The former Premier League striker, who later moved north of the border to become a Celtic hero, revealed last month that he was set to join forces with rap sensation and Hoops fan Snoop Dogg in Glasgow, after the club secured Scottish Premiership success under Ange Postecoglou. He even pledged to fund some of the festivities with supporters. A shocked Savage then plugged his headphones back in and burst into laughter before holding an upturned chair to the camera.

Satellites zoom in on cities' hottest neighborhoods, some 10+ ... (The Conversation AU)

Spend time in a city in summer and you can feel the urban heat rising from the pavement and radiating from buildings. Cities are generally hotter than ...

Such work also serves as one of the best examples of employing satellite-based measurements to monitor and implement response to public health threats. In Indianapolis, local government and faith-based organizations have used extreme heat vulnerability indices, which use indicators of heat-health risk and past heat waves to highlight high-risk communities. Urbanization also contributes to the heat island effect through deforestation and the removal of other vegetation that would provide some cooling. That continuity helps scientists measure the impact of changes and track how development patterns change a neighborhood’s heat profile. Such materials are highly effective absorbers of heat energy from the Sun, and their surfaces warm rapidly and in turn emit the absorbed energy. The surface urban heat island is the result of surfaces made up of heat-absorbing materials, such as asphalt, concrete and metal.

Schools see value in connected learning spaces with Zoom and ... (ZDNet)

Zoom and Panopto helped educators survive the pandemic. Here's why schools are continuing to expand the integrated use of these apps, according to leaders ...

"I think universities and schools were kind of the last holdouts when it came to technology transformation. "For example," he continued, "we have a feature called smart chapters that will automatically index every slide that was shown during the lecture or during a presentation in a business scenario. For instance, if a student has a hard time keeping up with a lecture in person or on video, the system can generate captions and transcripts. [And] in some cases, Zoom can be set up to automatically record so they may not even have to click the button and it just shows up in Panopto after the fact." Zimmern that experience might become a relic of the past. And in some cases, that's still happening with new technology," Rich said. "The pandemic just really accelerated that process. With the Panopto system, teachers don't need to remember to do much in terms of clicking buttons or adjusting settings. They log in to their class, they click the record button. The integration launched in late 2019, just months ahead of the pandemic's emergence in the US. Notre Dame upgraded 150 classrooms to "connected learning spaces" by adding cameras, microphones, and audio equipment. Stacked together, Zoom allows teachers and students to have live, real-time engagement.

Zoom and Alcohol Don't Mix—Looking at Yourself During Online ... (Newswise)

Alcohol appears to intensify this problem. This research sheds new light on the relationship between mood, alcohol, and attentional focus during virtual social ...

“At this point in the pandemic, many of us have come to the realization that virtual interactions just aren’t the same as face-to-face,” Fairbairn said. Our work suggests the self-view offered in many online video platforms might make those interactions more of a slog than they need to be.” “This did not hold true, however, in the online conversations, where alcohol consumption corresponded to more self-focus and had none of its typical mood-boosting effects.” They were instructed to discuss their musical preferences and what they liked and disliked about living in the local community during the chats. Given reports of heightened self-awareness and “fatigue” during virtual exchanges, they noted, some have blamed virtual interactions for exacerbating those trends. New research soon to be published in the journal Clinical Psychological Science, found that the more a person stares at themselves in an online chat, the more their mood worsens.

Staring at Yourself During Virtual Chats May Worsen Your Mood ... (Neuroscience News)

The more a person stares at themselves while in a virtual meeting, the more their mood decreases, a new study reports.

Our work suggests the self-view offered in many online video platforms might make those interactions more of a slog than they need to be.” But there were significant differences in the amount of time individual participants spent gazing at themselves. This allows researchers to explore how self-focus influences a host of other factors, she said. And those who were under the influence of alcohol spent more time looking at themselves.” In the study, participants answered questions about their emotional status before and after the online conversations. Alcohol use appears to worsen the problem, the researchers found.
