#and it's one of the responsible ones who regularly goes to seminars

[dinosaurcharcuterie]

Now, I'm not saying the doctor I'm seeing today has a reputation for eye-watering long waitibg room times. Or that Germany has very odd ideas about what efficient rail plans are once you leave any given metropolis.

I'm not saying any of that.

I'm just saying, this felt like the right book to start reading today.

TBH Matthew Robinnson I think is right and on the right track, but I also think he has a bit of a closed minded and kinda "boomer"ish view on how DID should look. I do think researching with his concept in mind is important and I REALLY do think we do need to research social media and DID relationships because I think it is ABSOLUTELY important to bring up and I am absolutely glad someone is bring it up and onto the desks of researchers so I do think the conference was a large net positive

That said, it's hardly perfect and I have a lot of complaints but heres the thing, I don't think I've ever been to a research seminar / conference where I DIDNT have complaints. The nature of these things aren't meant to be 100% informational and "this is fact" it is to share current thoughts, concepts, ideas, and directions with people in a similar field to try to start a conversation on certain issues and get other researchers thinking about similar issues.

These sorts of videos do not exist primarily for a general audience but other researchers and academics - professionals and experts - to address a current issue that is being faced. Researchers and academics are LARGELY argumentative (in an actual debate manner) and actively challenge one another and it is very very very rare that these sorts of seminars and conferences go unchallenged because doing so is - at least in my experience in research fields - against the very nature of those in the field of research.

If it worries you that this is going to UPHEAVAL the WHOLE professional world, don't. For each professional researcher that states one view there will be another that goes "um actually I disagree". He is one professional and honestly his take isn't wrong, his attitude and view (imo) is just that he is a bit dated and a little closed minded.

Typically I don't really care to commentate on discourse that is popular in the communities cause usually theyre honestly stupid and dumb af, but considering this was an academic seminar causing it, I felt a lot more interested and responsible of communicating my thoughts on it as someone who does regularly sit in research communities and centers and in literally a month will be a paid professional in the field of research under a research university.

Just remember when looking at this stuff that those videos are again, NOT MEANT TO BE FACT AND END ALL. They are discussion starters. They're flags being raised for "I think this is something we need to look into". His claims are not " this is the absolute truth " - it is "this is what I see and notice and think and it has me curious / concerned on this topic and I think others should also be curious / concerned and this is something worth researching."

Just take a breath.

It will be OK.

The world has not ended because someone questioned it.

I understand being dysregulated / upset or anything by it, cause fair and I understand, but its just a conversation topic that is HONESTLY very needed.

If you agree with the statement "we should get more research on how social media interacts with DID" then what he is doing is beneficial as a net whole.

You don't have to agree with everything he said to agree with the core function and purpose of the seminar which was to raise interest in the topic of social media and DID within other professional researchers.

He might not be the best speaker, but it served its purpose for starting a conversation.

The only thing this will result in is an increase of interest in researching DID in the modern era. Nothing more, nothing less.

Headcanon: Cynthia and the Lake Trio

Canon:

Cynthia is a Sinnoan who generally stays in Sinnoh but travels around it and who is willful, emotional, and knowledgeable.  

Conjecture:

Following the defeat of Team Galactic at Spear Pillar, it is entirely plausible for all three members of the Lake Trio to decide to treat her as a fellow guardian of Sinnoh (and/or technically the Universe) and a sort of almost equal (or at least a 'brother in arms' ) to occasionally hang around. 

Headcanon:

(based on there being that shrine in her hometown of Celestic Town in the games, admittedly) 

She'd privately been [raised to be] somewhat of a devout worshipper of the three before the events at Mt Coronet and the definative proof that they exist. That thing hanging from the necklace of hers has some religious meaning. Afterward, suddenly being treated as an [almost equal] ally and possibly friend (which eventually becomes reciprocated on her end) trips up her and everyone who knows her personally. It would start with her immediately checking to see if they're okay. Following Team Galactic being defeated, the triplet's champions would interpret the former just teleporting away (and the latter lacking a means of following them) as a sign that they're unharmed. So Ash and friends just go on their way. Cynthia can just Fly to the lakes to check on them. So being a responsible person, she does just that once all the immediately necessary cleanup (paperwork, verification the prisoners are being safely transported, etc) involved is complete. They're fine, but the thought is appreciated, and they do recognize her role in beating Team Galactic. What follows is occasional aid for the champion when she's in for their respective local areas. Reverence on her end turns into familiarity and mutual respect into possibly even a kind of friendship.

It is small at first: Azelf appears to help whenever she's in the area dealing with an emergency of some kind (disaster? some other set of poachers?). Azelf had been proven to exist and live in Lake Valor through the events of canon. This doesn't mean the locals aren't surprised to see it**. Perhaps the same is true for the other two (Or at least Mesprit who I can't think of a unique example of).

Any guest lectures by the champion at a school or university near Lake Acuity see the Being of Knowledge floating around at the back of the room, assisting the memory recall/formation of Cynthia and her audience to ensure it goes smoothly. 

Maybe while at the Valor Lakefront for one reason or another a kid (having just become a trainer a day before) decides to challenge her. The sheer chutzpah convinces Azelf to appear in front of him before he can send out his only Pokémon so that he can command the legendary against her instead.

Prayer/mediation at the lakes turns into chatting and in Mesprits' case, stress relief along with Dawn who it probably visits and is visited by regularly (after all, Mesprits lake is just outside of Twinleaf. It's not improbable that the two become friends themselves) (whether the chatting is one-way or two-way and if two way then if communication is direct telepathy or the transmission of certainties/emotions/memories is whatever you'd prefer).

And occasionally the three teleport to hang out with her wherever she may be.

Things come to a head when she goes on an archeological expedition for some ancient settlement's buried ruins in northern Sinnoh and the three decide to accompany her. She asks Uxie if it can give her directions to the location of the ruins and is given as a response her own memory of herself explaining to someone (a student at a seminar she guest lectured to?) that you can't truly learn something if you are just given the answers straight out. 

