8 Social Media Trends...
8 Social Media Trends Legal Marketers Should Look for in 2022
by Kevin Vermeulen | Jan 13, 2022 | Social Media
It's hard to believe that social media could become any more popular, but each year it does. The number of social media users is projected to be over 4 billion by 2025. Along with knowing that social media can help you to reach a larger audience than ever before, what else do legal marketers need to know? Here are 8 social media trends for law firms that are expected to be popular in 2022:
1. TikTok will become the global leader in social media.
TikTok has only been around a few years, but they've shown unprecedented growth in that time. It's the first non-Facebook owned app to reach 3 million global downloads. This isn't just a passing fad, because the platform offers unique functionality that can help businesses and individuals to make more creative content. In 2022 we expect that more organizations will investigate the ways that TikTok can help their brand. Plus, you can expect TikTok to have a ripple effect on other social media channels, as they develop new features to keep up.
2. Connecting with new audiences will become the primary goal of social media users.
Up until now, most organizations have said their primary goals for social media include advertising products or services and increasing brand awareness. Research shows that in 2022, more organizations will use social to increase brand awareness and reach new audiences. Your firm should plan to remain active and consistent, and also consider new ways to reach larger audiences and strengthen relationships with current contacts.
3. More law firms will invest in social media hires.
Social media has become truly powerful when it comes to expanding brand awareness, generating leads, and cultivating loyalty. However, tasking an already busy marketing team with even more social tactics isn't going to cut it. You'll see more organizations hiring dedicated social media staff in the coming years. A person committed to social can solve problems and help organizations to actually grow platforms and achieve goals. Outsourcing social media management is expected to be one of many social media trends for law firms this year.
4. People are highly intrigued by augmented reality.
AR is still somewhat of a novelty, but it's gaining in popularity. Companies of all sizes are using AR in innovative ways, and users are becoming more interested. AR has been shown to improve click-through rates and provide new ways of engaging. This trend is here to stay, though most law firms haven't taken advantage of it. Be sure to follow the trajectory of this channel to see how it might benefit your firm in the future.
5. B2B companies are likely to invest more in Twitter and Instagram.
These platforms are far from new to the social media scene, but business leaders are seeing more ROI from them than ever before. Instagram and Twitter both experienced increases in users as well as an uptick in the time that people spent on the platform. Research shows that these platforms displayed more of an increase in engagement than other social platforms. Whereas in years past, many marketers thought of Instagram as only a photo-sharing tool, more professionals are finding value in using the platform for their organization. Marketing professionals should plan to invest more heavily in these channels in 2022.
6. Social advertising will not rely on third-party data.
Google plans to phase out cookie tracking by 2023, and other privacy concerns mean marketers will need to pivot their existing strategies. Fortunately, there are a lot of highly effective advertising strategies that don't rely on third-party data. A focus on user-generated content, personalized ads across social media, and search engine retargeting campaigns are a start. Rather than relying on third-party information, it's important to develop a data-driven strategy that uses real metrics and an understanding of user interests and preferences on a deeper level.
7. Organizations will invest in more "snackable" content types.
Video is increasingly common and has become a social media trend for law firms recently. Brief but engaging content like short-form videos has become more likely to reach users. At the same time, long-form content will continue to play an important role, and live audio chat rooms will garner more attention. Essentially people want easily digestible information that is simple for them to find and take in. The bottom line is that you'll need to consider alternative forms of content in 2022. Test out different types of visual, audio, and written content to create a robust plan for next year.
8. Social media attention spans will shrink.
Even as social media audiences expand, the amount of time they are willing to spend on platforms gets smaller. The increase in short-form content like Instagram Reels and TikTok videos shows us that users are looking for quicker ways to consume content. Look for more ways to educate your target audience with short-form content that can gain attention quickly while people scroll.
At the same time, there are a few social media trends for law firms that are losing steam. Disappearing content (such as Instagram Stories) is likely to see less use, while interviews and expert discussions may happen less because they're quite time-consuming.
Generally speaking, you can stay in front of upcoming trends by leveraging video whenever possible and creating relatable, valuable content. Focus on quality over quantity when it comes to content production. No matter how busy you are, take the time to research trends and social media data to optimize your strategy.

