Content: The fastest speed back then was less than 3kbps and the modem was a dial-up phone line. If you wanted to watch a movie at home you’d go to the nearest Blockbuster store and rent a DVD. In the store, you’d get a vast selection to choose from the old black and white classics like ‘Casablanca’ or the three-hour-long ‘Gone With the Wind’ to the latest ‘Star Wars’ prequel movies such as ‘Attack of the Clones.’ They also had a popcorn store so you didn’t have to go to the convenience store to buy it. All your viewing and snacking needs were in one store. Blockbuster then was the biggest video rental company. They were also extremely popular: It had 84,300 people employed worldwide, that’s about 58,500 in the United States and about 25,800 in other countries. It had 9,094 stores in total, with more than 4,500 of these in the US. Its net income was US$268 million in 2010, with revenue at US$3.24 billion.

Content: Blockbuster was obsessed with the new releases. They knew more people would rent the new movies because generally, it wouldn’t be available to buy in-store for a further 28 days. The customers had the option to rent, wait or buy the movie on DVD before the general release which costs around $70-$100 per title. This is substantially pricier than the suggested retail price. The original strategy required a huge CAPEX budget. Its main strategy was to open as many stores it could all over the country. That way it could gain a huge chunk of the market. This strategy did work for a period of time, but it also incurred huge operating costs. More stores meant more rental spaces and more people to hire. Also, it proved to be harder to keep track of revenues on each and every store.

This strategy did work for a period of time, but it also incurred huge operating costs. More stores meant more rental spaces and more people to hire. Also, it proved to be harder to keep track of revenues on each and every store. So Blockbuster introduced another plan, which was to acquire more new movie releases and regulate the old ones to the back of the store. That limited shelf space for the old titles; and the new titles were of limited supply. Losing Credibility – One Reason Why Blockbuster Went Out of Business
The mistake with this last business decision was that Blockbuster underestimated how much people wanted the old titles. It also frustrated people that the new titles were not readily available and they’d often leave without getting the titles they wanted.

The mistake with this last business decision was that Blockbuster underestimated how much people wanted the old titles. It also frustrated people that the new titles were not readily available and they’d often leave without getting the titles they wanted. This lead to high levels of customer dissatisfaction. Customers routinely waited in line for new movie titles. Only to find they’d have to wait for another customer to return the DVD. In essence, it lost its credibility and customers. This is why Blockbuster went out of business.

In essence, it lost its credibility and customers. This is why Blockbuster went out of business. Customers were willing to pay for old and new movies but were unable to spend their money on movies they wanted to see. Another reason why Blockbuster went out of business was its obsession with late fees. Late fees accounted for more than 15% of Blockbuster’s revenue during the retailer’s heyday. When a customer returned a DVD late, they were hit with a substantial late fee. A standard late fee is $1-per-day that will be added for every movie title if it is late, for up to 10 days.

Content: And in Australia, it’s AUD$2.99 for new releases and AUD $1.99 for older films for the same title. And the convenience of delivering or streaming at home – all the movie titles they wanted – made a very attractive offer. In the end, to stay competitive, Blockbuster lowered its prices. It was losing customers to Netflix. Today, pricing and merchandising are as complicated as they’ve ever been. Pricing online requires businesses to manage dynamic pricing systems to keep up with competitors instantly. And yet, because of budget constraints and old habits, Blockbuster executives were stuck with outdated strategies that only had a temporary life span. Zero margin gain. Blockbuster’s pricing and product strategy
In reality, Blockbuster thought customers wanted to walk into a store to pick up a movie and snacks. It turned out that what customers really wanted was to watch movies and eat snacks without having to leave their houses to rent the film.

Understanding Exclusionary Zoning and Its Impact on Concentrated Poverty
June 23, 2016
Elliott Anne Rigsby
Contributor
The United States has a self-inflicted, widespread problem: concentrated poverty. Neighborhoods with concentrated poverty— defined as census tracts where the federal poverty rate is 40 percent or more —lack resources to provide quality schools, job opportunities, safe streets, and access to quality healthcare. Nation’s Capital Broken down by Concentration of Wealth. Map by Urban Institute. Click the link to view an interactive map of the entire United States. Research shows that this concentrated poverty is on the rise. Since the 1990s, trends reducing the proportion of poor families living in neighborhoods with concentrated poverty have reversed, and experts blame public policy as the source. Exclusionary zoning is an oft-mentioned policy that keeps affordable housing out of neighborhoods through land use and building code requirements. It’s a legal practice that has been used for decades to keep lower-income people—disproportionately racial minorities—out of wealthy and middle-class neighborhoods across the country.

Since the 1990s, trends reducing the proportion of poor families living in neighborhoods with concentrated poverty have reversed, and experts blame public policy as the source. Exclusionary zoning is an oft-mentioned policy that keeps affordable housing out of neighborhoods through land use and building code requirements. It’s a legal practice that has been used for decades to keep lower-income people—disproportionately racial minorities—out of wealthy and middle-class neighborhoods across the country. It can have a damaging effect in that it prevents these low-income families from having access to the education and employment opportunities typically found in wealthier neighborhoods. Sign up for updates. Where Did Exclusionary Zoning Come From? Exclusionary zoning has existed in varying forms since the early decades of the twentieth century, when it was a vehicle for outright racial discrimination. Prior to the Supreme Court’s Buchanan v. Warley decision in 1917, city zoning ordinances across the country legally forbade minorities from occupying blocks where the majority of residents were white.

