As the BJP criticised the Supreme Court judgement reversing disqualification of 11 BJP MLAs as "erroneous", legal experts on Tuesday said the court was not right in basing its verdict on the premise that the MLAs only wanted to replace the chief minister, but did not want the government to fall.
A bench headed by justice Altamas Kabir had on Friday said the 11 BJP MLAs were only against Yeddyurappa continuing as chief minister but wanted their party, the BJP, to stay in power.
In an article published on the BJP website, senior party leader Arun Jaitley had said the Supreme Court's conclusions based on a letter written by the rebel MLAs to Karnataka Governor HR Bhardwaj on October 6, 2010 may not be correct.
Former Delhi HC judge RS Sodhi criticised the verdict for creating further confusion. "In my opinion there is no such thing like the chief minister should go and the government should survive..."
Justice Sodhi said: "This is a new thing which the Supreme Court seems to have developed. To my mind there is no logical explanation to it. You can't say I support the government but I don't support the chief minister. I see the SC judgment as creating more confusion than clarifying a situation."
Senior counsel Rajiv Dhavan said: "It is not for the Supreme Court to differ with the Speaker unless the Speaker's judgment is unreasonably absurd…This was not the case here."
Dhavan added, "The intention of the rebel BJP MLAs was clearly to defy the party leadership and the effect was to create a political crisis. It cannot be described as an intra-party rebellion."
Former additional solicitor general Vikas Singh said, "To infer from the letter written by the rebel BJP MLAs that they wanted the chief minister to go and the not the BJP government ... may not be correct."

Sandra Korpitz has been dancing since she was little. Her parents are proud owners of a Fred Astaire Dance Studio and now Sandra is following in their footsteps as a nationally ranked instructor.

She and her partner, Alex Zarek, are National Finalists in American Rhythm and quickly on the rise!
Alex Zarek originally found ballroom dancing through his parents, and because of their experience and love of dance it inspired him to follow in their footsteps. With the inspiration that they shared, he plans to do the same by sharing his passion for dance. Alex is very proud to be a part of Randall Designs, who have not only supported his dancing, but also worked with his parents when they were professionally competing.

The photo shoot happened last year, when Ryan was a runner-up for the magazine's Person of the Year. The macho poses are, of course, a reference to Ryan's affinity for P90X.
6. We imagine the photo shoot went something like this…

Movement was a major feature of John Steinbeck's life and writing, and migration—human, animal, vegetable—is the focus of this year's John Steinbeck festival in Salinas, California, scheduled May 5-7 to coincide with Cinco de Mayo, a favorite fiesta of the country Steinbeck visited often in the 1930s and 40s. Like the author himself, the 2017 John Steinbeck festival is peripatetic, moving between Salinas, Monterey, and Cannery Row, as Steinbeck did when he was writing the California books that made him famous. A three-day pass costs $180 and covers most Friday, Saturday, and Sunday events. A special concert in honor of the late Carol Robles—a frequent flyer and legendary tour planner—is free and features Dixieland music, an appropriate choice for a festival dedicated to John Steinbeck, a traveling man who loved jazz.
Birds Do It, Bees Do It, and John Steinbeck Did It, Too
ABC News Veteran Bob Woodruff to Receive 2017 John Steinbeck Award
Bob Woodruff, the ABC News correspondent who was badly wounded in 2006 by an explosive device while embedded with troops in Iraq, will receive the 2017 John Steinbeck "In the Souls of the People" award at a 7:30 p.m., February 21 event in the San Jose State University Student Union. The award is given annually by the school's Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies to an artist, writer, or activist whose life and work emulate the values embodied by Steinbeck, a two-time war correspondent who was embedded with Allied troops in Italy and North Africa and, 20 years later, with his son's army unit in Southeast Asia. Past awardees include Garrison Keillor, Michael Moore, and Rachel Maddow, and proceeds from award events benefit programs associated with recipients, who contribute their time when they appear. Notes Lisa Vollendorf, dean of the College of Humanities and the Arts at San Jose State University, "Bob Woodruff's work reflects Steinbeck's values to the core: he has pointed to Steinbeck's writings about the ravages of war and conflict as an inspiration for his own journalistic choices and advocacy for veterans." General admission to the February 21 event, which will benefit San Jose State University's Veterans Resource Center, is $25.