In this post, I review 11 plugins I use or have used for my blogs or my clients' blogs that I know can effectively help you do all the three above – without having to learn a line of code.
A bar that does its job without interrupting the user or causing website issues will increase opt-ins and users will not choose to ignore it completely. Also, it offers your visitors an immediate signal that there's something important you are offering them, much more than your content, and that stays there at the top (or bottom) when they want to check it out after consuming your content – what Neil Patel calls a "nudge" (a gentle one) in his post The Power of The Nudge: How to Convert Visitors Into Customers. The Kingged.com IM community also uses NB (the PRO version).
Just install the plugin from the WordPress repository and search for Notification Bar in your Dashboard's left sidebar, under Settings. Click it and edit your bar text and how it displays on your blog. The image above shows how NB looks on my blog Berters.net: I chose a bottom position for this blog because covering part of the header would have damaged UX for how this blog is designed. In the screenshot above, I attached to the main image so you have an overview of the settings.
NB doesn't come with tracking, so you have to use a workaround like the ConverThis plugin (see #5 in this post), or you can create a conversion goal for a specific URL within Google Analytics.
Or you might create a Smart Goal. In Google's words, "[Smart Goals] measure the most engaged visits to your website and automatically turn those visits into Goals. Then use those Goals to improve your AdWords bidding." Proceed to Step 2 (Goal Description) and follow the instructions. For example, if you chose the pre-configured Contact Us template, it will ask you to give your goal a name and to select the type of goal (destination, duration, pages/screens per session and event). Step 3 is Goal Details. In the example I mentioned, that will be the Contact Us page URL. GA also gives you the option to add a monetary value to this goal and (optional) a funnel destination. You can then verify your goal and save it. ConversionXXL has a great guide on how to setup conversion goals with GA. You can read it here. Also, read Google Support's page for goal creation.
http://getconversion.com/products/gc-message-box/ When I decided I needed to add a CTA at the end of my blog posts, I knew I could just design a banner and link it to my offer, or use the PHP script I wrote for that specific purpose, but… what if there was a WordPress plugin that automatically inserted a CTA banner at the end of each post? That's how I found GC Message Box by GetConversion. You can combine it with conversion goals in Google Analytics or the ConverThis plugin (see #5 in this post) to track clicks and conversions. Overall, GC Message Box makes it easy to have a sitewide CTA that all your visitors can see regardless of what post they landed on.
After installing the plugin from the WordPress repository, go to Plugins -> GC Message Box and configure the settings (mainly General Settings, Compose Message and Style Settings). Pay attention to the Filters section, because this is where you will choose how to display your CTA box. I recommend you don't use animation (even though the plugin allows you to add some effects) because they can distract and annoy the reader.
This plugin used to have a nice feature that allowed you to link it to a set of analytics at MY.GetConversion.net to track your clicks and conversions at no extra cost. From my research, it sounds like it worked until 2013 and then it stopped for some reason (possibly undiscovered bugs). The option is still there but their analytics is not tracking clicks (I ran a few tests) so, unless you wanted to run a test yourself, I recommend to not use this feature and rely on Google Analytics or other analytics software with a working conversion goal tracking function.
http://themeisle.com/plugins/tweet-old-post-lite/ This plugin automates your social promotion efforts and it removes the difficulty of promoting older posts from your marketing plan. The day I started using it, I stopped worrying about how and when to reshare my old posts and I just let the plugin do it for me. Revive Old Post works with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing and Tumblr.
After installation, go to Revive Old Post -> Revive Old Post in your Dashboard sidebar and add your social network profiles under the Accounts tab. Then open the General Settings tab and set the automated share interval, the age of posts eligible for sharing, how many posts you want to share at a time, categories to exclude and other settings. The last part of the configuration is under the Post Format tab, where you'll decide how your social post will look like. Then, hit the Save button and "Start Sharing".
The first time I used Revive Old Post I made the mistake to set shares to daily. That setting is a good idea for blogs with 31+ blog posts in the archives, but it's dangerous if you, like me, run young or less frequently updated blogs with 20 posts or less. Your followers will see the same posts coming up over and over again and that is a big turnoff that might annoy them to the extent they will unfollow you. You don't want that, so be careful when you configure the plugin to do the work for you. If you have less than 31 posts in your archives (that's about 1 post a day in a regular month), it's better to share only one post every three days or once a week.
https://sumome.com When I first decided to give SumoMe a try on my new character blogs, it was after reading Brian Dean of Backlinko's story of how and why this plugin made a difference for him (and $82k+ per year). Very inspiring! As soon as I installed it, it was pretty easy and intuitive to configure. This is really an all-in-one kind of plugin with many marketing functions, from analytics to list building and social sharing.
Install SumoMe from the WordPress repository, activate the plugin and then go back to your blog Dashboard. You will see a little blue square icon (with a white crown inside) floating to the right side of your screen. Click it and create a SumoMe account, then come back to your Dashboard and follow the instructions by the "Sensei" (the SumoMe wizard). The configuration process is simple and intuitive, no headaches. Just follow the on-screen instructions.
SumoMe notifies you of new subscribers and it made it very easy for me to keep track of analytics and overall user activity from within my WordPress installation. Most of the functions are free to use so there is really no need to fear when it comes to this plugin. Of all the features, however, I recommend thinking twice before you activate Welcome Mat, because unless you have a really awesome offer for your visitors that you want them to see before your content, a full-screen CTA will only annoy them. Remember that users come to your blog for information first, and they will only consider your offers after you've answered their questions.
http://www.converthis.com I already mentioned this plugin twice in this post, as an alternative to setting up conversion goals in Google Analytics. ConverThis allows you to setup, track and analyze your conversion campaigns without leaving the WordPress platform. The analytics are pretty accurate, so you can efficiently measure performance.
Download the plugin from the ConverThis website, upload and install, then create a new conversion goal by clicking on Campaigns -> New Campaign on the left sidebar in your WP Dashboard. The screenshots above show you how to configure a campaign (it's easy to setup). You can add up to 6 pages or posts per campaign that direct to the same goal page. In the example above, I have one post linking to my goal page (a freebie), and the plugin tracked 4 unique clicks to that page.
This is a comprehensive plugin as it gives you all the tracking and analysis tools you need for your campaign. Under the graphs on the right side of your goal page, you will also find a button to export all your campaign data as a CSV file. To be honest, I've been finding this plugin a lot easier to use and manage than Google Analytics, but it would still be a good idea to also setup a conversion goal in GA and then compare results.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-subscribers/ When you're starting out and you don't want a fancy ESP for your list, PHP-based Email Subscribers is a handy list management plugin to have installed. You can collect emails and send campaigns. Having a newsletter or a mailing list is the most important asset for any successful blog. Your list will always convert better than any random visitor stumbling upon your page, because it's made of the people who know your value and care about what you have to say.
Install the plugin from the repository and configure the Settings (see screenshot above). This is where you will setup all your automated subscriber messages, so make good use of your copywriting skills to make these emails effective. You may also want to read Peep Laja's 14 steps to building signup forms that work at ConversionXXL.
This plugin includes it all. Only downside: if your host blocks IPs or email addresses, some of your subscribers will be cut out and they might not come back. Get in touch with your host to learn about their politics for email lists before you decide to self-host your own.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/popup-surveys/ MARE.io is a plugin that generates popup surveys and polls on your website. You can see how it looks from the image above. Popup polls and surveys make it easy to get feedback from visitors, and it gives them something even if they're visiting for just a handful of minutes. When users have a chance to speak their minds and get involved with your website, they're more likely to come back to visit, signup and grow into fans or customers.
Install the plugin and click MARE.io Surveys on the left sidebar in your WP Dashboard. It will ask you to register an account on MARE.io and setup your survey there. You will go through a setup wizard that guides you step by step to create your first survey and then you can create unlimited polls or surveys for free. You create new surveys directly on the MARE.io website.
MARE.io also gives you a way to make money from surveys ($0.05+ per answer), but I recommend you develop good blog traffic and get many responses on your own surveys before you try this option. The MARE.io staff will have your blog run through a test phase (unpaid) that might last up to 3 weeks to study your demographics before they assign paid surveys for you.
https://intellywp.com/intelly-related-posts/ Your readers will look for related posts in your archives, so why not help them and make the process easier for them? Inline Related Posts is a plugin that allows you to insert "Read This" boxes within your posts, in-context, so that readers can open them in a new tab as they go through the post they're reading and quickly move to them when they're done reading. How To Use It Install the plugin and then go to Settings -> Inline Related Posts to configure it. As you can see from the screenshots above, you can customize your inline box style and get a preview for it, even though the final style will also pick up from your regular CSS. Considerations Inline Related Posts works very well in its free version, but the availability of themes is limited to two. If that is a problem, it's possible to upgrade for $27 (one site) and get other features as well, like unlimited in-post boxes and featured images.
Upshare also offers an additional service for free users to help boost conversions – Sharing Rewards: This is a great feature to implement if you offer content upgrades or you are trying to promote a free downloadable product. The dashboard for Viral Social Media Buttons also tells you how optimized your blog is for viral growth based on the features you are using — for my BizCharacterBlogging.com, for example, Upshare gives 33%.
Install the plugin from the WordPress repo and follow the on-screen steps to setup your account at Upshare and get the code to insert in your WordPress theme. You can activate as many features as you like from the Upshare dashboard.
Some helpful functions are available for Pro users only, like In Content Share buttons and other mobile features, so it is a good idea to consider an upgrade if mobile optimization is vital to your blog and you can afford $12/month after the free trial.
https://www.powerwp.com/wpsocialstats/ Social Analytics counts your shares per-post on all major social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, StumbleUpon, LinkedIn, Pinterest) and the total number of shares across all platforms. Total Shares gives you a picture of which posts are faring better and where, also telling you about your readers' preferences among the content you offer.
Simply upload or install from the WordPress repository and update your social stats. You can update manually or automatically, but it's better to do it manually the first time to speed up the process. Social Analytics will always update your stats every 24 hours, but if for some reason it doesn't in over a week, update manually.
The screenshot above shows a column of N/A under Twitter, even though Twitter is the platform where posts from the example blog get the most shares. The reason lies in a change Twitter announced in 2015 that they would be discontinuing API support for the Tweet count feature. This might change in the future, but at the moment there is no way to count Twitter shares from the official API, so take the Total Shares from Social Analytics with a grain of salt. As an alternative way to track Twitter share counts, however, you can use NewShareCounts and add your per-post counts to the total number displayed by Social Analytics.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-pixabay-search-and-insert/ This plugin makes it very quick and easy to search and insert public domain (CC0) photos from Pixabay into your post. It saves you precious time (and money) that you can spend marketing your post. Images in your post attract visitors and make it easy and appealing for your readers to share it on social media – and yes, a social post with images also helps your fans improve their social channel attractiveness, so it's win-win!
Search for the plugin in the WordPress repository and install it. Go to Pixabay on the left sidebar of your Dashboard and follow the instructions to configure the plugin. As you can see from the screenshot above, the plugin will guide you through all the steps, but you can also read Pixabay's guide on their blog for more information and screenshots.
WP Pixabay gives you a quick option to insert quality pictures in your post, but these pictures come 'as is' – the plugin doesn't come with an editor like Canva that allows you to add text and other elements to the images. This might sometimes be a downside if you are looking for shares on platforms like Pinterest and Instagram and in all those instances where your image has to carry marketing value and not only attraction power. In this case, downloading images directly from Pixabay and running them through your image editor is a better idea. What plugins have helped you increase shares and conversions for your blog?

