ICT as an aid and not a substitute
ICT is not be all and end all of learning. I feel that content should be made simple and than ICT may be used as an aid rather than a substitute . Pl comment
My personal experience with
My personal experience with smart class modules has been not so encouraging. I find them of use when I do not feel like teaching but have to engage students somehow!!!
The best use of ICT can be
The best use of ICT can be when students get to play around it. Ideally this should be done in groups and the teacher can create tasks which will help them explore. There are few schools which takes advantage of this. To do this you need not only infrastructure but also teachers who are both capable and enthusiastic about using ICT and devising explorations for students.
Otherwise if ICT is used only by the teacher then I feel it further dis-empowers the student in the long run unless they can revisit as and when they need/choose to.
Definitely ICT never becomes
Definitely ICT never becomes a substitute to teacher. But it is a strong teaching learning aid for teachers and students. It makes things easy for teachers and students. But the problem is, the content we are using in ICT aided classes is designed by experts of IT sector, but not by the experts of Education sector. If teachers involve in the preparation of ICT aided classes content then it will be most meaningful and useful. Mean while teachers should well aware of ICT aided class room teaching process. Then only they can execute it properly. And finally it should be a part of teaching and learning, but it should not be the whole of teaching and learning.

Hi Sharon,
Your .6 alpha is correct, the .9 is artificially inflated by your inclusion of missing values. Respondents who didn't answer one question also tended not to answer others. Unless they are coded as missing (.) Stata assumes they are valid responses.
Additionally, the .6 score is only borderline acceptable. This is my opinion here but I would say that the index is only acceptable at .6 if you have strong theoretical reasons to expect unidimensionality and it sounds like you do not.
Have you used the -item suffix on the alpha command? It would be nice to know what items are driving the index... I suspect some are possibly even detracting from it.
Lastly, remember that Stata will reverse code variables automatically if they fit with the index better that way. So be sure to check that as well.
Have you tried including the variables in your model as is? Do you encounter colinearity?

Subject: st: Does there exist measurement error when I got high Cronbach's alpha?
Dear all:
I got quite high Cronbach's alphas (0.9) for five-factor personality traits
(extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and
intellect). With such high values, can I argue that there may still exist
measurement errors in the measures for five-factor personality traits?
Another question is about the computation of Cronbach's alpha. I got
different values of alpha when using different computation procedure: the
key difference happened when I recoded the responses of five factors
personality to "missing values" when the original responses were "-3" (i.e.
no questions answered) or "-2" (i.e. information incomplete). For example,
for the extraversion measure, the range of the score should be 5 to 50
points, when I recoded the response "-3" or "-2" to "missing value", the
sample size was reduced by around 680, since the number of observations who
didn't answer the questions about extraversion or didn't provide complete
information for each item were 680, and the alpha coefficient fell from 0.9
to 0.6. So is it correct to do such recoding when computing alpha
Your response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Remember this?
Well, it just ain't Harlem voters that were ill informed.
John Ziegler, a former libertarian talk radio show host in LA, has been doing documentary and interview videos for Citizens United. He recently made an appearance on FNC's Hannity and Colmes to talk about his new upcoming video, "Media Malpractice... How Obama Got Elected" featured at the website: HowObamaGotElected.com
The information he presented coincided with a Zogby Poll which described the following results:
512 Obama Voters questioned from 11/13/08-11/15/08 with a Margin of Error of +/- 4.4 points
Educational Demographics - 97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates
Results to simple Multiple Choice Questions
57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
And yet.....
Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes
Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter
And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her "house," even though that was Tina Fey who actually said that!!
Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.
Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we "gave" one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)
Here is the full promotional video:
A lot of people want to blame the voters for not getting informed, but I blame two groups:
- The main stream media which was overwhelmingly in the tank for Obama and did not give unbiased new reporting
- The INFORMED voters
I do believe that there were Obama voters who did know the issues and voted on him because of those issues. However, based on the Stern video as well as other factors, including the majority of news outlets who blatantly favored Obama, activist groups like MoveOn.org and ACORN, contemptuous bloggers at the Daily KOS and the Huffington Post, etc., it is very clear that the majority of people who voted did not have an informed grasp of the candidates or the campaign issues.
Because of those factors, the real blame falls on us, the informed voters of this nation. A lot of us did get out there to try and help educate people (our good friend SNOOPER comes to mind); more of us joined the various political action committees to help with education, but most of us blogged and did our best from behind the computers we used. AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM!
We can blog all we want, but unless we actually interact with people, they aren't just going to login and read stuff at Hot Air or Powerline.
There is such a culture of fuzzy lies out there that people just don't know what to believe anymore when it comes to politics.
George Washington had it dead on correct when he said, "Promote then, as an object of primary importance, Institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."
Our nation's public opinion has been kidnapped, raped and murdered by those with an agenda that is not in the best interest of America, and by God's will of His majestic grace, it is time that the people of this nation take it back.
We have got to convince our fellow Americans that "We the people" means the ones who do the voting, not the elites in the media, on Wall Street or in the respective governments of this nation. When someone has the courage to run for public office, and if they are granted the will of the people to be elected or appointed to that office, then it is to the people they owe their allegiances and it is the people to whom they serve!
We can start now, or we can waste our time complaining about why our guy lost and wait until the next primary season to promulgate truth and facts to the people of this nation.
Don't wait for the candidates or their campaigns or even the PACs to spread the word. Get out there among your friends and neighbors and start campaigning for America's future now. Help give them the tools they need to make an informed decision at election time. That way, even if the other guy wins again, at least it will be because people voted the issues and their conscience and NOT because they fell in love with an IDOL and couldn't tell us about the candidate, the running mate or their opponents or the issues.
It's time for us to do our part for America's future and our fellow Americans!
It's time for us to lead a new revolution to take back what has wrongly been taken from us!
It's time for us to let the people in power know that their power is fleeting and is predicated on what WE say and do!
It's time for us to bypass a recent campaign slogan and truly put COUNTRY FIRST!
It's time for us to realize that it is up to US to live up to our rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!"
It's time for us to stop following the trends of this world and lead the world in truth and justice!
It's time for us to stop taking notice of how wrong everyone else is and start standing up for what is right so that others will take notice!
It's time for us to help every American understand again that the government of this nation is truly of the people, by the people and for the people!