John Steinbeck's U.S.S.R. And U.S.-Russian Relations In Pre-Donald Trump America
Concerns about the future of U.S.-Russian relations under President-Elect Donald Trump have led students of John Steinbeck to reconsider Steinbeck's views on Russia, and his writing on U.S.-Russian relations, during the presidencies of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and John Kennedy. Silicon Valley fans will have a chance this week to learn much more about this timely topic from Susan Shillinglaw, Professor of English at San Jose State University and a leading expert on John Steinbeck's life and writing, when she gives a one-hour presentation on John Steinbeck and Russia as part of the school's fall 2016 Scholar Series. Shillinglaw, who is known for her pioneering research and engaging style, is writing a book on the subject and gave a version of the talk in Tbisili, Georgia (part of the former Soviet Union) earlier this year. Her San Jose State University address will take place in Room 255 of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in downtown San Jose beginning at 12:00 noon on Wednesday, November 16, 2016. The event is free and open to the public.
"Finding Solace in Steinbeck During the Time of Trump" is worth reading in the aftermath of the November 8 election. Posted on November 11 by Stephen Cooper, a public defender and social progressive, it employs quotations from Susan Shillinglaw's introduction to the Penguin edition of The Grapes of Wrath, as well as the introduction to Working Days: The Journals of The Grapes of Wrath by Robert DeMott, to explore Steinbeck's relevance to Trump.–Ed.
Steinbeck Event Benefits Cesar Chavez Center
Francisco Jimenez, an award-winning children's writer and Santa Clara University professor, will receive the John Steinbeck "In the souls of the people" award at a September 28 event benefiting San Jose State University's Cesar Chavez Community Action Center. The award, which has been given in the past to such writers as Ruby Bridges and Khaled Hosseini, is sponsored by the school's Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies. As a boy Jimenez migrated to California from Mexico with his family, whose transient existence he compares to that of the Joads in The Grapes of Wrath. His first book, The Circuit: Stories from the Life of a Migrant Child (1997), won the Americas Award for Children and Young Adults Literature. After receiving his PhD, he joined the faculty of Santa Clara University, his alma mater, where he was CASE/Carnegie Foundation Professor of the Year in 2002. He is an especially sympathetic admirer of Cesar Chavez, the labor and civil rights leader who—with Dolores Huerta, a previous Steinbeck award winner—founded the National Farm Workers Association in 1962. The September 28 benefit, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in San Jose State University's Student Union Theater, will feature Francisco Jimenez in conversation with Lalo Alcarez, the creator of "La Cucaracha," the first nationally syndicated political cartoon by a Latino artist in the United States. General admission tickets are $20 and are available from the San Jose State University event center.
August 25: John Steinbeck, Ruth Comfort Mitchell Event
Susan Shillinglaw, a leading John Steinbeck scholar and speaker, and Peggy Conaway, an expert on the history of Los Gatos, California, will discuss the conflict between Steinbeck and the Los Gatos writer Ruth Comfort Mitchell, who responded to The Grapes of Wrath in 1940 with a novel of her own, during an August 25 presentation at NUMU in Los Gatos, the town where Steinbeck lived when he wrote his 1939 masterpiece. Shillinglaw is the author or editor of books and articles about John Steinbeck, including On Reading The Grapes of Wrath and America and Americans, a collection of Steinbeck's essays. Conaway, the former director of the Los Gatos Library, is writing a book about Mitchell, a colorful figure who lived in Los Gatos until her death in 1954. The August 25 program will begin at 7:00 p.m. and is free for NUMU members; non-members pay $10 to visit the lively little art and history museum, where "Mitchell vs. Steinbeck"—an exhibit of documents related to Steinbeck, Mitchell, and the controversy over The Grapes of Wrath—continues through October 13. NUMU is located next to the Los Gatos Library on Main Street near two Los Gatos landmarks: Los Gatos High School, built in 1925, and First Church of Christ, Scientist, where Mitchell—an outspoken Republican who wrote poetry, plays, and fiction and loved dogs—taught Sunday School.