Renegades Game Review
Sometimes you need someone on your side who is willing to bend the rules a little to get things done, and that's as true of slots as it is of superheroes. Renegades by NextGen Gaming concerns a band of female fighters who as unconventional as they are stunning, but it's not these lovely ladies who you should be looking at as much as the slot itself: loads of ways to win, symbols of all sizes and free spins galore all combine to save the day and ensure you get a heck of a payday.
So are these the heroes you need, or is it all just talk? Let's take a look in our Renegades slot game review.
Most games put at least a little bit of effort into world-building, while some games make it into an art form, and this game is definitely in the latter camp. The Renegades slot game tells the story of an unlikely assortment of heroes from different times and cultures, brought together to fight the forces of evil and to win you some cash in the process. It doesn't go into too much detail about how and why this happened, but the ever-changing background combines something of each hero, with antique fighter planes battling dragons, the golden halls of Valhalla floating in the sky and cowboys fighting with modern weapons.
The many sized symbols mostly revolve around the ladies themselves, who are beautifully drawn in an anime style, while the lower value icons are just brightly coloured jewels. The cool animations and special effects also add some epic atmosphere to the theme.
While the look and feel of the game are undoubtedly cool, the mechanics are also pretty unique, and really add to the feeling of being part of something special. The most obvious difference is the layout of the symbols, which are haphazardly sized and come in formats from 1×1 sized all the way to colossal 3×3 symbols.
These symbols can grant you, even more, wins, generating some truly huge payouts all in the main game and without having to jump through any hoops. This is further improved by 243 ways to win. All of this great content contributes to a generous RTP topping out at 96.37%, which is nicely above average for a modern slot.
On top of the specially sized symbols that come in the game is a bonus symbol that allows you to activate a free spins feature, granting you eight free spins complete with plus-size wilds on top. At the beginning of the free spins game, you are able to choose one of the five heroines, which will make that character the only one that appears on the reels during the bonuses. This stacks nicely with the other features, granting you the chance to make even more valuable combinations.
The cool and fleshed out theme combined with some excellent art and design on top of some inventive mechanics and features make this game a real blockbuster, which is a true experience to play. The unimaginative lower value symbols are slightly disappointing, but you can't fault the way Renegades manages to stack all the different features to make for some truly amazing payouts.

Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict
"Reservoir of rage swamps Wall St"
The linguistic construction and evaluation of Occupy in international print media
Author(s): Christiana Gregoriou 1 and Laura L. Paterson 2
1 University of Leeds, UK
2 The Open University, UK
Source: Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict, Volume 5, Issue 1, Jan 2017, p. 57 - 80
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1075/jlac.5.1.03gre
Version of Record published : 02 Oct 2017
Originating on New York's Wall Street, the Occupy movement was "an international network of protests against social and economic inequality that began in [September] 2011 in response to the downturn of 2008" ( Thorson et al. 2013 , 427). Whilst there has been research on online activity in relation to Occupy, the scope of linguistic analysis to date has been somewhat narrow. Furthermore, the focus on new media has indirectly led to an absence of analysis of institutionally-endorsed traditional media texts. We adopt a mixed-method approach of corpus analysis and discourse analysis of national newspaper articles to answer questions such as 'Is Occupy associated with a semantic field of violence and aggression?' and 'Who is represented as having agency?' Our results indicate that, in our small corpus of media texts, Occupy and its supporters were predominantly portrayed negatively at the movement's height; even though protesters are reported to have been peaceful in their majority, the English-speaking media we analysed still aligns them with language suggestive of aggression, conflict and even violence.

Первая Вашингтонская конференция — конференция проведённая в период с 22 декабря 1941 по 14 января 1942 года, имевшая кодовое название «Аркадия».

Конференция состоялась после поражения немецких войск под Москвой и вступления в войну США и Японии. Была посвящена разработке совместной англо-американской стратегии в войне против фашистского блока на 1942—1943 годы. В решениях конференции Германия была признана главным противником, а районы Атлантики и Европы — решающими театрами военных действий. Была достигнута договорённость о создании высшего военного органа США и Великобритании — Объединённого комитета начальников штабов с местопребыванием в Вашингтоне. Военные планы, обсуждавшиеся на конференции, исключали возможность открытия второго фронта в Европе в 1942 году. Её участники ориентировались на затяжную войну и не предусматривали в 1942 году активных военных действий на Европейском театре, перекладывая всю тяжесть войны на Советский Союз.

В период проведения конференции подписана согласованная с СССР «Декларация 26 государств 1942 г.», по которой «объединенные нации» обязались общими силами бороться против фашистских государств и не заключать с ними сепаратного мира или перемирия.