Good Neighbors Key to Surviving A Crisis
New research confirms what many of us already know: The more you know your neighbors, the better off you will be when disaster strikes.
For their new study, researchers from the University of Arizona School of Anthropology found that communities that were more connected with their neighbors had a better chance of successfully managing a crisis than communities with fewer outside connections.
"In a lot of modern research in crisis management, people are looking at how communities mobilize along social networks to overcome traumatic environmental crises, like we saw with Hurricane Katrina," said Lewis Borck, lead author of the study and a Ph.D. candidate in the University of Arizona School of Anthropology in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences.
"We've known for a long time that people rely on social networks during times of crisis. What we didn't know, or at least what we haven't really been able to demonstrate, is exactly what happened to the social networks at a regional scale as people began to rely on them, or how people modified and changed their networks in reaction to social and environmental crises. This research gives us insight into that."
For the study, Borck and his co-authors, including anthropology professor Dr. Barbara Mills, focused on the years 1200-1400, which included the 1276-1299 megadrought in the southwestern United States.
To understand how different communities interacted with one another, the researchers examined data gathered by the Southwest Social Networks Project. The project maintains a database of millions of ceramic and obsidian artifacts, compiled by Mills and collaborators at Archaeology Southwest.
When the same types of ceramics are found in similar proportions in different communities, it indicates that a relationship existed between those communities, the researchers explained.
Borck and his research team studied the relationships of 22 different subareas in the Southwest, based on an analysis of 800,000 painted ceramics from more than 700 archeological sites.
What they found is that during the 23-year drought, relationships between many groups grew stronger, as people turned to their neighbors for support and resources, such as food and information.
"It seemed to be a way to mobilize resources and to increase your variability of resources, by increasing your interaction with more distant people," Borck said.
"The Hopi people, still present in what is now northern Arizona, are an example of a population that employed this type of crisis management," he said.
Still, some groups remained more insular, he noted.
The study found that communities with larger social networks had a better chance of withstanding the drought without having to migrate, and for a longer period, than the more insular groups.
"Most of the groups that were only interacting with other communities in their group didn't persist in place," he said. "They all migrated out."
There was one exception — the Zuni people, who, despite not having strong external social networks, remain in western New Mexico to this day, Borck pointed out. Their success was probably due to the large population and the diversity of resources available within the area they inhabited, he suggested.
Mills said the study provides empirical support for the importance of social networks in times of crisis.
"A lot of people have hypothesized that this process of having more extensive social networks is sort of a backup strategy for people, but this is one of the first times we've been able to demonstrate it at a very large, regional scale," she said.
"It backs up a lot of these hypotheses about 'social storage' being as important as the real storage of actual items," she continued. "The flip side is that if you are highly insular and protectionist and don't interact with a lot your neighbors, you're really susceptible."
The study was published in the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory.

