Food For Thought - Thinking Is Optional

Ciao- Italian hello / goodbye, Chow- an old time name for food, Texting- communication with no regard to those around you. What would the Dalai Lama do? What 's the connection? Put your smile on and read why.

Hold on to your hats kiddies, N.J. has decided to ban texting while walking! Yup, cops in one town will be issuing jaywalking tickets for these dastardly offenders. It can be annoying, most definitely, to have someone crash into you while casually strolling along, it would be most distressing too, I imagine, to flatten one of these dolts when they walk in front of your car.  $85.00 is the fine, so as Bill Engvall would say...here's your sign! Using one's brain or thinking gives us a leg up on animals, right? So armed with that logic, look only down at a tiny keyboard while in the middle of traffic. These people are the reason for such ridiculous disclaimers as: Do Not Use While Showering (hairdryer), Do Not Eat (“peanut”filler in packing crates), Do Not Use On Teeth (power drill), Do Not Wear On Head/or While Sleeping (plastic garment bags). What cracks me up most is these are in place because of all the nutso's out there. Somewhere along the line a silly Sally or Ned the nincompoop, actually drank the damn kool-aid!!. Coffee so hot ...burned myself... sue Dunkin' Donuts! I got fat from drinking Pepsi 72 times a day...sue them. Ahhh America's mantra! But the lawmakers have trouble deciding ….nope... said I wasn't gonna go there today!

   Let's talk about food. Initially that was to be the subject. Food shows in particular, “Chow Ciao” being a favorite of mine. Can't quite decide if Fabio is gearing it more to men or if it is just his (very adorable) manner of speaking...it's always “you guys” and “do this for your lady”. Paula Deen has given us sooo many delicious recipes albeit most fattening. (look where it's gotten her) Rachel Ray, always racing the clock. Giada ...yummy, although I don't know why I ever trusted her enough to test, skinny biatch. It matters not whether I love to eat more than I love to cook. So anyone giving me an idea means I run madly away with it. (although not in the street while texting stolen recipes to my friends). Once upon a time the only way to communicate was speaking face to face, recipes written out and handed over to a novice cook. Watching the expressions as the realization hit that touching that dead meat was the only way it would become dinner, priceless!

   I know there are many more significant things to talk about. Much of it is tragic, you are all quite sadly aware of  bodies left on the roadside in Mexico, children starving all over the world...good ole USA included & yet I decide to write about food...yes. I could very easily jump on a soap box every day & scream about indignities, famines, filthy water and how we are destroying our world. Unfortunately, it would be little more than ranting for me and who would want to read the ravings of a mad woman...oh wait, you are reading, right now as a matter of fact! (You're not driving are you?)  I tend to make fun of things in general because that is how I am ..a seriously funny girl! Someone falls down the stairs possibly fracturing a bone....I laugh. Show me a picture of third world children drinking dirty water...I say, 'but look, her ears are pierced”. Something makes me nervous... I laugh, see an injustice... I want to sob,  just don't happen to think crying helps, so I make a stupid joke (or write a blog, perhaps nudging someone more capable).

   Remember “Comic Aid”? Robin Williams, Billy Chrystal, Whoopie Goldberg and a host of others raised money for the worlds charities all by being funny. (Nooo, I am most decidedly not comparing myself to these jokesters.)  That my friends is communication!!

   Sean Penn, lugging heavy sacks of food, John Travolta flying said sacks in his plane, Brad Pitt helping to rebuild N'awlins. The need for role models & heroes is real  putting aside whatever else is heard about them, I can very easily set these celebs up on a pedestal.

   We do need diversions as the world is still in need of repair, thinking only of despair & destruction will certainly make us loony.

   So make yourself a scrumpdeliicious (Dairy Queen?) sandwich, big enough for two, call afriend and watch a funny movie. After satisfying that hunger, you'll be armed with a better outlook and maybe remember to shut off running water while brushing your teeth! (see now that is helpful, saves your water bill & countless gallons of the world's precious reserve)

      ….and oh, by the way, the Dalai Lama is paranoid, believes China is poisoning him... don't hate me, but couldn't his re-incarnation maybe save us all! (see ...irreverent to the end)

         th- th- th- that's all folks! ...any thoughts to share?

                      Have a fabulous day!

The Truth About Being A Daring Kid

Ever wonder what ramifications would come about as a kid playing truth or dare? Of course not!! That, my friends, IS the beauty of being a kid. Should today's topic be “Whoopie, I'm running around in my undies”? Well, read on & decide; that is of course if you dare. HA!