От Великобритании участвовали: Сэр Альфред Дадли Пикмэн Роджерс Паунд, Сэр Джон Грир Дилл, Артур Харрис и другие офицеры.

Trpc1-Mediated Ca2+ Entry Regulates Metabolism By Modulating Adipose Differentiation, Autophagy, And Adiponectin Secretion
Anne Schaar
A multitude of organs play a critical role in managing metabolism including the liver, pancreas, gut, brain, muscle, and adipose tissue. Abnormal function in any one of these can offset the metabolic balance and negatively affect whole body function thereby contributing to the development of metabolic complications and obesity. Although no single metabolic abnormality is responsible for obesity, understanding how normal cellular processes are regulated provides us with knowledge to reverse them during times of dysfunction. The main focus of this dissertation is on the regulation of adipose tissue due to its dual role of storing excess lipids and endocrine organ capabilities. Adipocytes, along with a majority of other cell types, are highly dependent on calcium (Ca2+), thus the role of Ca2+ and the involvement of the Ca2+ channel Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 1 (TRPC1) were studied. The evidence provided in this dissertation shows that Ca2+ entry in adipocytes, especially upon store-depletion, plays an important role in adipocyte differentiation, autophagy, and adipokine secretion and subsequently metabolic regulation. The endogenous Ca2+ entry channel in both subcutaneous and visceral adipocytes was found to be dependent on TRPC1-STIM1 complexes and altering or blocking TRPC1 resulted in dysfunctional adipocytes.
Adipocyte differentiation, the process of pre-adipocytes converting to adipocytes, is a tightly regulated process with Ca2+ dependency. Blockage of TRPC1-mediated Ca2+ entry with SKF-96365 inhibited differentiation which was indicated by decreased lipid accumulation and expression of PPAR, FAPB4, and perilipin in both subcutaneous adipose tissue (Subc AT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Loss of TRPC1 in either adipose tissue type resulted in a reduced ability to differentiate which occurred prior to PPAR expression indicating TRPC1-mediated Ca2+ entry is necessary for the initial stages of differentiation.
Diets high in fat induce unhealthy expansion of adipose tissue, while exercise reduces adipocyte size and lipid content. Mice deficient of TRPC1 function and challenged with both a high-fat diet and exercise had lower fat mass and fasting glucose concentrations along with decreased adipocyte numbers. Further investigation indicated a decrease in autophagy with a concurrent increase in apoptosis. Together, this data shows that TRPC1 inhibits the positive effects of exercise under a high-fat diet-induced obesity environment.
Adipose tissue is an important endocrine organ responsible for secreting a number of cytokines, including adiponectin and leptin, which have a functional role in modulating metabolism. Secretion of adiponectin from adipose tissue has been found to be Ca2+ dependent, but the identity of the responsible Ca2+ channel is unknown. This study provides evidence that TRPC1 deficient mice have reduced serum adiponectin concentration which is believed to be due to an inability of adipose tissue to properly secrete adiponectin. Further, it was shown that loss of TRPC1-mediated Ca2+ influx is involved in SNARE complex formation necessary for proper exocytosis of adiponectin loaded vesicles.
Serum adiponectin concentrations have been shown to be correlated to adiponectin receptor expression, thus it was investigated whether reduces in serum adiponectin concentrations observed in TRPC1 deficient mice was due to dysfunctional adiponectin signaling in muscle. Within this study, it was observed that skeletal muscle of TRPC1 deficient mice have reduced adiponectin targets including PGC1α, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial biogenesis mRNA expression. Though data suggests AdipoRon initiated adiponectin signaling in muscle is Ca2+ and SOCE dependent, TRPC1 is not a contributing member as loss of TRPC1 did not inhibit Ca2+ influx or PGC1α expression indicating decreased adiponectin targets is likely due to reduce serum adiponectin concentrations.
Overall, evidence from the combined studies suggests TRPC1-mediated Ca2+ influx is an important regulator of adipocyte processes necessary for maintaining a healthy body.

