The authors did a study where a group of students were given just 2 "transparent" assignments during a semester, and they were 50% more likely to be retained (to sign up for classes the next semester)!!!

It seems like anytime I get excited about something it ends up being HBO or Showtime. I'm So glad Good Omens is going to be BBC! I liked The Golden Compass movie, but you're right about them not getting it completely right. I was especially upset with the ending and everyone who hadn't read the books thinking everything was so perfect and happy now, when if they had kept going another few moments they would have known the real truth. I was so devastated the first time I read the book. I’m so excited about the new His Dark Materials series, but upset because of course it’s on HBO.