Critics, Craft Beer, and Fans Toast John Steinbeck in San Jose and Salinas, California
Literary critics and conferences gave John Steinbeck a pain, but he liked beer and enjoyed parties, so it's easy to imagine him making an exception for the literary conference and the festival held in his name earlier this month in San Jose and Salinas, California. Each event was scheduled with the other in mind, and the planning paid off: star Steinbeck scholars appeared at both, attendance was up from previous years, and Sea of Cortez got the attention it deserved on its 75th anniversary (several experts said it was their second favorite book by Steinbeck). The May 4-6 John Steinbeck conference at San Jose State University attracted scholars, students, and fans from as far away as Israel and Japan and featured keynote addresses by Steinbeck stars who flew in from points east and midwest for the conference, and for the May 6-8 Steinbeck Festival in Salinas. During the opening address in San Jose, Richard Astro recalled his experience as a visiting professor during early Solidarity days in Poland, where Steinbeck was remembered for providing words of comfort to Warsaw after John Kennedy was killed, and where the author of The Grapes of Wrath remains more popular than his contemporaries ("John Steinbeck is more international than Faulkner, Hemingway, or Fitzgerald by far"). The next day, Robert DeMott described his experience of discovery in the 1970s and 1980s exploring the untapped "archival biography" he found in various Steinbeck collections around the U.S. His 1989 edition of the double journal Steinbeck kept while writing The Grapes of Wrath has become a classic, adding to our understanding of Steinbeck and complementing the epistolary journal published in 1969 in connection with East of Eden ("John Steinbeck's great subject was family").
Something for Every Taste at Steinbeck Festival in Salinas
The morning after his talk to followers at the San Jose conference, DeMott fanned the flame of Steinbeck worship for attendees of the 35th Steinbeck Festival, hosted by the National Steinbeck Center in Salinas, California. The Salinas organization is under new management, and it showed in the festival's quality, energy, and diversity. Susan Shillinglaw, the new director, is an entrepreneurial scholar and impresario who shares Steinbeck's love of travel (Sea of Cortez; Tibilisi, Georgia) and liquid refreshment (festival craft beer courtesy of the Salinas Steinbeck Rotary Club). Adding fuel to the spark set by DeMott was a pair of inspired speakers with a new approach to the subject of John Steinbeck. William Souder, the Minnesota journalist who has written brilliant biographies of John James Audubon and Rachel Carson, told his listeners how and why he chose to write a new life of John Steinbeck that focuses on global themes like ecology and social justice. Gavin Jones also views Steinbeck through a large lens, and he explained the book he is writing, one with the working title "Race, Species, Planet: Steinbeck and the Western World." A native of the Welsh-English border country explored by Steinbeck in his search for King Arthur, Jones is a Stanford University professor with a capacious vocabulary and a novel perspective on Steinbeck as a writer of "anthropocene fiction," in which human behavior affects and is influenced by drought, flood, and other portents of climate change. Heavy going for a Friday in May perhaps, but the crowd in Salinas didn't flag. Like Steinbeck after writing nonstop or collecting specimens on the Sea of Cortez, they knew a beer was waiting in the cooler the next day.

International Relations Explored at John Steinbeck Conference in San Jose
Steinbeck lovers from all over convene this Wednesday at San Jose State University's Martin Luther King, Jr. Library, where Steinbeck experts will probe literary influences, international relations, and various cultural collisions found in the author's controversial writing and reputation. Speakers for the May 4-6 conference, hosted by the International Society of Steinbeck Scholars, include Robert DeMott and Susan Shillinglaw—former directors of the Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies at San Jose State and authors of major books on Steinbeck's life and work—as well Richard Astro, a pioneer in the study of Steinbeck's friend and collaborator Ed Ricketts; Mimi Gladstein, a Texas theater and English professor who writes about Steinbeck's depiction of women; and Paul Douglass, an expert on modern literature and philosophy at San Jose State who served as the Steinbeck Center's director from 2005 to 2013. The conference organizers—led by Nick Taylor, the center's current director, and Barbara Heavilin, the editor of Steinbeck Review—are prepared for sparks to fly and made plans accordingly. When the conference closes on Friday, attendees will have the option of boarding a bus for Salinas, 90 minutes south of San Jose, where they can decompress by enjoying the 2016 Steinbeck Festival, "Steinbeck on Land and Sea."