As I am sure everyone is aware, there are two types of grammar: prescriptive and descriptive. Prescriptive is a set of rules which standardize grammar and determine whether something is right or wrong. Descriptive is a study of language as it actually is used to deduce a set of grammatical commonalities.
It looks like most teachers agree that teaching the descriptive grammar is more useful for the learners as communication trumps some arbitrary form of correctness. Why, then, are we teaching prescriptive skills?
There is no one right way to lead a meeting, give a presentation, engage in a negotiation, write an email of request, and so on. Research on discourse and the field of pragmatics help show something we already know... we change our language as we perceive the situation. This goes way beyond register and whether something is formal or not.
Some have argued that language teaching should be more contextualized to ensure pragmatics are included and students gain the skills needed to alter their language to fit discourse. This makes perfect sense. But sometimes I see materials which have "Key Phrases for Meetings" or how to write a formal complaint. This, however, adds a certain set of prescriptive rules for communication which may not always be appropriate.
A classic example of this are dialog structuring activities which allocate select phrases to students A and B to be used in a 'language flowchart'. The context is provided through detailed role-plays and case studies. But often I feel that these violate my "Train as you Fight" motto I picked up in the military. In other words, the training context should be as close to real-world conditions as possible - modified only for ability. This same approach is echoed repeatedly in other training fields when they discuss transfer design.
"Take this three times a day to cure bad meetings."
So, if the intent of skills training is to introduce as much realism as possible, it is best that it includes contextual concerns. This includes culture and relationship of the interlocutors, the communication conventions (e.g. structure, templates, etc.), intent, and desired perception. When we add all of these together, it is clear that there is no one best way.
The problem is the complexity of all this. How are we supposed to find resources for all of this information? How can we possibly create a list of phrases for meetings in every context? This would be simply unworkable. No doubt we as a profession have tried. One day, I would like to compile all the useful phrases for small talk in my library and see how we are doing.
Hard to describe but it looks like art to me.
The answer is two-fold. One, we have to accept complexity. We have to understand that by describing something we inherently limit it. By describing an effective presentation, we make all the other methods wrong. So what happens if one week we do presentation training and the next week we watch a TED talk?
The second part of the answer is accept that we don't know everything. The key to skills training is the students themselves. They can quickly offer all the contextual information we need and tell us what success looks like.
A key element of performance-based training is the assessment rubric. I have written a bit about performance assessment in two earlier posts (lessons from the military and assessing quality). Judith Mader has done extensive work on performance-based assessment in the field of pre-experience learners. She's even written a book about it. At the heart is designing a list of criteria and then evaluating whether the student met each of those criteria during the task.
So, my goal in skills training to develop a rubric which will not only assess the training event, but also give the learners a series of steps to successful fulfill the task. It also provides ample room for teacher and peer feedback. These rubrics can be extend to the right to include grading scales and exact performance measures.
So, how do we create rubrics without assuming too much about context? The answer is sitting right in front of us. They know the interlocutors. They know the context. They know what they like and don't. Let's ask them. By having an introductory conversation about the skill in context we can define the performance criteria together. Furthermore, they have a stake in the process and are more likely to provide constructive feedback and transfer the skill to the workplace.
With this B1-B2 class I had already conducted a needs analysis based on the communicative event, so I knew that requesting information from fairly distant colleagues was a common task. The lesson was only 60 minutes so I needed to keep the frame fairly small.
I started the lesson with 10 minutes of small talk and catching up. Then we came to the point.
Today we are going to write an email to request information. You have just received an Outlook invitation for a meeting in Munich on May 29th (Munich is about 2 hours away). You recognize the name of the organizer, but you don't know him. We are going to write an email to find out more about the meeting and if we should accept. I haven't included more information because I want you to fill in the details.
Then I created a mindmap on the board with "Request for information" in the middle. Above it I wrote "Preferred" and below I wrote "To avoid". We started by discussing things that should be included in the email (preferred). We then added items which should be avoided. As the moderator of the discussion, I made sure is encompassed linguistic as well as topical issues.
Then, they wrote the emails and I wrote one as well. I ran to the copy machine and make copies for everyone. While they were reading I marked the emails for corrections. We then compiled phrases used by the various students to be used later.
This simple mindmap exercise can be done with any communicative event. What makes a good meeting chairperson? What should they avoid? What is good when describing a presentation graphic? What should we not do? The teacher can help break it down to sentence level if needed. But it is important that they provide the contextual information.
Above you have seen a prescriptive rubric for a presentation introduction. I have also made such charts with the class. Below is a lesson example from a tax consultancy.
Today we are going to practice starting a presentation. You have been asked by the company to give a presentation to your client about new regulations on value-added taxes in Germany. You will have to inform them about the changes so that you can file the VAT returns quickly and correctly. Today we will practice only the introduction of the presentation... what you will say at the start. So, let's start by talking about what is important to have in this introduction.
After the conversation, the rubric looked like this.
So, as a trainer, I knew what to listen for. In this case, I actually put this rubric on the projector (I had a flipchart to brainstorm and projector to record) so that the small groups could give peer feedback.
At the end of both of these lessons, I left ample time for feedback and a chance to discuss what had happened during the training. These rubrics can also be used for review or building to a larger task.
Prescribing a most effective way is not always bad. Indeed, I use it often for certain groups. For pre-experience learners there is little alternative. For wide ranging need sets, it is sometimes acceptable. And I will also use it for remote training (e.g. eLearning and email coaching) where feedback is not possible. But this type of training is the lowest common denominator. It should be better.
The point is, if we profess to know the best way to perform a business skills, we place our learners at a disadvantage. Just like a prescriptive grammar teacher creates students who cannot operate in the real world, we can do the same with skills. We need to accept the complexity of our learners' world, acknowledge that neither we nor our resources know everything, and let our students define the context. Using the communicative event analysis provides us the tool for developing the framework materials, but it is up to the learners to take that step further to outline the rubric. Naturally, the trainer is contributing every step of the way, but leading by questions... not by prescription.

-Messenger photo by Britt Kudla West Des Moines Valley celebrates a victory against Waukee during class 5A championship on Friday at Rogers Park
West Des Moines Valley's bark got louder and louder as state softball week progressed.
By Friday night, the seventh-seeded Tigers were underdogs no more.
Feeling very overlooked and even a little disrespected, Valley used a rare opportunity to sneak under the radar as motivation when the postseason reset everything nearly two weeks ago. Now, head coach Tom Bakey's Tigers are champions for the seventh time overall and first since 2010.
Valley caught, then passed, then finished off rival Waukee on a picture-perfect night Friday, defeating the Warriors 8-5 in the Class 5A championship contest on Kruger Seeds Field — Diamond 1 — at Rogers Park. The top-ranked and top-seeded Warriors were the last in a line of rivals to go down at the hands of the 32-10 Tigers, who spent the entire year ranked in the state's Top-2 before a brief slump late transformed them from prohibitive favorite into a plucky, scrappy darkhorse.
Or so the narrative went when Bakey sold it to his players before tournament play began.
"We had a couple of awful days at the end of the (regular) season and had to regroup," said Bakey, who has nearly 900 wins in his Hall of Fame coaching career. "These kids could've easily let it get to them, but instead, they got back to work. And we decided to use (the questions) as motivation, which was only magnified by our seed.
"Our players embraced it. They took that underdog persona and ran with it. They were barking in the dugout and just having a lot of fun. The energy (in this tournament) was phenomenal from start to finish."
Down 2-1 after the first inning and 4-2 through two, Valley began to turn the tide against Waukee (40-4) with a relentless offensive attack and flawless defense. The Tigers plated two runs in the fourth, fifth and seventh frames against Elly Bates (21-2), who had beaten VHS twice during the regular season during CIML Iowa Conference race.
"(Bates) had our number up until (Friday) for the most part, but we got some good, timely two-out hitting and showed a lot of patience at the plate," Bakey said. "I think (No. 8 hitter) Gianna Lara's homer (in the second) really started to turn the tide. She hit that ball into outer space … I don't think it's landed yet."
Lara had four hits and scored three runs, while Hailey Etzel was 2-for-4 with four RBI. Star shortstop Alex Honnold was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs, and Maggie House drove in a pair.
Haley Gatica (18-4), a senior transfer from Ankeny Centennial, earned the win and had three hits at the plate. She was named the all-tournament team captain.
"We're living the dream," a hoarse Gatica said afterward. "This is just an incredibly experience. We put in so much work for this moment, but it's all worth it now,"
Gatica, a Creighton University recruit, then laughed about almost losing her voice and added, "I'm speechless … literally."
The Tigers, who started six seniors and three juniors in their seventh consecutive trip to Fort Dodge for state, recorded 16 total hits. They first took the lead at 6-4 in the top of the fifth, then added two insurance runs in the top of the seventh to all but end Waukee's title hopes.
Delaney Taylor had two hits for the Warriors, who went 2-3 against Valley and 38-1 versus everyone else on their schedule. Heidi Wheeler and Reagan Bartholomew both drove in a pair.
The Tigers were swept by both Southeast Polk and Fort Dodge to conclude the regular season. They exacted revenge on the homestanding Dodgers in the quarterfinals, though, and doubled up Iowa City High to reach the title bout.
"We never pointed fingers or got too down on each other. There wasn't doubt in our potential and ability," Bakey said. "I'm enjoying this immensely. We are truly blessed to have a community that supports and loves softball the way we do. Our program is very fortunate.
"We got back on track at the right time, the kids didn't stop believing, and we're going to really have fun with this celebration."