JACKSON — Mississippi's only abortion clinic continued seeing patients yesterday, the day after a federal judge temporarily stopped the state from closing it.
Several people wearing florescent yellow vests labeled "Clinic Escort" helped women find parking places and walked with them into the cherry pink building in a Jackson retail district. Outside an iron fence that separates Jackson Women's Health Organization from the street, abortion opponents stood on a sidewalk and implored women not to end their pregnancies.
"Mom, come talk to us. Your baby is a precious gift from God," Leslie Hanks of Denver, who has been vice president of Colorado Right to Life, said to one woman. "Please don't go in and see people who kill babies, ma'am."
The woman kept walking without glancing at Hanks.
One of the clinic escorts, Laurie Bertram Roberts, of Jackson, wore a T-shirt with the slogan, "I (Heart) My Abortion Provider."
"No matter what side of the abortion issue you stand on, it should be important that women are not harassed, that they are not terrorized, that they are not stopped when they are trying to access safe and legal care in America, and that's what happens to women trying to come in and out of clinics," said Roberts, Mississippi president of the National Organization for Women. "And so we're here to try to put our bodies between protesters and patients as they come in and out of the clinic."
U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III ruled Monday that the state can't close Jackson Women's Health Organization while the clinic still has a federal lawsuit pending. No trial date has been set.
The suit, filed last summer, challenges a 2012 state law that requires each OB-GYN who does abortions at the clinic to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. The clinic acknowledges it has been unable to get the privileges.
Jordan allowed the law to take effect last July 1, but he blocked the state from closing the clinic while the clinic tried to get admitting privileges. Such privileges can be difficult to obtain, because hospitals often won't give them to out-of-state physicians. The clinic uses out-of-state OB-GYNs, including one from Chicago.
Jordan's ruling Monday extended his earlier injunction. It also canceled a license revocation hearing that had been set for Thursday.
Inside Jackson Women's Health Organization on Tuesday, clinic owner Diane Derzis told The Associated Press that the judge's ruling was a victory, but she believes women's reproductive rights remain under attack from politicians in conservative states.
"This is just a battle in the overall war. It takes a little of the pressure off," said Derzis, who also owns women's health clinics in Alabama, Georgia and Virginia.
The state Department of Health gave notice to Jackson Women's Health Organization in late January that it intended to revoke the clinic's license. The clinic was allowed to stay open as it awaited the license revocation hearing.
Derzis — who refers to anti-abortion activists as "anti's" — said the hearing would've been predictable.
"We all knew the outcome. We were in noncompliance. The state knew we were in noncompliance," Derzis said. "But, it would've been a dog and pony show with anti's and everybody trying to push their point across. So, I think it's a lot better for everybody that that's not going to take place."
Meanwhile, Mississippi Right to Life leaders said Tuesday that they're filing a complaint with the state Health Department, saying the clinic fails to provide statistics about pregnancies it terminates with abortion-inducing drugs.
"JWHO has been advertising and performing non-surgical chemical abortions for several years and has never reported any of them to the state. Thus, JWHO is in non-compliance with state law," Barbara Whitehead, the group's president, said in a letter to the state health officer.
Derzis said the clinic files information with the Health Department, specifying the method for each abortion it does.
Health Department spokeswoman Liz Sharlot said Tuesday that the state's health officer, Dr. Mary Currier, had received the Mississippi Right to Life complaint. "We will certainly look into it," Sharlot said.