Sea of Cortez at 75: Salinas, California Celebrates John Steinbeck on Land and Sea
The annual Steinbeck Festival held in John Steinbeck's hometown of Salinas, California is back. In celebration of Steinbeck's enduring legacy as a writer-activist-ecologist, and the land-and-sea ethic exemplified in his 1941 work Sea of Cortez, the May 6-8, 2016 festival—"Steinbeck on Land and Sea"—features activities designed for a variety of tastes, including informal "JON talks," documentary films, and tours of the Red Pony Ranch, Ed Ricketts's lab, and Steinbeck's Salinas. Whale-watching off the Monterey coast is also part of the mix.
Guest speakers exemplify the festival's land-and-sea theme from a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives. They include the distinguished Steinbeck scholar Robert DeMott talking about a favorite subject, Steinbeck and fishing; William Souder, the critically acclaimed biographer of Rachel Carson and John James Audubon, introducing his biography-in-progress of John Steinbeck; Katie Rodger, an expert on Ed Ricketts, discussing a newly published essay by Steinbeck's close friend and collaborator; Kyle Van Houtan, Director of Science at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, on the land-and-sea-and-culture link found in studying sea turtle populations in Hawaii; Gavin Jones, chair of the English department at Stanford University, on Steinbeck, land, drought, and race; and the writer Mary Ellen Hannibal talking about her new book on citizen science and its connections to Steinbeck, Ricketts, and their acquaintance Joseph Campbell.
The multicultural character of this year's festival line-up matches the population of Salinas, California—and a pattern in John Steinbeck's life and work, including Sea of Cortez. The author Sergio Chavez, the photographer Daniel Ruanova, and the documentary filmmaker Ignacio Rodriguez will discuss the cultural impact of braceros in the Salinas Valley, Jean Vengua will talk about Fillipino newspapers, and Eric Palmer will show a "teaser" of his new documentary film about Japanese flower growers in the area. John Gregg, owner of the boat Steinbeck and Ricketts sailed to the Sea of Cortez in 1940, will update festival-goers about restoration work on The Western Flyer. Harold Augenbraum, former Director of the National Book Award, will discuss Steinbeck's frequently-taught novel The Pearl in English and Spanish. Stanford biology professor William Gilly will recount his 2004 trip retracing Steinbeck and Ricketts's expedition to Baja, and how the Sea of Cortez has changed since Steinbeck and Ricketts made their voyage and wrote their book.
Beer was consumed on The Western Flyer, and Steinbeck once appeared in a magazine ad for Ballantine Ale. This connection to Steinbeck's life on land and sea will be celebrated in Steinbeck Home Brew Fest, staged in the National Steinbeck Center's beer garden in collaboration with the Steinbeck Rotary Club, and in "Craft Beer 101," one of several half-hour "JON talks" planned for this year's festival. In a related tribute to California's land-and-sea culture, David Dennis of Ventana Surfboards will show how he makes surfboards from Steinbeck-themed wood.
One-day and three-day tickets can be purchased online at the National Steinbeck Center website or by calling 831-775-4721.
Always Something to Do in Salinas: 2016 John Steinbeck Festival Celebrates Main Street and Sea of Cortez
The National Steinbeck Center will celebrate John Steinbeck's life, time, and work May 6, 7, and 8 in Salinas, California, the writer's home town. The 2016 John Steinbeck Festival—"From Salinas to Sea of Cortez: Steinbeck on Land and Sea"—boasts an all-star lineup (the Steinbeck scholar, poet, and fisherman Robert DeMott; Steinbeck's biographer William Souder; Susan Shillinglaw, the Steinbeck center's executive director) and a variety of topics, including Steinbeck's 1940 voyage to the Sea of Cortez, Latino culture and writing in California, and the living heritage of Main Street Salinas. Says Shillinglaw, "There's 'always something to do in Salinas,' as Steinbeck wryly noted in an essay by the same name, and there's much that is 'festive' in the 2016 festival, with Steinbeck Rotary sponsoring Main Street's first 'Steinbeck's Home Brew Fest' and a beer garden on the NSC patio. In his 1955 essay, Steinbeck noted that the town's motto was 'Salinas is,' adding, 'I don't know what that means, but there is no doubt of its compelling tone.'"