"But surely it counts in this case. You live around here. You count as a valid primary source." In response, all she gets back is Uxie smugly smiling at her. She doesn't catch herself muttering [something like] "You asshole." at the legendary pokémon. Frustration turns to horror at the blasphemous statement, but before she can apologize she notices Azelf and Mesprit have started laughing. She's dumbfounded "What?". And then comes a rapid series of memories into her mind -not her own but Uxie's- of both of its siblings expressing similar frustration at the Being of Knowledge being vague or mysterious or having told/hinted to them "I know something you don't". She rolls her eyes and starts to repeat her previous statement, but the frustration this time has been expanded into anger and thus speaks the words louder. "And you too, Mesprit. You can't just mess with people's minds for fun like that." (potentially replace Mesprit with Azelf here) The laughing continues. It is at this point that Cynthia realizes that mutual respect has turned into friendship. "A hint at least?". And then memories of relevant details about the civilization which she previously read begin to be recalled in her mind. And so on it goes. They'd spend time together occasionally, and do each other small favors (the legendaries teleporting the champion between lakes, Cynthia conducting odd errands). If the trio's existence is becoming common knowledge, the human and lake trio (plus Dawn, in Mesprit's case) may not even seriously hide their interactions. Those who revere the Lake Spirits (and assuming she'd have grown up in such a community, she'd know many of these people) may have no idea how to react to her growingly casual irreverent familiarity with them. ("Yes, 'Azelf desires that all may be the very best they can be. That thy will may triumph over any obstacle'. But it can be highly aggravating in its desire for such. Yes, what it wants is generally is a good thing. It isn't beneficial when it involves pestering someone for hours when they're trying to do paperwork in order to see the limit of their willpower or convince them to help make a hot pepper-mint icecream sunday. Again!") ([insert Mesprit statement here. Something about needing to talk down Mesprit from subjecting a criminal to a fae-style cruel and unusual punishment on account of Dawn being there to potentially see it? Maybe Mesprit would do the thing with the extremely painful food (but for the sake of experiencing it rather than to show how strong-willed it is)?]) ("Without a doubt, 'Uxie Knows'. It is a wonderful confidante and has been a lifesaver in keeping track of paperwork. And yes, Uxie absolutely does want people to be able to solve problems themselves. But I can speak for both myself and its siblings when I say Uxie is absolutely insufferable about it. 'Hey, Uxie? there's been an uptick in Pokémon kidnapping recently by some group of poachers. They were sighted around here recently, so can you help me find them?' And so rather than doing anything direct, it just reminds me of two news articles I'd read and a patch of a crime scene I'd once visited, then teleports away. One two weeks long investigation all across Sinnoh later and the G-men and I find that there's been a Pokémon Pinchers cell operating in Pastoria, while they're all gathered together and preparing for their first monthly shipment. Next I saw Uxie, it just gives me this smug look as if I should be pleased to be led by the nose with little sleep on some quest for something it probably already knew the location of. Absolutely insufferable.")

When Cynthia began to contemplate retiring from competitive battling, they were probably some of the first beings other than her own Pokémon that she confided in. Azelf, of course, merely insisted that she wait until after battling its favorite human.