The Evolution of CX Is Here – The TaskUs New York CX Summit 2017
Recently, TaskUs proudly hosted our bi-annual CX Summit in New York City with more than 100 people for a day of engaging, inspiring and intimate conversations about how to continuously improve the customer experience and delight customers. Speakers and participants from disruptive brands like HelloFresh, MailChimp, TravelZoo, Baublebar, onefinestay, Spring, Snap, Casper, Avant and Rent the Runway joined us for a great day!
A Fireside Chat with Danny Meyer
Our CX Summit opened with the highly-anticipated fireside chat with Danny Meyer, the CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group. Danny is the renowned NYC restauranteur responsible for such successes as Union Square Café and Gramercy Tavern (and a dozen other NYC staples). He was on Time's list of 100 most influential people in the world and, of course, started Shake Shack. His passionate belief that treating guest the way he wants to be treated is one of the top reasons patrons return to his restaurants time after time and why these establishments have consistently rank in Zagat's top restaurants in NYC for decades.
CSAT & eCommerce--How They Can Work Together
Building on this opening keynote, the remainder of the morning was filled with discussions about the challenges facing e-commerce companies that don't have the luxury of storefronts to connect with customers. These retailers are turning to cutting-edge technology solutions that deliver a personalized customer experience to drive high CSAT and brand loyalty. And these decisions are paying off. Companies like Baublebar have extremely satisfied customers who are incredibly loyal to the brand, relying on video calls to offer conversational support and help customers choose the right baubles for a girls' night out or a can't-miss wedding.
Delivering Happiness--Happy Employees Equal Happy Customers
In the afternoon, Jenn Lim from Delivering Happiness talked about how Zappos has built an enduring brand through values-based company culture, putting the employees first and actually using happiness as a business model, something that can be applied in every environment. Happy employees strive to deliver exceptional customer service, making the customer experience positive, memorable and impactful, and this ultimately leads to deep, meaningful brand loyalty.
Live Case Study with TaskUs Consulting
As we wrapped up our day, we presented a live case study about how TaskUs Consulting has worked with one of our clients to optimize Zendesk and unravel the pain points they had from years of using Zendesk and GoodData in sub-optimal ways. Simple rules and would-be temporary workarounds resulted in an uncontrollable monster for them, leaving them with a mashup of data and unreliable reporting. The TaskUs Consulting team dove right in with the client to unravel and clarify their GoodData Reporting together, enabling them to better identify and solve inefficiencies. It was a natural next step for us in an already- strong client partnership.
TaskUs Consulting is built on our 4-phase approach that delivers tailored and impactful solutions with every project we execute. We understand your need to achieve results and realize ROI in weeks and months rather than quarters and years, which is why our services focus on high impact insights and solutions that will drive your business forward fast.
Want More Information?
The day was dedicated to learnings from the smartest brands about how they are delivering personalized content, offering unique product recommendations and anticipating customer support questions, all before a customer ever reaches out with a question or problem. If you're a CX expert, these are conversations tailored specifically for you.
If you'd like to learn more about how TaskUs and TaskUs Consulting can help you drive excellence in your customer experience and optimize your core technology, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com!

Star Trek: Patrick Stewart Thinks Fans May Be Shocked By Picard
Patrick Stewart returns to the Star Trek universe in Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access. The series, set to debut in 2020, sees Stewart reprise his role as Jean-Luc Picard, former captain of the USS Enterprise. The first season of the series wrapped in August and Stewart returning home to the United Kingdom. During a visit to the University of Huddersfield, Stewart admitted that the decision to return to his Star Trek: The Generation character was a challenging one to make. "I don't regard it as going back," he said, according to Examiner Live. "In fact, we are definitely moving the series forward and that's what made the difference for me. It was a very difficult decision."
Stewart goes onto say that the story reflects the reality we all live with now. He expects some fans may be surprised by what Picard has in store for them. "We are looking at a new world with new objectives, problems and issues that could not have been raised when we were making The Next Generation and I found that very exciting," Stewart says. "It's very exciting and people will be surprised and perhaps even shocked."
The trailer for Star Trek: Picard released at San Diego Comic-Con 2019. The show sees Picard assembling a crew for a mission to protect a mysterious young woman named Dahj (Isa Briones) who shares a connection with him. The ship's crew includes cast members Santiago Cabrera (Cristobal "Chris" Rios), Michelle Hurd (Raffi Musiker), Alison Pill (Dr. Agnes Jurati), Harry Treadaway (Narek) and Evan Evagora (Elnor).
The trailer also reveals that some familiar faces will return in the new series. Brent Spiner reprises his role as Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Star Trek: Voyager's Jeri Ryan returns as Seven of Nine. The Borg will also play a role in the series. While not featured in the trailer, the series will also see the returns of Jonathan Frakes as Will Riker and Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi.0comments
Julie McNamara, head of content for CBS All Access, described the show as a hybrid of classic Star Trek: The Next Generation and the newer Star Trek: Discovery. "I would say that it is in production, sort of size and scope, probably more similar to Discovery," McNamara said, speaking to press at the TCA press tour. "In terms of the characters and the nature of the storytelling, probably more like Next Generation. But of course, we're a number of years later now so there are some shifts in the storytelling style but I think it's a really nice hybrid of the two."
Are you excited the first season of Star Trek: Picard? Let us know what you think in the comments. Star Trek: Picard comes to CBS All Access in early 2020.