Some Walls Are Built as Bridges: San Jose State University Celebrates John Steinbeck and Civil Rights
Some walls separate. Others connect. Admirers at San Jose State University have built a handsome wall to commemorate John Steinbeck's enduring connection with social justice and civil rights, a tie that is celebrated in the John Steinbeck "In the souls of people" Award, given 15 times since 1996 to artists, actors, writers, and activists whose work involves social change. The award ceremony is always a happy occasion, and the February 24 event honoring civil rights leader Ruby Bridges, the brave little schoolgirl described in Travels with Charley, was no exception.
The John Steinbeck award ceremony is always a happy occasion, and the February 24 event honoring Ruby Bridges, the brave little schoolgirl described in Travels with Charley, was no exception.
The Steinbeck award commemorative wall was created by the San Jose University Student Union and is located in the busy student activity building where most award events are held. Explains Nick Taylor, director of the Martha Heasley Cox Center for Steinbeck Studies at San Jose State University, "The wall consists of a series of disks tracing the timeline of the Steinbeck Award, with background on the rationale for each selection and a few details about each ceremony." The California civil rights leader Dolores Huerta, an advocate for farm workers' rights, is a past recipient. Bruce Springsteen received the first award in 1996.
Jim Kent, a member of the John Steinbeck center's advisory board, traveled to San Jose from Denver for the February 24 event. "As a fan of Travels with Charley," he said, "I was thrilled to meet the young lady Steinbeck observed as she braved white hecklers during the integration of the New Orleans elementary school where she was the first black student, back in 1960." A social ecologist who uses Steinbeck in his work empowering citizens to control their own environments, Kent was helping to write federal legislation for Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty when the Civil Rights Act of 1965—which owed much to writers like John Steinbeck—passed Congress. "Ruby Bridges was the perfect choice for this year's award," he added. "Like Steinbeck, she is a master storyteller. She attracted a capacity crowd made up of all ages and races, and her elegance inspired five standing ovations. There's clearly a hunger for continued engagement with civil rights in our time. This was proof."

Implementation Of Ict In Western Secondary Schools Education Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Information and communication technologies are measured as a significant technique which is used for any organization to maintain competitive advantage and perform their operation more effectively and efficiently, the importance of information and communication technology also accomplished by the successful implementation of ICT. In education sector, information and communication technology also perceived as the vital tool to provide superb quality of education and organize the students to achieve the information from many resources. In addition to that, computer systems are the part of ICT which helps to establish the educational system.
Furthermore, many limitations arise for instance computer may minimize the teacher's efforts to convey information and knowledge but on the other hand, the computers provide enhanced visualization and it also enhances the motivation of students. However, with the implementation of ICT in education system because they deliver complex ideas about the education in such an easy so everyone can understand the concept of idea.
Additionally, like other developing countries, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia did not have the appropriate informational and technological framework like other residential developed countries. Consequently, the KSA needs effective strategies which improve the usage of ICT in KSA secondary school system effectively. In addition to that, by improving the utilization of ICT in secondary school of KSA the students can accomplish the better educational information. On the other hand, there are some limitations which cause some problems in the implementation of ICT in KSA secondary schools.
In the similar way, it required an analysis to analyze these problems in the implementation of ICT and also recognize how tutors and students utilize the ICT. It is very important for both to understand the impacts of coaching and knowledge development in the classroom because it helps in the development of strategies which helps to find out the solution of different problems. A concentrated evaluation of ICT usage in the secondary schools of KSA and the aim of evaluation should be based on identification of constructive strategies which suitable for the KSA secondary schools.
Implementation of ICT in Western secondary schools
The performance of ICT should be improve and expand education and knowledge capabilities which includes extensive range of courses which proved to be demanding to many secondary schools of KSA. In addition to that, it is very important to have better understanding about the concerns for instance; encouragement, support, and infrastructure these concerns are very important because these issues are establishing to be very difficult. In addition to that, there are few schools where teaching staff nearly accepted the ICT and they can use into working exercise, by accepted these active strategies to training and knowledge which also helps to build up new ones. Moreover, in the other similar schools with almost same strategies used for the implementation of ICT and also use same resources and they also achieved the same results. In addition to that, this research also supports those strategies which are used to understand the implementation standards of ICT in secondary schools of KSA. Furthermore, the research objectives of this research help them develop the suitable support and help which provide the better and effective implementation plan for schools.