Everyone has a story, a narrative or an anecdote about an unsupervised party in the cellar when they were children. Playing spin the bottle or T or D were fun when we were preteens. As we hit the “mall crawling/ driving the strip” years, many of us most likely got bolder or maybe just more creative. Here's my little ditty. (is ditty a story or a song, hmm)

  Senior year had ended, most of my crowd were actually graduated. A few were headed to college and at any rate we were all going to be split up. What does any red blooded American teen do to celebrate?...PARTY!! The last “hurrah” upon us, knowing it would be a long while before we'd see each other again, if in fact ever, was precisely why we decided a big bash was necessary. A favorite place to go had always been a lake house ... parents there you ask...pfft...where's the fun in that? Very carefully & conscientiously, we moved “valuable stuff” to a bedroom & called it off limits (we were out to have fun, not destroy property). Being the very clever & bright kids we thought we were, (recently let loose with diploma's saying so) food was prepared  for this shindig, basics like sandwiches, meatballs and pasta salad....'cuz we knew we'd be drinking and better to have something in the tummy to absorb the alcohol..(didn't think of how pretty it would be comin' back up)!

  Okay, now you have a picture in mind of the nice house, well fed talented kiddies all drinking merrily away, right? How many toast to us shots(never mind tokes) do you think it took before we were outside cooking on the barbeque pit and making a bon fire? Oh yeah, see I knew you'd be right there with me!! Now we're telling ghost stories, complete with the one about “the crazy monk” (yes yes, everybody knows that story...fill in your own city/lane/woods).

  Whoo hoo now Suzie Q decides we should meander back to the days of our youth TRUTH or DARE..ooh ooh pick me...I'll take a dare..... steal a sign from the lake. Now mind you these are not little tin jobs, these are solid wooden & beautifully hand-carved. I am up for this, oh soo up for it. So was Suzie Q, “they are really heavy & you may need help”, slurs she. Falling over ourselves through the sandy lanes we finally get to a “no doing anything involving having fun” sign. Then debated on the best way to remove this 3'x 4', bolted with a 3”x 10” screw into a metal pole up off the ground by about 5' bohemoth. (I honestly can't guarantee the dimensions, it was a loong time ago plus all those toast to us shots may have clouded the already foggy brain) . Nonetheless down it came after leg ups, pushing, pulling, yanking, falling, laughing and every other silliness. The best part though was when we spied the cop. Nooo problem, we took our clothes off, as our underwear looked like bathing suits, we were quite confidant we'd blend in, plus the jeans & tshirts wrapped around the sign would camouflage it. Slier girls they never had in the Lake Jail. We got are 2 phone calls. Suzie called home...I called the lake house, being conscientious demands it...plus someone had to go get my sign!!

  Have a fabulous day everyone, I'll just grab the wine (not shot) sitting on my coffee table; of course it's the refinished lake sign (God bless old friends)!!

Newsworthy Hero's

Stop the presses! News topics of late? Hilary Clinton wore no make-up! Doesn't that just make you want to “lose your lunch”!? Of all the goings on in the world we come up with this. Ok ok cool your jets, I know it wasn't the only story but it does seem to be the norm for today's happy gossipers, of this group you do not belong I'm quite sure. You have intelligence and if you do read tabloid tidbits, it's because you have an inquiring mind...at least that's what I tell myself while perusing the drivel on NEWS sites. Women today still need heroes and I'll take Hilary over Sarah anyolddamnday! Should the article have been about her maneuverings with a blind dissident? Well, I guess that's where the matter of choice comes in. The reporters choice of content, the reader's decision for worthiness or Hilary's opting to respond . In my opinion, she did magnificently..”I'm of an age if I want to wear glasses & pull my hair back, I will” I paraphrase of course, but you get the drift, yeah? I still believe that looks should not matter, but let's not beat that horse again. Suffice it to say today's journalists are more of a minority weighing in against their “distant cousins” the reporters or talking heads.