Content: While not as overt, contemporary exclusionary zoning contributes to the same patterns of segregation as pre- Buchanan v. Warley policies. Because racial minorities are much more likely to have lower incomes, class-based discrimination tends to have a disparate impact on them, paralleling the racial discrimination of the past. In other words, the class-based discrimination embodied in today’s exclusionary zoning is, in its outcome, de facto racial discrimination. What Does Exclusionary Zoning Look Like? Traditionally, exclusionary zoning policies have kept poor, central city residents out of suburbs with minimum lot size requirements, single residence per lot requirements, minimum square footage requirements, and costly building codes. Together, these requirements make it difficult to build multi-family rental units that would allow lower-income residents to live in wealthy suburban developments with access to quality schools and employment. In addition, large lot size requirements reduce the supply of available land, drive up housing costs, and further keep out low-income families. Recently, use of exclusionary zoning has expanded into the urban core as wealthy and largely white families move back into cities. Within cities, policies like building height limits and school district lines increase property values and force low-income families into areas of concentrated poverty. Still, the effects of urban exclusionary zoning pale in comparison to the massive movement to the suburbs since the ’70s.

Exclusionary zoning promotes income segregation by creating areas of concentrated poverty and concentrated wealth. As Century Foundation fellow Paul Jargowsky explains in his report “ Architecture of Segregation ,” the prevalence of concentrated poverty has increased since the turn of the century, and its effects are detrimental. In 2000, 10.3 percent of the poor lived in high-poverty neighborhoods. By 2013, this proportion increased to 14.4 percent.

In 2000, about 7.2 million Americans lived in high-poverty neighborhoods. By 2013, that number had nearly doubled to 13.8 million. One-in-four black Americans and one-in-six Hispanic-Americans living in poverty reside in high-poverty neighborhoods. These changes have disproportionately impacted minorities.

By preventing families from moving into areas of opportunity, exclusionary zoning perpetuates the cycle of poverty. What Are Perceived Justifications for Exclusionary Zoning? Proponents of exclusionary zoning cite declining property values as the primary reason to keep low-income people out of their neighborhoods. The research around property values is murky. On the one hand, research shows that land-use diversity actually increases property values. On the other hand, the same research shows that racial diversity tends to decrease them. Still, evidence about the impact of racial diversity on property values often reveals that these findings have been fueled by underlying and outdated fears.

Still, evidence about the impact of racial diversity on property values often reveals that these findings have been fueled by underlying and outdated fears. For decades, the Federal Housing Administration and National Association of Real Estate Boards included provisions in their code of ethics and underwriting manuals that explicitly described racial minorities as “ detrimental to property values in that neighborhood .” Unfortunately, if white sellers, renters, lenders, and buyers perceive minority status as detrimental to property values—as they have been conditioned—they will be less willing to pay to live in racially diverse neighborhoods, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of segregation. What Has Been Done To Stop Exclusionary Zoning? Fair housing advocates have long recognized that exclusionary zoning perpetuates patterns of racial and income-based segregation. In 1969, just one year after the Fair Housing Act was passed, then U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development George Romney attempted to outlaw exclusionary zoning with the Open Communities initiative.

Gender Transformation
What is it? © 2017 Arturo Sanabria, Courtesy of Photoshare
“ Gender transformation ” refers to efforts to change gender and social norms to address inequalities in power and privilege between persons of different genders, in order to free all people from harmful and destructive norms. These norms include gender roles, expectations, stereotypes, and harmful attitudes, customs, and practices, including gender-based violence (MenEngage Alliance, 2017). Gender transformation enables individuals to question and critically analyze issues of gender inequality and injustice, and provides them with opportunities to challenge harmful norms. What Are the Benefits? Gender equitable communities ensure that all adolescents and young people have better sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes: Gender norms are established early in life and have several negative consequences (Blum et al., 2017). For girls these include child marriage, early pregnancy, dropping out of school, exposure to STIs including HIV, and vulnerability to gender-based violence. For boys these include engaging in or being affected by violence, accidents and injuries, and substance use.

Content: Better yet, teachers, too, are positively affected when parents take interest. That’s because involved parents promote positive classroom behavior, make sure children do their homework, help them be more organized, enforce disciplinary measures, and validate their effort. For teachers, involving parents boosts positive self-perception and job satisfaction. The challenge is to help them understand how they can help their child succeed. Here are three strategies to involve parents in children’s education. Positive Study Environments
Help parents find a balance that works for their child. Provide information and ideas about how to best assist with homework and other curriculum-related activities. Encourage reading at home by creating a custom reading list based on the child’s personality, interests, and level. Set up clear homework policies. Detail how parents should be involved and revise them on a case-by-case basis depending on the student’s progress.

Content: Ask parents to stick to a study routine and set up a homework-friendly area where distractions are kept to a minimum. That means enforcing a no-TV, computer, or phone environment. Suggest enrichment activities. This will help parents build constructive relationships with their child as well. Some good ideas include fun

, DYI activities, family trips to the library, age-appropriate museum exhibitions, and theatrical plays. Early & Frequent Communication
As teachers, we’re often wrongly seen as the nameless beings that unfairly grade children’s papers. Yet, above all, we’re parents’ partners in education. It’s critical to build a bridge and maintain an open door policy so parents can understand what you’re trying to achieve. Only then will they be able to complement your efforts outside the classroom. A good way to do this is to communicate about school programs and child's progress on an ongoing basis.

