Are you afraid of new technology

Introvert Whisperer / Are you afraid of new technology Are you afraid of new technology? Hi! Just when I thought I was past the need to learn some new technology for my business for a while, it seems that wasn’t in the cards.  I’ll tell you all about it below because it might be something you will want to take advantage of. I think the lesson in this is that you never stop learning and growing.  Things change around you daily and the best illustration of this is technology but its only one thing that changes.  Pretty much everything does. The deal is you have to be change-ready in life and work.  If you aren’t you get by-passed quickly.  Also, your life gets confusing and frustrating.  Imagine, not having or using the Internet?  Or not having a cell phone?  Or a car?  Life gets tough very fast. Obviously, there is some judgment that needs to take place to figure out whether or not learning something will enhance your life in any way.  But, staying open to change and having a willingness to change, is and will always be an asset for you. Do you know what your next career step is?  Many people don’t. I want to help you accelerate your career by connecting you with your Free Instant Access to my eBook on how to construct your Career SMART Goals â€" that will help you put together your actions and keep you accountable.  Get your copy now and start your action plan today:  CLICK HERE FOR YOUR FREE CAREER MAPPING GUIDE! Dorothy Tannahill-Moran Introvert Whisperer Here’s how I look at it:  You can learn something new and make the change that goes with it.  If you’ve given it a good shot and you don’t think it’s worthwhile, then stop.  Sounds a bit like quitting doesn’t it?  Maybe it is but I think you never know if something is going to work well for you until you try it long enough to make a truly informed decision.  I think there is a certain freedom in the idea that you can give yourself permission to try something and if you don’t like it or it’s not beneficial, then move on. Now you know and before you tried, you didn’t really know. So, here’s what I’m up to.  I’m going to start doing live videos on Facebook starting next week.  My plan is to do a couple of minutes of a career success tip once a week.  If all goes well, then I’m going to do a second live video with a tip and open QA for those who join in and want some answers to burning career questions.   Right now, I’m aiming for 4pm central.  I have to learn this first and give it a few tests before Monday but its technology â€" always filled with surprises.  To make this easy for you to check out, pop over to the Introvert Whisperer page and like it: Introvert Whisperer Facebook Page Wish me luck.

