The next few years will be interesting for Apple. With innovation inevitably slowing and consumers becoming aware of its incremental design tactics there will be worries in the camp.
But regardless of these growing concerns, there is no question that Apple is still marketing in a way which is incomparable to any other brand.
While the company is still innovating in its marketing output, we should take a second to learn a thing or two…
1. Creating sensual intrigue
To most, hearing would be without question the second most important sense when it comes to video based advertising. Visually striking images can be highly captivating and there is no arguing the power of the medium for influencing its audience.
However, channels are saturated, with more adverts than ever taking up longer break periods. As a consequence, viewers senses have been numbed, their brains trained to tune off between their favourite entertainment programs.
With this in mind, there is a brilliant quote from David Ogilvy that springs to mind…
Try running your commercial with the sound turned off. If it doesn't tell without sound, it is useless."
However, Apple appears to have taken this theory one step further. Not only does it ensure that the messages can be conveyed without sound, but it has made it draw in viewers.
I learnt this from personal experience. When I was deep in concentration trying to cook a chicken korma on a dull Tuesday I naturally had the television talking to itself in the background…
Queue an Apple advert and the continuous droning of brands trying to sell stopped, replaced by almost silence, naturally it had got my attention. What has happened to my television set?!
The answer was nothing; it is just an incredible smart piece of adverting which grabbed my attention without grabbing at me.
2. Consistency through time and across product ranges
Too often brands lack consistency, whether that is between offline and online marketing collateral, or page by page on a website.
In fact, it is not unusual to see brands rehashing their logos, slogans and branding on a regular basis. I am always sad to see this, as familiarity is one of the most important attributes in creating brand loyalty and if a company keeps changing its image, how can an advocate remain faithful?
Apple has ensured that is not the case, you can look through advertising material from the last decade and you will always find comparable characteristics.
While it moves forward and develops, there is a clear progression so there is never too much variance between models and product generations. Apple encourages brand loyalty this way.
This consistency is present in the latest collection of adverts which you can watch below on your lunch break!
FaceTime Every Day
Music Every Day
Photos Every Day
3. Inspiring, encouraging imagination and drawing emotion
With content marketing buzz at a record high, Apple should be a best-in-class example to give you inspiration.
Apple has focused on the environment that the product is used in rather than the actual products features. Whether it is someone snapping a breath taking landscape, a woman sharing relationship problems on FaceTime or someone listening to music on their bus home, they are all experiences which we can relate to, regardless of our device, language or location.
Experiences that we can relate to naturally bring out emotions, which is why emotive marketing remains one of the most powerful ways to appeal to an audience, just ask a non-profit!
Knowing that it was likely that these advertisements would be drawing emotion from viewers, I thought it would be interesting to see the impact of these adverts on social sentiment. Using Topsy I dug into social conversations (well worth a free trial if you haven't tried it) and this is what I found.
The FaceTime advert launched on the 5th of August 2013, doesn't look good does it…
(click image for larger version)
However, from having a closer look at the conversations it is completely misleading. In fact, the sentiment analysis tool had been segmenting words such as "cried" and "tears" as negative and completely misunderstood the conversations.
If you stop to think about it, this is the best form of social advocacy that Apple could have ever hoped for.
The first thing you are going to do when your friend posts something like this is to head to YouTube to watch it!
Before you know it, Apple has produced a marketing campaign which will snowball socially without any profiles to even distribute it. The viewers have become the distributors, every brands ideology.
What other brands have you seen using emotive advertising to its potential?

Good analysis but what about recent Google's Android Hijacking Apples announcements. It proves minds at google just amazing, though apple seems to be playing it nice for now.
Emotive marketing is a good creative strategy as creates activity. But what apple lacks is responsive marketing strategy. People are price conscious and these ads do not send that message out. It still makes customers believe that apples products though qualitative, but will come at a higher price, and that's where samsung and google take he market share from apple.
I know apple are now coming out with a C phone, but isn't it a bit late for them to do so. They haven't responded well and on time to the market opportunity.
Well opinions will differ and totally appreciate. But the above is just from what I believe.
@Prashant - Thanks for the comment Prashant. It is not unusual for brands to imitation Apple, it is a form of flattery fundamentally. If you atke KitKat's most recent spoof ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKOrkLxOBoY ) for example, although it makes fun of Apple, it is essentially marketing Apple.
@Ashwin - Thanks for the comment also! However, I am not sure I agree with the iPhone C... It is diluting their brand, if people want "The iPhone", they won't want the cheaper version...
Obviously their strategy has been limiting their market share as you suggest, but the exclusivity is one of the things that make their products so desirable to begin with.
It's pretty incredible how you can search "cried Iphone advert" and get a whole bunch of tweets... there are many others like ourselves, we are not as unique and independent as we think we are. #contemplation

Mobile represents one of Facebook's biggest challenges, but the company that just went public in what is sure to be remembered as one of the most infamous IPOs ever, that challenge is also a huge opportunity.
In an effort to exploit that opportunity, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was willing to pay $1bn for a revenue-less startup (Instagram) and the company's own engineers have been working on their own mobile apps (Facebook Camera).
But are mobile apps enough, or does Facebook need something more?
A report by the New York Times' Nick Bilton this past weekend indicates that Facebook may be looking well beyond software. According to Bilton's sources, the world's largest social network is working on a smartphone that it hopes to release next year.
How serious is Facebook? Apparently, serious enough that it has reportedly "already hired more than half a dozen former Apple software and hardware engineers who worked on the iPhone, and one who worked on the iPad, the employees."
As Bilton notes, rumors about a Facebook phone have come up several times in the past several years. Those efforts didn't get far, sources say, because the company believed -- perhaps naively -- that it could figure hardware out on its own. But now free of the illusion that it can build a smartphone without hardware expertise, Facebook is, if you believe the reports, working feverishly to do something very few companies have been able to do: go from software to hardware successfully.
The apparent impetus for this: "Mark [Zuckerberg] is worried that if he doesn't create a mobile phone in the near future that Facebook will simply become an app on other mobile platforms" according to an anonymous Facebook employee.
Given that fear was rumored to have played a big role in Zuckerberg's decision to pay $1bn for Instagram, this doesn't seem entirely implausible. As the Instagram acquisition, which is pending FTC approval, showed, what Mark Zuckerberg wants, Mark Zuckerberg gets.
The big question, of course, is whether building a Facebook phone would be a smart move. It's one thing to spend a billion dollars on a mobile app. It's another thing entirely to build a phone. The costs are huge, the competition is fierce and the mobile ecosystem is complicated. Facebook faces a number of unique challenges. A potentially big one: as popular as it is, it's not exactly a trusted brand. That for, obvious reasons, could be problematic when it comes to selling one of the most personal devices used.
Does any of this mean Facebook is bound to fail? Not necessarily. But the costs of succeeding may far outweigh the possible rewards. The idea that Facebook could achieve Apple-like success is far-fetched, but what about Android-like success? That may seem unlikely to, but even assuming for a minute that Facebook can do something special in the mobile hardware or platform market, it's worth considering that Google hasn't made a lot of money from Android.
Google, of course, can afford to invest in Android. Can Facebook? Thanks to its rich IPO, the company has more than $9bn in the bank. If it decides to build a phone, it will go a long way towards answering the question: how is it going to spend all that cash?