ICT implementation in schools
Additionally, several researchers found that, is directly focused on ICT standards used in the different schools. This direct focus helps to understand the needs and demands of tutors and different matters which are related with the operations of school. The major issues which a cuase problem in the implementation includes, management, and tutors focus on studies and framework of technology. To overcome this problem management and tutors of school should use the technology in effective way and also teach others how to use the technology. This strategy is very useful to overcome the issues which cause trouble in the implementation of ICT. Moreover, for better and effective learning outcomes, tutors should enhance their teaching skills and also improve the learning capability which helps them to work with the technology.
In addition to that, the literature about these researches is divided into two parts:
Practical factors
Overall and individual attitude towards ICT
Practical factors:
The expression practical factors are used to cover up the physical issues which can be taken as important in terms of tutors skills and usage of information and communication technology. The important issues are highlighted as practical factors are listed below;
Accessibility of technology
Sustainability and guidance
The first issues is very important because it's directly linked with the number, kind and dependability of computers it also includes the right to use plan and place of technology equipment. Furthermore, the significance of personal computers access is recognized internationally at workplace and home as well. The access to computers for the purpose of teaching is obviously very important because it enhance the learning skills. The developments are not only linked with the acquiring adequate number of computer but it the success also depend on the place where computers are located and right to use the equipment to gain knowledge.
Overall and individual attitude towards ICT
The overall and individual behaviours are important collectively when reassess the change management literature. In addition to that, many researchers use precise orientation for the usage of ICT in schools because it provides sharing culture and skills among different schools which provide greater adaptability towards the ICT. If ICT is implemented for the change management then the school management should focus specialized strategies which will be helpful for the successful change within the school or organization.
Utilization of ICT
In the west, the tutors in primary and secondary school represent the usage of ICT in schools as supporting tool & training which provide many learning skills and ideas which are very important for the personality development of students. The use of assistive technology provides many benefits which include superior competence in school operations, communication within the organization is increase, and it provides motivational influence on the learning of students. The utilization of ICT in western schools also provide many benefits to teacher as well which involves sharing of skills and resources, it provides flexibility when operations are conducing, it helps to learn the literacy skills and it also enhance the professional skills of teachers.
In addition that, these benefits mixed up together and give birth to effective e-learning ideas such as, give laptop to teachers, provide projectors to class rooms for better learning, interactive white boards, fully developed computer labs which helps the students to polish their individual and team skills. Furthermore, the Government of United Kingdom aims to establish 6,000 UK online centres by 2015, these centres provides internet access to everyone. However there are many barriers in the implementation and usage of ICT which create many difficulties in ICT development in schools.
There are many barriers which cause many problems; the one of the significant barrier is the physical access of ICT centres. The United Kingdom Government has trying to highlight this issue and develop many online ICT centres and other wired up social programmes which provide access of ICT services from home and other work places. In order to minimize the effect of this barrier the higher authorities should develop comfortable environment so that physical access to IT services will be easy. The other barrier which cause problem is lack of professional skills to use the ICT. To overcome this problem the western government now establishing new training centres which helps the tutors and management of school to learn new skills and which are useful for the better understand of ICT standards. Moreover, other barriers include lack of confidence, tutors are not willing to change their attitudes towards the ICT implementation, and tutors are not recognizing the advantages of ICT. However, the government and higher authorities of western countries are taking initiatives to solve these issues because the ICT is very help for the overall growth and development of the country.
The Model
The implementation of the ICT tackles approaches mentioned above are recognized none. In the figure 1 shows that the (TAM) Technology Adoption model approach based on Technology, Organization, and people that is also known as TOM. the imperatives of the organization such as; enjoying the appreciation by the management, alignment of the objectives of business and delivery of services, appointments of champions all these are driven by the model.