Content: Ask families to participate in bake sales, lemonade stands, or car washes to raise funds for school supplies. It’ll provide an opportunity for them to spend time with you, ask questions, and see you in your element. Another good idea is to invite parents to talk about their careers and skills. This will enable them to connect with their child’s classmates and to become an active participant in the classroom. Include them in decision-making. Empower parents by creating a parent-teacher group. This will promote open communication and understanding between parents and school staff. Ask the group for their feedback about classroom activities, school programs, field trips, and events. Get to know them better. Organize parents-teacher workshops where you can discuss homework, tests, and study skills.

Content: School administrators and government officials have an impact at the legislative level, but it is teachers who directly affect students in the classroom—that is, after all, where learning takes place. You won’t be able to improve the quality of education for every student in America, but you will be able to for your students. The importance of being a teacher cannot be overstated. Helping just one student can make the job worth it, but over a long and productive career, you have the chance to help thousands of students. Essentially, becoming a teacher lets you take part in shaping the next generation. 2. To Give Back to Your Community
One of the reasons for becoming a teacher is to contribute to your community in a meaningful way. Teaching is one of the most direct ways to make an impact, and if you are driven by the desire to help those around you, being a teacher is an invaluable contribution. Perhaps you grew up in a high-needs area and are personally connected to the struggle of students who come from low-income neighborhoods and go to schools with little funding; this sort of perspective allows you to recognize how much of a difference a devoted teacher can make.

Teachers do more than teach, and their impact extends far beyond the classroom. As a teacher, you are more than just an educator–you are a mentor, a confidant and a friend.

Content: I make a difference.” Teachers have the potential to interact with students at all stages of development and from all walks of life. A great teacher wants to help students along this path and to play a part in shaping the person they will ultimately become. If you want to help a child struggling with low self-esteem and problems at home, then become a teacher to encourage them and help them realize their potential. Becoming a teacher lets you impart life lessons they will never forget and puts you in a position to influence their decisions, behaviors, strengths, weaknesses and imagination. Becoming a teacher lets you take part in shaping the next generation. Reasons Why Someone Might Fall Out of Love with Teaching
The ATL survey also revealed some of the reasons why teachers leave the profession, despite their commitment to students and communities. Teacher burnout is a frequent reason: three-quarters of respondents cited heavy workloads as the reason they are considering leaving the job. Respondents said they wanted more time to plan lessons, a better work-life balance and proper mentorship from experienced teachers to help keep them in schools.

Content: By forging strong relationships, educators are able to affect virtually every aspect of their students’ lives, teaching them the important life lessons that will help them succeed beyond term papers and standardized tests. It is not always easy to change a student’s life, which is why it takes a great teacher to do so. Some just need an extra push like the student whose math grade is just a few points shy from the A that will give them a 4.0 GPA; others may be going through something troubling in their personal lives and need someone to talk to. Whatever the student needs to help them excel, a life-changing teacher will be there for them. While you will spend your entire career learning the different ways you can change your students’ lives, here are three aspects that are directly affected by great teachers: 1. Education
A great teacher makes learning fun, as stimulating, engaging lessons are pivotal to a student’s academic success. Some students who are more prone to misbehavior, truancy or disengagement are more dependent on an engaging teacher. Making your classroom an exciting environment for learning will hold the students’ fascination, and students learn best when they are both challenged and interested.

Have you ever had a teacher who inspired you to work harder or pursue a particular goal? Were you inspired to become an educator by one of your own great teachers? Inspiring students is integral to ensuring their success and encouraging them to fulfil their potential. Students who are inspired by their teachers can accomplish amazing things, and that motivation almost always stays with them. Inspiration can also take many forms, from helping a pupil through the academic year and their short-term goals, to guiding them towards their future career. Years after graduation, many working professionals will still cite a particular teacher as the one who fostered their love of what they currently do and attribute their accomplishments to that educator. 3.

Teachers can also be a trusted source of advice for students weighing important life decisions. Educators can help their pupils pursue higher education, explore career opportunities and compete in events they might otherwise have not thought themselves able to. Students often look to their teachers as mentors with experience and knowledge, and, as an educator, you will almost definitely be asked for advice at some point during your career. Did you know that one in four students drops out of school or that every nine seconds, another student drops out? Dropping out is a decision that students won’t likely come to you about, but an adept teacher can notice the indications that a student is struggling and intervene before it’s too late. Aside from educating them on the hard facts about dropping out, teachers can also help assess the problem and figure out an alternative.

Teachers Care
You may decide to become a teacher because you care about education and the students you’ll be working with. You know the lasting impact a great teacher can have on a student perhaps having even experienced it yourself and you want to make a positive impact on someone else. You want to be a role model. To commit yourself to teaching means you care about education, but once you actually become a teacher, that vague concept becomes more defined: It becomes real, specific and tangible. Once you become a teacher, you care, not just about education, but about your students’ education. Great teachers care about their students. They want them to succeed and are committed to helping them achieve their goals. Moreover, teachers care about their students’ happiness, well-being and life beyond the classroom.

Investing yourself in your students creates a positive atmosphere in the classroom that can enhance your relationship with students and makes them feel important. A student is far more likely to respond to a teacher who cares, and is therefore more likely to learn and engage. Connecting with your students establishes trust, which is important to the students’ learning because it makes them comfortable enough to participate, ask for help when needed, and pay closer attention to advice and encouragement. Also, students feel better about themselves if they feel that a teacher has taken a genuine interest in them; they are motivated, and stronger self-assurance can make it easier for the student to challenge themselves academically.