I wonder if it will share your facebook information with outside sources. Thats my concern there is already way to much facebook snooping as it is from Employers, Goverment and then private agencies fishing for angles.. So im not concerned with the phone but my information.

According to a study recently released by Yahoo, UK internet users are suffering from information overload.
As reported by the Association of Online Publishers UK, the study, which is entitled "Return on Attention," found that 70% of users "admitted to spending hours sifting through unwanted or irrelevant information."
62% of the users surveyed even felt that online information overload was having "a detrimental impact on their lives."
Yahoo, not surprisingly, looked at the study in the context of online marketing, noting that 79% of users want something in return for their "attention" to advertising.
Kristof Fahy, the VP of Marketing for Yahoo Europe, is quoted as stating:
"Successful marketers will develop innovative strategies to help people filter their already over stretched attention. It's no longer a case of just getting your voice heard, it's about having a dialogue with the individual while understanding and responding to their needs."
Of course, it's worth pointing out that successful marketing has always provided something of value to the recipient (that's why it's successful).
But I think it's worthwhile to take a step back and look at the study in a broader context.
Why do we have information overload?
As I see it, information overload is largely the result of a philosophy adopted by many of today's internet entrepreneurs.
That philosophy goes a little something like this - more information, more value.
From news aggregators to recommendation services to social networks, internet entrepreneurs have been busy turning the internet into an ocean of information.
The problem is that the ocean is far larger than required by the tiny fish that swim in it - the users.
Of course, these entrepreneurs tell us that their services are designed to help us find information that's relevant and to filter out the information that isn't. After all, we're sharing "stuff" with our friends and family and that means it's going to be relevant, right?
About as relevant as those annoying family newsletters Uncle Bartholomew sends out every holiday.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, entrepreneurs have also been busy creating incredible algorithms that help computers locate information that's of interest to us.
In essence, we're being told that today's internet is getting more and more information-efficient.
In my opinion, however, our information efficiency is a lot like our energy efficiency. Many of the devices we use on a daily basis may individually be more "energy-efficient" but we're using more of them and thus, consuming more energy than ever before.
And so it goes with information efficiency. In theory, we have great tools that should help us with information overload but we're using so many of them that the amount of information we're exposed to is still far greater than before.
While people like Robert Scoble may disagree, Yahoo's study hints at what most of us in the "mainstream" have known for some time - the internet today looks more like an information junkyard than an information superhighway.
A few million blogs too many, a billion useless tweets, petabytes of photos that are probably better off stored as memories.
At the American Magazine Conference in October, Google CEO Eric Schmidt stated that the internet is at risk of becoming a "becoming a cesspool."
He observed that "a world of disinformation...is the future" and noted that "the future of high quality journalism is a huge problem." At the same time, he called for more investment in the type of high-quality content that is produced by magazines, noting that brands help individuals determine which sources of information to trust.
Schmidt's comments are somewhat ironic, of course, since Google's goal is to "organize the world's information" and his company controls its own portfolio of largely useless content.
That said, even if he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth, he's correct.
The promise of the internet is being marginalized, as evidenced by the fact that 88% of the users in Yahoo's study stated they are being forced to block out irrelevant messaging.
But where there's a threat, there's also an opportunity.
Just as many advertisers flee to quality to deal with today's stark global economy, internet entrepreneurs should consider fleeing to quality as well.
Forget user-generated content, forget the "new media" notion that editorial structures are overrated and ditch the philosophy that more is better.
Instead, focus on providing high-value content, strive to employ editorial policies that help ensure every piece of information you supply is unique and relevant and adopt the mantra "less is more."
The promise of the internet was never built on notions of democratic content production, free content or crowdsourcing; it was built on efficient global access to high-quality, useful information.
Just as the best freeways are the ones that aren't plagued by bumper-to-bumper traffic, an information superhighway shouldn't be marked by a nasty-looking traffic jam of information that might encourage you to stay home rather than go out.
If you're working on the next Twitter, FriendFeed or Digg, you're looking to serve the market of people who think that information overload makes individuals smarter. It doesn't, as evidenced by how gullible these people are.
Yet if logic and empirical evidence won't convince you that the real opportunity is in providing high-quality information, one need only compare the CPMs charged by branded online content properties to the CPMs charged by properties like MySpace to gauge where the value is at.
Solving the problem of information overload isn't going to be easy. The cesspool that has been created isn't going to be drained anytime soon (and realistically never will).
Yet if you're looking to exploit the business opportunities offered by the internet, do consider that the opportunity lies outside of the cesspool.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are not a Twitter user.
If you were, you likely would see your initial implication of all tweets being "useless" change dramatically with the positive impact these kinds of phatic messages have in strengthening community and individual relationships.
Taken individually, each typical tweet contains throwaway information, the kind of thing you wouldn't see in a newspaper or a blog (usually). The 140-character constraint is ideally suited both for these disposal statements and encouraging participation itself. Fortunately, no one using twitter consumes tweets in isolation. These disposable bit of information come from all of the people in your personal network, mimicking the same kinds of small talk that is vital to cultivating and maintaining relationships offline.
Twitter and other microblogging channels have no expectation of response. It is both asynchronous, where anyone can dip their feet or pour water into the public stream when they want, and directed one:many. Conversations (mostly) are brief, directed exchanges (estimated about 1/4 of all tweets are formal replies) or much more commonly, general announcements to the world.
