We get our numbers right, every time. That's because of the technical expertise of our Google Analytics Consultants. Our Google Analytics Audit Service is designed to help your business get your numbers right too.
We offer this service because many of the businesses we work with have troubles with their data. This leads to misconceptions about their Digital Marketing, and ultimately poor decisions, which in some cases can cost millions in Ad Spend and lost Revenue.
Our clients include startups, small businesses and enterprises. We work with eCommerce websites and other industries, all around Canada and the US.
If you are not seeing a clear picture of where your Leads and Sales come from. Your reports included unwanted traffic (site visits from your office or bot traffic). Or you don't see the expected results of your digital marketing decisions, then maybe you should give us a call.
Benefits of Google Analytics Audit
Data quality check - make sure your data in Google Analytics is correct data.

Tracking - make sure you are tracking the right actions in Universal Analytics and GA4.
Consistency - are you certain actions in Google Ads, Display Ads and Google Analytics are tracked in the same way?
Mistakes we often find during Google Analytics audit
Double counting - we often see businesses report x2 the actual Leads and eCommerce website Sales.

Consistency - "get optimized for 100 Leads in Paid Search, but only see 40 Leads in Google Analytics"
Channel attribution - where are Conversions coming from, are you giving more budget to the right channels?
Wrong actions - are you tracking the right actions on your website as conversions?
Not covering all website pages - this is incredibly common for enterprise-size corporate websites with multiple parties owning Tag Management.
What's Included
In order to collect data, you need to have a GA code snippet on every page of your website. We make sure it's implemented properly.
Channel filters, campaign tagging, redirects, UTM parameters etc.

Shilpi Goel, a Licensed Cosmetologist is practicing in Bay Area since 2001. She has Masters in Education and Organic Chemistry and studied at DayalBagh and Agra Universities in India. She chose to make her career in Beauty Care. She specializes in Threading and Eyebrow Shaping. She enjoys meeting people of all ethnicities and walks of life.
In one deft three-second move, her small fingers stretch and twist a length of white cotton thread into a Y shape between her two hands and mouth. In the next five minutes, Shilpi Goel's fingers work the twist in the thread like miniature shears and snip away at the pair of bushy eyebrows facing her. The thread goes "krrrp krrp krrrp," and tiny eyebrow hairs fall away, leaving behind two gorgeous arches. As her client-one of her 300 regulars-pays her and leaves, Goel greets another by her first name and invites her to the beautician's chair. As Goel positions herself behind a black all-purpose salon chair, she finds herself in a place quite removed from where she stood a few years ago.
Eight years back Goel, a science methodology graduate and doctorate student, stood as a teacher in front of a class of undergraduate students in an Indian university. In the next few years she planned to earn a doctorate, get a better teaching job and get married. Eight months into her career, marriage happened and 24-year-old Goel got ready to travel half way across the globe, to California, with her new husband-a software engineer. Read More
As a general rule, I tend to frequent Indian-owned threading salons because you can't beat the price or talent of the people who work there. When I moved to Foster City, I was so thrilled to find Shilpi's place on Yelp.
Shilp is super sweet and friendly. I've been going here for maybe about a year now. I'm pretty picky about what I like too, so Shilip always remembers what I like and a little about me. I've tried all sorts of places in the Peninsula, but I keep coming back here.
I have been getting my eyebrows done by Shilpi for quite some time now...around a year, I think. I go in every 2-3 weeks. I am very happy with how my eyebrows turn out and find the service to be a great value. It's not quite a 5-star experience, but I don't have any complaints of consequence.
First of all, Shilpi confirmed the LIE that Khoobsurat told and observed that something had "gone wrong" with my eyebrow recently. She further stated that it was NOT a scar (take THAT Khoobsurat byotches!). She said that an amateur would have made that mistake.

Sawtooth National Forest is a National Forest that covers 2,110,408 acres. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it was originally named the Sawtooth Forest Reserve in a proclamation issued by President Theodore Roosevelt on May 29, 1905. The forest is managed as four units: the SNRA and the Fairfield, Ketchum, and Minidoka Ranger Districts. Sawtooth National Forest offers facilities for recreation, with four ski areas, whitewater and flatwater boating, hunting, 81 campgrounds, and over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of trails and roads for hiking, mountain biking, and all-terrain vehicle use, including two National Recreation Trails.
This is a great astronomy location as it is part of the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, which is an IDA Dark Sky site. Sites such as the Smokey Bear Campground and Hell Roaring Lake are some examples of the pristine astronomy and Milky Way viewing. On nights of strong Aurora Borealis, this could be a great opportunity to view it with the amazing dark skies.
- How far outside of Boise? ~117 miles depending on the route taken. This makes the drive around 2 hours and 20 minutes depending on traffic and stops.

