Hi Steven,

It does appear this is an old fact sheet. The most up to date methane emission numbers can be found in this blog:

Tags: Math, science, climate change, graph, college, environment, videoscribe, animation

Narration: This is Steven Levy and this is stevenlevymath. This Video is about land degradation.

Narration: The data for this video came from the UN's report "Livestock's Long Shadow" unless stated other wise, 

Reference: "Livestock's Long Shadow" from the UN, page 29 to 30.

Reference:
Per wikipedia: total earth surface=510, water 361, land 149 in millions of sq. km.

Narration: According to Wikipedia, the Surface area of the earth: 510 million sq km. Water is 361 and land is 149 square km.

Narration: According to Wikipedia, arable land 19 million sq km, Pasture is 39, Forest is 48. And urban is 2 million sq km.

Reference, Wikipedia: Land: arable land is13% (19 km sq), pasture 26% (39), forest 32% (48), urban 1.5% (2).

Narration: 10.9 million sq km is degraded by water, 5.5 by wind, 2.4 by chemical, and 0.8 is physical.

Marblehead Festival of the Arts Comments on Website

Thank you for having me over today. I would like to help with MailChimp and testing the website on my Android. I can also interview three to six individuals from different age cohorts and summarize their comments.

Website comments:

Pros: Lots of great content

Con: Does not work with Android, essential information should be easy to find.

Suggestion:

Make homepage load faster. Use thumbnails. Make sub pages with links to content.

Make it easy and fast to find dates, schedules, prices (if any), parking and directions. Typical users expect to find information in seconds even in low bandwidth (cell phone only) situations. Ideally, an Android app for the Festival would be created.

Reference:

In 2014 mobile app usage exceeded desktop usage:

Problem Solving

Three Problems with Math:
(1) answering the wrong question (2) Mistakes in computation (3) Learning the wrong  methods

Students have one to two minutes to solve problems. Most math courses have about 15 types of problems.

Here's my advice:
(1) Read "Problem Solving Strategies" by Herr and Johnson.
(2) Thoroughly learn each type of problem and all its variations. Have at least two ways to solve each problem. learn how to estimate the answer.

During the test:
(1) Read each problem at least three times. More if you are an ESL student.
(2) Classify the problem by the types you have learned.
(3) Make a guess.
(4) Make an estimate.
(5) Solve the problem
(6) Does the answer agree with your guess and estimate? If not fix.

Memorizing procedures sometimes called "steps" is a loosing battle. The older we get the harder it is to memorize unrelated facts. Younger students might be able to do it, but High School and Adult learners could have problems with memorizing.