Pauline Hanson and Adani cop sprays in Midnight Oil's Brisbane return
"Nothing's changed." You heard it over and over again, uttered almost incredulously as thousands of Oils fans poured out of the Riverstage.
They came in ponchos, even swimming caps and lifeguard uniforms. But for the most part, two hours of politically charged, dancing-compulsory Aussie rock seemed to keep the weather at bay after 15 years almost entirely missing from live venues across the country.
Looking more comfortable than he ever did with the letters MP after his name, Australia's favourite praying mantis Peter Garrett was moving like a misfiring jackhammer within seconds of taking the stage.
The former member for Kingsford Smith set the agenda early.
"This is a musical adventure, a cultural visitation, a little bit of entertainment, a few comments from the stage and plenty of music for you," Garrett announced after opening the show with Dreamworld, Feeding Frenzy and Too Much Sunshine.
It could only have been ironic given the weather dished up on the Queensland leg of Midnight Oil's The Great Circle tour so far.
This was what 9000-odd ready-to-be-drenched punters had come to see.
Comments from the stage: you could probably guess who was on the receiving end of those.
Indian miner Adani, or more accurately the people trying to stop its Carmichael mine in central Queensland, was never going to escape a song dedication for Blue Sky Mine.
"To the Premier, Ms Palaszczuk, and the Prime Minister, Mr Turnbull," Garrett declared later in the evening.
"Having served in one of these buildings, I know what it is like.
"I also know that governments can do things if people really want them to and so, making sure that this water-swallowing robotised mega-mine doesn't destroy the planet or the Great Barrier Reef is our number one task and we will not give in."
And of course, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson earned a barb, not to be "rude to the person in question" but just for "what comes out of her mouth and her ideas and philosophies".
"Amongst many of which are totally objectionable, morally repugnant and dumb," Garrett said, to loud cheers.
And music? The Oils had that in spades.
About an hour-and-a-half in, the 42-year-old band chained together Beds are Burning, The Dead Heart, Blue Sky Mine, Power and the Passion and Forgotten Years.
Having already pulled out Short Memory, US Forces, When the Generals Talk, Yothu Yindi's Treaty and a host of others, you could have been forgiven for wondering what they'd left up their sleeves for an encore.
Twenty minutes later, after King of the Mountain, Best of Both Worlds, One Country and a rollicking version of the Saints' Know Your Product, they still weren't quite done.
At 64, Garrett was indomitable, winding his way across the stage like an oversized stork lost to the rhythm.
Rob Hirst behind the kit was in lockstep with Bones Hillman's bass all night, only faltering slightly on vocals for Kosciusko. But the man played a drum solo on a rainwater tank and sounded great the rest of the night so who the hell cares.
Martin Rotsey's guitar was alternately searing and crunching at the appropriate times while Jim Moginie brought to life the keys and everything else he touched.
The five-piece, assisted by a brass trio for much of the night, sounded enormous, particularly as Jimmy Sharman's Boxers built from a darkly lit, red-soaked throb to a crescendo.
Garrett apologised for not playing all night like at "Alex Hills about 15 years ago" but nonetheless broke through the Riverstage's notoriously expensive 10pm curfew to end with Sometimes.
If Nick Cave's claim that the council "fine you by the minute" is true, Brisbane's ratepayers could be in for a little windfall.

What is CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE in a Civil Lawsuit in New York?
NY Medical Malpractice & Personal Injury Lawyer Gerry Oginski Explains
Email: email@example.com
Let's say you're driving down the highway.
You come upon a car that is smashed in.
The driver is bleeding badly.
There's smoke coming out of the engine bay.
There are skid marks on the road.
You didn't see what happened.
What conclusions can you draw from those observations?
(1) There had to have been some sort of accident.
Even though you didn't see it, you know from your knowledge of how cars work that cars often don't wind up on the side of the road without some type of accident.
(2) The driver suffered massive trauma.
You also know that in the absence of a terrible crash, drivers often don't experience the terrible injuries that you witnessed.
(3) The smoke coming from the engine suggests this happened only moments ago.
But wait!
You DIDN'T SEE HOW THIS HAPPENED!
How can you draw those conclusions?
Those facts are evidence.
You're missing the direct link that SHOWS YOU how this tragedy unfolded.
Since you weren't there you know know precisely HOW THIS crash happened.
Your mind has already started piecing together how this happened.
Your mind begins to fill in the blanks where we don't have direct evidence.