In the harbour
1. Flood
That flood at the Victoria General is turning into a huge mess, and both opposition parties are calling for the building to be replaced.
Eric Theriault took the above photo and commented:
Yesterday I was leaving the Victoria General Hospital when a "Code Green" was called. As my elevator door opened I saw water flowing from the shaft. I took the stairs seeing hospital staff going to the 5th floor; I took a peak see what was going on. I saw workers trying to contain a flood caused by a busted pipe. I just took a quick photo to document what I saw without disturbing the fine workers. The flood caused evacuation of lower floors and major problems for health care workers.
2. Bill Freedman
"Bill Freedman, a respected educator and author who championed Canadian conservation, has died," reports the Canadian Press. Freedman worked with the Nature Conservancy of Canada and was former chair of the biology department at Dalhousie:
Freedman authored more than 100 scientific papers, publications and science textbooks.
[…]"He taught us all to cherish our natural world," John Lounds, conservancy president and CEO, said in a statement. "We remember a generous, thoughtful man who leaves a conservation legacy right across this country that will be appreciated by generations to come."
3. Deranged person visits Halifax
We've got plenty of home-grown deranged people; I'm not sure why we need to import them, or why this is news.
4. McNabs
"Someone has done thousands of dollars worth of damage to interpretive panels at McNabs Island," reports the Chronicle Herald's Kelly Shiers:
[Cathy McCarthy, president of the Friends of McNabs Island Society] said the large interpretive map, along with five panels that tell the story of the Halifax Harbour island, were "gouged and scratched" likely in the past two weeks.
Another panel of the image of Midway King, Bill Lynch, one of the island's most notable residents, was drilled and had wall anchors put in it.
It will cost the cash-strapped Friends of McNabs Island about $20,000 to fix the damage.
5. International Right to Know Day
There will be a panel discussion at 6pm tonight at Halifax City Hall, with the following people:
Catherine Tully, Information and Privacy Commissioner, Nova Scotia
Steve Kent, Deputy Premier, Newfoundland and Labrador
Toby Mendel, Executive Director, Centre for Law and Democracy
Maria Lasheras, Chief Information Access and Privacy Officer, Nova Scotia
Sean Murray, Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, Newfoundland and Labrador
I'll be there.
1. Bernie Miller
Stephen Kimber untangles the Bernie Miller issue; Miller is the Deputy Minister of the provincial Office of Planning and Priorities:
[A]s a matter of public policy, we need to ask serious questions about McNeil's deal with Bernard F. Miller Services P.C., Inc., the company that provides the services of its sole employee — one Bernie Miller — to the government.
And beyond that, we should question Stephen McNeil's cavalier, condescending attitude to legitimate questions about Miller's contract. The major concern raised is that this type of employment arrangement may allow someone to pay less income tax.
2. Attachment to place
The CBC's "guest blogger" Hannah Main discusses her attempts to find a job in Nova Scotia. I don't now want to weigh in on the job issue (it's complicated), but I'm struck at how many young people have such a strong attachment to place in the Maritimes.
Understand I'm not passing judgment here, but when I was a kid, the very last thing I wanted to do was stay where I was. I grew up in a prosperous place with an economy buoyed by enormous — outrageous, even — military spending, and I could've stayed there and done well enough. But I wanted to get out into the world, explore, be challenged, learn new stuff, and so set to wandering for probably too long before settling down 3,000 miles from where I grew up. Even then, I was prepared to pack up and move again, when the opportunity arose.
I know a lot of academics, and it's just taken for granted among them that you've got to move, and often. Undergraduates are supposed to go elsewhere for grad school — you won't learn much new from the same set of instructors, and going somewhere else will broaden your horizons. Once you get that Masters or PhD, you have to go on the job market, and that means flying all over the continent, if not the world, applying for jobs or post-docs, but you'll still be on the job market until you hopefully land that tenure track position. None of that is possible, though, if you insist that Bible Hill must provide for you from high school through to PhDdom.
I don't mean this as a political statement. Nova Scotia can and should do better by its young people. And I don't for a minute think the experience of me or my friends should be a roadmap for anyone else's life.
But I just don't quite understand the obsession many young people have with staying here. It's a big, wide world out there, with lots of wonderful people, interesting cultures, beautiful places, and unexpected opportunities. Learning how to navigate the unknown and appreciate things outside your childhood world view can make one a better, wiser person.
Maybe you shouldn't be so quick to reject leaving.
3. Cranky letter of the day
To the Cumberland News:
An Amherst town councillor is rightfully frustrated at the ongoing lack of signage at the NS-NB border to inform travellers of local attractions in Amherst and Cumberland County. "This could be the difference between a tourist bypassing a destination or extending their stay," councillor Bird said.
Visitor exit surveys conducted by the tourism ministry reveal that there are two important "high yield" market segments of visitors from outside the province, who self-identified as "outdoor" enthusiasts and "cultural" enthusiasts
Of real interest to us in Cumberland County, is that these surveys reveal that over 80% of these well-heeled travellers listed "beach exploring" and "visiting museums" as their most popular activity while visiting Nova Scotia