A great teacher does not make it a secret that they care. Go the extra mile. Motivating students by encouraging them, rewarding them and getting them involved shows your students that their teacher is vested in their education. Do the best job you can to teach your students and they will notice.

Content: When Are Faith and Religion Allowed in Public Schools? | Teach 4 the Heart
When Are Faith and Religion Allowed in Public Schools? I struggle sometimes with how to help my public school students without being able to talk to them about my faith. I know a relationship with God would help so many of them. I just try to be the best example I can and hope that is enough. This is the cry of so many Christian teachers’ hearts – an understanding that our students need Christ but the realization that we cannot openly share with them the truths that could change their lives. But what if I were to tell you that religious discussions are not quite as taboo as you might think. That, in fact, it is legal to teach about religion in the public school as long as you do it in an academic matter and don’t try to convert your students. And that those legal, academic conversations may open doors for God to work in students’ lives in ways we never imagined. ( We talk more about how small conversations can impact students for eternity in this post here .)

What Does the Constitution Say? Note: We already talked extensively about the Constitution and whether or not religion should be allowed in public schools in the article Why Religion DOES Belong in Public Schools: 2 Objections Exposed. If the thought of religion in the public schools just sounds wrong to you, start with that article then pop back here. We’ll wait
The First Amendment states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The focus is on the phrase “establishment of religion.” We discussed in detail last week in this article that this phrase was never intended to keep religion out of the government but was instead intended to keep the government out of religion. But, none the less, the court ruling in the ‘60’s changed how this phrase is applied now in the public school system. So let’s translate this into what it means now in your classroom. According to current interpretation, you as a public school teacher are an agent of the government and are not allowed to establish a religion.

You may not try to convert a student to your religious views or teach that your beliefs are the only correct ones.

How to Legally Share Your Faith in the Public School
Live out your faith in your daily life. You are absolutely permitted to live out the tenants of faith in your daily interactions. For example, to follow Jesus’ command to “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers” (Eph 4:29) is not only permitted but is a wonderful testimony. So love your students, be patient with them, and treat them with the utmost respect as those who are created in the image of God.

What you may not do is to then follow it up with “and you must believe that too.” Trying to convert a student would be considered establishing a religion.

You are absolutely allowed to pray privately for your students, and don’t underestimate this for a second. Prayer is not this last-ditch attempt we make when we have nothing left to try (i.e. “All we can do is pray.”) No, it is direct intercession to the very throne room of the Almighty God who controls everything.

You may be surprised to discover that you, as a public school teacher, are allowed to teach about religion, about religious holidays, and even about the Bible. You just can’t preach or do anything that would establish a religion. Thousands of public high schools teach a Bible course – viewing the Bible as literature or as a study on how the Bible has impacted culture, art, or music.

And if a student wants to mention that in their house they believe & practice the Bible, that is their right to speak openly, and you haven’t established a religion at all. All you’ve done is provided a safe place for students to discuss their own views in a respectful way. Almost every subject brings opportunity to discuss religion or the Bible in an academic way.

So don’t shy away from these opportunities, thinking for some reason that they’re not allowed. They are wonderful opportunities to enrich your students’ education and to bring up important topics of faith and religion in a right and legal way. ( And remember, if students as a result of these conversations ask you what you think, you are allowed to answer them openly – as long as you don’t try to convert them.) This list is extremely helpful in understanding how you can properly teach religion in your public school classroom (taken from A Teachers’ Guide to Religion in the Public School )
The school’s approach to religion is academic, not devotional.

About The Author
Content: Please do me a favor for I will be talking from the realms of my experiences as a teacher. 2. Mentor And Nurture Students
Teachers are considered second parents. Many believe that teachers are primarily to educate students by giving out knowledge and by teaching good behavior and morals. Nevertheless, teachers go beyond that role. They are willing to go the extra mile just to reach out to their students altruistically. They show love and concern for they act as the second parents to the children. When something went wrong, they essentially teach children what is right and wrong. More so, teachers treat their students like their own. So as second parents, teachers are ultimately concerned with shaping the lives of the students under their care.

Reaching out to them means asking them how they feel, what burdens them, and what makes them sad or happy. Talking to my students will give me the best chance of understanding their essences. It’s my way of connecting. I am certain that mentoring is not only about teaching them concepts but it goes beyond that.

About The Author
Content: It can be about caring about them and it’s never a short-lived interest. For example, if a student is absent in class for several days, a concerned teacher will tend to be worried about that student’s whereabouts. As a result, the teacher is not contented with sending letters to parents but will initiate a home visitation no matter how far or how risky the way is. Finding out the reasons why a student is absent makes the teacher understand what a student is going through. The teacher will understand the student’s problems and issues. Undeniably, students have their own problems and difficulties. Some of them are from a broken family or some are from a deprived family. Knowing about these will help a teacher understand why a student is acting differently. When the student feels the teacher’s concern, he is confident that someone is willing to listen. The student will feel that there’s somebody whom he can trust and that is, his teacher.

This is expected because parents love their children. These children are greatly inspired to strive more with their studies because they have responsible and loving parents. On the contrary, not all children are in the same condition. Some of them are victims of abuse and maltreatment. A concerned teacher will get to know about the real condition or situation of the child.

