YouTube on day: Waching daily Nov 30 2017

Hey – it's Pastor Allen, and you submitted

some questions, and I'm answering questions.

So the question for the day is,

"How do we honor the Sabbath in the twenty-first century?"

Probably a couple of questions there.

How do we understand what the Sabbath is?

In Judaism, the Sabbath begins at sundown

on Friday and goes until sundown on Saturday.

In Christianity, we have celebrated, typically,

the Sabbath as Sunday.

The New Testament says, "Don't let anybody

judge you with regard to holy days."

So I honestly don't think it makes a difference

what day you choose as a Sabbath.

I think what's important is you take a Sabbath in your week.

And as I understand it, the Sabbath is a day

you set apart for the purposes of the Lord.

It's not really a day you set apart for

recreation or even your personal day.

But it's a day when you dial it back – you

turn back the busyness of your life, and you

make an effort and take time to think about

the things of the Lord – to give time, to

turn your heart towards the Lord.

You know, we can learn some lessons from Judaism.

They limited work and structure and behavior

– all kinds of limits around the Sabbath.

The intent being you would turn your heart to the Lord.

Any time you get rules, it can be more about

legalism than it is about the intent.

So I'm not really looking for the rules,

but I think the idea is that in every week

you take a day as a apart of your weekly routine

and let your attention be directly more fully

towards the Lord.

So the weekends are more than about recreation

or catching up on your personal stuff.

They're about giving God some attention.

I hope that helps with the notion of the Sabbath.

I want to pray: Lord, help us to honor You

with our lives on the Sabbath and every day, in Jesus' name, amen.

God bless you!

Keysight Premium Used Equipment: See Keysight's Refurbishment Process - Duration: 2:35.

Compromises!

When you buy something used you expect to make compromises.

Now that's the big difference when it comes to Keysight Premium Used.

This equipment really is like new. You may not notice any difference from a new instrument -

except the Keysight Quality label ... and the price.

You may wonder how this is possible?

Well, there are 4 good reasons.

Number one:

Keysight Premium Used instruments

come from the same manufacturing site as our new equipment.

Here in Penang, Malaysia, at our largest test and measurement site.

The instruments are refurbished alongside our new product manufacturing lines.

Whenever questions arise, we can easily talk to the engineers who manufactured

and tested the original product.

The second reason is that the same certifications

that ensure the highest quality of our new products

also guarantee the perfect implementation of our rigorous refurbishment process.

As the industry's most comprehensive remanufacturing process.

It includes:

a unique vacuum-based cleaning of the instruments,

a complete replacement of any damaged parts or assemblies,

performance and safety upgrades,

the latest compatible firmware and software,

calibration certificates with data,

and our final 101-point quality check.

Reason number three is that our

customers receive the same accessories as they do with the new instrument,

plus options for customizations.

As part of our extensive refurbishment process

we can add or remove hardware options, measurement applications, or software options.

So the customers receive a unit with brand new accessories

that is configured to their requirements.

And last, but not least, there is the same standard warranty.

We are so confident that we deliver a like-new product that we do

not hesitate to offer the same warranty that comes with a new Keysight instrument.

You see: There are no compromises!

Same site, same certifications, the same accessories plus customization options, and the same warranty.

So there are several excellent reasons to trust us when we claim,

that Keysight Premium Used really is:

Like new. For less. 100% Keysight quality.

Majors in Focus - Pyschological Science and Applied Social Research - Duration: 17:04.

Majors In Focus. Psychological Science and Applied Social Research

Hi everyone! Welcome back to our third majors in focus series. I've been having

a great time learning about these degrees and I'm super excited to be back

with Professor Ginger Wickline to learn about two more of our degrees,

Psychological Science and Applied Social Research.

Thank you I'm so excited to be here today. Hi everybody!

Uhm do you want to tell us about, a little bit about yourself?

Sure, so I've been at Miami for 9 years now. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology although I do a lot with

getting students involved in the community, working with some of our

groups on campus like our English as a Second Language students. So, I am the

degree coordinator for the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences and I'm

also tenured through the Psychology Department at Oxford. So, I'm in a really

good place to help advise students with deciding what's the best fit for them

and with a Social Research Degree whether that's Applied Social Research or ASO.