Can you believe our luck? What do we have in spades in Cumberland County? How about endless beaches to explore and much admired large and small museums in Joggins, Parrsboro, Spencer's Island, Port Greville, and Springhill? But to repeat what councillor Bird has said "You drive by Amherst and what do you learn? Absolutely nothing."
How expensive can it be to install a new overhead truss to promote attractions in our area that is currently being whizzed by, by hundreds of thousands of visitors every year?
Wouldn't it be great to put up a sign that said "Looking to explore beaches and visit museums? Fill your boots in Cumberland County – Next right!"
Just kidding, but it's time to put together a couple of hotshots from the transportation and tourism ministries with a ministerial directive to rectify this situation in time for the next tourist season.
Alan Walter, Oxfor
District 7 & 8 Planning Advisory Committee (4pm, Halifax Central Library) —
Jae Hang Kim, the owner of the laundromat at the corner of South Street and Henry Street, wants to turn the place into a cafe. I don't know if that's a good idea or not, but the apartment above the laundromat is where police allege that William Sandeson killed Taylor Samson.
Community Facility Master Plan Information Session (6:30pm, George Dixon Centre) — details here.
Bird droppings
This morning, the city issued a tender offer asking for a "Remedy to Fix Bird Droppings at the Front of Keshen Goodman Library." I don't think they mean "fix" so much as "prevent." Regardless, this became a big deal in the spring, when it was discovered that the contractor was using the poison Avitrol. Reported the CBC:
Avitrol is described by its manufacturer as a flock deterrent. It's designed to look like corn kernels and left out for birds to eat.
Once it's consumed, Avitrol affects the birds' central nervous system and causes convulsions that can last more than four hours. The prolonged, uncontrolled flapping is meant to scare other birds away.
The company's website states there is no way to effectively use Avitrol without some birds dying from the product.
Hope Swinimer, founder of Hope for Wildlife, says she's seen a number of poisoned birds brought to her shelter.
"It looks like they are struggling, just like mini seizures," she said. "They look really confused and there's sometimes vomiting too."
The resulting public outcry resulted in the city banning Avitrol, reported the Chronicle Herald:
"We have decided not to use Avitrol going forward as there are other means by which we can mitigate the negative impact of bird feces at public facilities that are more consistent with our corporate values and environmental management best practices," municipal spokeswoman Tiffany Chase said in an email.
Halifax recently awarded a new three-year contract for pest management at a number of city facilities.
Chase said the municipality will be amending the tender to explicitly note that Avitrol is not to be used at city-owned facilities.
And yet, this morning's tender offer makes no mention, explicit or otherwise, of Avitrol. In fact, the "Specification Requirements" of the tender seem to anticipate the use of chemicals (see #5):
The front of the building at Keshen Goodman Library only for Bird Droppings solution.
1] Halifax Regional Library staff etc. are looking for a solution to fix or stop the bird dropping in front of the library. All the dropping are going on the windows and walkway and roof.
2] All areas need to be cleaned up by the contractor, in front of the building from bird droppings.
3] Job installation (labour) must have two-year warranty from completion date of the work at Keshen Goodman Library.
4] Contractor agrees to provide and honor (sic) ten (10)-year warranty on all material that are used to solve the bird dropping in front of the Keshen Goodman Library.
5] If contractor is suggesting using a chemical(s) etc. Contractor must supply a Material Safety Data Sheets for the chemicals proposing (sic) and return this information with HRM Quotation Q15M176.
6] All equipment & material will be supplied by contractor per their recommended solution remedy for bird dropping in the front of the Keshen Goodman Library..
7) Contractors can quote on different solutions, if quoting two (2) different solutions must submit two quotes on two separate HRM Quotation Forms Q15M176.
For what it's worth, the anti-roosting pigeon spikes employed at the Bridge Terminal seem to do a good job, except for at that one place they missed, on the overhang just by the stop for the #1. You'd think that after a year or so someone would've noticed the big pile of pigeon crap accumulating at that one spot and gone up and put a few more spikes up, but I guess no one in a position of authority takes the #1. Here's hoping they go to the Keshen Goodman Library.
Standing Committee on Assembly Matters (2pm, Province House) — the committee will stand and think about matters related to the Assembly.
On campus
Senate (4:15pm, Theatre A, Sir Charles Tupper Building ) — the Task Force on Misogyny, Sexism and Homophobia in the Faculty of Dentistry will be presenting. Agenda here.
Keith Lawson (5:30pm, Room 1020, Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building) — I don't know who Keith Lawson is, because you know, the Dalhousie Communications Department can't possibly publish a coherent event listing, but maybe Lawson is friends with the golf dude:
A new interest in space and place has encouraged museums and archives to find ways to use mobile devices to create connections between items in their collections and the locations associated with these items beyond the walls of their institutions, giving visitors a new access and opportunities to create new experiences. This paper brings together ideas from Michael de Certeau, tourism studies, game studies, and mobile interface theory to examine how digital objects texts (images, audio and video) presented through mobile devices create an experience of place. This experience may be of a single place or of multiple places joined in a larger narrative space.
Just for shits and giggles, let's all do a few shots and read that again:

I wanted to let you know that this session started out a little rough for the kiddos, both of whom had fallen asleep on their drive to the photo session after a busy, fun-filled holiday weekend. When they first arrived, they were groggy and apprehensive about being there and having their photos taken.
The only reason I point this out is that I want you to notice that you can't tell from the photos. Within about 10 minutes of when we started the portrait session, they both warmed up to me and we had tons of fun. I wanted to point that out because it can be something that stresses parents out, but always turns out fine. We had so much fun running and playing and enjoying the beautiful day.
I would love it if you could follow me on Instagram. That's a great place to keep up to date on future openings. Also, you can book a session directly from my online booking calendar, or contact me if you have questions.

Le paris Noir: Josephine Baker, from dancer to icon
Tuesday, November 23, 2021 at 10am PST
In English
Presented by the Alliance Française de Miami Metro
On November 30th 2021, Josephine Baker will enter the Pantheon monument. In this "Temple des grands hommes" (Temple of great men), she will take her place next to Voltaire, Victor Hugo, Aimé Césaire and Marie Curie. Through this event, we not only honor the Roaring Twenties and the Jazz movement, but also the civil rights movement and the Resistance to Nazi occupation. What is the significance of Josephine Baker entering the Pantheon as the first Black woman in today's France?
As he takes us along the streets of Paris from Rue Fontaine, the Folie Bergères to the Pantheon, Kévi Donat
invites us to trace the journey of this exceptional woman. Follow the guide!
About Kevi Donat
Born and raised in Martinique, Kévi Donat is behind Le Paris
a series of guided tours through the City of Light with a focus on Black culture.
Since 2013 he has been tracing the steps of icons such as James Baldwin, Frantz Fanon, Josephine Baker, and Cheikh Anta Diop. With a masters degree in political studies and inspired by the legacy of these great figures, Donat engages in conversations about identity and France's colonial past with both native Parisians and tourists. Donat also co-hosts Le Tchip, a podcast about how race and pop culture interact with one another. Since May 2021, Paris Noir collaborates with the Foundation for the remembrance of Slavery to create a series of podcast with a variety of experts.

Sugar Land Dulles defensive back Zoey Williams, one of the three highest rated high school prospects left in UTEP's 2011 recruiting class, has decommitted from UTEP in favor of the New Mexico Lobos. Williams visited with UNM last weekend and tonight word is out that he won't sign with UTEP tomorrow.
UTEP, of course, has already lost the commitments from stud QB/ATH Jonovan Griffin, Texas Top 100 prospect Brandon Durant, and wide receiver Lovett Gibson. The first two chose Big 12 programs, Oklahoma State and Missouri respectively, but Gibson chose C-USA West rival Rice over UTEP. Now, the Miners have lost a talented commit to lowly New Mexico. Yes, that New Mexico. The Lobos are just 2-22 during Mike Locksley's first two seasons at UNM.
This is horrible news for UTEP as Williams was the Miners highest ranked defensive back prospect and one of the 2-3 highest regarded members of the 2011 class. Williams was UTEP's only recruit from the Houston area to be named a "Houston Top 100" player by the Houston Chronicle. He had the following ratings from the national recruiting services:
- ESPN: 3*/ 76 rating, #52 CB Prospect
- Rivals: 3*/ 5.5 rating
- Scout: 3*/ #56 CB Prospect
Remember to check back tomorrow for Miner Rush's National Signing Day Open Thread.