How to Find What Type of Laptop I Have
By Cindy Stokes
Second-hand and generic laptops are sometimes a good option for students on a budget.
Image Credit: Ableimages/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Identifying the make and model of your Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 laptop is usually as simple as finding the logo on top and the model number somewhere on the bottom. To find the model number on some laptops, you have to remove a small plate cover or -- in some cases -- the entire bottom cover. However, if your laptop is entirely unmarked, you can use the Windows Control Panel or the System Information tool to see all the details of your laptop, including specifications.
Finding Information With the Control Panel
Open the Windows 7 Start menu and open the Control Panel.
Select the group of options with the title "System and Security."
Click on the "System" heading. This opens a window that includes several pieces of information. First it lists your version of Windows and whether you have Service Pack 1 installed. Then the model should be listed, though in some cases, this field may be missing. It also lists some of the most important information for determining your laptop's compatibility with software or drivers, including: type of processor, amount of RAM and whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit system.
A shortcut to the same window, whose title is "View Basic Information About Your Computer," is to click the Windows button to open the Start menu, right-click on "Computer" and select "Properties."
The information accessed through the Control Panel is not a detailed picture of your laptop. For a more complete listing of information on your Windows 7 laptop, click on "Start," type "System Information" and select it. This opens the System Information tool, which gives a detailed list of not only the make and model of your laptop, but the name and specifications of every component and detailed software environment information. Use the tree menu on the left side of the window to navigate the information available. To view the make, model and basic specs of your laptop, select "System Summary" at the top of the tree menu.
Finding the System Information tool in Windows 8.1 is trickier. Go to Explorer and open the "Windows" file and find the "System32" file. Scroll down and double-click "msinfo32." This opens the System Information tool with the detailed tree menu.

Welcome to Wow and I hope y'all are doing well. In case you haven't noticed I am on vacay, well I was on vacay. We are on our way home now. Since I have been gone since Saturday I wasn't able to pick features this week because I was also computer free. Poor Mr. Savvy asked me before we left if I was going to be blogging while we were gone and I told him no, I won't be blogging. You know sometimes we just need a break from our daily routine.
Here is a photo of where we have been since y'all do need something pretty to look at. When I checked the weather before we left it was actually calling for warmer weather than we were having at home. I was really hoping to see a pretty snowfall.
Thanks to everyone who parties here each week and I'll be back soon!
Now let's see what y'all have to wow us with this week!

A new study underscores the imperative nature of a well-established—and adequately funded—risk management strategy. The study, "The Risk/Earnings Ratio: New Perspectives for Achieving Bottom-Line Stability," reveals the close correlation between managing property risks and earnings volatility.
The results are striking: Organizations with best practices in managing property risk produced earnings that were 40% less volatile than companies with less advanced practices, according to the report, which was commissioned by FM Global and conducted by Oxford Metrica.
"By pursuing strong physical risk management processes and systems to prevent the likelihood of losses caused by fire, natural hazards, equipment failure, human error and other perils, a company will potentially reap a measurable reduction in earnings volatility—the degree to which earnings fluctuate over a given period of time," says the study, which can be found at www.fmglobal.com/study.
The research also suggests there are negative consequences to cutting back on physical loss prevention resources. But how do organizations, faced with pressure to reduce expenses, decide how and where to devote resources to risk management?
One thing is certain: Resource decisions must be made methodically and logically. This month's cover story, "Safe and Secure," provides some guidelines and advice for assessing and funding risk.
The authors explain the logic behind one government agency's equation for calculating security risk management—a method that can be used by any type of facility or organization, regardless of its vulnerability. The subject of increasingly scarce resources is also addressed.
Another feature this month, "Fail-Safe FMEA," explains how failure mode and effects analysis can be combined with other quality tools to create an effective quality risk management infrastructure. Several quality tools can be employed in the effort.
On the flip side of our issue theme, it's important to remember that risk can be a good thing, especially as it relates to innovation. In a new column we're calling "Innovation Imperative," expert Peter Merrill highlights the importance of embracing risk to foster effective innovation. I think there's a lot to be learned from his unique perspectives on global innovation, which QP plans to publish every other month. Here's a first glance.

Connie- This is a tough one Annie! There are so many important things to tell your children. I tell mine never to give up on themselves. To be whatever they want to be and not to let anyone make them be or do things they don't want to. That family is important! But I think the most important thing you can tell your children is that you LOVE them. Tell them every chance you get! It builds self esteem and confidence and makes you both feel amazing inside!!
Daphne- love you! No matter where you go, what you do or who you are, I will love you. I would do anything for you. Nothing you can do can change how much I love you.
I may not always approve but I will ALWAYS love you.
wink emoticon do your best and never let anyone tell them that they can't. And to just have fun. Life isn't a guaranteed thing and it needs to be enjoyed!
Veronica- That I love them above everything and that they should always trust me to listen to any concern or doubt they might have. The last one is mostly to get them to tell me anything what happens at school (bulling concerns).
Kim- I have no children, so I don't know what I would think is the most important thing to share. But I just saw a quote the other day which I think would be appropriate advice to give any child. "While it is nice to be important, it is more important to be nice."
Annie send me a message to claim your prize!! And thanks for the great question!!
Last day to enter!! New challenge begins tomorrow!!
This sketch is from CasE This Sketch!
Please visit my page http://vickyscrappingpassion.blogspot.com and leave me some love too.
Have we got a hop challenge for you today.
Take the letters LEAP and create any paper crafting project; a card, a scrapbook layout, a journal page, etc.
Here is the trick....whatever you make must use L-E-A-P in it somewhere.
A lavender (L) card with embossing (E) and angled (A) with prills (P).
Get it. So who is up to the LEAP challenge. Throw a frog into your project and you've leaped right off the lily pad.
This was such a fun idea, I just had to rise to the challenge! And let me tell you it was kind of tricky to come up with some of these letters. LOL! And I didn't add a frog. But that's ok because I just adore my final project.
I used a wood burning tool to create my very first shaker card!! That's right a wood burning tool and I will post a video of that soon!! No need to spend tons of money on the Fuse tool.
The inside of my card is cute too! Sending love your way!
This stamp set and paper all come from Close to my Heart.
who is generously giving away a class of the winner's choice. Be sure to comment on each blog on the hop by Friday, March 4th to be entered. Winner will be posted on Theresa's blog on Saturday March 5th.
Here's today's line-up in case you get lost along the way.
I used CTMH glitter and regular papers, some Teresa Collins papers, and some WeRMemories papers. For the tags, I used a punch and stamp set from EK success, CTMH inks, and CTMH pink wool thread. This file was supper easy to cut and even score using my Cricut Explorer.
I added some homemade cookies, I decorated as part of a class by my dear friend Paula Chavart.
So glad you stopped by today. We have a special treat for you this week. Our own CONNIE is sharing a great project. It is how to make Washi Tape Tea Lights. Check it out!!
I hope you have enjoyed this wonderful project.
Don't forget about our monthly challenge, I DO. Share your Black Tie projects with us this month.
I hope something inspires you to get out there and get crafty today!!
When I came up with this theme I knew exactly what I wanted to create for you!
This was the first year my oldest (who is a Senior) attended Homecoming and he went with his brother (the freshman) and their gorgeous dates.
This SVG file was perfect for showcasing these special photos.
I didn't have the perfect paper for my photo mats. I compromised by using Washi tape to create the second color on my double mat. I am so glad I did. I love it!
I used my stylus tool to round the flower petals and give them some dimension and added some bling in the centers. The pink touch of the flowers blends in perfectly with my son's tie and his date's dress.
I love that this is girly and formal but yet I still think it has a masculine touch to it too because of the black and grays and that awesome background paper.
Hope you enjoyed my project and my handsome young men!!
Up next is my sweet friend Pam.
Here's some great freebies to try out!
How cute are these jars!? Head over to HERE to download your files!
I LOVE this sign! And when you go to her blog, she give you amazing step by step instructions to r-create this! Scroll all the way to bottom for the download link.
To go along with Connies upcoming hop, this topper would be fantastic! You can find it at Chicfetti!
I love flourishes! Miss Vickie's Crazy Cutting blog has some fabulous ones!
Miss Kate Cuttables always has her fun freebies as well!
And so does Paper Crafting World!
You still have time to enter Connie's monthly challenge! This months theme is I DO!
Pin It Today is my day to share something fun with all of you! My project is a twist on the Dreaming Tree Valentine Heart Box. Dreaming Tree is our sponsor this month. Please check out all the wonderful SVG cutting files Dreaming Tree has to offer.
I took the heart from the box and used it in my scrapbooking layout.
This is a 12x12 layout. The paper lines I used are Lost & Found and Teresa Collins My Story.
I hope my example of a different way to use parts of the 3-D file will inspire you to get out there and get crafty!
Don't forget to check out the monthly challenge I DO!! You will have a chance to win a $50 Gift Card from Dreaming Tree.
It's my day to post with Miss Kate Cuttables! I am getting ready to head to Florida for an Annual Quilter's Luncheon. I was asked to help decorate a few of the tables so of course I used some of Miss Kate Cuttables' darling SVG files!!
For my project I used the Ladybug file.
The table is going to be super cute decorated with two flower pots as centerpieces. And my adorable ladybugs on sticks will be the center stars!
Each guest also receives a party favor. So I created these adorable tea light candles for each person. The tag is special because, using my Cricut and Miss Kate Cuttables' font Tall & Skinny, I was able to write the theme of the event and the date. Did you know that MKC fonts work perfectly with your Cricut Explore and the pen feature? No outlines here! I love it!!
Don't forget the new challenge!! You could win $50 to spend at Dreaming Tree!!