Our Psychological Science major which is our Psychology degree that students can

start and finish at our Regional campuses or the Psychology degree. We

have two Psych degrees at Miami, which is a little confusing. That students can

start at the Regionals and finish at Oxford. So, we're happy to be hosting,

talking about two of those degrees that are regionally granted today.

Yeah I am excited too. So, remember if you guys have any questions please comment below. We will

have time to answer them during the video.

We left off with the uhm, how the two majors are different, do you want to pick back back up with that?

Yeah, absolutely. So, I think we're about to look at the Applied Social Research

degree, which is a little bit more interdisciplinary. So, when students do

our Applied Social Research degree they're not only looking at how

individuals do things, but they're looking at how systems do things.

Okay

And figuring out whether a business is working effectively, whether a nonprofit

is meeting the needs of its constituents. So, within the Applied Social Research

degree there's a lot of data, focus behind it. and we do that in psychology

as well, mostly quantitative. The Applied Social Research degree does some numbers

analysis and also some qualitative review, where they're you know, doing

focus groups, asking questions, doing some interviews so, you

see much more of that focus in the interdisciplinary center, and students

are taking a variety of classes in the Applied Social Research degree that

aren't just one discipline. So, they'll take some sociology classes, some

geographical systems classes, black world studies, anthropology, sociology.

Okay

So, they're looking at human behavior from a number of different levels or angles,

instead of just from the level of the individual.

Great, that's so great. Thank you for clearing that, for clarifying that for me.

No problem.

Uhm, so what would pursue a student to uhm, major in Psychological Science?

Well we find that students who are drawn to Psychology tend to come from a couple of

different backgrounds. First, they're trying to understand themselves, their

families, and why they do things, or the people that they know. So, they tend to

have a lot of curiosity about human behavior, and some people don't realize

that Psychological Science and Psychology also can be focused on other

animal species, but we get a lot of students down and focus on why people do things.

yeah

Uhm, I would say another significant portion of those individuals

also want to help people. So, they're driven, they see movies about therapists,

or people who are working with individuals with disorders, or criminal

minds, and they want to find out what makes people act unusually, or abnormally,

and they want to do something to help individuals who are under stress, or have

disorders. So, while only about fifteen or twenty percent of people in Psychology

actually go into the mental health field. I mean helping people who are struggling.

Students tend to come in with that preconception that that is the only

thing you can do with a Psychology degree. and what they don't realize is if you

understand a lot about human behavior, and how we make decisions that

Psychology or Psychological Science is a degree that can lead you into 300

different fields and all be successful. Because, if you want to go into

management you have to know how to get along with people, if you want to go into

law enforcement it's good to know how to get along with people, if you wanted to

go into law or medical school or research. So, there's many different ways

where a background in a Psychological Science degree can help students whether

or not they want to become a Psychologist,

Yes

when they finish their degree.

Oh, I didn't know know that. I love this statistic that you shared with us.

Uhm, so you talked a little bit about the classes in the beginning when you were

talking about the two different majors, uhm can you maybe go into more detail on

what type of classes a Psychological Science major would take?

Certainly, there's a core of four classes that all students have to take. Our psych 111

uhm, which also has a 112 hour added on to it that gets them some experiential

learning. Either practice and research, doing some service learning in the

community, and that's the foundation course that all majors take to expose

them to the wide array of things we study in Psychology. Then we have

students to take Statistics 261 and Psychology 293 and to 94, which are our

statistics and research methods sections. And students do that whether they take

Psychology or Psych Science. Our first two years are actually identical so,

Okay

students, that can that was done on purpose, so students could decide when

they finish whether they want to take their upper-level classes at the

Regionals, Psych Science or in Psychology at Oxford.

Okay

But uhm, all students take

that base of statistics and research methods to understand how to think

better, more critically and how scientists use numbers to answer

questions. So, the data and the numbers are a means to an end.

Both of our degrees focus on science, both of our degrees focus on logic, and

answering good questions. You can't be a Therapist who just says well try this

therapy we don't know if it works or not but

yeah

you need to understand how we

figure out what works, what doesn't what are side effects, what are risks, and

those are the things that statistics and research methods classes help prepare

students to think well. We then have five areas that students have to take courses

in, social, developmental, individual like personality or abnormal, the bio

psychology and then cognitive. Again, thoughts, behaviors, feelings,

social angles to look at all the ways, that things influence what we do.

