Kristen Purcell was invited to speak this Thursday, August 12th, with the staff of the online news site Philly.com. She will share data on online news and information consumption from Pew Internet’s report Understanding the Participatory News Consumer (link). Kristen will highlight some findings about local news coverage that were not included in the original report. Roughly four in ten adults say there is currently not enough news coverage of their neighborhood or local community (38%) or that there is not enough coverage of their state (39%). These “local news enthusiasts” are slightly younger and more mobile than other adults, and are more engaged in social network site use and in commenting on and sharing news they find online.

Prospective U.S. Mathematics Teachers' Engagement in Handheld Cellular Device...Dr. Mokter Hossain
This paper presents quantitative and qualitative data that examine the prospective U.S. mathematics teachers’ engagement in the use of the Internet, hand-held cellular devices, and Web 2.0 activities and their perception of using these technologies for the teaching and learning of Euclidean geometry and other mathematics courses. The study revealed that prospective mathematics teachers in the U.S. have massive engagement in accessing the Internet and Web 2.0-based activities through cellular and handheld mobile devices as well as in their self-reported skills in using Internet, without any significant differences based on their gender. Prospective mathematics teachers experienced numerous advantages and a few minor problems of the blogging activity as a supportive tool in the Euclidean Geometry course. They found blogs a supportive and useful tool for collaborative teaching and learning purposes. Thus, they suggest that blogs and other Web 2.0 tools should be incorporated in the middle and high school mathematics education curricula.

Social Networking and its impact on Youth, Culture, Communication and Behavior
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In this survey paper, I concluded six research projects on Social Networking and its impact. The Social Networking has become increasingly popular components of our everyday lives in today’s globalized society. They provide a context where people across the world can communicate, exchange messages, share knowledge, and interact with each other seamlessly.
Not a complete work of mine. This is just a survey done by me as a fulfillment of my In course assessment. All the references had been cited.
Social media are interactive technologies that allow the creation or sharing/exchange of information, ideas, career interests, and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks.

Dangers of Social Media
The world has been evolving in a very swift rate. In just a matter of years modernization has reached countries with leading economies to even those that have limited means of communication or travelling. The last years of the 20th century and the start of the 21st century can be considered to be one of the most evolving eras of human kind. Technology and urbanization have just rocketed to the top, capitalism and profitability have become a priority over other thing and communication or travelling have become faster and easier. One of the main components responsible for all these changes is the computer and the internet, which has slowly paved ways of new online platforms like the Social Media. This innovation has replaced many different things has completely changed the lifestyle of people around the world. Businessman use social media to communicate with other personals, instead of travelling or one to one interacting with them. Online university programs have been created with the help of online video or audio calls, so students don’t need to be present in the class rooms during lectures for attending classes. This essay will talk about the negative and positive effects of social media on kids and adults, especially in the United Arab Emirates. The essay is opinioned, however to prevent bias, I have used sources from scholarly article to support my arguments about social media. The thesis statement for this essay is, Social media is very harmful for kids in UAE because kids get addicted to it easily and it can possess serious safety risks.
The computers were introduced initially in the 20th century for multiple reason, like the Enigma was used to encrypt the messages being sent by the German naval force during the World War 2. Moreover, the computer was also designed to help scientists with quick calculations and results. It is with time that new companies like the Apple and Microsoft, introduced new ways of using the computer. It was never used to be a tool of communication, however things changed further when the interned was established. Like, the computer, it was also very different to what it is today. The internet was used an alternate to phones, as the scientists tended to transfer their results to other places quickly by using it. The next stage was when smartphones were introduced and revolutionized the internet. Everything became portable, from getting information, to communication. Social Media was one of the main innovations during this time and it today, it can be considered to be one of the most influential and important inventions in human history. People of today, from kids to adults always have a phone with themselves, especially in developed and modernized countries like the United States of America, England and United Arab Emirates. Social Media is used by people in these countries in many different forms. YouTube is one of the most profitable and used component of social media today as it all.