The website usage and wider dissemination will depend on the participation on bottom-up level and huge extent in ongoing terms of updates from the staff or people. The strength of mind and identifications are essential for the imperatives in technology to diffuse the aids in more effective and simple way. Technology, organizational and people are the three forms of change diverse or imperatives. the aspect of technology takes an audit of the model and it also help to set the plan that will be effective and efficient way to implement ICT including that architecture, content, specification monitoring of technology and installation of effectiveness of the technology. Second aspect of the model is people, that undertake the audit skills of ICT, locate the champions and it also help to adopt the significant knowledge for volunteers as well as the key staff to promote and specify the continuous ways of professional development. Third aspect of the model is organizational, that occupies the starting stages of the organization and find out such effective strategies to implement the optimistic arrangement for the ICT to achieve the goals, team structure, culture, resistance to change, issues about funding and budgetary, relationship and attitude as well. The changes in the indicators such as, information access through the web sites and huge usage of emails.
TAM and TOP imperatives along with the references, socio-technical interactions within the model ground discerned the various relationships. The nature of technical and social interaction can be identify by the features of TOP that will be mentioned in the paper later and will be categorized in the below pages. For example, under the imperatives of the organization there is possibility for some people to arguably include and do report.
Figure 1 the TOP-based Technology Adoption Model (TAM)
Vision of strategy of ICT in Saudi Arabia in secondary schools
The strategies that were adopted by the several countries and they recommend their specific perceptions and recommendations at KSA.
Create a Suitable ICT Infrastructure Environment
ICT is based on the communicational technology such as; software, hardware, and the people who use any media of communication like internet and other Medias. In KSA the usage of communicational technology has been improved by providing the facility of internet in the class rooms of ordinary schools. These schools also teach the ICT usage and these projects increase the equipments in the hardware and software through installation of new networks. Moreover, the integration of ICT required huge money to buy all equipments and to support the ICT project. Consequently, the improvement in ICT the gradually planning of integration and providing the infrastructure in the medium classes of every initial school. ELearning can be performed and increased by the enhancing the internet access at the primary level schools and for this purpose the infrastructure can be used. For instance, to provide the facility of internet access in the primary level there should be collection of funding to bear the cost, and it will enables to provide facility to the students in the computer labs and through this access the students can get amazing visualization and process of nature, as well as this will also encourage the students to get independent and develop their learning skills through ICT familiarity.
Training for Ministry of Education Staffs
This is recommended to the Ministry of education to develop the ICT project and its control also. The ministry should also hire a competence staff for this purpose that will integrate the sustainability of this project and the concept of ICT planning along with its design. The ministry staff should also focus on the trainings of ICT that will help them to carry out the important and essential part of this project.
Developing ICT Training Program for Teachers in
The trainings of ICT should also be provided to the teachers to develop their careers. The teachers should have all the equipments of training such as 'technology-maintenance pedagogy information' that will be required during the lectures in the classrooms. This training system will increase the confidence of the teachers and enhance their knowledge to teach the students in more effective and efficient way. This will support the individual learning program in which the students can develop their interest regarding the study and these trainings will be done according to the subjects that will be required by the schools.
ICT in the Saudi Educational System
In 1985, a Saudi special secondary advanced school introduced a subject of ICT through three parts such as; an introduction to computer science, BASIC programming and programming system, use of information as well. These programming subjects encourage the ministry of education during the year of 1991, and he announced the computer studies subject as part of the syllabus in the boys school and later in girls school also.

Successful Ideas For Toy Shopping You Can Make use ofPosted by Administrator • Saturday, August 1. 2015 • Category: Video Games
Do not purchase inexpensive toys. You're not conserving any money if a toy breaks down quickly after bringing it home. Invest the cash in a quality toy that will last a very long time. Some toys can last a lifetime. These actually save you money because you are able to pass them down to other kids.
flareplay controller
You should buy more toys for your kid that don't do too much on their own. It is very well to give your kid more room to promote their creativity. The less action a toy offers, the most likely your child will certainly be to utilize their creativity and have more fun with things.
If your kid outgrows a toy, do not toss it out! Consider selling your toys at a yard sale or provide them away to a Salvation Army. There are other families out there that might use those toys, and they may not have the cash for brand-new versions. What's toy garbage to your youngster may be another family's treasure.
Constantly examine any alerting labels on a toy you are thinking about acquiring. Choking threats and other cautions are very important to think about. Just buy toys that are age proper for the kid.
Puzzles are terrific in assisting a kid learn problem addressing skills. A toddler can start off with an easy 5-piece puzzle. He begins to establish an eye in how things can fit together. As he improves his skill, provide him a 10-piece puzzle. As he masters one level, difficulty him with another.