   Yesterday I dragged myself to the registry of motor vehicles, in the days when David Bowie was on the top 40 a trip to the RMV (or DMV as it was then) was ab-so- tively hellacious. Seriously, those people had to take mean classes as a prerequisite for a job there! Not so true anymore. First through the door a bit of a line formed, which did indeed move right along. My turn at the customer service desk found a young woman smiling (yes, you heard correctly) and asking if she could help me. Unheard of! Two minutes later I was on the bench awaiting my turn for Robert the rude or Ida the impatient! Instead, after a mere 20 minutes, I was pleasantly surprised with Suzie the sweet...I know, whooda thunk it? Talk about your ch-ch-ch-changes. We chatted even...I said her ring was beautiful, she said someone told her it looked like a tiara, which prompted my bringing up the Big Bang Theory's episode where Sheldon buys Amy Farrah Fowler an actual tiara. Seriously, chatting at the RMV with a person who all the while was doing her job. I was stunned. After walking out I started thinking of other people who make life's snafu's and tedium’s tolerable if not downright enjoyable. Two ladies at my branch library jump to mind. Once a week I watch these sometime saints deal with rudeness, but more so with chatty types (like me) who often tie up their work day. Yet these beauties are never short with anyone and will always go the extra mile to find that obscure book or what have you. (heroes) There are more, many more in fact when I stop my yap long enough to think! Do we want the so called celebs of today becoming role models for our youth? God I hope not. The 4 women in my rantings of today have more charm, class and sincerity than 20 each of the types that are thrown in the faces of our kids every day. Naming them gives more notoriety and since they are already daily news, I am positive it isn't even necessary......oops, this stop, tirade city,!! My point was heroes...we have them, they are all around us, just need to filter through for quality. Set them up somehow for the kiddies to take notice.

  Wow, this sooo wasn't the planed agenda. Oh well, it's not a seminar on rocket science...just a few minutes for a chuckle. Did I succeed ? Anyone smilin'? Tell me ...who do you admire? There are many men out there on my list as well, today just happened to call  the females to my feeble mind.  

   Here's a little side bar that guarantees a grin at least. Once in the house at the end of the RMV trek, the realization that my favorite jeans (old to the point of threadbare) were ripped  (not weight gain). When did it happen? Was I walking around all day calling attention to my big ole butt? Should I be horrified? Later, after speaking with my son (who had picked me up from the registry) told me he had in fact noticed and I would see for myself as the picture he took went viral.....HA, funny guy...then admitted most likely it happened when I dropped my phone and stooped to retrieve it.... my hero!!!

Play Nice We're All Too Human!

Happy belated Cinco de Mayo amigos/amigas.

    Writing about the day & how it came about, eventually wishing margaritas all around, was my plan 10 days ago ….but on the sidetrack is where I ended up, per usual, thus indulging myself with yesterday's Hippie theme. By the by, it was Arte Johnson not Artie Shaw who was the funny guy in Laugh In. .....no I was NOT sampling or doing product research for my ramblings!! It's quite obvious I don't do any research for these rantings, who am I Pearl Buck ? Not hardly, I may be able to relate a few stories about the goings on on the good earth, but that's as far as that goes (ok, ok, maybe not even that far)!! Jazz was wafting softly from my computer speakers so my brain naturally leapt to the musician, drowning out Arte's proper name. (that's my story & I'm stickin' to it)

   Anyway, back to the Mexican holiday, a blue million stories go out on all of these celebratory days and one more from me would certainly not be missed. I guess my fear also was to bring these two (Margarita & MaryJane) together. Talk about leaps ... the content of my blurp* was laced with marijuana and anyone jumping on the “Cartel Wagon” would definitely ruin my fun. I am of the belief that all Mexicans are not smugglers, all Italians are not Mafia and not all Irish are drunks, a little first hand knowledge comes in on that last one. Priests and police come out of that particular group at a whopping rate, pfft need a better reason to imbibe?? Every ethnicity will be disparaged in some way shape or form, so I'll limit myself to these for today. Coming to mind should be adages like: better to give than receive, treat others as you wish to be treated (maybe I should save this for Sunday when Mimosa's and epistles are called for, right?) throw in all that glitters is not gold and you've got a pretty good balance.

   We're not robots, human definition demands that we should all play nice together. Whatever the color of the skin, the blood coursing through each and every one of us is red. Some are influenced by color, even green! Whether it be money or envy. Oh look red/green, is it Christmas?? Maybe we should treat each other always as if it were. (don't mean to leave any one ethnic group out now, sooo...  replace Xmas with your holiday for special kindness here!)

Bigotry is not just a mistake it may be ingrained or passed down, but the ability to think is what makes us human, using that thought process will bring about change & if not... let them be pummeled with funny stones til they do!!

   Holy buckets this is turning into a sermon! Just so you know, I'm not a religious sort. Belief in the fact that we all need a faith of any type, and that that will hold us together, is where I come from. No panicking ... while the future may hold more Sundaylike dissertations, at least you don't actually have to sit in church/temple/mosque and listen...you can simply click off.