Have you ever wondered how similar or different two countries are? The Country Similarity Index attempts to quantify how similar countries are to each other relative to other countries. The index is a statistically-based way to measure this. It weighs equally five major aspects of countries: their demographics, culture, politics, infrastructure, and geography. The methodology is exactly the same for each country. The research combines 1,000 different data points to arrive at the conclusions.
Top 10 Countries Most Similar to Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso is a country in the Tropical Africa region. The top five countries most similar to it were colonized by France and were once part of French West Africa. As a result, these countries all use French as their official language and use the West African CFA franc. Their people can even travel between these countries without visas. They are all part of the Economic Community of West African States as well.
- Benin also has a mix of Christians and Muslims. In addition, their governments are extremely similar. Both have relatively liberal abortion and alcohol laws. However, they do not share many similar ethnic groups, except for having around 10 percent Fula people. In addition, their diets are not similar either. People in Benin eat far more chicken and yams, in contrast to Burkina Faso, where beef, corn, and millet is more popular.
- Mali is another landlocked country that borders Burkina Faso. Both countries have a significant percentage of Fula people. Their governments are also similar. Although they are not especially democratic, they are also not dictatorships. They both have unicameral legislatures with many different parties represented. Mali and Burkina Faso also allow polygamy and unorganized prostitution. However, while both have a majority Muslim populations, Mali has a far lower percentage of Christians. Its landscape is also more devoid of vegetation than Burkina Faso's.
- Senegal's infrastructure is especially similar to Burkina Faso. Both countries are not well developed and rely on oil to create electricity. In addition, their climates are extremely similar, since both countries are on the border between the Sahel and Sub-Saharan Africa. Both countries are secular democracies after Burkina Faso's dictator was overthrown in 2014. However, while both have a majority Muslim population, Senegal has a far lower percentage of Christians.
- Ivory Coast is a located to the southwest of Burkina Faso. Both countries have a significant portion of its population that natively speak Dyula. They also have a diverse mix of Muslims, Catholics, and Protestants. In addition, their people tend to drink a lot of liqueur. However, Ivory Coast has a lower percentage of agricultural land and the crops they grow are completely different. Ivory Coast grows a lot of cocoa and cashews, while Burkina Faso grows more sorghum, millet, and cow peas. Another difference is that Ivory Coast uses mostly natural gas, not oil to create electricity.
- Togo is directly to the south of Burkina Faso, between Benin and Ghana. A high percentage of land in both countries is used for agriculture. They both grow corn, cotton, and sorghum. Both countries were dictatorships for several decades, although Burkina Faso's dictator was overthrown in 2014, and the country has become more democratic. One difference is religion, since far more people in Togo practice Voodoo, although it also has both Christians and Muslims as well.
- Guinea, 7. Niger, 8. Guinea-Bissau, 9. Chad, 10. Central African Republic
Top 10 Countries Least Similar to Burkina Faso
The four least similar countries to Burkina Faso are located in Asia and border the Pacific Ocean. Most of their people live in urbanized areas close to the coast, in contrast to Burkina Faso. These countries also get far more rainfall. The standard of living in all five of the least similar countries is very high. In addition, their infrastructure is well developed. With the exception of Singapore, these countries are also much more mountainous than Burkina Faso.
- Japan is by far the least similar country to Burkina Faso. Its geography is especially different, since it is a mountainous archipelago with a temperate climate and lots of rainfall. Its demographics and culture are also quite different. There really isn't much in common between the two, except that the average height and weight of their people are similar. Not only is Japan's infrastructure better developed, but in contrast to Burkina Faso, the country drives on the left, uses Type A, B electrical outlets, and 100v standard voltage.
- Taiwan, like Japan, is another East Asian country bordering the Pacific Ocean that has little in common with Burkina Faso. They do not share a common language, writing system, or religion. However Taiwan's average temperature is similar to Burkina Faso's, although it gets far much more rainfall. According to the Lewis Model, Taiwan's people are also far less outgoing than Burkina Faso's. Soccer is also more popular in Burkina Faso.
- Singapore is a small densely populated island located in Southeast Asia. While Burkina Faso has a high percentage of agricultural land, Singapore imports the vast majority of its food since it has few farms. It was once a colony of Britain, so it drives on the left and uses Type G electrical outlets, unlike Burkina Faso. It is also far wealthier. However, both countries have a significant amount of both Christians and Muslims, although Singapore is even more religiously diverse since it also has many Buddhists and Hindus.
- South Korea is another yet another East Asian country on this list. Although Burkina Faso and Taiwan have little in common culturally, South Korea does have a significant percentage of Christians, but the country is less religious. South Korea also has the highest percentage of college graduates in the world, in contrast to Burkina Faso. However, they do share some similarity in technology. They both use Type C electrical outlets and drive on the right. Burkina Faso's infrastructure is still far less well developed.
- Norway has a lot of coastline and is far more mountainous than Burkina Faso. In addition, its climate is also much colder. It is also far more wealthy and its infrastructure is more developed. However, unlike the top 4 countries, its time zone is only one hour ahead of Burkina Faso. Both countries primarily use the Latin script, although the native languages spoken in these countries are from different language families.
- New Zealand, 7. Canada , 8. United States, 9. United Kingdom, 10. Iceland
The Top 15 Attractions in Japan
Burkina Faso is like a mixture of Mali and Benin
Mali and Benin are the two most similar countries to Burkina Faso, but they have different traits which makes them like Burkina Faso. Mali is mostly Muslim, while Benin is mostly Christian. Burkina Faso a significant percentage of both groups. Mali's climate is drier than Burkina Faso's, while Benin's climate has more rainfall. Mali's diet is closer to Burkina Faso, since they both eat a lot of corn, sorghum, and millet. Benin's energy sources are closer to Burkina Faso, since they both are reliant on oil.