If microblogging is teaching us anything else, it is the power of customized filtering. Just because millions of blogs are producing all that content each day, or Twitter is cranking out 1.4 million tweets daily, doesn't mean their is either the expectation or the necessity to consume them all. Our individual views of the web are able to become as large or small as we are each comfortable. Follow networks are not all the same, in fact they are not even mutual (where two people have to agree to take on each others posts in order to view). It is completely in your control which authors you want to follow and whether or not you want to stop following them. Tools are going to emerge that bring that kind of control to the rest of the internet, so our consumption isn't viewed as a burden. We will gather what we need.
Kevin: it's funny you went out on a limb and guessed that I'm not a Twitter user because I fairly recently joined Twitter and performed a little "experiment." You can read my thoughts here:
I dipped my feet into the "public stream" you speak of and the water was dirty and it was cold.
I quite honestly found few "conversations" or "exchanges" that were intelligent or valuable and I also found it extremely difficult to keep up with the constant flow of random tweets that make up a sort of disjointed collective stream of consciousness.
There is a key point that I think needs to be made: many (if not most) people have no interest in acquiring more information that needs to be filtered. There's already enough of that out there.
If you're passionate about "social media" and have the time to manage and filter tweets, that's great. If online social interaction is your thing, that's great.
For me, having to filter out nonsense ("woke up late") and unintelligent commentary ("GOOG is a buy at $380") just wasn't worth it. And I certainly don't need to be on Twitter to stay on top of what's happening in the world today. Mainstream sources that have editorial controls do that just fine (and ironically, get linked to a whole lot on Twitter).
Bottom line: I just don't have the time. And when I ask myself the questions "Does Twitter help me become a more informed person?", "Does Twitter help me maintain better relationships with my friends?" and "Does Twitter add value to my life?", the answer was no.
Some might answer yes and that's obviously perfectly alright but if you are building internet businesses, I think the study discussed in this post is worth considering because it suggests that most internet users are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information they are being supplied and they are filtering out quite a bit of it. They seem to want less overall information and more quality information.
Creating services that are designed to increase the volume of raw information they have access to seems to be questionable in my opinion because you're fighting that dynamic.
I argue that your methodology for your experiment is flawed.
Robert Scoble, Leo Leport, Barack Obama ... these are not the typical Twitter users. They are the anomaly. Most will have a balanced following-follower ratio and have networks that are under 100 people. Most people use direct replies about 1 out of every 5 tweets. Most people use Twitter primarily with people they know in some capacity.
Twitter, as a phatic function of communication, is not meant to replace any other form of communication. It is a supplement.
Give it more time than 13 days trying to prove a point you already convinced yourself you knew. In fact, do it very quietly. Don't blog about. Don't purposely push buttons. Take a more ethnographic approach and see if your opinion changes after several weeks.
Start small, with people you do know and care about. You need some critical mass, but 10-20 reasonably active users (the 1+ a day variety) will get you some real sense of community.
Use something other than the Twitter web site. Highly recommended for Mac users is Twitterrific, and for Windows is Twhirl. Tweetdeck and some of the new iPhone apps are also experience changers. Don't go to the tweets; make them come to you.
Respond or not in the moment and be OK with that.
If you are going into this just looking for investing diamonds or polished insights, they you are indeed viewing the medium incorrectly, imo. It is not about information. It is about relationships, fueled by a flow of tiny bits of disposable information. The online and offline mix much better because you do know that Member X frequents a local restaurant or was feeling bad the previous week.
Look at Twitscoop (http://www.twitscoop.com) for an example of how powerful the aggregation of all those little tweets can be.
Reclaim your deleted account. No reason for deletion, and no chance of anyone evaluating your experience detailed in your blog on its own merits.
Or ... not. One of the reasons Twitter is only approaching 4 million accounts is not just because it is new. It also isn't for everyone. I just wanted to suggest that your basis for for saying no and condemning Twitter isn't strengthened by the test you conducted.
Kevin: thanks for the thoughtful response.
Admittedly, my "experiment" was a bit tongue-in-cheek. That said, Twitter really isn't all that useful for me.
Only a few of my friends and associates use Twitter and they weren't very active when I was using the service.
When it comes to my friends, most of my interaction is in person or over the phone. When it comes to business associates, I communicate by phone, email, IM and in person when geographically possible. As such, given the fact that my real-life "social network" isn't really using Twitter, there's very little practical use for it in my life.
On a typical day, I work more than 12 hours (far too many of them are in front of computer monitors) and I'm not really looking for a social or "community" experience online. I just don't have time for it.
I completely understand that some people find Twitter valuable. That's cool, although I'm personally of the opinion that some people spend far too much time using services like Twitter and would be more productive if they didn't use it so much. C'est la vie.
All of this said, as someone who runs a number of online services, I'm always looking at the state of the online market, what the trends are, where there is opportunity, etc.
And I'd observe that this issue of "information overload" is a significant one because it tells us that perhaps the majority of internet users are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information they're being bombarded with online and are being forced to filter out much of it.
As an entrepreneur, that's important to me. It not only means that barriers and challenges are being created for the services I run, it also means that there is opportunity being created to stand out from the crowd by providing content that is useful, focused and of tangible value.
I'm certainly a bit biased. At the end of the day, I'm a content guy. I'll bet my money on high-quality, professionally-produced, unique content over user-generated content every day. When I look at where the real money is being made online (and where I've been able to make my money online), I have no reason to abandon "premium" content for user-generated content.
But let's put that aside.
No matter what type of content you "believe in," however, I think the implications of the study discussed in this post are clear: users want content of value no matter where that content comes from. If you don't provide it, you're increasingly liable to be "filtered out."
On a side note, the ~6 minutes I've spent typing this response are certainly more than I would have invested in writing 15 tweets but I've gotten more out of this "conversation" than I would have from trying to write things that are worthwhile in only 140 characters. Food for thought.