**Slightly related vague headcanon: 

When the locals at the lakefront decide to build a shrine to Azelf subsequently to being officially demonstrated to exist without a shadow of a doubt, its soon replaced/modified(?) with the plan to build a park of some sort where people and Pokémon can test their willpower/courage. Eventually, one might find Medicham and Lucario meditating there. And if you're lucky you might see Azelf itself on the rollercoaster (or some equivalent) ride.

~~~~~ Not sure what to do with Mesprit here*** other than it also becoming friends with Dawn, or pushing for larger expressions of emotion. Something about having fae-like mannerisms, maybe? 'emotions as weighting functions in decision trees' is probably too clinical. I dunno ***or in general - frankly Mesprit is the least interesting and hardest to figure out a unique worldview for).

Try to take advantage of me? Let me hang you out to dry.

This happened a few years ago

A bit of back story; I’m Dutch (sorry in advanced for any spelling or grammatical mistakes) and at the time I was 29. I live with special care and I get paid disability by a government agency which is 80% of minimum wage for someone my age. The job I had at a place, we’ll call JobDirector, and it’s not really a job, more like the place where I’m given care is paying JobDirector to keep me entertained during the day so I’m not stuck at home 24/7. So to sum that up, JobDirector isn’t paying me a dime, they are paid for me to be there and any actual work I do while there also turns them a profit. It’s fair to say that they make double the money on me being there, just keep that in mind as I start the story.

Working at JobDirector, I was the Personal Assistant of the Electrician they had on staff, let’s call him Gus. Gus was an old hand in the trade and he was nearing his retirement he worked only 2 mornings in the week, I worked 4 Mornings in the week so I was a perfect fit to be his assistant. And we did everything, not just electrical but also pluming and putting up storage racks. And I did most of the menial things, lug the tool box around, hand him tools, hold the ladder he was standing on, you name it. I did often get the crappy side of the jobs but that’s how you learned a trade in the old days before formal job trainings. Do the sucky jobs and stick around and you’ll learn a thing or two. Well that is what happened. I learned how to do most of the things Gus was doing regularly. It got to the point where he would send me out to do jobs alone, jobs that didn’t require him to inspect my work for safety reasons.

Management of JobDirector caught wind of this, and having believed that people in my situations couldn’t really be taught anything, they suddenly saw an untapped potential. So for the other 2 days where Gus didn’t need me, JobDirector tried to send me to another project they had going for those days.

The project in question was super vision of peoples’ bicycles at the local train station; they had already opened a kiosk and restaurant there and wanted to add supervision to the bicycles there. (side note to you non-Dutch out there; you’d be surprised how many Bicycles are used and how many are stolen daily in my country, particularly at train stations). I had to report to a small meeting with the guy supervising the train station, let’s call him Jim, so he could instruct me on the job; basically it was a “show presence to scare off thieves” type of deal. Bright orange jacket riddled with reflector strips saying “Bicycle Security” on the back. Just walking around is a job I could easily do, but being more forward thinking then my disability would suggest I of course have questions and the conversation went like this:

“Ok so what about if I catch someone in the act of trying to steal a Bike, and he attacks me, am I covered for defending myself or the potential trauma the thief inflicts on me?” was my first question.

With a somewhat surprised look Jim would answer “Oh don’t worry about it, that’s never to happen.” Guess he didn’t expect that kind of a question from me.

I’ve seen stranger things happen so I don’t buy Jim’s answer, but I press on. “Ok… So what about any incidents that happen?”

“When a incident happens, just stay there and call me.”

“Ok so you’ll provide me with a job phone then?”

At this point Jim starts looking a bit annoyed at me. “What for? You have a cellphone don’t you? Just use that.”

I found that to be a weird response. And while I do look up the occasional schematic for Gus and myself, that’s always over the Company Wifi we installed. But actually using my cellphone bill for work? “Ok can I put in for the amount of my Cellphone bill I use up for work?”

“What the hell for?” Jim says starting to get angry. “It’s just a single less than a minute phone call to call me over.” Now some people might agree with Jim at this point, but let me point out that everyone that is actually on JobDirector’s staff payroll has a work phone assigned to them by the company. They want me, the lowest of the low unpaid worker, to use my private phone? No I draw the line there. But I didn’t have to say anything else anymore as Jim goes: “You know what, never mind. Go back to your original spot because you are being too difficult.”

At the time I filed the whole thing away as something weird and dismissed it as I went on my way. Not really having caught on to a changing trend at the company.

Fast forward a month or two and I’ve learned more about electronics including the NEN3140 Certification. Let me go off topic for a minute here; The NEN3140 is a Dutch certification for electric appliances inside of a business. I don’t know most of the terminology in English, but it has to do with job safety. Any appliance that is movable by hand needs to be certified. This includes but is not limited to; Computers, Corded power tools, chargers for battery powered tools, fridges, freezers and washing machines. If it has a plug on it for a standard electrical outlet, it needs to be certified.

If for instance Timmy uses an angle grinder and it malfunctions causing Timmy to get electrocuted (just making up an extreme example here) and the angle grinder wasn’t NEN3140 compliant, well the company will be looking at a hefty fine from a government agency dealing with job safety. And on top of that job health insurance won’t pay out to cover whatever compensation Timmy needs or is entitled to, meaning the company itself will need to cough that up too. Now back to the story

So Gus and I do this NEN3140 certification for every location JobDirector has, Gus is a certified NEN3140 inspector and has the specialized testing device. I can do the job for him under his supervision. I actually do most of the computerized paperwork for him because Gus is a single finger ‘hunt and peck’ kind of user of the keyboard while I myself ten finger blind type, shaves literally a few months from the work for Gus. Total count of devices tested at just the company itself; 756. Keep that number in mind folks, as it is important!

During one of our drives back to our morning start site just before our shift ends, Gus being an older helpful guy that sometimes worries about peoples futures, and knowing how I can easily do the NEN3140 on my own starts to talk about maybe a potential future for me to be a NEN3140 Certifier. In that conversation I learn the following;

* Getting the diploma is about 50 Euro (55.95 USD) for a 2 hour seminar, which you have to do yearly to keep your NEN3140 certifier status.* The Testing device costs about 1000 Euro (1117.55 USD) to buy, and will cost around 500 Euro (559.50 USD) to calibrate it to specification every year.* If you are a Certifier, and you have your own equipment, you can go to a company and ask a MINIMUM of 20 euro (20.38 USD) per power plug. Note I said power plug, not passed or rejected appliances, just having the plug plugged into the tester is money for me.

Remember that number of total devices? 756? 756 * 20 Euro = 15120 Euro (16919.28 USD). That’s already way more then I make a year from the disability pay. For just two and a half months of work at my current work hours.

The only logical thing I could respond with after having calculated that for the first time was “Thanks Gus, you’ve given me some food for thought”.

About a week after this conversation, Gus tells me that they have a small time business requiring NEN3140 Certification but that he is too busy with another job. So if I could do it instead. I go and I test all the devices they had, 35 plugs in total. I Generate the paperwork and ensure that there is a printed copy of the manual for all said devices that where certified and place 35 signatures on the paperwork in Gus’ name. Total time taken for all that was about two weeks total. Client is happy, I’m happy, Gus is happy, Company is happy.

Two weeks after having completed that, another one comes up. So again I do it, this time under Gus’ supervision. 514 plugs. Two months of work and my wrist was in agony after setting 514 signatures. Remember I’m a lowest of the lower unpaid worker there, so I already decided that I wasn’t going to be doing that for long.

At this point, Gus is almost a single year away from his retirement. And in our daily conversations in his car he had already pointedly told me that “When my retirement hits, I’ll be leaving my tools at home and never touching them again unless they pay me.” He’s the ‘can’t sit still at home’ type so he was going to be sticking at the company as a volunteer together with his wife he was also working there. Not doing electronics work anymore.