And then students take upper-level classes either in Psych Science and 300 and

400 level classes that are focused on specific topic areas. or if they're going

to finish at Oxford they take PSY courses. Again upper level classes, where

they get some choice

okay

so they get that breath of

things that interest them a little more.

Yeah, thank you. I like how you talked

about that they're both the same the first two years, and I think that that's

really important for students to be able to decide which path they think will be best for them.

Absolutely, the two most common questions we get is is

Psychological Science more science because it says science in the name,

Yeah

and it's not. We just weren't allowed to have two psychology degrees with the

same name.

Yeah

do the same things. Similarly students worry that if they

come to a Regional degree it's gonna be not as effective or not prepare them for

jobs or graduate school. So, sometimes they're like well but I want that Oxford

degree, it's gonna be that's the only one that can get me into grad school, that is

so totally not true. We have a very good success rate so far with students are

about to graduate in Psych Science with getting accepted into grad school, if

that's where people want to go. We've had very high hit rates or getting people

placed in the field because of at the Regionals we still have small classes

available, but people are really getting to know their professors, getting those

recommendation letters that get them on to their next steps. So, students should

not worry about quality whether they're finishing you at the Regionals our

Oxford, they're both high quality degrees that will prepare them for the next steps.

Yeah that's great. So, what kind of jobs would someone with

a Psychological Science major look for? There are a lot of possibilities some of

it does depend on how much more schooling they want to go to.

Okay

Like if somebody does want to be a counselor in private practice, there's actually

three or four different ways to do that, as a psychologist, as a licensed

professional counselor, as a licensed social worker. So, master's degrees are

going to be required for some things. If they want to go in just into research, if

they want to be in private practice and working with clients, those require more

training, but again there are like 300 degrees that students could do right out

of college with a Psychology degree and if anybody's interested they could

Google Drew Appleby Psych Job,

Okay

and you get into a list of things that one of the Guru's in our field Dr. Appleby has put together that has suggestions

for students. Some of the ones we hear students talk about the most are things

like a child development specialist, they tend to work in daycares and preschool

centers to work with young children. Child Life specialists that tends to

help work with children in hospital settings, to help them calm down and

understand the medical procedures. Substance abuse technician we have quite

a few students right now who are volunteering on the hotline at Sojourner

Recovery Services or doing intakes for them and working towards

their certification as a chemical dependency counselor assistant, which you

can actually do with a high school degree and specified training within

Psychology. And then the associate's degree or bachelor's degree helps

Yes

to move up in that field. Market research department manager, Human

Resources, social and community service managers, literally any job that you can

imagine needing to work and get along with people a background in Psych

Science could help prepare you for it.

Great, so now we're going to shift over

to our second degree that we were going to talk about which is the Applied Social

Research. So, when I think of the word applied I think of a hands-on experience,

so how is the applied Social Research major an applied degree?

That's an excellent question. One of the key things about the Applied Social Research degree

is the requirements have four to six hours of either an internship or

independent study, which we recommend students do in their junior or senior

year after they've got a little bit of experience developed perhaps as a volunteer. It's

one of those degrees that doesn't come quite as straightforward as Psychology

everybody here psychology and thinks they know what it means

Yes

but there's usually a lot more to it. But with Applied Social Research they could use

that understanding about data, and answering questions, and helping

businesses be more effective, and people do what they need to do in a variety of

settings. So, it's really crucial for our majors to get out and have an

independent study or internship with a research center, on a hotline in

partnership with local service providers that are doing work for individuals in

the community to help their quality of life right, and assessing whether that's

working. So, that's one of the key foundations of that Applied Social

Research degree. We actually encourage the same kind of thing in Psychology and

Psychological Science as well.

Okay

And most majors that I know of, employers

aren't looking to hire you if you took a test or read a book on the subject. I

mean imagine hiring a babysitter who said I love kids I took

test once and they got an A on it.

Yeah

They don't care. They care that you've

had experience working with people that you can get along in a team, that you can

solve problems, that you can work independently, you can strategize

when when issues come up, and those are things that the Applied Social Research

degree and the Psych Science degree would help prepare students for.