Content: Increase student investment, motivation, and performance
When you invite students to actively participate in the learning environment, they take more responsibility for their performance in the course. Similarly, when they have an opportunity to make decisions about what they learn and how they use that knowledge, students see a course as more valuable and more directly related to their goals. For example: Brainstorm learning objectives – if you involve students in the development of classroom activities, e.g., allow them to choose the topic of a short discussion or generate ideas about how a concept could be applied to a problem that interests them, it automatically increases engagement levels. Involving students in classroom activities also requires them to assess their understanding and skill and rather than allowing them to rest comfortably with a surface knowledge, it forces them to develop a deeper understanding of the material. VPTL has a wide array of resources available for you to use in your classes here in Teaching Commons and an extensive collection of books, articles, and handouts on active learning strategies available for checkout from the VPTL Office. In addition, VPTL offers workshops and events throughout the year on using active learning effectively in different class settings. Incorporate active learning into your curriculum and transform your classroom into an exciting, dynamic learning environment. References

Content: Talking with the student privately can also help. Reasons for being silent vary. A student may simply enjoy listening. Another may lack the confidence to contribute. Some students have quiet personalities; others may be undergoing personal difficulties that inhibit their participation. Some may be unprepared and embarrassed to admit it. Others may come from an educational background that discouraged active participation. Even after you gently encourage them to speak, they may remain silent. This is their right, and ultimately you must respect their privacy.

Content: Again, start with small amounts of time and build up to longer periods. There are information and practice tests available at the fsaassessments.org. I recommend parents look at the sample tests for their information, but don’t give them to the students. Most teachers will use that as a practice test in class. Please focus on students giving their best effort during testing – not acing the test. The goal of these tests is to see where students are in mastering this skill. If they don’t do well, then they need more practice and support. If students feel a lot of pressure to be perfect on the state test, they may actually do worse because of anxiety and nerves. Remember, teachers and parents both want students to succeed. Parents can help their students in many ways, but the best way is to work on reading and writing stamina.

Content: even as the online medium precludes certain forms of in-person contact, it creates opportunities for new ways to interact. Well-planned, intentional uses of online technologies can encourage and facilitate even more “lean forward” behaviors and more interaction with and among students. For example, as described below, you can increase learner engagement by: Identifying learners' questions about the material
Using polls and other interactive technologies to get a sense of students' experience, comprehension, and reactions ("reading the room")
Inviting specific students' answers (cold calling)
Opening the floor to general discussion of particular questions
Having students engage in small "buzz group" conversations via breakout rooms
Creating opportunities for synchronous or asynchronous student collaboration via tools like Google Docs, Miro, etc. Focus on your pedagogy, not the medium: the principles of pedagogy that are effective for online teaching – video, simulation, text, etc. – are similar to those that are effective in the residential classroom. They allow students to engage with material dynamically and across multiple learning styles. These principles apply not only to synchronous teaching but also, importantly, to asynchronous content creation. Asynchronous-Synchronous Mix
Based on your own pedagogy and teaching style, you can be flexible in choosing the right mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning.

3 Steps to Ensure Fairness in the Workplace
1. Opportunity Fairness

3. Open Feedback

3 Steps to Ensure Fairness in the Workplace
Justice in the workplace is just as important as it is anywhere else. A situation in which employees feel that they are not being treated fairly will result in lower productivity, lack of motivation, and negative relationships, which can lead to unethical behaviour or destructive practices. An office without justice will have employees looking around for better employment options, and will at best lead to an uninspired team. In order ensure fairness, show that there is equal access to opportunity, clear processes and open communication, and a feedback system which facilitates constructive conversations. 1. Opportunity Fairness
Equality of distribution refers to the rewards that managers give out. Whether it is a monetary reward, a promotion, or a desirable assignment, fairness of distribution is crucial. Thus, managers should create environments in which equal opportunities, not equal rewards, are given. In other words, employees should feel that they have a fair chance to earn a reward if they work hard enough for it. In addition to rewards, managers should be sure to distribute tasks, attention, and feedback fairly.

Why Internet Censorship is Bad for Everyone
The internet—the world’s final frontier for free thinkers and pictures of cats. These days just about everyone uses it, from grandma to six-year-old little Timmy. We may have different reasons for logging in, but everyone has something to gain from the endless trove of information and ideas that sits before our computer, phone, or tablet. But not everyone thinks that information should universally be available. First World Problems
It’s well known that oppressive governments seek to limit access to the internet, censoring political dissidence and restricting content to that which best supports the powers that be. But increasingly, even less tyrannical governments have begun placing restrictions on what users can and can’t see. ISPs hoping to save money in the US have campaigned in an attempt to setup internet fast lanes to charge heavy traffic websites extra money to maintain their speed (such as Netflix). Even Australia, a first-world nation by any standard, has recently passed legislation to start outright blocking web domains deemed guilty of supporting pirated content. It will require ISPs to block these websites on a national level, limiting what Australians have access to; unless of course they use a VPN (virtual private network), which allows the user to connect to the net via other countries.

Access for All
Content: If you’re stuck behind the censor in Australia, I suggest looking into VPNs that are suitable for keeping your access clean. But some would argue these measures of censorship are good; aren’t there things we don’t want to see on the internet? Is a certain measure of control a benefit to society? On its face, it might seem so, but censorship actually hurts everyone (including the censors). Slowing Progress
It should come as no surprise to learn that censorship typically targets new ideas rather than old ones. Some new ideas are so controversial and challenge the system to such an extreme degree that it may be argued that these ideas are heretical. But let us not forget how ideas once thought to be the product of insanity are now regular practice. Doctors should wash their hands, right? Unfortunately for many unnecessarily lost patients, this wasn’t always the case.