There are a couple of easy things to bear in mind when selecting a toy for your child. Ask yourself if the toy is safe very first and foremost. Then attempt to think of how your kid will certainly communicate with the toy. Ask whether or not it will help establish their motor abilities or imagination to identify if the toy is a rewarding purchase.
Cautious with any toy that makes a great deal of sound. This is not just for your sanity, it's likewise for your youngster's safety. If a toy that's loud is held up to a kid's ear that could develop harmful damage. Make certain you know what you are purchasing before you purchase it.
If you select an electronic toy for a child, ensure that you get the appropriate sized batteries. The majority of electronic toys do not included batteries set up. For extra enjoyable, you must acquire extra batteries. Also, if you wish to state additional money, consider purchasing rechargeable batteries for the toy.
Video Games (song)
Prior to looking for toys for a birthday or holiday, set a budget plan. Toys, as you'll see, can be remarkably costly! A spending plan can be rapidly shot, particularly when handling the hottest toys of the period. If you aren't cautious, you might blow through a spending plan in no time, so be prepared!
Do you not give your young youngster toys that promote violence. Toy weapons do not actually teach a kid anything except for ways to hurt other people. Kids do not yet comprehend what weapons are made use of for and they can get the wrong impression if they see weapons not taken seriously.

I don't know about you, but from time to time, I have a hard time focusing and concentrating on things I need to do. In fact, it's something I've been struggling with for the past couple of days. To try and resolve this, I decided to look up some info to see what might help.
I found this fabulous article, 5 Tips to Improve Your Concentration, that I thought I'd share. In it, Sam Horn, author of ConZentrate, gives five FOCUS tips to help us concetrate better no matter what we're trying to do.
F= Five More Rule. According to Horn, there are two types of people: those who've learned to work through frustration and those who wish they had. Starting today, if you're in the middle of a task and you feel like giving up, just do five more. Work five more minutes, read five more pages- whatever the case may be. You know how athletes develop physical stamina by pushing past the point of exhaustion? You can build your mental stamina by pushing past the point of frustration.
O= One Think At a Time. There are times when we feel scatter-brained, and we think about the little tasks we need complete instead of focusing on what we actually need to be doing at the moment. Instead of telling your mind not to fret over another, less significant priority (which will cause your mind to think about it anyway), give your mind one task with start-stop parameters. So, for instance, say you keep thinking about how you need to write down all the money you spent this week when you should be writing an article. Tell yourself: "I'll think about the money I spent after I'm done working this evening. Right now, for the next 30 minutes, I'll give my complete focus to finishing this article." And if you still can't get it out of your head, write it on your to-do list; that way, you're free to forget about it until later.
C= Conquer Procrastination. If you don't feel like concentrating, or if you're putting off a task you're supposed to be working on, your procrastinating! (But you already knew that, right?). The next time you're about to put off a responsibility, ask yourself three questions:
- Do I have to do this?
- Do I want it done so it's not on my mind?
- Will it be any easier later?
The questions can give you the motivation to mentally apply yourself. How? They bring you face to face with the fact that the task isn't going anywhere and that putting it off will only add to your guilt, and it will occupy more of your mind and time.
U= Use Your Hands as Blinkers. See your mind as a camera and your eyes as its opening. A lot of times, our eyes are "taking it all in" and our brain is in "wide-angle focus." We can actually think about a lot of things at one time and function efficiently. For example, think about when you're driving, messing with the radio, paying attention to your surroundings and looking for your exit.
Need 100 percent concentration? Let's say you're preparing for an exam; cup your hands around your eyes so you have "tunnel vision" and are looking just at your material. Putting your hands on the sides of your face blocks out surroundings; they are literally "out of sight, out of mind." (Think about what that means). If you use your hands as blinkers each time you want to narrow your focus, you teach your brain to change to 'one track' mind and focus on your command.
S= See As if For the First or Last Time. Frederick Franck said, "When the eye wakes up to see again, it suddenly stops taking everything for granted." The next time your mind is a million miles away, take a look around you and really see your surroundings; lean in and really look at a loved one you tend to take for granted. Doing those things will allow you to be in the 'here and now' and be fully present.
What are your tips for focusing and improving your concentrating? Leave a comment below : )