You have to survive everyday even when you do not understand what everyone else in the room is saying, except for the writing tips you found on http://www.a-writer.com/articles.

The APM Competence Framework, primarily based throughout the APM Physique of data fifth version is by and large a customized variation with all the IPMA Competence Baseline. The APM edition has precisely the equivalent framework, but incorporates a singular founded of competence sections. The freely-available APM’s self-assessment assortment displays the general composition and names of each and every on the competence elements.

They are typically all wonderful competency frameworks, and every can be the consequence of considerable evaluate and take a look at. The APM and PMI frameworks should be ordered; even so, the value they supply is significant compared to their moderately small value. These frameworks all endure just one notable downside: they are all oriented to normal enterprise administration. You won't uncover any route in just about any of them that can assist you with agile or adaptive process administration, nor will you discover any lean recommendations embodied in these frameworks. Now this is not a present breaker, this just suggests that just in case you utilize anybody of the kind of frameworks that you just may well potentially even would love to dietary health supplement it with other locations of data, competencies and operation. 

Specifications and Frameworks is not going to be any Panacea

An awesome provide as we’d desire to feel that a complete program of coaching will give a results of wonderful operate experts and frequently affluent enterprise success, that just is just not the situation. Encouraging enterprise professionals to become common with challenge administration specifications and every among the know-how embodied within a competency framework is probably going to become important, but will not likely typically be a good amount of in a very good level of strengthening the affectivity of challenge supervisors. 

Two papers on this idea from Lynn Crawford, while from all-around a 10 a long time back, are worth mastering: Senior administration perceptions of enterprise administration competence and Profiling the Proficient Enterprise Supervisor. These tutorial papers report on study that challenges the concept that undertaking administration recognition gains opportunities to much larger office environment operation; in consequence, they're papers in assist of proven competency, not simply knowledge-based competency. More current papers on this difficulty are in numerous chapters when using the Wiley Manual to Challenge Organization & Place Administration Competencies (tip: this book is obtainable for free viewing by PMI members toward the PMI web site).

Making use of a standard Venture Administration Competency Framework

I ask my challenge supervisors to recognize that an uncomplicated Approach Administration Competency Framework is truly a normal guideline on your destinations of information, expertise and shown overall performance. They could use it by themselves as:

A constant reminder within your breadth and depth over the problem manager’s tasks

An inventory that may help identify all those people enterprise administration practices which are typically not applied on a typical basis but could benefit their tasks

A indicates of figuring out locations where they should definitely be improving upon their knowing base and normal effectiveness as a problem supervisor

A important reference when constructing a qualified progress plan

In my duties of directing predicament enterprises, I use an easy Issue Administration Competency Framework to:

Give superb definition to certain places where enterprise administration improvement are needed broadly inside of my organization

Aid identify, for distinct business professionals, spots where particular business management improvements are needed

Promote an strategy of skilled enhancement in which career supervisors can self-assess their very own enterprise administration talents, techniques, data and operation

Introducing the Uncomplicated Undertaking Administration Competency Framework

If you happen to be a work supervisor aiming to obtain a framework that can make it easier to identify regions in which you might have to be building enterprise administration proficiency, the uncomplicated framework below may possibly be an awesome starting stage suitable for you. 

This framework is structured to cover both recognition and operation; comprehending place administration concepts is often a precursor to what we in fact want: getting capable to apply this comprehension effectively to project situations. 

I’ve deliberately kept this framework concise, but do refer to other competency frameworks and specs that have more detail. As a framework, this provides a framework for considering your comprehension of problem administration and application of that know-how to initiatives.

This uncomplicated framework has 3 segments: 

Qualities - Gaining Clever about Undertaking Management: Acquiring broad points of challenge management, covering a number of anticipations, spanning regular PM and agile. This expertise is mostly acquired by means of evaluate (books, web web-sites, instruction) and could perhaps be confirmed by means of any indicates that validates knowledge (e.g., certification or passing an examination at completion of coursework). 

This involves appropriately selecting suitable enterprise administration solutions and functioning with those people today approaches effectively above the predicament; of program this also involves achieving business objectives.

Teaching Mba Students to Think!

In both large international conferences and intimate round-table discussions, corporate leaders around the globe have expressed their disillusionment with the quality of top-MBA graduates. They lament the 6-10 months of hand holding needed to ready fresh graduates for the job and question their ability to make effective business decisions.

1. Research-based learning and its value in the corporate sector

In both large international conferences and intimate round-table discussions, corporate leaders around the globe have expressed their disillusionment with the quality of top-MBA graduates. They lament the 6-10 months of hand holding needed to ready fresh graduates for the job and question their ability to make effective business decisions.