And the upper management of JobDirector saw an untapped gold mine. Me, doing NEN3140 certifications. So I was called into a small meeting, Gus was there, some HR like person and one of the underbosses. They started buttering me up about helping me get a certifier license, at a great deal of half off. The testing device they had already bought and paid for, on the one hand possible career choice, on the other hand? No way am I going that for 80% of minimum wage considering what kind of money that’d be making off of me. Let alone the position of responsibility I’d be left in. as rankings in the company go, I am literally lowest of the low. I have no say. Gus when he found an appliance while doing the NEN3140, would put a cable-snipper onto the power cord and cut it as close the appliance as possible. I don’t have that kind of authority, and you’ll just know that the company will continue using an appliance even if I reject it. Now who do you think is going to take the fall for that if someone gets unscheduled electro shock therapy?

Covering the financial situation first, I ask them what I would get in return. Their response left me lukewarm and I quote: “Payment? This is a bit of responsibility, which is a good thing for you!” Yeah, just because I live with special care and get disability, they think that I have no responsibility at all. And I wasn’t out to milk them dry or anything. If they did pay me above a certain amount it wouldn’t be a benefit to me but a detriment as the disability I get would be cut leaving me even worse off. But some compensation would have been nice right? More relaxed hours, different job title that would actually allow me to throw out the appliances that didn’t make it, a company cellphone maybe? Nope they wouldn’t budge. So I told them where they could stick their ‘bit of responsibility’.

Well tell you something though, because of my disability, I didn’t get scolded. Not in any official capacity anyways. But Gus was not happy. In a later conversation I had in his car, he said that I was being stupid, and that I won’t make it anywhere in life if I don’t try anything new. This is of course coming from the guy who’s been raving for two years now how he’ll never pick up his tools again after he’s retired. I point out his hypocrisy and that if he doesn’t want to do the work if he’s not getting paid, then why should I? He has no answer of course and stays quiet.

A week passes, and I was notified that Gus no longer wanted to work with me because he disapproved of my work ethics. Well that suited me just fine, as much as I respect his age and experience, I was getting tired of him harping on about my disability and his disapproval of how I choose to spend my free time like the dude is my dad or something. And an hour later I heard that the company was making deals with other companies for NEN3140 Certifications.

I had already smelled something fishy a week before Gus no longer wanted to work with me and had taken prudence to look for another company that would be happy to have my presence and the payment they’d get for having me over 4 mornings of the week.

The following morning I was called over and they started to tell me about the job at a major company in the area, upwards of 1500+ appliances. My boss was very enthusiastic about it (who wouldn’t be for 30k Euro/33.5k USD?) and that I needed to do that job under Gus’ supervision. Meaning Gus would drive me out to there, to then leave me there to do his own workload. Then pick me up again at quitting time.

I told the boss that I was happy for him landing such a big job and I enthusiastically told him that I just got hired somewhere else, and because I’m unpaid I had no obligation to give prior notice. Boss went white as a sheet, trying to tell me that I couldn’t just do that, and that I had to have a 3 month exit period. I knew it wasn’t true, so I just laughed myself all the way out the door to my new ‘job’ that certainly appreciated me more than this company.

Sex Education:- A must need for future generation

Meaning:- 'Sex education' simply means the introduction of concept regarding sexual reproduction and sexual feelings'. It is a systematic study of the gradual development of body, sexuality, and relationships in school. It aims to help young people to communicate and make the correct decision regarding sex and their sexual health. Need:- Our schools teach our children everything they need to know to succeed – right? Intensive classes, exams to help them get into the best universities in India and abroad, and even extra out-of-school tuition so they can compete with their global peers. What is the need to teach our kids' sex education? If anything, it will distract them from their studies and put wrong ideas in their heads. Well, actually, when we watch our children, what we see is a safe, simple world – our kids go to school, study, and do their extracurricular activities. In reality, there is a lot of turmoil going on inside the adolescent mind. Take an average adolescent girl in India – she gets little information on her menstrual cycle so feels confused and embarrassed every month on her period, regularly gets harassed on the street, and then goes to school and does not know if it’s ok or not ok to talk to the boy she likes in class. If she faces some sort of sexual abuse from her teacher, she’s scared that she will get blamed if she speaks up – and she does not even have the words to say what has happened to her. It’s a similar situation for the average adolescent boy. In addition, he is usually consuming a lot of pornography, shaping his perceptions about girls and women. Adolescents these days are actually battling deep insecurities, facing challenging social situations with no easy answers, and getting a flood of vulgar, sexist, and misleading information from the media, which is usually their only source of information about how to interact with the world. All of these factors are having a deep effect on our kids, and shaping them into the adults they will be in the future. How do we combat this to create young adults who are confident in who they are, understand how to interact with each other in healthy and respectful ways, and are staying safe? It’s hard to have these conversations with kids because we do not know exactly what they are facing or what to say to them. Contrary to what people think, that is exactly what sex education is. It is not about teaching children how to have sex – it is about informing them about what is happening in their bodies and also teaching them to make safe, healthy choices as they grow up. It is also about helping them understand that the messages that they are getting from Bollywood or pornography are not realistic and can be harmful. Instead, it is about helping them come to their own conclusions about what it means to be a successful, interesting boy or girl. Roles of Parents and Schools in Sex Education In this era, rapes are increasing daily. One of the reasons for it can be a lack of sex education. In India, we are not getting sex education as awkwardness and ignorance from parents as well as from school. Information regarding sex, pregnancy, and contraception should be provided to children and adolescents in an age-appropriate manner from parents and schools. For children, it is necessary to understand the difference between good touch and bad touch. Sex education is a complex topic so it has to be handled with care. And in this process schools can play a very vital role. Teens go to school to get an education and school is a huge factor in growing their mindset and shaping their future. So, if they got to know about sex education from their growing stage the whole scenario of rape in India can change. As they know what is wrong and what is right. Also, the family atmosphere is very important as children adopt many things from their homes. Parents have to listen to them and make them understand what it is and why we required it. Parents have to look after their child’s life what they are facing. Also having healthy talks with them and let them understand is important. Schools can have a special sex educator and conducting seminars can create a huge change. Kind of sex education to different types of age group Awareness The pediatrician should encourage early parental discussion with children at home about sexuality, contraception, and Internet and social media use that is consistent with the child’s and family’s attitudes, values, beliefs, and circumstances. •Gender wise type. Diverse family circumstances, such as families with same-sex parents or children who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning, create unique guidance needs regarding sexuality education. •Stabilize Converse. Modeling ways to initiate talks about sexuality with children at pertinent opportunities, such as the birth of a sibling can encourage parents to answer children's questions fully and accurately. Parents and adolescents are encouraged to receive information from multiple sources, including health care providers and sexuality educators, about circumstances that are associated with earlier sexual activity. Adolescents are encouraged to feel empowered through discussing strategies that allow for practicing social skills, assertiveness, control, and rejection of unwanted sexual advances and cessation of sexual activity when the partner does not consent. •Proper Use- Discussions regarding healthy relationships and intimate partner violence can be effectively included in health care visits. Pediatricians are encouraged to acknowledge that sexual activity may be pleasurable but also must be engaged in responsibly. •Regulatory- Specific components of sexuality education offered in schools, religious institutions, parent organizations, and other community agencies vary based on many factors. The pediatrician can serve as a resource to each Ages wise- Age 2-5, in this age group parents can do like telling them about bad touch and good touch. Saying like this is not good and awarding