But wait, why consulting for e-learning?
Why do I need consulting for my e-learning project?
When thinking about the development of an e-learning structure within your company, school, university, association or foundation you have several questions to answer to take the right decision about implementing the right infrastructure and/or define the course structure.
We are living in a rapidly changing and developing world. One of the most important values is time.
do this learning process in a most affordable, available and mobile way possible.
Clear, structured process in setting up your e-learning project.
Creative, motivated and pro active team which will support your ideas.
Keeping the agreed timeframe is our biggest advantage.
What are your e-learning needs? What kind of courses do you want to implement?
Depending on your training target group (blue or white collar, sales, the pre-qualifaction of them etc.) and the goal you want to reach, we will come with a specific concept on how to deal with the content and how present it.
What are your e-learning specifications?
Do you allready have a rough plan on what you want to implement or maybe even a specification about the future e-learning concept - e.g. technical & operational requirements, e-learning functions?
The course types as well as the technologies used are very wide. This will have a impact on the production time and of course on your budget.
What kind of learning management system (LMS) covers mostly what you need?
The market is huge and you can choose from open source to paid versions, each of them with his own advantages / disadvantages.
I am using e-learning! Does it work propperly?
We will support you in identifying potential improvements, optimize your internal flow, help with new methods or restructure / redesign your existing content (see why FLASH needs to be converted to HTML5).
Who will take care of my LMS and the e-learning content?
In this case we are talking about two different things: the learning management system (LMS) and your e-learning courses. We can take care of both, the LMS and update the content according to your internal changes, new governamental regulations or maybe a corporate identity change.
The maintenance of your courses will assure an up-to-date content for all of your users.
I have some more questions, who can help me?


As I prepare my first internship blog post for the summer, I find myself reflecting upon my first year at Babson College, and how the skills that I've gained will impact my internship experience. Just within the first few months of my college experience, I've discovered more about myself and my interests, and believe that my internship will further my personal and professional exploration.
During freshman year, I often participated in social impact-focused clubs, discussions, and events. I had also volunteered with a handful of organizations, continuing to build my experience interacting with nonprofits. In addition to these, I also helped to organize small events for the clubs I was part of and assisted in marketing efforts for organizations and their events. As I wonder what my internship will hold for me, I can already see that many of these experiences will be highly relevant to my job role.
This summer, I am fortunate enough to have a seasonal internship with MainStreet Hammonton, a nonprofit organization in Hammonton, New Jersey that organizes the town's events and happenings. Throughout high school, I volunteered often with MainStreet, and I also organized a partnership between MainStreet and my own nonprofit, Hammonton Helpers. While I was able to see the product of MainStreet's work in all of its events, I am excited to see the hard work that goes on behind-the-scenes. Many of the experiences I had mentioned before helped me to secure my internship and build confidence in my ability to help bring Hammonton's events to life.
Since returning to my hometown, the place where I've planted my roots, I look to the lessons I've learned in my new home at Babson, and hope that these lessons will surface in my work with MainStreet this summer.
Hey there, I'm Alex! I'm a student in Babson College's Class of 2021. I am also a summer intern at MainStreet Hammonton in New Jersey. I am passionate about writing, volunteering, and leadership. I'm an entrepreneurial thinker and I aim to make a positive impact on society through my interests in healthcare and education.