This is because historically, management education has simply focused on imparting facts, case histories, and theory. The ability to problem-solve, or even define a problem itself, has not been emphasized or inculcated by MBA programs. This is unfortunate, because such critical-thinking skills are especially important for leaders in today’s rapidly globalizing economy – when cross-cultural aspects of economic policy, law, consumer behavior, and market strength need to be considered.

How do we teach students to apply their minds? How can we groom them to innovatively identify business opportunities? How can we encourage critical-thinking and analytical approaches to decision-making?

Recognizing the failures of traditional instruction (rote learning through textbooks) and armed with deeper understandings of how people learn (by encouraging curiosity and debate), business schools around the world (LSE, Wharton, Kellogg, Warwick, etc.) have increasingly turned to research-based teaching methodologies. Interestingly, such methodologies have been stressed in US medical schools for decades –  and from there has spread to different disciplines and localities.

2. What is Research-Based Learning

In research-based learning, research is interwoven with teaching and learning and underpins academia at a range of levels. By incorporating research outcomes into curricula, students are made aware of the processes and scientific method of thinking. This creates a culture of research and innovation.  There are four levels /ways in which research and learning are interlinked – they provide a framework for incorporating research into management education.  According to Blackmore, P. and Fraser, M. (2007), the four ways are:

Outcomes: Research outcomes shape the curriculum and ensure that course content includes cutting edge research findings.

Process: Learning is research-process based and stresses the scientific method. This enhances opportunities for inquiry-based and experiential learning.

Tools: Broad skills such as critical thinking, information retrieval and evaluation, and problem solving are stressed. Knowledge of statistical models and data analysis techniques are imparted.

Context: Develops an inclusive research culture amongst students and helps in increasing students’ understanding of how their chosen discipline contributes positively to society

Faculty draws on their personal research experience to design their courses. By sharing examples and anecdotes about tackling “real world” problems with their students – they supplement theoretical coursework and narrow-case-studies in powerful ways.  Discussions between students and experienced faculty allow them to brainstorm solutions to real-world problems together.

Some Examples:

Example #1 (a classic): Given India’s population, large MNCs such as Unilever and Procter & Gamble recognized the huge potential market for their shampoo products. However, they struggled to sell their large bottles of shampoo, as they were impractical and far too expensive for those who live on daily wages. To make their products more affordable and accessible, these companies built off C.K. Prahalad’s “Bottom of the Pyramid” theories and conducted research on consumer behavior, pricing, product design, and packaging and distribution efficiency. The result was single-serve packets of shampoo, which are affordable and accessible, and have become the nationwide norm for a variety of other products (jam, coffee, aspirin, skin cream).

Example #2: Airlines need to set their fares in a very strategic way to maximize profits. Thus, they research global flying patterns, passenger sensitivity to price fluctuations, seasonal and climatic factors, the purchasing power of different segments of society, fluctuating costs of fuel, public perception of airline safety – not to mention strategies to beat out competing airlines! MBA graduates need the analytical tools to make sense of all this critical information – and make decisions which provide the best service/product which fits a company’s financial resources.

Example # 3: A parliamentary committee recently found that fruits and vegetables products worth more than 50,000 crore are wasted each year due to lack of proper storage and processing facilities in the country. In a nation where millions go to bed hungry daily, this is troubling. Companies are now increasingly utilizing Tetrapack packaging technology. Companies such as Tropicana can now keep orange juice fresh for much longer, save money on storage/refrigeration costs, reach global consumers and therefore employ many more farmers, and provide a nutritious product to society. By identifying a societal need and then directing scientific research towards food preservation, engineering research towards package design, and business research towards understanding the supply-chain logistics, consumer behavior, and business growth opportunities – executives were able to make important decisions which eventually created value for shareholders, the economy, and society.

Example # 4: Decades ago in Himachal Pradesh, whenever the prices of potatoes dropped very low, potato farmers would not cultivate their crops – it just didn’t make financial sense. At the time, Pepsico executives were looking for an opportunity to make profits, as well as satisfy a societal need. As the Himachal Pradesh environment is well suited for growing potatoes – and as farmers are a particularly vulnerable community, Pepsico looked into building a potato-chip factory in the region. They carried out extensive research regarding global demand of chips, projected growth in the Indian market, the most efficient cutting/frying/packaging method, pricing models, and legal and license issues. Through all this, Pepsico effectively seized an enormous business opportunity, and contributed to the HP community.