But let us not forget how ideas once thought to be the product of insanity are now regular practice. Doctors should wash their hands, right? Unfortunately for many unnecessarily lost patients, this wasn’t always the case. A man by the name of Ignaz Semmelweis first championed the idea that doctors washing their hands and instruments could reduce the rate of death in hospitals. He was right, as we know today, but to his contemporaries he was a nut. He was ostracized from his position as a doctor and eventually died in a mental hospital. But his story is important when it comes to sharing ideas on the internet. Unlike in Semmelweis’s time, ideas can be shared much more immediately, so long as they aren’t blocked by censorship.

Galileo was one of the first figures to champion the idea of a heliocentric solar system, but he ended up under house arrest for the remainder of his days. What these people lacked was all the same, and something the internet does best, but it is also threatened. Anonymity
The same people who want to censor the net are also interested in keeping everyone on the radar. Blocking access to websites inherently requires that service providers know who is issuing the request for that website.

Unfortunately that makes users much more vulnerable, as hackers are also privy to that sort of information. Luckily this can be avoided with a good VPN, but be warned that not all VPNs are created equal. Losing anonymity via censorship means ideas are less likely to be shared. When people fear criticism or retribution for sharing their thoughts, they’re less likely to put them out there. It’s exactly why Twitter has become so astoundingly popular.

If you’re wondering if the news sites you normally use are legitimate, one of the best ways is to check the sources. Read through some past articles and look for where they claim their information comes from. If you can’t find any, then you’re not working with a legitimate site. If the sources seem unreliable, or continuously ambiguous, then the articles are probably not factual. Sources are always the most important things to look for.

If you’re looking for a news source reporting on a recent event, the way you search can really affect the results you receive. Searching for generic topics without a bias in your question helps you avoid argumentative results. Here’s an example:

Method 4: Distrust social media and user-generated information
Major hints that a news source is biased
Top unbiased news sites
Content: Method 3: Use Wikipedia and other collaborative sites
Collaborative sites decrease the likelihood that the information presented can be untruthful or biased. The idea behind a collaborative site like Wikipedia is that the information comes from multiple people and sources, and must be cited with the proven facts. This means that if a claim like “Russian hacking interfered with the 2016 U.S. election” is stated, it is accompanied by a legitimate source, which according to Wikipedia, would be the conclusions of the 2017 investigations of the United States Intelligence Community. However, speculation and outlandish claims that can’t be supported with evidence would not be included within the informational page. Another great example of collaboration would be when news sites re-post or re-write stories featured earlier on other credible news sites, which is a common practice. These articles site another credible news website as their source, and generally link back to the original article so you can get your information from the news outlet that made the report first. Generally, as time goes on, a news site that re-posts a story will have additional information to add to the report, so this collaboration can help bring you a more well-rounded description of events. Method 4: Distrust social media and user-generated information
In general, it’s always wise to stay away from social news, or social media-generated news outlets.

In general, it’s always wise to stay away from social news, or social media-generated news outlets. The intention behind these is always to increase online presence by getting as many shares as possible in a short amount of time, which also increased their revenue, as ads are usually present on the article page. In addition, some “news” websites allow user-generated information and reporting, which means literally anyone using the site can contribute as a source. These sites have little to no legitimacy, as they do not contain information from reliable sources, nor do they have professional journalists writing the articles. Instead, people with social marketing skills are put in charge of forming articles based on what the site’s users want to see, which leads to the production of many biased articles each day, that in general, report the same kind of information that attacks one kind of political figure or organization. If the article seems to force you to share it, or reports only on information that they think can go viral, it’s wise to stay away from it, and any other articles and reports you find on the same site.

Major hints that a news source is biased
These are all indicators that there’s something wrong with the story you’re reading. If you can find these present in an article or on the site, the information you’re reading is probably not entirely factual or even verifiable, and in many cases, it could be that the article is intentionally biased. No sources – the site doesn’t reference where the information is coming from
Click bait headlines – the website is enticing you to click, usually from another site or online location, with compelling, unfinished statements such as “You’ll never believe what [this person] did!” or “ [This thing] will destroy our entire…”
Images from other sources – if you can find the same image used for sharing, or at the top of the article on other websites, then the content is likely unoriginal, and quickly put together in an attempt to get shares quickly. Poor grammar – if the article is full of typos, poor spelling, or bad grammar, chances are the person who wrote it isn’t qualified for journalism.

The article makes more arguments than factual statements – if the author is always making argumentative statements instead of stating facts, they are trying to lead you to a certain conclusion. With news, you should be able to read the information and draw your own conclusions, because the facts will speak for themselves. The article is overly negative pertaining to a specific person or organization – if more than the facts are stated, and there are repeated sentences that outright insult a person or organization, there is likely a moral or political bias present.

The Wall Street Journal – The WSJ has a large team of fact-checkers that look over articles before they get published to make sure they don’t often report incorrect information. British Broadca

If you want to know where to draw the line between a reliable news source and a story intended to get a lot of shares, this article will help you, as will our ultimate guide to fake news. Read on to become an instant expert on news biases and credibility. What is bias in news? Bias in news can exist in many ways, including decisions about what should be emphasized, the choice not to include specific known facts, and the personal moral beliefs of journalists, reporters, and news producers, affecting the way stories are written, reported, and covered across media outlets. Some online news resources and websites will intentionally choose not to report on something if it doesn’t line up with their personal views – especially when politics is involved. They may also craft false stories or arrange stories based on loose observations, making it seem as though something happened when it didn’t. It’s important to be able to recognize when you’re reading a biased story, and when the story you’re reading is factual and credible.