Z Score Table

Z Score Table Z-Score Table: In Statistics, we come across the word random variables very often. The term random variables is not like the variables we encounter in algebraic expressions. From a random experiment, the set of possible values obtained are known as the random variables. Random variables are the set of all the possible values and out of the set it can take any value randomly. For instance in an experiment of tossing a coin, there are 2 possibilities: getting heads or getting tails. Let us assume the value of 0 for heads and 1 for tails and have a random variable X. Then we see that the two random events are heads and tails. It is written as X = {0, 1}. Sample Space is the set of all the values of the random variable. These random variables can be discrete or continuous. The random variable in the normal equation is the normal random variable. The normal distribution function is given by the equation as shown below: Z-Score Definition: A z-score value is measurement in Statistics which indicates a given scores relationship to the mean. Out of several scores, the z-score indicates how many standard deviations a given particular score is from the mean. The z-score value is also known as the Standard score, z-values, and normal scores. Since the normal distribution is also known as the z distribution, hence we use the letter z for the score. Interpretation of the z-score: If the z-score is 0, then it implies that the score is the same as the mean. If the z-score is negative, then it implies that the score is lesser than the mean. If the z-score is positive, then it implies that the score is greater than the mean. If the z-score is 1, then it implies that the score is 1 standard deviation greater than the mean. If the z-score is -1, then it implies that the score is 1 standard deviation lesser than the mean. If the z-score is 2, then it implies that the score is 2 standard deviation greater than the mean. If the z-score is -2, then it implies that the score is 2 standard deviations lesser than the mean. Z-score formula: Given the mean and the standard deviation, we can calculate the z-score value from the formula shown below: Example: In an exam, a student receives a score of 88 when the mean of the class is 76 with a standard deviation of 10. How much is the z-score? Given the students score, x = 88 Mean, = 76 Standard deviation, = 10 From the z-score formula, we get the equation: z = (x )/ == z = (88 76)/ 10 z = 12/10 = 1.2 Therefore the z-score in this case = 1.2 With this z-score we can say that the student has scored above average (mean), with a distance of 1.2 from the average score. Mean: Mean is the average of the given scores. From a set of values, mean can be calculated by adding all the values and then dividing by the number of values in the set as shown in the figure below: Example: What is the mean of the values: 4, 7, 11, 10, 8? Given 5 values. Mean = Sum of the values/ Number of values So mean = (4+ 7+ 11+ 10+ 8)/ 5 = 40/5 = 8 Hence the mean of the given values is 8. Standard Deviation: The measure of finding how spread out or distributed the values are in a given set of values is the Standard Deviation. It is expressed using the Greek symbol (sigma). Standard Deviation can be easily calculated by finding the square root of the Variance. Normal Probability Distribution: Normal Probability Distribution, also known as the Bell Curve is a graph which depicts a standard normal distribution. The name Bell Curve is given because of its resemblance to a bell shape. Bell curves are extremely important and are very commonly used throughout the studies in Statistics. The two numbers that are necessary for plotting this Bell curve are the Mean and the Standard Deviation. The Bell curve (figure shown below) for a certain set of data always has the mean located at the center. This is the also the point where the curve reaches the highest point, known as the top of the bell. The Standard Deviation determines how much the given data set values are spread out. If the Standard deviation is larger, then the bell curve will be more spread out. A Bell curve is symmetric and hence when folded at the mean, we get 2 equal halves. As shown in the figures below, it is estimated that approximately 68% of all the given data lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean. And, about 95% is covered within 2 standard deviations of the mean, and about 99.7% is covered within 3 standard deviations of the mean. Negative Z-Score Table: The Negative Z-Score Table consists of all the negative z-scores. These negative z-scores are all to the left of the mean. Left of the mean is also considered as being below the mean. Positive Z-Score Table: The Positive Z-Score Table consists of all the positive z-scores which are to the right of the mean. These positive z-scores are to the right of the mean. They are also considered to be above the mean. Example: In the Science exam, the mean of the scores of the class is 80 with a standard deviation of 12. Jack scored 98 on the exam. What is the approximate percentage of students who scored lesser than Jacks score? Given the student Jacks score, x = 98 Mean, = 80 Standard deviation, = 12 From the z-score formula, we get the equation: z = (x )/ == z = (98 80)/ 12 z = 18/12 = 1.5 Therefore the z-score in this case = 1.5 Since the z-score is a positive number, we look at the Positive Z-Score table for the percent of students who scored within 1.5. As highlighted in the figure on the right, the value is 0.9332, which implies 93.32% of students scored lesser than Jack.

Integer Numbers

Integer Numbers Integer numbers are the whole number which cannot represent in fractions or decimals. Fundamental operations of integers: - Addition of integers: a) When integers have like sign i.e., when both the integers to be added are either positive or negative, add their absolute values and assign the same sign to the sum. Example: - Add the following: i) +57 and +112 ii) -32 and -83 Solution: -i) Here, both he integers to be added are positive and their absolute values are 57 and 112 respectively.The sum of their absolute values = 57 + 112 = 169 Therefore (+ 57) + (+ 112) = + 169 ii) Here, both the numbers to be added are negative and their absolute values are 32 and 83 respectively. The sum of their absolute values = 32 + 83 = 115 Therefore (- 32) + (- 83) = - 115 Thus, on adding two or more positive integers, we always get a positive number. Similarly, on adding two or more negative integers, we always get a negative number. b) When the integers have unlike sign i.e., one is positive and the other is negative: - Determine the difference of their absolute values and to this difference assign the sign of integer of greater absolute value. Example: - Add + 53 and 29 Solution: -The absolute values of +53 and -29 are 53 and 29 respectively; And their difference = 53 29 = 24 Since, the integer with the greater absolute value is 53 and its sign is + . Therefore (+ 53) + (- 29) = + 24