them. Age 6-8, you as a parent should discuss with your child that how to use a digital world. Also, make them aware of the pornography world so that they don’t miss understand anything. Age 8 and 12, children often worry whether they're "normal" — particularly when it comes to penis size and breast size. Explain what happens during puberty for both boys and girls. Teenage, If you’ve established yourself as open to discussing those topics, “your kids are probably going to feel more comfortable talking to you and asking you questions,” says Thornhill. At this age, you should start interacting more with your child so that he/she can be on a good path with the help of sex education. Offer reassurance that children of the same age mature at different rates. Puberty might begin years earlier — or later — for some children, but eventually, everyone catches up. You might want to share experiences from your own development, particularly if you once had the same concerns that your child has now. Each thing has its own pros and cons. Similarly, sex education also has both. Let us look into it. Pros:- Sex education can also become the answer to many hormonal changes, which happens in the body. Sex education can also help to solve child sex abuse, as they will be aware of good touch and bad touch. It is good to teach them in school, as they will be having a guide, which can make them understand. If they are aware of it then they will not do any immature thing or the wrong thing. Cons:- Right now the teachers who are teaching at many schools they are not expert in this field. So there is a high risk, that students will get things wrong. And the wrong thing can be very much harmful. If sex education is not teaching properly, then a student can take it for granted or just not follow it. In most of the school sex education is not yet the primary subject so that’s also a reason, students won’t consider it to learn. Conclusion Helping kids understand that they have a gut, an inner voice, and they can and should listen to it, is a big part of what sex education is about,” says Silverberg. At the right time and in the right way sex education can be very helpful. It is necessary to keep a healthy conversation between parent and child. In addition, schools have a vital role as well. “Sex Education is as necessary as education and morals, for a better future.”

Motivating offers can attract customers who are unfamiliar with your brand or goods. Use a seminar, a pamphlet, a content download, a gift card offer, and so forth.

Describe Your Client

Who exactly are your potential customers? What websites do they visit regularly? These are all the kinds of questions you should be asking yourself before you start contemplating advertising ideas.

Demographics play an essential role as well. Recognize the information you have about your consumers' age, gender, tastes, and other helpful lifestyle factors. This information will aid your entire team in creating an ad that will elicit a good response.

This is what done by the Best Digital Marketing Agency in Kolkata.

Keep your advertisement focused on your customers and their lifestyles by using plotline adverts (as opposed to only describing the market).

Acai Berry Drink Health Benefits

Have you thought about implementing a Wellness Program within your business? Many businesses struggle with the notion of building an engaging Wellness Program. The secret is to get people to'desire' to change their habits, which may be a challenging task. All of us set wellness goals for ourselves, but how many of us manage to achieve them? Smokers promise to stop smoking at the beginning of the year, but give into cravings eventually. Plans to exercise regularly at a gym aren't followed through. Why these goals aren't achieved is most likely because there's absolutely no plan to act on. As the popular saying goes, a dream without a plan is just a wish. Students also don't have any health insurance unless they're on their parent's healthcare plan. However, if they're over 19, then they need to have their own personal medical insurance. That's lots of money for a student to pay out each month. Our Health ought to be first and foremost on our list of priorities, because without our Health. Nothing else will follow. For those with kids, do you set your children's health before your own? Ask yourself,"If I become ill, who will look after my children? If I pass away, who will take care of my family or be there for my significant other?" When my very best friend passed away on Mother's Day of this Coronary Embolism, she left behind two teenage sons who needed their mother. And, if you don't have children, you're still responsible for your own health as a grown adult. Your health supplies must be a priority. Do not ever think for one minute,"illness won't occur to me." Don't be a fool or live in denial when it comes to the subject of health. This can seem to be much to someone who's just starting out. But, other fitness coaches who teach and assist people in their companies can be found if you research companies in the industry. This is accomplished through online training, seminars or personal business coaching. Depending on the business, it all can be free or very inexpensive. First off, fitness for pleasure is a simple way to start getting back into shape. Just because it's fun it does not mean it isn't working. Alternative exercise activities are far from the dumb bell curls that you normally do in the gym, think pillow fights, sports, rock climbing, hiking and the list continues on and on. I hear you say that does not fitness have to be structured? In my opinion alternative fitness doesn't have to be structured in any way, the further from structured the better, as then it will not feel like work at all! If you are likely to progress from being a wannabee to an over comer, you need to understand how a wannabee acts and believes, and then alter that behavior so as to finally master your wellbeing. So what exactly does a wannabee do in life? What is there normal mode of operation? What they normally do is hear something and try it out. They may see some results but never really stick with it long enough to fully learn about what they were trying. They might have only learned about a third of their knowledge that they really needed to be successful at their endeavor. Listen to me attentively, no home exercise regiment will make you a Navy Seal, a celebrity, an Olympic or world-class athlete. We can expect this salesmanship from companies that spend millions in advertising a month, but we shouldn't, dare not lie . No program is without some merit and no program can match all our varying needs as we pursue a fitness life style.

The 8 Blunders Assured to Doom Your Corporate Video Production

It's been a really impressive journey. I have actually been in the video clip and also multimedia production business because 1981 and in my 30+ years in business, I have actually seen some definitely incredible jumps in the sector. To place video in historic point of view, it was only 22 years before I took the plunge right into specialist video that Sony, Matsushita, Toshiba, and also JVC presented helical-scan recording, which is the technique utilized because to record on video tape recorders. It took practically the entire succeeding 22-year span to bring these helical check recorders into the home.

  When I started in video manufacturing in 1981, consumer video clip recording was in its early stage. Most American homes did not have a Video Cassette Recorder. VHS was still fighting Betamax (what's that?!) for superiority in the house video clip layout wars. Tape (huh?) was the staple of industrial as well as marketing video production and 2" "Quad" machines (what??) were what the "real" program studios utilized for their highest editing and also studio job. Area cams with the ability of producing the best broadcast-quality images set you back greater than the majority of houses at the time. (And now these have actually been surpassed in high quality by today's customer video cameras.) The CD-Rom had not yet come on the scene, and internet usage was years away. Pressed video and also streaming on web sites were barely the typical "delusion" of someone's creative imagination. DVDs? HDTV? You're kidding!

  Yet in spite of the extraordinary technical breakthroughs over the years, numerous things have remained consistent. The demand to record and also preserve audience interest, tell a story, and accomplish one's purposes were all essential to successfully interacting after that, and also remain so today.

Best Video Production Companies Portland

And also as technical breakthroughs have brought cost effective high-grade video clip as well as multimedia into the hands of the neophyte, the need to utilize them "correctly" has stayed. Just because you've got a paint brush, that doesn't make you Rembrandt!

  Allow's have a look at several of the errors still made in workplace corporate video and multimedia programs:

  The 8 Blunders Ensured to RUIN Your Company Video or Multimedia Project:

  MISTAKE 1. DON'T TROUBLE TO RECOGNIZE YOUR AUDIENCE (OR TO REGULARLY MAINTAIN IT IN MIND).

  This is the first and foremost rule of producing any kind of type of interactions program, yet it is remarkable exactly how frequently it gets broken. This rule is certainly not distinct to video or multimedia programs. In all forms of sound as well as aesthetic interaction, it is important to establish an exact definition of the target audience - and remember it.

  Market research companies and departments invest billions of bucks every year to establish that will certainly obtain a message to make sure that appropriate item positioning, advertising and also promotions can be done. And also it is cash well invested.