Is Zoom Catering to the Requests of China's Government?
"Zoom's millions of daily users across the world who support and demand basic freedoms deserve answers," wrote a group of US senators
By Lakshmi Iyengar June 13, 2020
Home > Daily Drip > Is Zoom Catering to the Requests of China's Government?
Video conferencing app Zoom has skyrocketed in popularity over the past few months of quarantine. But now, its relationship with China is starting to cause controversy. Earlier this month, it was reported that Zoom was closing Hong Kong and U.S.-based activist accounts after the Tiananmen Vigil held on June 4th.
In a blog post this past Thursday, Zoom clarified that the Chinese government did contact Zoom about four "large, public June 4th commemoration meetings," demanding that Zoom shutdown involved accounts. Based on the presence of mainland Chinese participants, Zoom decided to shutdown three of the four meetings and suspend their associated host accounts. In the post, Zoom acknowledged that it should not have shutdown non-mainland China-based accounts, and subsequently restored them.
Going forward, Zoom stated, it will no longer allow requests from the Chinese government to impact non-mainland Chinese accounts. Additionally, Zoom is working on technology to parse accounts based on regions, and by the end of June, will publish a new global policy at the request of the US government. The internet remained somewhat skeptical.
ZOOM is watching you!
The great example of Chinese censorship. Not only chinese ppl, but also the whole world will be affected. #BoycottCCP#BoycottChineseProducts
— Flora Lee✈脫離悲情文宣吧 (@FloraLee_hkers) June 11, 2020
On Friday, United States senators sent a letter to Zoom CEO Eric Yuan demanding legal clarification of the Chinese government's requests. They also asked for an explanation for the termination of Hong Kong-based labor activist Lee Cheuk-yan's accounts as well as those of US-based human rights activists Zhou Fengsuo and Wang Dan. The letter included other requests such as the number of suspended accounts, Zoom's data sharing history in relation to China, and what other requests the Chinese government has made of Zoom. "Zoom's millions of daily users across the world who support and demand basic freedoms deserve answers," the letter proclaims.
Zoom's relationship with China is complex, and many of Zoom's research and design personnel are in China. In April, Canadian research firm Citizen Lab showed that Zoom sometimes uses AES-128 encryption keys, which are in some cases sent to Zoom users via servers in China. Citizen Lab also points out that Zoom owns three companies in China. These conditions, some say, are why Zoom is susceptible to pressure from the Chinese government.
Chinese Company Sells Grindr for $608 Million Following US Security Concerns
In Thursday's blog post, Zoom said it "seeks to promote the open exchange of ideas." Ultimately, Zoom as a product is used by millions of people around the globe. These citizens are subject to individual national laws, putting Zoom in a tricky position as it works to cater to and connect individuals across vastly different standards of digital security.

Q: Update users in AD in specific OU with PowerShell Let's say I have below OU tree:

DataManagement
└─Country
  ├─Germany
  │ └─Users
  │   ├─Laptops
  │   └─Computers
  ├─France
  │ └─Users
  │   ├─Laptops
  │   └─Computers
  etc.

I would like to update specific container in OU, for example, users in laptops group in France. How to do that if I would like to import users from CSV? Below code check and update all OU. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to select a specific container. Any suggestions?
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$Userscsv = Import-Csv D:\areile\Desktop\adtest.csv

foreach ($User in $Userscsv) {
    Set-ADUser $User.SamAccountName -Replace @{
        Division = $User.Division;
        Office   = $User.Office;
        City     = $User.City
    }
}

A: Ah, it would have helped if you have shown us (part) of the content of the csv then.
However, i think this will work for you:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$UsersCsv = Import-Csv D:\areile\Desktop\adtest.csv

$SearchBase = "<DISTINGHUISHEDNAME-OF-THE-FRENCH-USERS-OU>"

foreach ($usr in $UsersCsv) {
    $adUser = Get-ADUser -Filter {EmailAdress -eq '$($usr.Email)'} -SearchBase $SearchBase -Properties Division,Office,City,EmailAddress
    if ($null -ne $adUser) {
        Set-ADUser $adUser.SamAccountName -Replace @{Division = $usr.Division; Office = $usr.Office; City = $usr.City}
    }
}

A: If you only have the SamAccountName to identify the user, you can retrieve the user account object using Get-ADUser and inspect the DistinguishedName attribute before calling Set-ADUser:
$BaseOU = 'OU=Laptops,OU=Users,OU=France,DC=domain,DC=tld'

ForEach ($User in $Userscsv)
{
    Get-ADUser $User.sAMAccountName |Where-Object {$_.DistinguishedName -like "*,$BaseOU"} |Set-ADUser -Replace @{
        Division = $User.Division;
        Office = $User.Office;
        City = $User.City
    }
}

It does seem slightly curious that they are releasing an expansion about the Dungeon split from Sylvan ... without a Sylvan faction in the game?
I would like to note that we don't know that it is a single faction expansion. I doubt they would have two and not mention it, but it is a possibility.
Maybe this new faction will combine our known sylvan and dungeon somehow, Alci, since they have to split ingame?
Perhaps to both. I guess time will show.
Edited by Elvin at 10:20, 05 Oct 2012.
When I wrote the headline the other day I linked the general discussion thread instead of this one, in fact I don't think this one had been created yet. I have edited the link but I cannot move the general discussion's addon-related posts myself - it would be better if you reposted them here.
You do, or we do? Nothing I read said that it was the only faction, nor were there any statements directly implying that. Don't get me wrong, I'm think there isn't, but I didn't see the possibility denied.
It's called reading through the lines. There is no chance ubi would miss the opportunity to mention it, especially knowing it would lead to negative reactions. Apart from the fact that expecting more than one would be unrealistic in the first place.
indeed and it's ubi we are talking about! it's even like a miracle that there will be an expansion and a release date. one for now is enough given the circumstances.
I was disappointed (relatively) with vanilla, and I didn't bother getting the DLCs.
But this is great news. I feel like this is a new opportunity to give the franchise another chance. Yeah, you can argue they've been given numerous chances, even with all the in-company politics that had happened. But I'll always have a soft spot for MMH. It's influenced my childhood too much.
...had I known, I wouldn't have bothered buying the original...however, it does kinda mean I'll probably wait till 3rd expansion instead.
& I thought the words used by Limbic? did not state Sim Turns and RMG couldn't be done...just present code makes it a little hard to implement...who knows how to read between some lines with some non-native English writers.
Edited by bluelore at 22:55, 05 Oct 2012.
looks like the faceless will be the champion of the dungeon,that probably means we won't get a dragon(unless we get one as a summonable creature,maybe even as an ultimate spell for one of the dungeon heroes).
I know it may be wishful thinking,but you never know.
A faction through a patch? When you get a 10-hour campaign of 2 maps for 10 euro? Funny man.
That plan to present user with factions through patches/free-dlc was stated by an employee of BlackHole. And since they've gone bankrupt and aren't involved anymore, that plan went out the window.
Honestly, it amazes me how often you see that particular bit of false information return. Even though it has become well known for quite some time that both BlackHole is bankrupt and not working on the game or anything for that matter, as well as the fact that this was never confirmed by Ubisoft.
Why does everyone seem to think that faceless will dethrone the blackies anyway?
Because of the statement made way back that we would not see Dragons return as champions. Though one would think now, certainly in line with Julien's remark, that this was focussed solely on the Vanilla.
One Faction per expansion would be ok if they released like 4 expansion packs, and the content of each pack was worth the cost. Low cost, or high content. Not that they would ever be that reasonable.
The faceless on the other hand are kinda new and original and they look awesome. I hope the other Dungeon units would be on par with them, any rumors on what creatures can we expect to see in the roster?