That's great I think preparing students for whatever they wish to do with their

majors is so important.

Absolutely

So, what type of classes would an Applied

Social Research major take?

Good question. So, we have a couple of foundation

courses there are three classes in Applied Social Research at the 200, 300,

and 400 level that students take so they get background with a variety of data

analytic procedures,

Okay

quantitative things, and computer programs that help

you crunch numbers, qualitative research so you can do focus groups and

interviews. So, those are three core courses. We also require another

statistics class and several sociology classes in research methods. So, it's kind

of a method heavy thing, we want people to be able to go out and answer

questions in a variety of different ways. So those are the things that all Applied

Social Research majors do.

Okay

They then take two classes that help prepare them for a

diverse and global economy. So, they have a host of classes they can take that

help them think about themselves as a person with culture, and how they

interact with culturally different others. So, those classes are in

anthropology, black world studies, geography,

Okay

political science, social

psych, you can pick two from that list, so that they're broadening their horizons

and understanding how they fit in an ever-changing world.

Yes

And then they

take fifteen hours, with nine hours at the three or four hundred levels in a

variety of our social science classes. Again anthropology, black world studies,

computer and information technology, english and technical writing, geography,

psychology sociology, political science,

Hi! Welcome back. We're so sorry that we lost connection with you guys but we're

gonna pick back up with Dr. Wickline and we're going to jump to our next question

with her on Applied Social Research, which is what kind of jobs would someone

with this major look for? The key thing with Applied Social Research in helping

businesses or organizations answer questions, is that there's going to be a

lot of data-driven things the students do. So, some of the areas that we would

see students with this major go into could be individual and Family Services

okay

think about foster care and whether they're taking care of their families or a

institution that works with people with disabilities and are they meeting those

individuals. So, they could help them figure out if they're doing their job effectively.

Social services work, health care and support people had background with a

little bit of medical terminology and took some of our health and information

tech classes, you know combine that with Applied Social Research they'd do well to

do inputting medical records, or looking through medical records to see if

they're effectively working with certain kinds of clients. Market research,

business and industry look all the time for what's selling and how to better

Oh yeah

reach their constituents. So, a lot of our individuals could go into human

resources, into marketing for corporate America and help them be more effective

at distributing their product. Geographic and information sciences, such as one of

the things I think is really cool. If students learn the mapping technology

they could actually help local organizations find out how to better

reach their people or provide the resources. So for example, some of our

Global Information Sciences students last year worked with the Butler County

Board of developmental disabilities, but to put together in the map in our

community. So, parents could know if my child has a disability where can I go

for various kinds of service.

Oh wow.

Where are the churches that have you know ramps

and disability friendly classes, where the medical providers who specialized in

talking and working with disabilities, where the summer camps, where the job

opportunities, where's the employment, where's that helped me grow for young

children. So, that kind of mapping technique can really help a community

know how to make the most of the things already out there.

Yeah, that's awesome.

So, that's one that we

think is really kind of cutting edge and helping students to understand the world were in.

Yeah

So, in lots of these places again whether it's for-profit or nonprofit

there are going to be going into business organization and saying what do

you need to know, how can we help you get that information.

That's great, sounds like there's a lot of different options for students which

is really nice. So, what would you say are the most common misconceptions about

both of these majors? Interesting, I think we've addressed it with Psychological Science,

Yes

Some how students think it's more sciency than the other psychology

major we have in Miami. When both of them focus on that. Students in Psychology

sometimes think it's a lot of art and Criminal Minds and having people lie

down on couches and that's a small part of but we do know we want to help expose

them to the many ways that psychologists help improve our quality of life.

The thing about Applied Social Research is I think students don't sometimes

understand how much analysis is involved in that.

Yes

And they have to normally have

the curiosity, but the willingness to have that rigor and like precision, to

answer questions well.

Okay

So that's one that both of our degrees

take a little bit of detail oriented people, and conscientiousness is good,

curiosity is good. But I'd say that what we find is usually people who don't know

what Applied Social Research tell me what that looks like and then

with Psychology they think they know what it is, and don't realize how much

more there is available to them.

That's great I think that you clarified a lot of those questions

for me today, which was really awesome. So, thank you so much for meeting with me

and answering my questions today.

My pleasure.