  Yet we frequently see firms approaching their video and/or multimedia tasks with a "Ready, Fire, Objective" strategy. They make use of a shotgun when a rifle is asked for. They attempt to interest a number of audiences with the hope that the program will certainly offer several functions. Remember, when you attempt to attract everyone, you attract nobody.

  While the same standard program can in some cases be utilized for different target markets, it is suggested that various variants or variations be created for those various teams. It's a straightforward issue to re-edit or re-narrate portions of a manufacturing. Nevertheless, efficiency demands that this is planned initially of the project.

  So remember to intend the job with your audience in mind. Know what their level of knowledge or experience is with the subject. This will avoid the problem of capturing as well low (e.g. losing their time showing or informing them something they recognize) or too high (losing them because you assume a degree of proficiency they have not yet obtained).

  BLUNDER 2. DON'T PRE-DETERMINE YOUR PURPOSE.

  This goes together with the very first item. In addition to understanding who you are speaking with, you require to know what you desire them to do or really feel after the program has been provided.

  Whenever possible, the objective must be quantifiable. It is absolutely less complicated to gauge cause the location of training. As any excellent training expert recognizes, pre- and post-training evaluation tests can evaluate the outcomes of a training program.

  Likewise, to buy and also advertising or interactions, thorough testing as well as stats can be gathered concerning project recognition and attitudes before as well as after the presentation of the overall program package. However each of those possibly aren't the actual wanted results - the true objective is inflating the sales figures.

  As in training, it is preferable to gauge the effectiveness the sales or communications program has in fulfilling the specified goals.

  There is a problem, nonetheless. Dimension of the particular impact of the video or multimedia program is hard, as the manufacturing is commonly not used alone. Rather it is normally component of a bundle of various other product delivered along with the video clip or multimedia program.

  Ideally, we want to emulate large consumer firms, where extensive marketing research gives in-depth analysis of certain advertising and marketing and marketing methods. They can separate the effects of individual parts of an overall brand name advertising and marketing method, as an example. However this requires an extensive historic background as well as a large sample size to help separate variables as well as establish causal partnerships.

  Nevertheless, this is more bothersome in the business-to-business world.

  B to B companies seldom have the historical information to statistically isolate the domino effect partnerships of specific advertising and marketing elements. This is intensified since a new product or service intro is often where we see the merger of these packages of video, trade show cubicle, collateral and trade publication advertising. This makes historical comparisons greatly unnecessary.

  The opportunity to measure program performance is possible, nonetheless. Anecdotal evidence can be gathered from customers regarding what sections of the complete package made the most significant impact. This can even be formally measured with the use of surveys. Mix in an excellent section of sector experience and also common sense, as well as the sales or advertising and marketing exec can usually obtain a pretty good feel for the effect of the video or multimedia portion of the project, along with the other private elements.

  BLUNDER 3. JUST ASSUME THAT VIDEO CLIP OR MULTIMEDIA IS THE REMEDY TO YOUR PROBLEM.

  Not all issues can be addressed through using video clip as well as multimedia, to make sure that is why it is so vital to comprehend the response to # 1 and # 2 above.

  In the area of sales and advertising and marketing, video clip and multimedia can be an essential tactical part in the mix. In various other areas, such an abilities training, a video presentation might be just the ticket to be able to show correct method to freshly hired or promoted people.

  As a whole, video clip as well as multimedia jobs are best made use of where revealing the product, solution or process is advised. In sales and also advertising and marketing, a particularly reliable usage is to show items in use that are impractical to offer the potential customer for a demo. Throughout the years, we have done programs revealing hotels, huge production line robotics, tidy area processes, exercise programs, and numerous other areas where a demonstration in an office of the product or service is simply not practical.

  In areas involving interpersonal skills, such as monitoring training, video could be a component of the solution. Establishing the groundwork in a location can be an exceptional use of video, specifically if there will be lots of staff members with time who need this training. But for smaller sized groups, or for quick periods of time, role having fun and also other techniques might be called for, whereas video clip as well as multimedia would certainly not.

  BLUNDER 4. TAKE THE MINDSET THAT "IT'S SIMPLY A COMPANY VIDEO".

  Allow's deal with facts: your audience is included sophisticated tv and media visitors. According to Nielsen Study, the average American watches 4 hours and 35 minutes of TV daily.

  With your customers regularly pounded with video images, they are fairly jaded to "normal" video clip. They are sophisticated consumers of the media, so do not think that you they will certainly excuse shoddy manufacturing values if you want to provide an effective message.

  The obvious effects is that the more important the suggestion you desire to interact, the better the reason to have your video clip or multimedia project expertly created. If it's worth doing, it deserves doing well.

  I will certainly be the initial to confess that there are jobs that are exceptions to the "it's only business video" regulation. If you are just recording a technical seminar or other "mind dump" for future new hires or people that are out of community, after that by all implies set up the camera in the rear of the space as well as allow it run. However even if that holds true, please see policy # 7, below.

  Now that we have actually addressed the pre-production problems, allow's take a look at some significant production gaffes that will doom your manufacturing:.

  ERROR 5. SKIP THE LIGHTS AND ALSO OTHER DEVICES THAT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE THE PHOTO "POP".

  The current level of electronic modern technology is truly extraordinary. Residence video cameras are simple to utilize and also inexpensive, and everyone fantasizes himself or herself a TELEVISION supervisor. But as good as these video cameras have actually become, a professional, high-impact appearance will just come when added lights and also other devices are applied. Also existing reality programs are supplemented by lots of lights tools and other gear specifically developed to make the shots look excellent.

  Understanding how to light is a full art and scientific research unto itself. If you were to evaluate the motion picture credits at the end of a significant movie (without computer animation or special impacts) over half individuals would certainly be associated with lights as well as related locations to make the photo look perfect.

  Naturally, we're not trying to duplicate "Gone with the Wind" below, yet keep in mind that the photo that you reveal, is the image that represents YOU.

  Along with lighting tools, a few of the gear that may be called right into play includes soft lights, gels, reflectors, bounce cards, cookies, scrims and also light diffusion.

  In one shoot we did featuring Steve Young of 49er popularity, we made use of 2 huge soft lights as the primary lights resource. We have likewise have other "more difficult" (e.g. not soft) lights over and also to the left of this image - consisting of fill and also back lights.

  A light cutter at the top center is used to maintain way too much light from swamping the history.

  In an additional shoot outdoors, we sued a big reflector to the side of the subject in addition to a haze maker. The reflector is made use of to redirect sunlight for an exterior shoot. We additionally utilized a half flag, utilized to block and also diffuse a few of the light coming from a huge light (yes, you can utilize lights outdoors).

  While such an array of illumination and also grasp equipment is commonly not available for shooting business video on your own, it can enhance the photo drastically. And also if your spending plan does not allow a total video manufacturing staff to shoot the video, freelance illumination supervisors with rental tools are readily available, which can give a company video a look that will establish it apart from other a lot more unskilled initiatives.

  BLUNDER 6. DON'T Make Use Of A TRIPOD OR OTHER CAMERA SUPPORT.

  The pros understand that a consistent electronic camera is vital to getting a great, interesting picture. If the video camera is jumping around, the customer obtains sidetracked as well as commonly, irritated. If the visitor's mind is busy adhering to the subject around the display, it will not be concentrating on your message.

  At specific times, a moving video camera ends up being an art type, such as is seen in music videos. Yet company videos are not video. Keep the cam on the tripod and maintain the electronic camera movements smooth.