Some online news resources and websites will intentionally choose not to report on something if it doesn’t line up with their personal views – especially when politics is involved. They may also craft false stories or arrange stories based on loose observations, making it seem as though something happened when it didn’t. It’s important to be able to recognize when you’re reading a biased story, and when the story you’re reading is factual and credible. These are the best ways to tell when you’re being duped, and when the news story is legit. 8 ways to tell a news story is not credible
1. There are no sources. If a story doesn’t contain sources, it’s not credible. Most reliable journalistic outlets won’t be afraid to state where their information is coming from.

LinkedIn Groups
What are LinkedIn groups?
How to find and join LinkedIn groups
How to leave a LinkedIn group
How to create a LinkedIn group
How to close a LinkedIn group
Content: Based on your position, industry, and the information you've entered into your profile, LinkedIn will suggest some groups that you may want to join. Click on a group's name to see more information about it, or click the Ask to Join button at the bottom-right of each listing. Note that some groups are private. Many groups love expanding their subsribers, but you do need to be approved. If you try to join a private group, you may have to wait until one of the group's administrators approves your request before you are allowed into that group. If a group is suggested that you aren't interest in, click Not Interested. This will prevent this group from continually being suggested to you, and will help LinkedIn make better suggestions to you in the future. You can also look for specific groups, or search for groups in a particular category using the LinkedIn search bar. Simply click in the search bar and type the name of a group, or type a category, skill, or genre for a group. After you search, under the search bar, narrow your search by clicking Groups .

Content: “After years of hype, mobile advertising has finally arrived. Its importance will only grow over the next few years as advertisers and agencies get to grips with the opportunities it offers, and improve its ability to measure and deliver return on investment,” writes Tim Jones, CEO, North America, ZenithOptimedia, in a statement. Yes, I’m pretty sure I’ve read this statement in years past, too; but moves like Twitter’s, and the actual billions in revenue, give some weight to those words at last having some actual meaning. There is still a long way to go. Although we have all heard about the decline of print and how many old-school publishers are feeling the crunch, and how people are turning off the radio to listen to services like Spotify, the knock-on effect on advertising is taking longer to emerge. If you look at 2012, the combined ad spend for newspapers and magazines still outweighed that of Internet spend. If you add in radio to that, by 2015 they will still outweigh Internet spend. And while we talk about the rise of Internet video and OTT streaming services like Netflix that bypass commercials, television advertising is still by far the biggest piece of the pie — 40% in 2012, and declining by a mere 0.5 percentage points by 2015. That says a lot about why Twitter is focusing so much attention on how it plans to grow its advertising and marketing services in tandem with the TV industry.

Content: But for larger companies like Apple, Twitter, Facebook and Alphabet, growth is an absolutely massive part of the equation. And Apple today showed that not only did its sales fall year-on-year for the first time in 13 years, its next quarter is also looking equally bleak. [graphiq id=”ejXEg8NAEDz” title=”Apple (AAPL) iPhone Unit Sales” width=”600″ height=”462″ url=”https://w.graphiq.com/w/ejXEg8NAEDz” link=”https://www.graphiq.com” link_text=”Visualization by Graphiq”]
Take Twitter today, for example. Twitter managed to beat analyst estimates on earnings — and its user base actually grew! Twitter has 310 million monthly active users, compared to 305 million in the previous quarter. But the company also said it would record revenue between $590 million and $610 million, well below the $678 million that analysts were expecting for Q3. For a company that does a relatively good job of monetizing its very slowly growing (and sometimes declining) user base, that’s a bad thing to report. Here’s another one: Alphabet. For a brief moment, Alphabet became even more valuable than Apple, because it beat in dramatic fashion what analysts were expecting from the company — and showed that it was growing, despite its cost-per-click (basically how valuable each click is to Alphabet) continuing to decline.

A new study from Pew Research claims that 62 percent of people get their news from social media, with 18 percent doing so very often. As expected, the top social media news source is Facebook. The study claims that two-thirds of Facebook’s user base read their news on the platform, with 59 percent of Twitter users getting news on Twitter, and 70 percent of Reddit users doing the same with their respective platform. Considering the difference in size of these user groups — Facebook reaches 67 percent of the adult American population while Twitter only reaches 16 percent — that puts Facebook on top with 44 percent of the population getting news from the network. Comparatively, Twitter and YouTube come in second with about 10 percent of the population getting news on those platforms. Only about a quarter of those polled (4,654 members of the Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel) get news from two or more sites, and only 10 percent receive news from three or more platforms, putting overlapping audiences in the minority. That said, between 20 percent and 30 percent of users across the top five social media sites with news audiences also get their news from television, both nightly network news and local TV. Half of Twitter and LinkedIn news consumers also seek out news from websites and apps, with around one-third of Facebook and YouTube news users doing the same. A similar study from 2012 saw 42 percent of U.S. adults getting their news from social media, so in the past four years, news on social media has grown 20 percent.

Pew also found that since 2013, social media sites with the most growth of their news audience came down to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. This study comes at an interesting time. The media has been in a flurry ever since Gizmodo broke the story that Facebook’s trending news topics may not be as algorithmic as we all imagined. Former employees said that news editors routinely decided on trending news topics (before they could be detected by the trending algorithm) and that often involved suppressing conservative news topics and sources. This led to an inquiry from the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee investigating the allegations.