Who am I to Co-Found a Language School

Who am I to Co-Found a Language School Who am I to co-found an online language school? I sometimes wonder this myself, and I think that a lot of language educators would be skeptical of my background. I have a bachelors degree in English Literature, with a focus on creative writing, and a bachelors degree in Communications, with a focus on journalism.Before co-founding LOI, I worked as a reporter for 5 years at small newspapers in Montana, managed a group of websites related to tourism in the U.S. and Canadian Rockies, waited tables, worked front desk at a hotel, spent 6 years in the Army National Guard. You get the idea, none of it was related to language learning.So how did I get here? Its a good story.In 2008, my wife, Teauna, and I quit our jobs in Montana, put our house up for rent, and moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We didnt have a definite reason for doing this, but we knew we wanted to  experience living outside the United States, to improve our Spanish, and to try living in a big city. We figured wed go for a few months.It didnt take us long to realize that we wanted to stay in Buenos Aires for more than just a few months, and that to stay, we needed jobs. I found a job writing for a group of tourism websites, and Teauna got work teaching at an English school in our neighborhood. She didnt have a background in English teaching either  she has a BFA in Theatre with a focus on directing, and worked previously as a sales manager at a ski resort. But the school really needed  a native speaker, and we needed work, so Teauna learned on the job.Over the next year, Teauna developed a love for English teaching, and I advanced  at my job, eventually learning how to build websites in WordPress and managing a group of about a dozen tourism sites. In the meantime, both of us began 1-to-1 Spanish classes in person with Gisela Carreras. Shes a great teacher, and really got us to fall in love with Spanish  and language learning (shes now our director at LOI Spanish).In the meantime, Teauna and I were o n Skype, talking to our family in the United States. We spent a lot of time talking to my brother Luke about ideas for businesses. I had the ability to  build websites now, and at the time it seemed like that and an idea were all you needed to start a business.Over the course of 2009 we experimented with several business ideas, none of which produced anything interesting. Then, in December of that year Teauna and I were up late talking one night, and everything came together. We had started to get a glimpse of the global demand for English language learning, I knew how to build websites, Teauna could teach English, and we could connect with any student in the world via Skype.Our initial plans were small. We mostly thought Skype classes  could fill Teaunas scheduled during the holidays. But over the course of 2010, we saw more and more interest in the classes, to the point that we had to hire 2 teachers to help. After a month these teachers quit and tried to take all their students w ith them (thankfully they failed). We hired our next teacher, Muireann, who is still teaching with LOI today.During the fall of 2010, Teauna was stuck in another part of Buenos Aires because of traffic, and on the verge of missing a first class with a new student. I had taken many hours of Spanish classes by then, and had overheard a lot of Teaunas English classes. So, I picked up the headset, contacted the student, and told him Id be his teacher that day.From then on, I was  fully committed to LOI. I started teaching classes on a regular basis, and found that I loved meeting students from around the world and teaching them what I knew about English. I saw the enthusiasm our students had for our classes, and realized that this was what I wanted to do.I eventually quit my other job, and devoted myself to LOI  full time. This was not without consequences. Over the course of 2009 we lost our renter for our home in Montana, where the rental market had crashed due to the recession. It wa snt long before we had to make a decision. Go back to the U.S. and get real jobs to keep our house, or stay in Buenos Aires and keep pursing LOI. We couldnt afford our rent in both places. We decided to stay in Buenos Aires, right up until November of 2010, and stayed committed to LOI. In November 2010 we returned to Montana to sell our house.Shortly after arriving in Montana  we discovered we were pregnant with our first child. Around the same time we sold  classes  to 50 new students through Spanish daily deal site Groupalia (its similar to Groupon). So, by January Teauna and I were each giving 10-12 hours of classes per day wed sold our classes so cheap through Groupalia that we had to teach them all. By April our home sold and we moved into a small apartment but LOI kept growing.The company grew quickly in 2011, and by 2012 I had mostly stopped teaching so that I could focus on managing, marketing, and building our own scheduling and curriculum management system. Also, we hav e an amazing group of teachers these days who are much more experienced and qualified than I am.These days I continue to teach a few hours per week, mostly because I enjoy it, but also because I like to stay close to the students and know what our classes are like for them. I also have been taking Spanish, Portuguese and Mandarin classes via Skype for the last five years.Ultimately, I think the biggest reason why I am a co-founder of an online English school is that I enjoy teaching and learning this way, and my ultimate goal is to build the online language learning system that I dream of using myself. This isnt a goal that well really reach its going to be a constant process of refinement and improvement.