  When the pros fire, there are a wide range of camera mounts available for photo stablizing. These include different sizes of tripods, jib arms, cranes, dollies and a Steadicam.

  In some shoots we may make use of a dolly, with the camera operator on board, as well as the dolly hold pushing it on tracks. The dolly tracks motion efficiently, but as a result of the cost of rental and also both people needed to operate it, it can be an expensive addition to the program.

  We typically use a jib arm to make jumping and also climbing shots of a store facade, a, and so on. The jib can be rented out in numerous sizes as well as can develop a nearly 3D look. It requires an experienced driver.

  While the jib can move thoroughly around a topic, for true 3D views, a Steadicam is called for. This is a specific harness that requires to be used by a skilled video camera driver. It can give remarkable check out the topic, consisting of moving efficiently around them for 360 levels or more. Unless you have a Steadicam as well as trained driver, do not follow your subject around with the electronic camera - leave it to the pros.

  MISTAKE 7. USAGE THE ELECTRONIC CAMERA MICROPHONE TO RECORD THE SOUND.

  The fast enhancement and also compactness of video clip is additionally materialized in the audio that accompanies it. Video cameras today document exceptional noise. Yet there is a problem.

  The problem is that the audio source closest to the video camera microphone will be tape-recorded best. And this may not be what you want taped.

  Have you ever before established a camera in the back of the room to tape a live workshop as well as listened to the outcome? Isn't it outstanding just how the remarks, coughs and accidents in the back of the area audio so clear - and also the audio speaker is muddled at those points?

  I just can not count the number of times people have actually come to us to ask if we can improve the sound from just such presentations, and also other real-time events too.

  In short, the solution is unfortunately "No." We can not bring out audio that essentially is not there.

  What is the solution? It's all just an issue of microphone placement. In such a situation, you ought to purchase a lavaliere microphone for the speaker to wear. The mic is after that in place less than a foot from the speaker's mouth as well as will record clear sound.

  Another option is to make use of a mic on a boom post contemporary of framework. We've done this frequently, such as in the Steve Youthful shoot I pointed out earlier. The boom mic is usually just above the head of the subject, yet is cropped out of the fired by the video camera.

  Ideally when buying or renting a lavaliere, get a good wireless microphone. Don't defeat the function by getting a cheap microphone that feeds hums as well as hisses to your recording system. A pair of decent, yet low-cost headphones will let you listen to the audio that you are obtaining. If you do not get a clean signal, take the microphone back to the shop and also get one that helps you.

  Costs permanently top quality mics have come down dramatically over the years, so if you are going to do much of this kind of "talking head" recording, it's worth the tiny investment.

  Microphones are undoubtedly not just for boosting. You require a good mic close to the subject to get good clear audio.

  MISTAKE 8. LETTING YOUR IN-HOUSE "TALENT" JUST WING IT.

  Allow's encounter it, your associates are not professional actors, and they require some assistance to remember all things they require to say and do on cam. I discussed this just recently with another producer buddy of mine, as well as he commented, "If I had a nickel for every single time I shot an officer who claimed he can just talk off the top of his head ... What disasters!".

  I concur. Use a teleprompter. It installs in front of the electronic camera. Your exec or worker can look right at the cam and also review the words as if he were looking into the lens. After a number of method runs, beginners are usually comfortable adequate to blast throughout the manuscript. It's money well invested as it indicates much faster shooting, less errors, as well as fewer frayed nerves.

  And also if your exec looks tight or truly does not like the feeling of "reading" the words, we can put up bullet points or PowerPoint slides on the prompter to make sure that she or he can still appear to be checking out the target market. This avoids the trouble of the presenter averting to notes or hint cards and looking "shifty eyed" consequently.

  VERDICT.

  As always, the slogan of "If it deserves doing, it's worth doing well" puts on your productions. However there are times when a huge complete range production is not called for. Thankfully, it is no longer a matter of all or absolutely nothing when it involves bringing specialist production values to your job.

  You do not need to spend tens of countless dollars for a program.

  It surprises lots of people that are thinking about the production of industrial video clip or multimedia that there is an efficient happy medium that can be used. This can be a significant cost saver. This consists of hiring one or more experts to aid. This can be:.

  a producer/director to supervise your production,.

an illumination supervisor with tools,.

a teleprompter driver with equipment,.

a cosmetics artist to make your exec appearance "perfect".

an editor to bring together the footage you've shot into a crisp, efficient program,.

a visuals musician or animator to brighten your graphics,.

a duplication center to make mass amounts of your video, DVD or CD.

Via making use of seasoned professionals in some or all areas of your next manufacturing, you can make certain that you develop a program that fulfills your objectives in a reliable and reliable method.

Business Consulting Firms Help To Make Launching A Business Hassle-Free

The unemployment numbers have risen slightly and the economy appears to be fine although some things have changed. As an executive manager this figure is very important. If the figure goes too low you cannot find decent assistance to run your company and wages increase and that means it costs more money to produce your products and services. If the unemployment is too high then no one has a job and can't purchase your goods or services and therefore the unemployment numbers are extremely important indeed. As a little Business Consulting coach, I can confidently tell you that effective communication is at the heart of any small business. Improper call management will surely hinder the growth of a business and it's regarded as extremely unprofessional. Implementing a small business telephone system will help resolve the communication problem. The disadvantage of using the regular phones with call waiting is that you can easily lose a telephone. And it is not possible to have more than 2-3 lines.

A excellent consultant company will have at least one person on the team who has built a business and a successful one. They may not have sold a million-dollar concern but it might help if they have built at least one. Research into the background of the team members that is easy with all of the tools online today. Business Consultant s wear hats of many colors. They perform a variety of responsibilities that are beneficial to the company. When a company first opens up, one of the main things they concentrate on is advertising. Oftentimes, the owner of the business doesn't have the time to do this efficiently. A Business Consultant can be hired to handle all the aspects of advertising. They could do research on the region, the companies in that area and look closely at the demographics. Go with a mentor who has proven track of record and somebody who is known in the business community. He must have relevant college degree (accounting or Business Management for example), at least 10 years experience in running his own business, and relevant trainings. He must also be sought after by other business owners from all points of the world and he must be recognized by prominent organizations. Do a thorough study online and enter the title of coaches on the search page results. Through this, you will surely find more details about them; their accomplishments, their gifts in the business world, etc.. These information can definitely help you make a well-informed decision. In my own work as a sales trainer in the Atlanta area I regularly conduct custom training classes or new hire sales training courses to help businesses succeed. We've recently developed a complete line of products and information about business that you can purchase. We're expanding our consulting company and training other individuals about how best to train others in the world that want to start their own businesses. We're planning seminars that will offer a great number of business information to people that want to register for the actual courses we've designed for their own benefit. I hope you decide your small business consulting services business needs a web site. It is the best way I know how to reach a larger target audience with a relatively small investment.

hi! I hope I'm not bothering you but I can see ur attending CU. I'm planning on applying to either the school of art or engineering, but I'm leaning more towards art. I'm really at a loss when it comes to applying, home tests,and the general enviorment of the school.. and what to do after I graduate so I was just curious on what that's all like :0 sorry for making this so long .. thank u for ur time!

OMG THIS IS THE ASK I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR MY WHOLE LIFE I LOVE TALKING ABOUT COOPER

i’m putting it under a readmore bc it got crazy long??? i’m not even to the part where i yell about applications yet and it’s like ten paragraphs lmao