When John Francisco, a self-proclaimed bohemian, booked his spring break trip to Rome with his entourage of like-minded bros, he never thought that love, of all things, would be one of the main attractions. However, this isn't just his story and Rome was just the beginning...
Follow John, Blake, Charlie, Freddy, and Carlos, as each of these Bohemians embark on their own romantic adventure amidst the ever-expanding sphere of hook-up culture.
Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Carlos is a writer and social media marketer. He has written articles for Hulu, AMC Theatres, Phlearn Magazine, among other digital publications on subjects such as film, music, graphic design, and comic books.
Available at the following marketplaces plus all major bookstores:
Carlos sat down with Keith Richardson and Rodney Campbell from the More in Common Podcast, opening up about his book The Bohemians, the music and meaning behind Lonelez, and a whole lot more.
"We create labels to simplify how we see the world. It's an important part of how our brain works. However, those labels can, and often do, cheat us out of really getting to know someone. What you learn about Carlos in this episode though will change how you look at him as a musician. This conversation is a great example of how our assumptions can limit our ability to truly know what someone wants from life and who they are." - More in Common

Using Behavior Goals with Students
Join Our Community
Access this resource now. Get up to three resources every month for free.
Choose from thousands of articles, lessons, guides, videos, and printables.
When a student is being disruptive I continue with my conferring as usual and then move to work with this student. When I sit next to them I will take this time to have a "social conference" with them. In our room this consists of recognizing a problem together and then brainstorming ideas for a solution.
The most important part of this conference is that the student must take part in the brainstorming and must choose their behavior goal. I write this information in my conferring notebook, just as I would our regular conferring meeting. This keeps the plan in my notes, where I can refer to them daily. I am reminded when I open up my conferring notebook to look for evidence of this student working towards their goal and can praise them for their effort.

Complete the hotel booking form for Kind + Jugend 2022 with your corporate information.

"American diplomats need to do a better job learning about the history and culture of their host countries," said retired Foreign Service Officer John Dickson during a presentation in the Ralph J. Bunche Library Speaker Series, Feb. 15.
Dickson's discussion of his recent book, "History Shock: When History Collides with Foreign Relations," drew examples from his quarter century of diplomatic service in North America, South America, the Caribbean, and Africa. More than 140 Department of State personnel attended the event via WebEx. Chief Librarian Julie Arrighetti introduced Dickson and moderated the robust question and answer session.
Dickson unflinchingly described how his lack of historical literacy had, at times, been an impediment to his work. His recurrent question of, "Why didn't I know that?" led him to pursue a graduate degree in history and memory, and to writing his book. Dickson discussed the interaction between history and foreign relations and underscored the costs to American diplomats of not knowing the history of U.S. partners and adversaries. He described how "ignorance of history has often gotten in the way" of U.S. foreign relations.
Citing President Truman's 1947 visit to Mexico, Dickson argued that "something as simple as laying a wreath" can have a significant positive impact on improving international relations. Truman rescheduled his visit to Mexico out of respect for Mexican sensitivities about the 1948 centenary of the U.S.-Mexican War and he laid a wreath on the Mexico City memorial to the Niños Heroes, or Boy Heroes, of the U.S.-Mexican War. This gesture deeply impressed the Mexican people, improved bilateral relations, and influenced Mexico's 1948 decision to join the Organization of American States.
Dickson emphasized the importance of acknowledging past errors. He asserted that when a nation denies or disavows errors, including past atrocities, it fuels distrust and inhibits international reconciliation.
"You have to acknowledge what happened in the past to reduce threat perceptions," he stressed.
Dickson also argued that, in some circumstances, nations should seek to make amends for previous errors. He cited the U.S. government's public return of looted cultural artifacts to Peru as a noteworthy example of restoring trust through making amends.
Dickson concluded his presentation with an exhortation for thorough historical training for outgoing diplomats; he praised the Ralph J. Bunche Library's role in preparing reading lists for outgoing diplomats. He also offered several ideas for more focused diplomatic training, including Foreign Service Institute courses focused on specific countries, closer consultation with the Office of Historian, and the possibility of embedding historians in domestic offices.
To learn more about upcoming Speaker Series presentations, email the Bunche Library team and ask to be added to their mailing list.