Baylor's Vice President for Human Resources Will Leave for Position at Indiana UniversityJune 9, 2014
WACO, Texas (June 9, 2014) — John J. Whelan, J.D., vice president for human resources at Baylor University, has accepted a position at the University of Indiana as associate vice president for human resources, effective June 30.
Whelan has led the human resources office at Baylor University for the past five years and was named a vice president and appointed to the Executive Council in February 2014.
Whelan said he is grateful for the "wonderful privilege" of having served at Baylor.
"This campus is filled with faculty and staff members who exhibit the highest levels of professionalism and pride for Baylor, which has made my tenure so fulfilling," he said. "I am especially indebted to the Human Resources team members who make every day enjoyable and who have helped me grow into a better person and stronger leader. My family and I are excited to embrace new opportunities and challenges at Indiana University, but we will always feel a sense of connection with Baylor and the Waco community."
"During his tenure, John Whelan has greatly strengthened and enhanced our Human Resource services, helped us to recruit and retain many outstanding and talented employees and implemented a range of policies and procedures that have ensured Baylor's continued standing as a great college to work for," said Reagan Ramsower, Ph.D., senior vice president for operations and chief financial officer at Baylor. "It has been our great pleasure to work with him as a colleague at Baylor, and we wish him continued success at Indiana."
Baylor University is a private Christian university and a nationally ranked research institution, characterized as having "high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The university provides a vibrant campus community for approximately 15,000 students by blending interdisciplinary research with an international reputation for educational excellence and a faculty commitment to teaching and scholarship. Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas through the efforts of Baptist pioneers, Baylor is the oldest continually operating university in Texas. Located in Waco, Baylor welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries to study a broad range of degrees among its 11 nationally recognized academic divisions. Baylor sponsors 19 varsity athletic teams and is a founding member of the Big 12 Conference.

If so, then anyone who's "tuning out" is being worst kind of candy-ass quitter and doesn't deserve any points. Also, since they're not absorbing any new clues, they're not going to get any better. In short, they're bad at quizbowl and will be so forever.
In short, "tuning out" for any reason looks to me like just quitting, plain and simple. You're going to have to look somewhere else for sympathy for people who do that.
I say, rather, that I am merely wondering what a commonly-used term means and stating that, if it means what I think it does, then the practice it represents is reprehensible; the cessation of such a practice is in the interest of both ACF and its customers.DanGreenstein wrote:comment... that do[es] not even consider the possibility that the customer might come first.

Well, then, perhaps you could also kindly explain the expurgation of this question that I also submitted to ACF fall 2005:
If anyone would like to know why their questions were cut, please email us at email@example.com and we'll be happy to tell you.

recfreq wrote:(I also requested that my replaced questions be left in the packet for people to read after the tourney, but I don't know what ever happened with that--but no, I'm not bitter.)
Bruce wrote:I'm not sure I would ever feel "My questions are likely to be thrown out or merged, so I'll write crappy questions", but perhaps I function differently from others. What I -would- think, however, is "These editors are getting thousands of questions from all across the country which they will combine into a single set. Surely, if my questions are of a lesser quality that that of which I am capable, the tournament will not suffer, because they will clearly have enough good questions for 14+ rounds of quality. With such an intake, it is a mathematical certainty, even at a low incidence of good questions among the submissions."
Bruce wrote:Especially with a program so able to throw away money on late or no-packet penalties as Chicago, that might become more common. I don't see how it could really be averted.
recfreq wrote:1st of all, no one is insinuating that there's anything sinister going on, and a list of my rejected questions was only used to reveal its cardinality. 2nd of all, I don't need to receive an argument on behalf of ACF as previously posted, just a list of questions rejected and outcomes, something as short as "repeat" or "difficulty level" or o/w one word/one phrase answers would suffice. Thanks you very much for doing this, as I generally haven't gotten much in this type of feedback in the past despite emailing tournament directors (not exclusive to ACF). If you find that all the questions were too difficult, that's fine, I'll be sure to submit a packet full of Wagners and Einsteins next time, and perhaps I'll be closer to ACF expectations the next time around (if I chose to play this again).
recfreq wrote:May be it's just b/c I can't get over having my Choral Sym TU chopped, but I just want to declare that I'd rather change people's questions rather than replace them whenever possible while editing questions. I think some people put a lot of work into those questions. For example, if you look at my original packet, you'll find that every question was of that high level of commitment. If people don't like them all, that's fine, but I generally don't "take questions off," even though only 20/20 have the potential of making it into the packet. I think it's fairly evident from a 1st read whether a question took a lot of work to write. (Just compared my packet with some of other packets you received.) I just wanted to persuade editors from taking these particular questions out quickly to be replaced, but instead, see if they can be worked into the packet. This is especially crucial since every submitted question can no longer be used in the future, so you miss out on the opportunity for them to be heard, despite the work.
recfreq wrote:Although I do wonder why Raskolnikov and Bertram couldn't both make good TUs, and why both Saint Joan (with an obvious giveaway) and My Antonia couldn't both make gettable questions, I realize that there's a lot that editors have to deal with, and for that I'm very grateful. So perhaps I'll drop the subjects right here and move on to discussing the questions (one problem is that the questions are all so good, there's nothing much to discuss on that front).
recfreq wrote:A final point: may be this seems such a big deal to me b/c I'm committed to my questions. Every question is an original, creative work, in my opinion. You may say that it's simply synthesizing info from disparate sources, but I'd argue that that's what some of the greatest works of writing have done, be it synthesizing source material or life experiences. So pls don't take my criticism to heart, b/c I just love writing questions too much. (Perhaps Jordan and others also feel this way.) (Perhaps this is also why I liked writing singles movies tournaments.) If I'd liked it less, perhaps I wouldn't mind seeing it taken out instead of being edited (I'm talking about removing all the clues vs. changing some of the clues.) That was my rationale for submitting substandard questions, b/c it's healthier to see your children kidnapped rather than your children devoured.

csrjjsmp wrote:Seth, what is the reason to support having a more well-known answer, if the knowledge being tested is identical? It seems to me that what you propose is just changing a few pronouns, and it's not clear to me how that will by itself make the question easier.