3. Intellectual and Career Advantages

Currently, the importance of research to economic, environmental, and societal progress is not particularly recognized in India. However, as the global trend towards research-based learning continues in fields as diverse as Medicine, Engineering, Psychology, Law, and Business – students will begin to understand the research principles of objectivity, respect for data and evidence, importance of considering alternative perspectives, tolerance for ambiguity, and the importance of considering alternative perspectives.

Numerous studies have found that students are often more inspired by lecturers whom they perceive to be experts in their field, and who convey enthusiasm for the subject. Additionally, students tend to learn best when they are actively involved in developing their knowledge base.

4. Why Research Based Learning?

A paper in Academy of Management Learning & Education suggests that faculty members’ research productivity and their students’ earnings after graduation are positively linked. The intellectual advantages of research-based learning do give an individual tremendous advantages in a corporate environment. After all, the function of senior management is to identify/solve problems, seize opportunities, delegate people to carry out research on the various aspects involved, and make decisions based on careful analysis.

However, there is one important caveat to all this. As business schools move towards this research-based learning model, it is imperative for faculty to be constantly engaged with the needs of industry through consulting experience – and not limit themselves to theoretical research from the ivory tower.

At the end of the day, the primary benefit of management education is not to instill knowledge of facts, even if these facts are about management practices or business operations. Management education should expose students to research scholars and industry leaders and inculcate dynamic knowledge – whereby students learn how to learn.

Private Lessons, is Good For Children?

Private lessons easy choice for most parents to raise their children learn mastery of the material. However, if the teacher brings to the home method is good for development.

Demands of the times are different. First, the housewife becomes a companion study of children when at home. However, now the mother works outside the home to meet the needs of family life education at home so often overlooked.

As a shortcut, most parents use the services of private tutors to teach their children at home.

Psychologists Retno A. Riani said private lessons can indeed be an option to increase the child's mastery of the subject matter they have not understood. However, he suggested that private tutoring is not done continuously.

According to him, privately at home can make a child feel depressed because of her own dealing with the teacher. Children will be reluctant to teachers. Private pattern also makes the delivery of one-way from teacher to student. "Children will consider what the teacher was right. Private create learning atmosphere so tense, "he said.

Graduates of this master UGM suggested that additional study should be conducted in groups of children. Children and some friends to learn together with a teacher who was brought into the house. Better methods of study groups and could be more favored child.

By studying the group, said Retno, the child has a friend to ask. Children can ask another friend who already understand. Only in the learning process of sharing and communication in groups is the case.

According to Retno, lessons are learned after your child's school. In addition, the atmosphere is not as serious as a child learning to learn in school. This additional learning should take place in fun. "Children are learning at school too seriously, then do not be a serious additional tutoring as well," said Retno.

UNS is a graduate psychologist flicked the current education system is very burdensome to the child. Children are required to master all the lessons in school and get high scores. If the child has less value in some subjects, the parents will try to give lessons to children as much as possible. Finally, the right of children to play and have fun was taken away.

"Children need to learn and play balance. When the lesson was too overwhelmed can cause anxiety, low self-esteem, and anxiety are not able to achieve a high score, "he said.

How Could You Motivate Your Children to Treat Education.

Children at their earliest ages should learn and realize the importance of education to their lives. However, there are just some kids who try to resist the norm and insist on doing things their way.

Children at their earliest ages should learn and realize the importance of education to their lives. However, there are just some kids who try to resist the norm and insist on doing things their way. How could you motivate your children or teens to treat education as a necessary preparation for their future? Here are some practical and proven effective guidelines.

Teach the value of education early in a child’s life. Children are naturally curious and observant. They may be wondering why you love reading books or magazines. Tell them that they need to learn to read to be able to also share such enjoyment. It would help if you would tell your children on a daily basis how important getting a good education is in attaining goals and dreams in life.

Be creative when teaching children during their formative years. If you are not a teacher in profession, you could still strive to be an effective home tutor to your kids. You see, as a parent, you should also learn how to make your children enjoy learning and studying. You could impose play and fun activities at home to make children realize that learning is not as boring as they think.

Take your children to educational yet fun parks. Instead of taking them to the malls to stroll, why not take them to a museum, a science center, or a zoo for a change? When they get more curious about things, tell them they would know more if they would continue getting education. This strategy would certainly make them more motivated to learn and study.

Introduce the computer to children. Computers never fail to amaze people, especially young children. It seems that this is a computer generation. Of course, emphasize to your kids that they could not in any way exploit the potential of computers and the Internet without getting necessary education. In no time, you would hear them asking you how they could learn more. By that time, you should realize that the ball is in your hands.