Human beings are faced with numerous choices every day. These choices vary from the most trivial ones to the most important ones. One important choice (probably after the choice of becoming born again) is the marital choice, especially the choice of whom to marry. One phenomenon that is influencing people’s choices in this modern age is the social media in particular and the Internet in general. The social media and the Internet have influenced many facets of human endeavours. The contemporary marriage is not exempted from this influence. As a matter of fact, many people are now using social media to meet and connect with others and some of such connections have led to marital choice and marriage. This article aims at looking at social media and the Internet and how they are affecting the contemporary marriages both positively and adversely.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Editor's Notes
This isn’t an academic study, nor an in-depth review. It is a snapshot of key trends globally, user behaviour, attitudes and social change communication implications
Stand up/raise your hand. Only sit/put it down if you … Have never looked at a Social Network Site Don’t have a SNS profile Have less that 20 friends Don’t Interact with one or more sites daily Unless you’re already mentioned that you’re in this seminar via any SNS / twitter etc. Also: Where do you socially network? How do you arrange a party? Share holiday or baby pics? Would you tease friends or flirt online as easily as at a party?
Outline
Definitions: we also include communication which may start on non-internet channels, but which at some point makes significant use of the internet, such as MxIT as well as mobile phone text-message based access to Twitter and equivalents such as the Nigerian micro-blogging service, Naja-Pulse . (“chumby device is an internet connected digital picture frame and media access device”).
Some of the terms – see quiz for audience knowledge
The rapid growth trends we all know about. Note that these the data points represent millions
Note that the fastest growing areas are outside the OECD, notably Asia
Key change in UK. Nielsen quote relates to the countries Nielsen tracks (mainly OECD and including only UK, USA and Brazil of our sample countries)
Her’s an example of how behaviour is changing: in general trends shoe increased sharing and publishing media as a means to communicate
This is an extract (approx. 15%) from the Bibliography of the original UK Social Networking Literature review carried out mainly by Tim Davies; i.e., this section of the report has solid academic underpinning The larger sources are highlighted here. Following slides outline key findings about UK – a mature, or saturated SocNet market
Activity online isn’t different in type from activity offline. (In fact - many young people wouldn’t recognise the dichotomy) But - it is changed by being online: bedroom wall example -(Constant Contact generation)
Throughout the history of digital communication ordinary people have used or subverted digital technology to communicate and make connections, and will only adopt them when they meet such primary needs. The success of modern SNS is due to the fact that they exist simply to cater to our sociability.
Extract from Focus Group with girls in South Africa, Women’s Net Case Study.
[in Brazil]…a significant percentage of Orkut users are relative newcomers to the Internet …Orkut provides a simple, immersive experience that allows users with a low level of Internet literacy to gradually integrate the Internet into their lives with a minimum of expertise and training. […] The result is that a significant percentage of the Brazilian user base relies on Orkut as an alternative to the larger Internet. [..]
Pics, from top to bottom: Flash mob in NY Savvy-Chavvy: Social Network for and by Roma people in UK (note chav needs translation!) Brazilian based HIV/AIDS community on Orkut. The group, which has over 5,000 members and a predominantly gay constituency, provides a space for discussion and for media sharing – and for individuals with share interests, issues or concerns to connect.
An on-the-spot survey with young people in UK attending a youth festival But - we have to remember that young people see this differently. (in the same way workers might see their youth centre as being about personal and social development - and YP see it as a space for meeting friends and hanging out).
From left to right, and top to bottom Trends show growth on Internet access Two graphs show that access is still limited to a tiny proportion of Southern country populations Increase in Internet access over mobile phones Cost in relation to Gross National Income per capita
The natural tendency of Brasilian to absorb and mix/remix processes if available – particularly by means of dialogue and networked communication, online or offline - meant that this system was readily absorbed and taken probably in directions that Google were initially unable to conceive.
MxIT is a game changer
Snapshot from South Africa
Universal McCann, Sept 2008 from “When did we start trusting strangers? How the internet turned us all into influencers”
SNS have changed the campaign game – think pink chaddi and Iran. Thanks to Johnny Chatterton of the Burma Campaign and OneWorld Peer Exchange for the story of the Facebook group, “Support the Monk’s protest”
UK Govt-funded anti-knife crime campaign has Bebo profile as primary website – with blog posts, videos and other interactive media. 9,000 friends in 6 months Pink Chaddi Love Care Station – with forums profile pages created on Piczo, a SNS used predominantly for home-page creation by young teenagers, which are returned when searching for HIV/AIDS. These pages have been created by a man who has been living with HIV/AIDS for 20 years – and are intended to provide advice and support. The pages mention unsuccessful attempts that their creator has made to get support from formal agencies