Nathan wrote:"Thus, tossups on "Adonais" or "Oe" or "Saint Joan" or "Raskolnikov" or "Snows of Kilimanjaro"
These, as a set, are too hard for ACF Fall.
With that said, I think Snows of Kilimanjaro or even Raskolnikov would be fine so long as the other three were "easier."

setht wrote:If I recall correctly the question started off with clues about the Lipschitz condition and Picard's existence theorem, which apply specifically to ODEs, not PDEs.
grapesmoker wrote:I think typically, the level of knowledge goes as [name of author]->[names of some of his books]->[names of characters in those books]. That said, I think Raskolnikov is sufficiently well-known to be ok, and a tossup on him would certainly be preferrable to a tossup on The Posessed at this level. I would have thought that Snows of Kilimanjaro is sufficiently well-known also. I read that in high school, and I imagine lots of people did too.
grapesmoker wrote:recfreq wrote:19. Is "ordinary" really needed for differential equations? I said normal and regular before eating the neg, but perhaps you could just point out my ineptitude.
The answer is yes. Every singe math class or text I've ever been to or read on the subject has been quite explicit in its differentiation between ordinary and partial differential equations. Also, neither regular nor normal are ever used to describe ODEs.
Sorry dude. I had to penalize my own team on that one, so don't feel like I'm picking on you.
ekwartler wrote:17) Tchaikovsky was the giveaway. Of course it = swan lake. Swan Lake is a tough thing to write about without getting overly technical, so if players almost automatically get it after the "giveaway," so be it.
18) That leadin might be a bit easy, but the question is not "who else gettable had periods?" it's "who else gettable had a serialist period?", the answer to which is "Stravinsky, Schoenberg," or at higher levels "Berg, Webern, Part," etc.

ACF wrote:One serious drawback to this method is its high sensitivity, as it tends to produce many false positives in an unclean lab. Used diagnostically in some introductory lab courses for the purposes of determining the orientation of an inserted gene, it is also used in site-directed mutagenesis and in quantitative measurement of a specific mRNA in tissue. Cooling is necessary for rehybridization and for attachment of the primers to the original or newly synthesized DNA strands, but near-boiling temperatures will still not denature a certain enzyme of Thermus aquaticus, commonly known as Taq [TACK]. FTP, name this technique developed for large scale amplification of DNA, first proposed by Kary Mullis in 1983.
csrjjsmp wrote:Regarding the adenine question, there was one clue that identified the answer as being studied by Chargaff. But as far as I know, Chargaff studied all 4 DNA bases, so this clue struck me as not very helpful. I think the SN2 question has an analogous problem with the "facilitated by a better leaving group" clue, which is once again true for all 4 nucleophilic reactions and doesn't really help narrow the range of possible answers.
what is the standard for CC/Florida circuit teams?

This guide will tell you how to change the extensions of files. This is mostly for people having trouble changing .zip files to .jar files.
To change the extensions of files follow this method (using windows):
1 - open any folder
2 - click on tools > folder options
3 - select the "view" tab
4 - make sure that "hide extensions for known file types" is de-selected.
5 - rename your file to "filename".(extension)
*make sure to re-select "hide extensions for known file types" after you're done. This is for your safety as others using the same PC may mess up your files.
If ALL that doesn't work, then try THIS application by Err0r :bash:
*mobile9 does not take responsibility for any damages caused.

MIAMI — John Buck doubled for his first career pinch-hit RBI to drive in the go-ahead run with two out in the eighth inning, and the Florida Marlins rallied past the New York Mets 5-4 on Sunday.
The Marlins trailed 4-3 going into the eighth against Bobby Parnell (3-2). Logan Morrison led off with a game-tying homer, and Mike Stanton singled. A sacrifice advanced the runner, and Buck put Florida ahead.
Buck, the Marlins' regular catcher, was pinch-hitting for only the third time this season.
Florida's Emilio Bonifacio singled leading off the first inning to extend his career-best hitting streak to 23 games, the longest active streak in the majors. Stanton hit his 22nd home run.

"Sense"ationalizing Your Office
By Monika A. Buerger, BA, DC
It is going to be another great day in the office. On the schedule is a six year-old child with chronic ear infections coming to you as a new patient. Unbeknownst to you, this child also struggles with attention issues and frequent aggressive outbursts. In the last issue of Practice Insights, we brought a glimpse of what a neurodevelopment practice might look like. We also mentioned Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and promised to bring you more on this unique population group.
I would first like you to partake in an "out of body experience" with me. Try and forget who you are and that you have ever been inside your office before. You are now this six year-old child coming to your office for the first time. When you open the door to your office, what do your eyes tell your brain, is it too bright and distracting? Is there a lot of movement and chaos? What about your ears, is it noisy? What does your nose smell, chemicals or other toxic elements? Are there toys that you can touch that your brain may enjoy? Is there seating that is warm and inviting that may help keep you grounded while you anxiously wait for your appointment? Was all of the initial paperwork received ahead of time or do you have to try and sit still while your mother or father fills everything out?
With the numbers drastically on the rise, it is imperative that our profession better understand this population group in order to provide them with the most optimal care. In this article, we will discuss environmental strategies as well as chiropractic strategies to help individuals struggling with sensory processing issues.
What is Sensory Processing Disorder?
Sensory Processing Disorder is the inability to take in, organize, analyze and integrate information the brain receives from the senses and then respond in a meaningful and appropriate manner. In essence, sensory input does not lead to proper motor output. The neurological disorganization resulting in SPD occurs in three different ways: 1) the brain does not receive messages due to a disconnection in the nerve cells, 2) sensory messages are received inconsistently, or 3) sensory messages are received consistently, but do not connect properly with other sensory messages. When the brain processes sensory messages poorly, inefficient motor, academic or emotional output is the result. A 2009 study in the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology suggests that one in every six children have sensory issues that impede their daily functioning, socialization and learning. It is important to know that SPD is not restricted to children only. Adults with Sensory Defensiveness are thought to have higher rates of anxiety and depression as a result of trying to apply coping mechanisms in order to handle the abnormal sensory input to their brain.
The Eight Senses
The sensory processing system is comprised of five far senses: auditory, visual, tactile, taste and olfactory. This is information we take in from the outside world. In addition, there are three near senses: vestibular, proprioceptive and interoceptive. This information is received from our internal self. The vestibular system is thought to be the "chief regulator" of sensory processing with the ability to "ramp up or tone down" information coming into the CNS from all other sensory systems. Interoceptive sensation is that received from our internal viscera and organs and is primarily regulated via the Vagus Nerve.
Autonomic Regulation
The neurological underpinning within this population group is that of autonomic dysregulation. A person struggling with sensory issues may be hypersensitive to stimuli and deemed "Sensory Defensive." They are often in "fight or flight" with the sympathetic nervous on full throttle most of the time. These individuals experience otherwise non-noxious sensation as being harmful, painful or distracting and may not habituate to or cannot function effectively in their presence. As chiropractors, we must be mindful of potential vertebral subluxations in the parasympathetic nervous system when it comes to the sensory defensive (also known as sensory over-responders) patient. The adrenal glands will most likely be taxed with these individuals; thus, we will also see signs of adrenal fatigue and immune compromise. In such cases, support with dietary counseling and proper supplementation is imperative in conjunction with the adjustment. It is thought that approximately 56% of those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and approximately 69% with ADHD are said to be sensory over-responders.