Why Is Decay-Induced Tooth Breakage An Emergency?
If you are a sports enthusiast or if you enjoy rough-housing with your children, then you may be used to scrapes, cuts, and bruises. An occasional mouth injury may crop up as well. However, what happens when a tooth cracks and it is not directly connected to an injury? Is this really an emergency like a completely dislodged tooth? Well, if the crack is caused by decay, then this is a decay-induced break that may mean a trip to the emergency dentist.…Read More »

A review of nearly 40,000 job ads posted in the last five years shows how blatant sexism can be when it comes to hiring in China—even on the part of some of the country's most global tech titans.
The report from US-based nonprofit Human Rights Watch found that Chinese employers, from civil services to retail to tech, often stated that men were preferred for a job, listed required physical attributes for jobs open to women, or emphasized the looks of their female employees in ads clearly directed at men. In the tech sector, this was as true for the country's big three tech firms—search giant Baidu, online retailer Alibaba, and social media and gaming firm Tencent, together known as BAT—as well as some of its up-and-coming startups, such as delivery giant Meituan. While in some cases ads used code words to indicate a gender preference, such as the word "south" for men, since they sound similar, in many cases ads were perfectly open about their preferences.
For instance, in a video ad for Baidu, a young man says he gets to work with big names and, "We also get to work with beautiful girls. What do you think—am I happy?" And an ad from March 2017, the tech firm listed "male" as one of the requirements for an information reviewer position. A Baidu spokesperson told Quartz the postings were isolated instances that didn't reflect the company's "dedication to workplace equality," and that 45% of the firm's employees are women.
In 2013, Alibaba posted a recruitment ad (link in Chinese) right before International Women's Day that featured a series of photos of four female employees in sexually suggestive poses. "These are the goddesses in the hearts of Alibaba employees—smart and competent at work and charming and alluring in life. They are independent but not proud, sensitive but not melodramatic. They want to be your coworkers. Do you want that too?" reads the ad. The page is no longer accessible, although it was up until Friday (April 20).
In 2015, the online retailer retracted another job ad, which asked for candidates who resembled a Japanese porn star popular in China to apply after the ad incited criticism on social media. Alibaba didn't reply to Quartz's queries about its ads.
Meanwhile, a 2017 ad for a sports editor for Tencent's Beijing office, the firm listed "strong men who can handle night shifts" as one requirement. In a statement to Quartz, Tencent said it valued diverse backgrounds. "These incidents clearly do not reflect our values. We have investigated these incidents and are making immediate changes. We are sorry they occurred and we will take swift action to ensure they do not happen again," said the company.
Similar ads have also come from China's emerging tech leaders. An ad aimed at college students stated that "Find a job=Find a woman. Do what you want to do the most." In the ad, reportedly posted by food-delivery giant Meituan in 2012, the word "do" in Chinese can also imply sexual intercourse. The firm later denied that it (link in Chinese) had ever used the slogan. (Meituan is now known as Meituan Dianping after it merged with its rival in 2015.) A Meituan spokesperson said in a statement that "the advertisement in question was never officially approved by the firm and has not officially been posted by the company on any recruitment platforms."
A search on Boss Zhipin, a recruiting site, also showed some tech startups (link in Chinese) listing "man only" in their job ads—the latter was the case (link in Chinese) for China's ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing, which was looking for a network engineer. Didi removed the ad on Friday, citing a posting error by an employee. "The industry practice is to hire male candidates for certain positions requiring heavy physical labor," a spokesperson told Quartz, adding that Didi is committed to promoting gender inclusion, and that 40% of its employees are women. Boss Zhipin said in a statement that the firm examed job ads according to relevant laws and regulations, but didn't address directly why those ads get away with its censorship mechanism.
China doesn't lack for female tech entrepreneurs, but recruiters seem to believe the tech work schedule will be a challenge for women, especially those with young children, since they're still the primary caregivers in China. Research conducted in 2017 by Zhilian Zhaopin, one of China's major online recruiting sites, revealed that 22% of women (link in Chinese) had experienced severe sex discrimination while seeking employment, especially those aged between 25-34, the most likely period for women to start a family and have children.
The preference for men by companies in general persists even though the country has been trying to improve workplace rights for women, for instance by forbidding the firing of female employees (link in Chinese) because of pregnancy. But the women's labor force participation rate has been declining in the past decade, and the country has also steadily slipped down an index that ranks gender parity, now coming in at 100 (pdf, p.11) out of 144 countries.
Some activists and experts say the status of women in China is declining in part because the government has grown increasingly concerned about its aging population and the excess number of men, and is putting pressure on women to marry and have families. China eased its one-child policy in 2015 after three decades of strict controls because of these worries. According to a survey by job search website 51job.com (link in Chinese), 75% of companies said they have more concerns regarding recruiting female employees since the two-child policy came into effect.
Nor is the government setting a very good example itself—the HRW report also looked at civil service job ads and found that of central government ads posted in 2017, about 13% of them listed some kind of preference for men, often citing overtime or work travel for the reason. In 2018, nearly 20% of 3,000 civil service ads expressed these preferences.
Update: The piece has been updated with the responses from Meituan and Boss Zhipin on April 23.