As global poverty continues to decline, another issue emerges. According to the World Economic Forum, rising income inequality and the polarization of societies pose a risk to the global economy, and may lead to increased polarization and lack of political stability. This, however, is not a global problem. In developing countries, inequality is decreasing and the amount of people living in extreme poverty is at an all-time low. Mobile technology is contributing to financial inclusion in countries without an established financial infrastructure, and global markets create trade opportunities. However, the increase in inequality is affecting high- and middle-income countries, as labor-saving technology has replaced many blue-collar jobs that paid well. Those workers have had to switch to retail and home healthcare jobs, where the pay is typically lower.

Content: This, however, is not a global problem. In developing countries, inequality is decreasing and the amount of people living in extreme poverty is at an all-time low. Mobile technology is contributing to financial inclusion in countries without an established financial infrastructure, and global markets create trade opportunities. However, the increase in inequality is affecting high- and middle-income countries, as labor-saving technology has replaced many blue-collar jobs that paid well. Those workers have had to switch to retail and home healthcare jobs, where the pay is typically lower. The disparity between the rich and everyone else is larger than ever in the United States, and few places is this skewed wealth distribution more visible than in and around Silicon Valley. The chasm between tech multi-billionaires and the rest of the population in Northern California — where an estimated 31 percent of jobs pay $16 per hour or less and the median income in the U.S. today is about the same as it was in 1995 — has led to the conclusion that the tech sector is greatly contributing to increased inequality. According to The Second Machine Age, by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, this has been a slow train coming since the 1980s, when the PC invaded offices and homes. This change has gathered momentum ever since, and the exponential nature of technology is now accelerating this development. While technological innovation has replaced jobs for decades, it has always created more jobs than it has destroyed.

Regulatory Impact
The threat of governments regulating BTC has been a major factor affecting investor trust in the cryptocurrency. In some cases, regulation has caused a significant drop in the price of Bitcoin. For example, in 2017 when the People’s Bank of China tightened its oversight of the country’s then-dominant Bitcoin exchanges, the volume of transactions dropped significantly. Similarly, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rejection of the launch of a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund caused the market to drop by nearly 30% that day. Credit: Cryptocompare
Recently, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network proposed new regulations to make it much easier for the government to track Bitcoin transactions. However, despite all the regulatory rumblings, the cryptocurrency’s price largely continues its upward trajectory. In retrospect not all the regulation against BTC has been negative. Central banks in Russia, China and the EU are now embracing cryptocurrencies.

Content: “Employees tend to get the feeling that whenever they spend time in front of a computer, they’re working, but in many cases, they fail to get any essential work done, which results in a lot of time wasted,” the section chief said. “ In addition, communications often deteriorate, so we saw a need to create a better environment.” ADVERTISEMENT
Isao Endo, a professor at Waseda University who advocates the idea of Internet fasting at companies, said: “ Information found on the Internet is secondhand or tertiary information. Unless people regain the ability to think for themselves based on firsthand information, which can be obtained only in the real world, we’re bound to become losers in the fast-changing world of international competition.” Tomomi Fujiwara, who has also carried out Internet fasts and written a book titled “Net de Tsunagaru koto no Taerarenai Karusa” (The unbearable lightness of connecting with others on the Net) said, “On the Internet, words are instantaneously delivered, consumed and forgotten, and therefore do not lead to a dialogue or deepen people’s sociability.” “Even in the world of politics, a few spoken words can prompt people to act,” he said. “ Many people are caught up in connections or interactions in the virtual world of smartphones rather than conversing with their families or friends face to face. We should recognize how serious the situation is.” Internet addiction disorder is a condition in which someone becomes so deeply absorbed in the online world that it mentally and physically interferes with his or her everyday life.

The 5 best ways to get good information
We need a revolution of good information.
1. Know your sources.
2. Choose quality over quantity
3. Believe facts. Not stories.
4. Get out of your algorithm
5. Question what you’re reading (or hearing or seeing)
Content: Read articles in full and stop to think about what they mean (more on that below). When your half-hour or hour is up, stop. It is far more useful to be well-informed about a few things than badly informed about a lot. 3. Believe facts. Not stories. You’d be surprised how easily emotion can get in the way of the truth. The majority of us are far more likely to be interested in news stories that grab our attention, play on our emotions or conform to our beliefs. Which makes sense: this type of reporting is more immediately engaging than evidence, facts and figures.

Final Thoughts
Content: It is also referred to as a transient electromagnetic disturbance. The premise, of how an EMP operates and why it matters so much to people, is all about the physics of electricity and, on it, societies dependency. Electricity is in the air. In fact, Nicola Tesla’s last unfinished feat was to develop a form of grid-wide wireless electricity distribution. An EMP is a burst of electromagnetic energy from a natural or manmade source. The energy travels over the electrically charged air and is attracted to other electric currents. The problem is that the energy from an EMP disrupts the current output of electronic devices, causing an overload. Is an EMP Cause for Alarm? The only productive use of EMP for humans is as a weapon. If you are on the receiving end of an EMP, yes–it is cause for alarm.

Without protection, every piece of electronic equipment you own is vulnerable to an EMP. In fact–every piece of electronic equipment on the planet is vulnerable to a naturally occurring EMP. A natural EMP comes from magnetic storms and solar activity on the surface of the sun. Geomagnetic storms periodically produce solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