The Salisbury University Police Department is committed to protecting the safety and security of the entire campus community. Therefore, a campus security escort service, utilizing a combination of police officers, security guards, student patrol, and student volunteers, is available to all students, faculty, and staff members who feel uncomfortable walking during the hours of darkness.
Security escort services are provided to individuals who are walking either on campus or between campus and nearby off-campus locations during the hours of darkness, typically dusk to dawn. Off-campus locations supported by security escort services are those listed below as well as locations between main campus and these destinations:
If you wish to request the escort service, please call (410)543-6222. When a request for a security escort is received, you will be asked to provide your name, contact number, location and intended destination. Police personnel will verify, through GullNet, your identity as a student, faculty or staff member of the university. University Police reserves the right to deny escort service when a request is made for which the campus security escort service is not intended or if the location falls outside a reasonable perimeter of campus as listed above. (See below for examples of requests that are deemed inappropriate.) If the request is appropriate, University Police will determine whether to provide you with a walking escort or transport via a motor vehicle.
In the event that a police officer is the only option for an escort, calls for police service must take precedence over the escort. For example, a report of any crime, accident or alarm will supersede a call for a police escort. If an officer or escort gets delayed, you will be notified via phone call and an estimated time of arrival will be provided.
Examples of inappropriate requests for security escort services include, but may not be limited to, the following:
As a student, faculty, or staff member of this campus, your safety is of paramount importance to us. If you, at any time, are concerned about your safety, do not hesitate to call University Police at (410) 543-6222. We do ask, however, that you restrict your requests for the campus security escort service to those that are appropriate so we can best serve the overall safety needs of our campus.

Gaybbagrandson on Family Tree Circles
view: full | list
Journals and Posts
My name is Daniel Brown,
My mothers maiden name is Kathleen Swan Gaybba,born in Montreal, Quebec Canada,daughter of William Gaybba.
William married Helen Downs Weir Boyle in 1925 in Montreal.
They had 5 children, Dianna, Anna (deceased), Richard(deceased drowned at a young age), Kathleen(my mom),
and Helen.
William Gaybba was my grandfather and I am 1 of Kathleen's 10 children.
My grandfather William met my grandmother on a ship coming to Canada.
My grandfather was always elusive about his past according to my mother. As a kid growing up in Canada I was always intrigued by my mothers maiden name.
My cousin Susan Pate has done some research as have my sisters Deborah and Shairn.
I believe my grandfathers father was William Eugene Gaybba, married to Marie Lawson of South Africa.
Could it be possible that William Eugene Gaybba, is the son of James, Matthew John, or William of Scotland
who arrived in South Africa in 1849 or 1850?
From what little information we can pry from our 82 year old mother apparently my grandfather was somewhat of a badboy.
I have looked on line and I believe that estelleg, mimsi,and brian, and I may be of the same Gaybba line but I have only started my research.
My grandfather had a sister who he loved her name was Dianne.
My aunts always tell me I look like a Gaybba......Oh course I take this as a compliment.
If you can provide further information on my ancestry I would be most grateful
Thank-you to Estelle, Mimsi and Brian for their valuable information.

Catalyst Europe is pleased to announce an expert panel discussion titled, "How to Argue the Business Case for Diversity," hosted by Dell in Munich/Aschheim.
Today, it is broadly accepted that workplace diversity can lead to increased revenues, reduced costs, greater innovation, and better employee engagement, productivity, and commitment. But still, leaders working to create diverse and inclusive workplaces in which women can advance are often met with resistance from decision makers. Therefore it is essential to make a compelling business case to link diversity initiatives and business goals.
This high level discussion will feature Ilene H. Lang, President and CEO of Catalyst, MEP Dr. Angelika Niebler, Dr. Bettina Orlopp, Partner at McKinsey & Company, and Prof. Dr. Isabell Welpe, Chair of Strategy and Organization at TU Munich. Sibylle Rupprecht, Catalyst Europe Executive Director, and Dr. Isabelle Kürschner, Catalyst Europe Ambassador to the Germanic Region, will facilitate the conversation. Please RSVP to [email protected].

As part of this year's Open House New York Weekend, we'll be staying open late — until 11:00 PM — on Friday, October 8, and Saturday, October 9. Created by a former Friends of the High Line volunteer, Open House New York arranges access to unique and inspiring places in the city that are usually closed to the public.
If you've only experienced the High Line during the day, we highly recommend stopping by this weekend. The park's grasses, plankings, and art deco railings all take on different textures, and Hervé Descotte's lighting design transforms the way it feels to travel through the park. It's also a great place to get a unique view of the city's lights.
As we've done in the past, we're also offering free guided walking tours of the High Line at the West Side Rail Yards. We released more than 700 tickets on Wednesday, September 29, which were reserved within hours. We apologize that we cannot accommodate all those who would like to attend. Due to safety concerns, Friends of the High Line, the City of New York, and the railroad that owns this section of the High Line can only allow a certain number on the structure at one time.
Check more Open House New York Weekend events on their Web site.