Watching gymnasts perform can be an incredible sight to see, but not everyone lives near enough to a gym that teaches it or can afford to pay for gymnastics lessons. Even if you do live near a gym and can afford to take lessons there may be other reasons why you want to learn at least the basics of gymnastics at home.
It is entirely possible to learn gymnastics at home if you have the right equipment by using things like YouTube videos and blogs to see what you need to do. However, if you want to compete in gymnastics meets you will still have to start in level 1 of gymnastics training no matter how good you get at home.
That being said, if you already know what you are doing then you can technically pass level 1 with as little as one gymnastics lesson. So, if you decide later on that you want to participate in gymnastic competitions, this fact will be very little hindrance as long as you know what you are doing.
What Do You Need To Do In Order To Learn Gymnastics At Home?
Much of what you need will for learning gymnastics at home will depend on exactly how far you want to go with your home training. If you plan on learning all the skills of a level 10 gymnast in your home than you will naturally need a lot more equipment, time, and space than you will if you simply want to learn the skills of the first 2 or 3 levels of gymnastics.
The first thing that you can do without having to purchase anything at all is to work on learning a few of the more simple basics. Some of these are a handstand, a headstand, a cartwheel, a somersault, the splits, and a bridge position. These are the foundations of many of the more complicated parts and you should work on fully mastering them.
If you can already do these, that is great, but if not there is tons of free info on the web that can give you tips and pointers of how to get to the point where you can do these things. Set a specific amount of time every day to practicing and perfecting these even if you feel that you already have them mastered, because these will be good exercises to help you to build up muscles for some of the other skills in gymnastics.
Once you have those down, or are at least close to it and are ready for more, then you should probably start practicing backward rolls. If you feel up to it then you can start working on other things like scales, split jumps, coup walks, and round-offs. If in doubt, refer to videos and diagrams of what each of these should look like.
One of the best things to do is to when it comes to deciding what you want to work on next is to look at the different levels of gymnastics. When you are first starting out you should probably stick to the things that level 1 gymnastics learn and then move up to more complicated things as you see in the gymnastics levels.
If you do not have the space for a bar in your home, then you can easily skip that part if you do not care to learn it. Above all you should be aware that the more complicated maneuvers require quite a bit more space. This space should be free of any sharp corners or anything that might hurt you should you fall onto or bump into it.
If you don't have an empty room or a room that you can empty, at the very least you will want to attach pillows to any furniture edges. Give yourself a larger area than you think you will need since this does take more space than you might think.
Another key factor is to carefully watch lots of videos and to watch gymnastics competitions and note the scores that the gymnasts get. As you keep watching them, try to look for their mistakes. If you are new to this you might not be able to find any mistakes at all unless they are glaringly obvious, but try to keep looking as though you are one of the judges.
Doing this might seem pointless, but it is actually a great way to train your eyes to notice the details. This in turn will help you more easily pinpoint your own errors. To help you see what you are doing, you can video yourself and play back the video. By the time your eyes are trained you should be able to know exactly what you need to work on.
If you struggle with something and can't figure out what it is that you are doing wrong, it is time to go to the forums. Gymnastics forums are a great place to ask questions and, if you explain your problem, there is almost bound to be someone that can help you solve it or refer you to a video that will help you.
What Things Will You Need To Buy For Home Gymnastics?
The first of the things that you will need are something to wear and something for your hair if it is even moderately long. You will at least want to keep your hair pulled back so that you do not accidently end up "stepping" on it with your hand when you are working on your handstand or anything like that. Nor do you want it to fall into your face while you are training.
While you do not have to wear a leotard if you do not want to do so, you should wear clothing that is not baggy, can handle you being upside down at times, and will be comfortable to train in. For gymnastics classes at a gym they usually insist on no buttons, zippers, or anything that might catch on something, so it is a good idea to do this at home as well.
While the clothing is more of an option when training at home, it is something that you should consider investing in if you do not already have something that meets these qualifications. This is because changing clothes to train, while it might take a few minutes of your time, can really help you get into the right mindset to work hard.
Next, the first piece of gymnastics equipment that you should get should be your mat. There are plenty of gymnastics maneuvers that you can learn to do with just a mat and it can make things like somersaults a whole lot more comfortable to practice than doing them on a hard floor would be.
You want to make sure, however, that there are no sharp edges near your mat. Having a table corner poking out near where you are practicing can make your mat useless if you hit that first on the way down.
Once you have that and have been practicing at it a while, you have two options for the next gymnastics apparatus: the beam and the bar. If you are going far in your training at home you will want to get both of these if you have the space to do so.
At this point you will also start needing other things too. While you can do the beam barefoot, there are specific gymnastics shoes that you may want to get. For the bar you will definitely need at least some gymnastics chalk if not grips and tape as well. At some point you will likely also want to invest in a couple of good icepacks for sore muscles.
Finally, an important part of gymnastics is watching what you eat. Working out and using your muscles takes energy. You also need the right vitamins and minerals to not only build up your muscles but to repair them when you pull or sprain them. You should always try to eat healthy, but any form of training needs this even more.