Take your children to the streets where there are vagabonds and beggars. This may not sound very nice, but you could tell your children they could end up like those unfortunate people if they fail to get necessary education. You could surely instantly see the frights in their faces, for sure.

How about applying education or learning to daily activities? You could incorporate mathematics to daily tasks and situations. Their love for learning could start if you rely on them in doing specific tasks. Incorporate counting, reading, and writing on those simple tasks. For example, you take them to the market and make them buy certain items (like 5 apples, 10 oranges, and the likes). At the end of the day, you could see them get the thrill and satisfaction.

Enroll your children to the most reputable and effective schools. Traditionally, parents treat schooling of children as investments. If you want them to love education, make sure to place them into an environment that would foster comfort, fun, and learning at the same time. Do not hesitate because of high costs. Most of the time, the best and most effective schools call for premium in their quality of education. If it would make your children better individuals, why not spend for it?

Summary:

The number of chromosomes of the water buffalois  56 including one pair of sex chromosomes. Males have an X and a Y chromosome whereas females have X and X chromosomes. Sex determination by polymerase chain reaction PCR was found to be a speedy & correct with 95% accuracy at 43.8 days post fertilization increasing to 99.9% at 55.0 days.

Keywords:

Sex determination:

Sex determination is the mechanisms which select whether the bipotential embryo will build-up as male or female in a species. Sex determination ends in the development of individuals with characteristics that let them be identified as males, females, or in some cases, hermaphrodites.

Sex determination System:

Sex-determination system is a biological method that determines the development of sexual characteristics in an organism.

Sex Chromosome:

A chromosome is a single, long molecule of DNA. Chromosomes are highly organized structures that have genetic information in living organisms. The number of chromosomes of the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis L.) is a controversial issue but finally it is 2n = 56 (Pchakadze, 1939). Out of them 27 pairs of autosomes & one pair of sex chromosomes. As in other mammals, males have an X as well as a Y chromosome & females have X X chromosomes. The XY sex-determination method is the sex-determination method present in buffalo The XX & XY sex-determination method is the most familiar, as it is present in buffalo. In the method, females have of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), while males have distinct sex chromosomes (XY). The XY sex chromosomes are different in shape & size from each other.

Determination:

In placental mammals, the presence of a Y chromosome determines sex. Normally, cells from females contain X chromosomes, & cells from males contain an X as well as a Y chromosome. The role of the Y chromosome in mammalian sex determination has been known since the early twentieth century. In most species, of the sex chromosomes, the X chromosome, normally occurs as a pair in gender but only singly in the other. The gender with X chromosomes is called the homogametic sex, because each of its gametes normally receives an X chromosome after meiosis. The gender with X chromosome usually also has a morphologically different sex chromosome, the Y chromosome. The X & Y chromosomes usually pair to some extent at meiosis, with the result that the XY is the heterogametic sex, with half its gametes containing an X & half containing a Y.

Polymerase chain reaction:

Sex determination by polymerase chain reaction PCR was found to be a speedy & correct method in buffalo (Rao et al., 1993). da Cruz et al., (2012) proved that the test performed at 43.8 days post fertilization would have 95% accuracy, increasing to 99% accuracy for testing at 48.4 days & 99.9% accuracy for tests at 55.0 days or later.

Sociology: AN Academic Review

The experiences we have for the entire session seemed to be countless and very significant. We just didn’t learn sociology as a subject alone, but also as a subject matter that shapes our personality, boosting up our social skills and of course, adding up our knowledge on what sociology as a subject is all about, what are its scope and limitations, what are its areas of concentration, etc. This subject seemed to be not as complicated as those which are under my field (IT subjects) but I tell you, this could shape a person of whatever type to be real and to be an active element in the society especially if taken seriously.  The mentor of course, plays a significant role in realizing the real objectives of this subject matter as a social science and as a culture- nurturing course.

From the start, I’ve been expecting that sociology could be a lightweight subject but would matter a lot on my academic records as a student. I never took it for granted and somehow, learned to balance it among the heavier ones. I’ve also been expecting it that as a social science, it will help students gain more knowledge on and beyond the subject matter and most importantly, apply it on the actual social scene by being an active member of the society. On the mentor’s part, I’m expecting him to encourage his students to be more participative and active not just in his class but also in any type of social media especially to that certain society where they will be exposing themselves in the soonest part of their lives.

The first day of class was great as I could see the interactions between the professor and his students. I was just sitting at the corner observing the scene. Then, I realized and told myself, “This is really a good start.”