Uhm next week we will be back on Tuesday at 11 am with Janet Marshall

to discuss our Forensic Science major.

Why You Can't Win an Internet Argument - Duration: 4:54.

[INTRO ♪]

Let's be honest: we all try to win arguments on the internet,

even though we know it's pointless.

Sometimes when you're scrolling through your Facebook or Twitter feed,

bad opinions and misunderstandings just jump out at you,

and you have to set your friends and followers straight.

But if it seems like your impeccable logic

is always met with hostility and digging in—

well, that's exactly what's happening.

Psychologists have put a lot of thought into how people argue—

both online and off—

and they've found plenty of reasons why people rarely change their minds.

Part of the problem is that correcting someone

can actually strengthen the memory and influence of their original belief—

the one you think is clearly wrong.

It's known as the backfire effect.

A study in the Journal of Consumer Research in 2005

demonstrated this by giving 335 people a list of science facts and myths,

then clarifying right afterward which were true and which weren't.

30 minutes later, they asked half of the subjects which things on the list

were true, and they were pretty good at separating myth from fact.

But when they tested everyone else 3 days later,

that group made a lot of mistakes.

Specifically, they recalled a lot of the "false" statements as "true" —

but not the other way around.

Psychologists think that's because we use how familiar something is

as a guide to whether it's true.

And all you need to do to make something familiar is to repeat it.

This effect doesn't seem to always happen

when people's false beliefs are corrected.

Some studies have failed to find a backfire effect,

especially when the topic was political.

But pointing out exactly how wrong your Facebook friend is

often involves repeating their false beliefs.

And when you do that, it's possible that the backfire effect

just makes them more sure they're right.

Another challenge is that we all suffer from confirmation bias:

we can look at the same evidence but come to different conclusions

based on what we believe is true.

If evidence confirms what you already believe,

it jumps out at you and you pay attention to it.

Meanwhile, we tend to gloss over contradictory evidence

and just forget about it.

A 2013 study with more than a thousand participants

showed this with political beliefs.

People were shown the results of a fictional study about gun violence,

and were asked whether the evidence supported gun control.

But since the study was made up, the researchers made two versions—

one in which the data were in support of control measures,

and another where the data were flipped.

When people were then asked whether the study they read

supported gun control, the data barely made a difference.

If the person supported gun control, they thought the data did, too,

and vice versa.

Ironically, the researchers found that being better at math

made this effect worse.

You'd think people with better math skills would be more likely to

interpret the data objectively, but instead,

they tended to recalculate the information in their heads

in a way that justified their existing belief.

So even if you've got some super-solid evidence in support of your position,

showing it to those who disagree

might actually lead them to the opposite conclusion.

But if, despite all of this, you still find yourself thinking that

you just have to try to change someone's mind because dangit,

they are wrong on the internet, there is some good news:

There's also research on what might work.

One group of researchers analyzed a whopping 12,000 arguments

on a subreddit forum called "ChangeMyView" to see what the arguments

that successfully changed people's minds had in common.

They found the most effective tactic was to pick wording that was

unlike that of the other side, maybe because unfamiliar wording

was a sign that the arguments were new information.

Like, if someone's arguing that Kirk was the best starfleet captain

because he led with his gut instinct,

pointing out all the times Kirk's instincts have put the crew in danger

might not be that effective.

Instead, you might have more success arguing that

Picard always opted for the peaceful solution.

That kind of shift in language is more likely to change the person's mind,

whereas using really similar wording— especially quoting them directly—

is seen as nit-picking.

The researchers also found that when the original poster

used the word "we" instead of "I" to describe their position,

the arguments were less likely to change their minds—

probably because they were more entrenched in their viewpoint.

And if the debate went back and forth more than 4 times,

it wasn't likely to go anywhere.

So if you're still arguing on that thread from weeks ago,

you might just wanna walk away.

Even with the more successful tactics, though,

very few people were convinced to change their minds.

And a lot of people are going to this forum

because they say they're open to change!

So no matter how strong your arguments are,

it's probably worth picking your battles.

Don't get too discouraged when you can't change the other person's mind—

we're just wired that way.

And remember: all of this applies to you, too.

So every once in a while, you might want to stop and reevaluate

the positions that get you so fired up.

Because some of those arguments might not be

as strong as you think they are.