The second day of elimination games saw the two teams that lost in last night's winner's bracket collect wins as SUNY Cortland and Heidelberg each advanced to Monday's semifinal round with wins at the NCAA Division III Baseball Championships.
Cortland started the day making quick work of Johns Hopkins, 23-8, while Heidelberg advanced with an 8-3 win over the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Johns Hopkins and Stevens Point were eliminated from the tournament.
Heidelberg's pitching staff kept UW-Stevens Point batters off balance allowing just eight hits on the way to an 8-3 victory.
Nathan James started the game for Heidelberg (42-7) and threw seven innings, giving up eight hits but allowing just one earned run and struck out six.
Sylvester Nino came on in relief to throw two hitless innings and secure the win.
Heidelberg took the lead in the second inning, scoring three runs as Elvin Williams and Ricardo Lizcano collected RBI singles. Williams also scored an unearned run in the inning.
The Student Princes added four more runs in the fifth, highlighted by an Andrew Buelow two-RBI single to center field.
Lizcano led Heidelberg from the plate, going 4-for-5 with two RBI. Williams added a 2-for-3 performance with two runs scored and two RBI.
Sam Spurney was the leading hitter for the Pointers, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line 2 standard 12-cup muffin/cupcake pans with papers.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and milk, alternately, into the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until well mixed. Divide the batter equally among the papers, filling them about 34 of the way up. Level the batter by dropping muffin pan on counter top to release the air bubbles.
Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 to 10 minutes and then remove the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
With an electric mixer, cream shortening and butter together. Add confectioners' sugar and granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract. Gradually beat in corn syrup. Continue beating until the mixture has thickened to a mayonnaise-like consistency, about 3 minutes.
When the cupcakes have cooled completely, fill a pastry bag, fitted with a medium-small plain, round tip with the vanilla filling. With a sharp, paring knife, cut a cross down into the center of each cupcake from the top, about 1-inch deep. Insert the tip of the pastry bag into the cross and gently squeeze about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the vanilla filling into the center of each cupcake. Wipe away any vanilla filling that oozes out when you remove the tip from the cupcake.
Cream the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar and salt together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar.
Frost the vanilla filled cupcakes with a butter knife or from a large star tipped pastry bag.

Press release 178/2017
12 October 2017
Finland and the IFC (International Finance Corporation), which is a member of the World Bank Group, will together set up a joint climate fund that will support renewable and clean energy solutions and other climate projects in developing countries. Finland will channel a total of EUR 114 million into the Finland-IFC Climate Change Program, whose duration is 25 years. The funds will be invested in climate projects during the next five years. This will be the largest funding ever targeted at international climate work in Finland.
"With this investment, Finland will fulfil the promise it gave at the United Nation's Climate Change Conference in Paris for directing a significant part of its development funding to climate actions. At the same time, establishing a joint fund with the world's largest development financier will open for Finnish companies a door to the growing clean energy solution markets in developing countries", says Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Kai Mykkänen.
Compared with the IFC's usual practice, the Finland Fund allows directing investments to poorer countries than before and focusing on earlier phase investments. Funds will only be invested in developing countries. Financial investments differ from grant based aid in that the capital invested will be returned and can be reused. In return for Finland's financing, the IFC will also invest its own capital in all of the projects. The aim is also to attract a large amount of other private and public capital.
Funding targets comprise loans granted for companies operating in developing countries, capital investments and guarantees, for instance. Acceptable sectors include energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable forestry and land use, meteorology, and water and wastewater solutions. In addition to climatic effects, the investments also target development effects, such as increasing the number of jobs and tax revenue.
The IFC is the world's leading private sector development financier. Philippe Le Houérou, CEO of the IFC, points out that trillions of dollars are needed for the world to transition to a low-carbon economy.
"This represents a significant investment opportunity for the private sector. But it requires a coordinated approach by governments and businesses—to remove barriers to the adoption of low-carbon technologies, strengthen policy and regulatory frameworks, and overcome investor perceptions of high risk. Our partnership with Finland is an important step toward those goals."
New opportunities for international cooperation will open up for Finnish companies, because many of them have strong climate competence and expertise in the sectors emphasized in the fund.
"We need not leave the energy and water solution markets in developing countries to the Danish or other players who traditionally have a strong presence in the area. In December, we will start a tour in Finland to share information on the opportunities offered by the IFC Fund and our other new development funding instruments", says Minister Mykkänen.

Best Liquid hand soap by far!
I actually bought this for the guest bathroom in my cabin. It was the packaging of the product that first caught my eye. When I put it out for use, thats when I loved it even more! The scent is not over powering and it smells like you are in a forest! A definite clean, crisp scent! I love this product and have the frasier fir mist spray also in the bathroom! I plan on only using this in my bathroom as I have gotten compliments from friends visiting. I would reccommend this to anyone! Also, the shipping turn time is very good!
Soothing memories
If I close my eyes, Frasier Firs' calming scent brings back memories of quiet walks on warm afternoons in forests of balsam pine.

Love this scent, everyone that uses our guest bathroom always says "I love that soap" ...where do you get it.
No Refills?
This is a wonderful product, but why no refills? Seems like a lost opportunity and wasteful to have to purchase a new pump each year. Our only disappointment.

After a short drive around Lake Geneva to the mountain-ensconced, lake adorned village Villeneuve, Joseph and I were treated to a long-overdue kebab. Following a walk along the lake, we headed back to our host home where a nap ensued (Joseph's longer than mine as he didn't sleep on the plane).
We traveled through Montreux – host of one of the world's premier jazz festivals – who's Palace Hotel is pictured above, and loaded in to La Chapelle de Clarens. To my wonderful surprise, the venue had arranged for Rolf Schnieder and Stephane Unger to be part of my backup band, both of whom were instrumental in the recording of our album into French (and are fine musicians and dear friends). Special thanks to Yves and Stephan for adding their considerable talents to the music of the evening.
After a 2-hour practice, Swiss pizza for dinner, and a time of prayer with the pastoral team, it was time to worship.
The church was packed out as people journeyed up to an hour away, which is long for the Swiss, almost halfway across their country. By the third song, we moved all the chairs out, and the dancing began. Granted, I sweat through every shirt I ever wear on stage, but you know things are hopping when it's drenched by the end of the fourth song.
When we were all exhausted, I shared a 20-minute message of encouragement on the affects of reaching just one person, as Jesus demonstrated in Mark 5. While we long for thousands in our regions to know Christ, it's often our responsibility with effecting one life that opens perpetual doors for others to walk through.
Upon arriving back at our host home, in typical Swiss fashion, the real eating and drinking began. Julien – a 13 year old chef extraordinaire – presented us with not one but two plates of sushi, and the father of the home, Fredo, brought out a 1988 Pinot Noir from their region in our honor.
We got to bed somewhere after 1am.
Today Joseph and I are heading to Geneva to meet up with the team we'll be ministering with through the weekend's youth conference. ch:

Cooper Foundation Awards Funding to Establish Microgravity Research Facility at the Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative (BRIC)May 7, 2012
Follow us on Twitter:@BaylorUMediaCom
Media Contact: Frank Raczkiewicz, (254) 710-1964
WACO, Texas (May 7, 2012) - Bill Clifton, chairman of the Cooper Foundation, today announced an award of $250,000 to Baylor University to construct a microgravity research facility within the Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative (BRIC). The BRIC is the cornerstone building of the research and discovery park under construction by Baylor University and its community stakeholders Texas State Technical College in Waco (TSTC), McLennan County, and the cities of Bellmead and Waco.
"This generous gift from the Cooper Foundation is vital to the region," said Truell Hyde, Ph.D.,Baylor University vice provost for research and director of the Center for Astrophysics, Space Physics and Engineering Research (CASPER). "Establishing a facility such as this within the BRIC not only provides Baylor and TSTC Waco faculty the ability to pursue new research and advanced training opportunities, it also provides incentive for industry partners to collaborate within the BRIC."
The Cooper Foundation has been an active stakeholder in the BRIC since its inception in 2008, providing funding to bring members of the Association of University Research Parks (AURP) to Waco to advise Baylor and its stakeholders regarding strategic planning for development of the facility. The AURP is a nonprofit association of national and international research, technology, and discovery park members that promotes research, industry, and government collaboration to provide economic growth for local communities surrounding research parks.
"The BRIC fits under our Community Visioning priority of promoting economic opportunities," Clifton said. "We believe the BRIC may prove one of the most important developments in our community this decade. The Cooper Foundation is pleased to be able to support prestigious research and technology commercialization here."
There are very few microgravity facilities in the world, and only a small percentage of these provide a true vacuum environment. Those that do are in constant demand, according to Hyde.
"For example, automotive and aerospace engineers have long been interested in the manner in which fuel injection systems influence fuel flow. One of the few mechanisms for exploring this experimentally is through the use of a microgravity facility. The BRIC facility will offer an affordable and repeatable method to conduct such tests in a drag-free, near-zero gravity environment, opening opportunities for Baylor faculty to collaborate with industrial partners," he said.
About Cooper Foundation
The Cooper Foundation was established in 1943 as a nonprofit, unincorporated trust wholly for the purpose of benevolent public usefulness. For more than 65 years, the Cooper Foundation has been awarding funds to make Waco a better place in which to live. Hundreds of grants and millions of dollars have been given to support the arts, education, health care, social services, historical preservation and tourism, recreation, public safety, city beautification, and feasibility surveys. The Foundation also serves an important role as convener and, at times, leader. For years Cooper has sponsored Waco Leadership Forum, which brings together the heads of important civic institutions. By convening five times a year, the Forum ensures items of common concern may be explored from a variety of perspectives. That is just one example of the many ways Cooper Foundation chooses to provide service to the Waco community.
About Baylor University
Baylor University is a private Christian university and a nationally ranked research institution, classified as such with "high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The university provides a vibrant campus community for approximately 15,000 students by blending interdisciplinary research with an international reputation for educational excellence and a faculty commitment to teaching and scholarship. Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas through the efforts of Baptist pioneers, Baylor is the oldest continually operating university in Texas. Located in Waco, Baylor welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries to study a broad range of degrees among its 11 nationally recognized academic divisions.
About BRIC
Once fully operational, the BRIC will house university research and university-industry research collaborations, advanced technology workforce development and training, a business accelerator, space for international and local meetings, and K-12 science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) outreach programs. Operations are scheduled to begin in the spring of 2013 as the first 45,000 square feet are occupied. The 330,000 - square foot BRIC facility and the 21 acres on which it is located were donated to Baylor in 2009 by the Clifton Robinson family and Bland Cromwell.

Motion and Optimization
Lesson 9 of 17
Objective: SWBAT use derivatives to solve optimization problems, and model linear motion using multiple derivatives and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Big Idea: Spring break is here, but Calculus does not need a break. Today we finish optimization and motion, then preview the spring break assignment.
Warm-Up + Homework Review
Today, we will check last night's homework right away…
From last night's homework, the two questions that give students the most difficulty are from 1988, Questions #16 and #45.
- Question #16 requires students to identify the time(s) when an object is at rest. Most students recognize that the language "at rest" means "velocity is 0" and can differentiate and solve from there. For some reason answer (e) tends to be a common distractor, but this answer seems to follow from minor +/– errors when students factor, and not necessarily a conceptual misunderstanding.
- Question #45 is a straight-forward optimization problem, but the most common distractors (a, b, c) involve different powers of 2. For this problem it is easiest to substitute out the variable h and then solve for r, but the question asks for the height h and therefore requires resubstitution into the constraint to solve for h. Review or reteach exponent and radical operations with students as necessary, but most likely students will have made a minor algebraic error somewhere along the way in obtaining the most common distractors.
The questions are available from the AP Calculus Release Tasks.
Resources (2)
Depending on how much time remains after going over homework, the In The Classroom file contains several practice optimization problems – the two optimization problems for minimizing distance from a point to a function are represented in the Minimize Distance to Function GeoGebra file. I like to use this applet to help students model (SMP #4) each optimization problem and provide appropriate support for struggling students to gain entry into these problems.
If time is short, I may pick one of the four optimization questions that I know students need to practice, and then spend the full 10 minutes (or however much time you have) solving and discussing this one problem. I find that with these problems it is more important for students to solve, discuss, summarize the solution process, and truly master a smaller number of problems, rather than treating these problems as rapid-fire exercises where attaining the solution is the end of the time students spend with each problem. Alternatively, I might present all four problems to students and then discuss only the setups for each without spending class time to work out the specific solutions. I will make this decision based on my assessment of my students' needs at this time (and their energy).
DIFFERENTIATION: As a scaffold for students' work today, I may direct students to review their solutions to other optimization problems and follow the same process with a current problem. This approach helps strengthen students' connections among different optimization problems. When they see similar processes used, it helps them make connections that will be useful in the context of an exam.
Resources (3)
Closure + Homework
The Quiz Optimization and Motion will take 20-25 minutes, and should occupy students through the end of the period. There are several versions of the quiz in the resources. Each version asks detailed interpretative questions about motion and have one optimization question.
Tonight's Homework: AP Test – MC 1997. Submit your "preliminary answers" by Wednesday and I will e-mail you a scores report. Make corrections then resubmit your "final answers", due Sunday night. Look up every question in the textbook, notes, homework examples, etc. to make sure you solve every question correctly. Score 100%! Do not wait until the night before each deadline to complete this assignment.
To learn more about my strategies for wrapping up a lesson, watch my Closing Lessons video where I discuss my common strategies for closing lessons.