The next few days were interesting and became even more challenging especially when I learned the strategy of the teacher in handling exams. Frankly speaking, I really hate the type of exam he gave but I know it’s an effective way of learning. There has always been a voice in my mind which keeps on inviting me not to study or even take those chunks of knowledge offered to us by our professor. My mind keeps on floating since I really hate the schedule. I want it after lunch so as not to keep myself hungry and my mind in the air searching for food.

In the middle part of the semester, the discussion seemed to be a ritual and I could find myself bored on this stuff. There was a total boredom during this time and I keep on missing those important scores in every exam. I keep on failing the quizzes but somehow, got average scores in major exams. I could find myself away from the subject unwilling to get back and go with the flow. I easily get weary once I could feel the monotony of the discussion. But I have to adjust.

The latter part of the periodic session was a highlight. We were challenged to do the reporting and take the floor to discuss a certain topic. At first, I felt frustrated as to how to manage my stage fright. I have been chosen as the leader in our group which keeps me not going easy. I have done several presentations and reports in high school but very seldom in college.  “I guess this is the time to stick back in the past”, I thought. I have been thinking and keep on deciding as to what teaching strategy to use. I know mere discussions with those visual aids are all texts could be very boring. Of course, I don’t want my audience to feel boredom and monotony during my presentation. And so, I have decided that graphical and rich visual aids would wow my audience. I made a unique presentation which I have been fond of doing during high school days. The result was better then

We all know crime is a major issue whole and with no letup on the horizon. While crime is made of carjacking, home theft, physical assault, and perhaps murder, another type of crime that could be growing and costing businesses millions of dollars every year will be computer crime. That can help prevent and determine thieves of wholly commited computer crimes, universites and colleges now offer extensive computer forensics exercising.

Normally, people that need interest or much better, experience in the modern world of law enforcement or criminology are usually those that excel in working computer crimes. This field is important and exciting, and that's why we see so many new students using classes. Computer forensics training covers a rapid range of subject areas, some that consist of identifying computer cyber-terrorist, locating data hidden on harddrives, and more. Apart from criminals being identified, proprietary information that can wreck havoc on companies is also protected.

The best thing about the computer forensics training being offered at colleges and universities is comprehensive, which translates to mean everything needed to get a successful career is roofed. You would be taught various techniques for data recovery, types of detecting illegal action, ways of finding even the tiniest detail or encrypted/deleted data, and much more that will bring the offender to justice.

Teaching Tips Are Good And Pupils Preferred As to Whether It's an Ideal Teacher? Each Person Can Thrust a Long List of Criteria For Answering Th

As to whether it's an ideal teacher? Each person can thrust a long list of criteria for answering this question. List that you want can be a reference to the various reference-material readiness, how to treat students, behavior, etc.-which may be different for each person.

But, rather than giddy up a wide range of criteria, why do not we just ask the kids about the good teachers they think? EENET Asia ran a report about the ideal teacher in the eyes of children in China and Pakistan, but presumably also apply universally.

Consider some of the comments children in China.

 The teacher Gao like mothers to me.

* He hears all our problems and complaints and help us solve the problem.

 Professor Shan is always funny in class to write us and made us very interested in that subject.

* Without my knowing it, I became very fond of writing and gradually, I learned a few tricks to write well.

 He treats every student equally.

* The goodness of his heart, he was never impartial. As a student, this is the most valuable thing about the teacher ... In the classroom teacher Chen, we feel relaxed and alive (excited). He was always "accidentally" ask a question or make a mistake so we can fix it. If we say something wrong, do not blame us. He would even say with a smile: "Good Error! Mistakes help us find the problems ". Not very long, even the most timid student raised his hand and answered his question.

Children in Pakistan argue about good teachers:

 Our teachers know the name of each child.

* He explains on the board.

* If someone does not understand, he will mendudukan boy next door and explains again.

 He respects the children, he always called them 'aap'.

* (Aap is a polite form of 'you' in Pakistan)

 Our teacher always pay attention to each child while teaching.

*The last paragraph of the article seems striking and illustrates clearly how should an ideal teacher:

A good teacher is basically a good man. They have loving personalities, good, warm, patient, decisive, flexible in behavior, hard-working and committed to their job. Center of their attention is not on the text book or curriculum, but in children! They are very aware of the diversity of ways children learn, the differences between the children and the importance of diverse methods to encourage pupils to learn. Children who learn with a teacher like that do not need to spend extra money to take lessons after school.