so. 

first things first. 

i applied to cooper in the first place because when i took the tour (best fucking college tour i took the whole time, by the way. all of the guides LOVE cooper and they love telling you about it, so if you get a chance, defo go on the tour bc theyre way more honest and you get a better feel for the school than on any other tour) one of the things that they emphasized was the student community., one told me that once when she walked into the EE lab and asked to borrow someone’s phone charger because hers had frayed so badly it wasn’t working. not only did someone give her a charger, but they fixed her charger until she could get a new one. 

and when i got here, it’s totally fucking true. cooper is a community in every definition of the word. everyone is totally willing to help you in any way that they can, because that’s the kind of people that cooper admits and then fosters that behavior. 

now. the reason they foster this behavior is because it’s a fucking hard school. the standard course load for a freshman engineer first semester is 18.5 credits, spread out over 7 classes plus a professional seminar. and yeah, some of those are only one or two credit classes, but they still have homework and class time. it is a rigorous schedule that only gets harder. professor alan wolf (physics, more on him later maybe? i have him next semester, we’ll see if the Rumors are true) said at an engineering faculty panel that he wants physics to be moved to first semester of freshman year (instead of second) because the transition from “an easy first semester” to a semester with physics and calc 2 was too difficult for a lot of students. everyone around me groaned when he said the first semester was easy. 

and this is just the engineering school! the art school is hard as hell too. keep in mind that what i know about the art program is just synthesized from talking to art students and not at all from personal experience. but. 

the first year of art is a foundation year. they assume you don’t know anything, and break you down to basics. the art ra in the dorms said her freshman year was incredibly hard for her both as an artist and as a person just because she was confronted with all these other talented people and having to face that she wasn’t The Artist in school anymore. i regularly leave the student lounge (menschel) at two in the morning only for art kids to walk in, holding all of their materials (although, not anymore, since someone got charcoal all over the tables in 3a lmao) and settling in for another all-nighter. 

cooper is a culture of intense rigor and stress, and there is no overcoming that. but it’s also a culture of community and supporting each other. it’s a really specific kind of school that some people find just isn’t for them. 

also, cooper is like, really small. like. very small. here are some of the things you will encounter because of cooper union’s limited budget and facilities, and which you basically have to accept:

no dining hall. there’s frankie’s cafe in the new academic building (also known as the engineering building, most commonly referred to as the nab) but otherwise there is absolutely no meal plan. frankie’s has like, sandwiches and muffins and bagels and (terrible) coffee, but it is in no way a full college dining hall. 

no gym. i think at one point we were allowed to use nyu’s facilities? no longer. almost everyone i know belongs to a gym. i myself visit the planet fitness on union square maaaybe once a month when i guilt myself into it. blink is a popular option. if you’re willing to spare the cash equinox is also there. crunch is the one that everyone kind of makes fun of but like it’s super close so go for it if you want. 

small supporting staff. this is both a blessing and a curse. i know everyone in the student affairs office by first name and usually they know me. i think at this point i’ve met everyone in the financial aid department. cool, because it means that they know me. bad, because it means i’ve had to talk to all of them to figure out what the hell is going on with my scholarships and how much money i actually know. this is not a school where there are online systems in place to fix any problems you have. you have to be your own advocate to the administration, and as much as they desperately want to help you, a lot of the time it comes down to just making sure your paperwork goes through. good news is you almost never have to make an appointment to talk to someone you just show up. 

very little interaction between the schools. there are three schools. art, architecture, and engineering. engineering is by far the most populated, followed by art, then architecture. if i didn’t live with two artists, i would never talk to anyone in art or architecture. yes, the hss classes are multidisciplinary, but just statistically, engineers far outweigh the artists. there weren’t even any architects in my hss1 class. if you don’t make the effort to reach out beyond your school, it straight up doesn’t happen. 

sometimes when you go to the basics plus to get some hangers because you ordered too many shirts online and now they’re just kind of shoved in your drawers and when the cashier asks if you have a student id and you pull out your cooper id she’s like “oh! is that local?” and you have to smile and say yes and when you walk out of the store you can see the foundation building down third with absolutely no problem

there’s more and i’ll think of them later but this is good for now

ANYWAYS i have a lot more thoughts on the culture of cooper??? but i think i’m going to leave it here because this is a decent overview of how i feel and what the most important parts are. 

now.

for applying.

again, i applied to and am in the engineering school. everything i know about the art school is based on talking to art students

also, i am in no way affiliated with the actual admissions department and the following is just based on my experiences as someone who applied and talking to other people who applied

also at first i thought you were applying this cycle and i was like. honey. this is not enough time for either application

BUT THEN i put an ounce more thought into it and realized not everyone younger than me is a high school senior lmao

anyways!

both applications are really intensive. to get art out of the way (sorry art) it’s a series of prompts that you have to create a piece in response to. some artists i know got crazy super stressed about it, and pulled so many all nighters, and skipped a lot of homework to do it, and overall just did not enjoy it. one of my artist roommates, however, said that she actually really enjoyed the process? she just let herself create without worrying “is this what will get me in?” and felt that it was a really great experience. 

either way, you’re going to have an interesting experience. 

for the engineering writing prompts, it’s a goddamn marathon. there were nine, i think, when i applied? i applied to eleven schools and i had to write seventeen supplements. the ratio of supplement-to-school was way off and its all cooper’s fault lmao

there isn’t a word minimum, but there is a word maximum per essay, a fact i discovered as i was copy-pasting mine into the commonapp from my googledocs file. i think the max is 500 words? not positive tho don’t quote me

anyways they’re all fairly standard questions. like, nothing out of the blue like chicago’s or whatever. but keep in mind that this is honestly where you’re going to get admitted. a lot of people apply to cooper. and a lot of those people will have the same exact stats as you (btw, sat/act scores and gpa matter slightly more for engineers than for artists and architects) and the way to distinguish yourself is through your writing. cooper admits you as a person because they believe you’ll add to their community and then to the world, not because you got a perfect score on whatever. 

so i, at least, let myself be a little freer in my cooper essays than in any other supplement. some of them i could answer right away (why cooper? why engineering?) and some of them i had to think about for a few days. the last one i wrote was the “tell us about something you read recently”. i wrote about staying up until three in the morning reading a novel and crying. i wrote it the next day because i realized that’s like, exactly who i am as a person. 

the biggest tip i have for writing these essays in general (not just for cooper) is to watch food network star or something similar. the contestants get prompted on how to hook an audience (hey, you want to do that too!) in a short amount of time (word count) and tell a story that relates to both them and their food (a story that relates to you and and why you’re going to be a bombass cooper student) like, just watch a few, and then you’ll kind of have the flow of it down, and you can figure out how to work it into your own writing

just like, really show who you are. i know it can be tempting to put on this facade, and to a certain extent you should (do not, for example, tell them about the time you got so drunk you pissed your pants) but do your best to express yourself, in either application. 

um anyways i am always down to talk about any aspect of The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, so if you ever want any more info on anything, hit up my inbox!

my points of expertise include the dorms, classes, stanislav mintchev the greatest math professor in the history of the world, ray’s pizza, sitting in the engineering student council meetings and listening to all the Hot Goss, and more

i mighttttt end up putting up like “a week in my life” post at some point because i always think those are cool and maybe it would be neato

we’ll see

(if anyone want to see that…… or anything else……. lmk……..)