SB 6302 prohibits cities from regulating or limiting the number of unrelated persons who may occupy a household or dwelling unit, beyond any restrictions on occupant load of the structure under the building code.
The stated goal of the proposal, sponsored by Sen. Christine Rolfes (D–Bainbridge Island), is to eliminate enforcement of these provisions as one means to address the housing crisis and prevent discrimination against nontraditional households.
We have heard that some cities use these ordinances to prevent unregulated boarding homes, but we have also heard that the ordinances are very difficult to enforce and may raise constitutional questions.
We would appreciate your perspective on whether this is a problematic bill or not.
SB 6302 is scheduled for public hearing in the Senate Housing Stability & Affordability Committee at 1:30 pm on Monday, January 20.

Poems and Poetry About Making The World a Better Place - We are All Connected
We are all connected
To every living thing,
From the tiniest amoeba
To the wild bird that sings,
From the rivers and the oceans
To smallest babbling brook
To the treetops high above us
To the earth trampled underfoot,
We are all connected
One unto another,
Every single one of us
A sister or a brother,
From the Aborigines
Living in ancient tribal lands
To every single immigrant
To land on foreign sands,
We are all connected.
We are all connected
To the moon and earth and sky,
To the planets and the stars
To majestic mountains high,
From the flowers in the field
To the wind whispering in the leaves
To every hill and rock and plant
To every thing that breathes,
We are all connected.
We are all connected
To our friend and to our foe,
From the most aged one amongst us
To each new baby as it grows,
From the farmer or the merchant
To every living being
From the lowliest of peasants
To the richest earthly kings,
We are all connected.
We are all connected
To the clouds and wind and rain,
To the sunlight as it dances
On meadow, hills and plain,
To the tiny crystal of a snowflake
To the swirling cloud of dust
From the bonds called love and family
To anger, joy, pain and lust,
We are all connected.
We are all connected
To creatures great and small,
From the tiny aye-aye
To the giraffe standing graceful and so tall,
From the gentle little lamb
To ferocious roaring beast
To all that fly or swim or walk,
From north, south, west or east,
We are all connected.
We are all connected
To what we choose to do or not,
From lessons collectively learned
To those yet to be taught,
From pride and angst and prejudice
To greed and war and hate
From moral and immoral
To destiny and fate,
We are all connected.
We are all connected
From first down to the last,
To wisdom and to ignorance
To guidance as is passed,
From each new generation
To the one that came before
To the history of that which was
To that remembered or ignored,
We are all connected.
We are all connected
To the universe its true,
To the One who made us all
To the lies and to the truth,
To the wrong and to the right
To the difference that we make
To the path which lies ahead
To the road we choose to take,
We are all connected.
About This Poem
I recently watched a documentary that was entitled, "I Am." It offered a stunning look at our place in the universe, and supported my long standing theory that we are all connected not only to each other, but to everything that surrounds us. Singularly, we cannot change the world, and we certainly cannot change the world in one day, or even one year; but wouldn't it be amazing if we all began , just a little at a time, to remember when making decisions and choices, to take into consideration that we may be impacting not only ourselves, but everyone and everything around us?

Discuss this Recipe
You should all know by now how much I love my Jake! He loves pumpkin and apple so I thought a meatloaf would be a great recipe for him. He will just love it crumbled in with his kibbles!
My plan was to make it in a loaf pan but they are all packed. Until we move I need to be a little creative in the kitchen. This was easy; I just formed the loaf on a lined baking sheet and it worked perfect. We actually cut the loaf and half and Jake shared with his BFF RJ.
I hope you make this recipe for your dog - I am promise you lots of kisses..
When I was a little girl my grandmother and I would make pies but only eat the filling. As an adult I am still not a crust person! I decided to make pumpkin pie the other night and found a great way to enjoy it crustless!!
I have been on a pumpkin kick the past few weeks but I have to say – I need to walk away from this paleo pumpkin bread… Try this with myPumpkin Butter.
I have used this paleo bread recipe in to many desserts or just sliced and enjoyed with a cup of tea.
I just love my Le Creuset Pumpkin Cocotte's and they are just perfect for this dessert!
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Yes this bundt cake is delicious! Enjoy xo
You can use ground beef but I love the turkey and pumpkin combination. This is perfect for the fall.
I love to top with diced avocado!
I just love pumpkin square. To me it's a pumpkin pie without the thick crust. You can add 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or raisins if you prefer.
Do not use pumpkin pie filling in this recipe!
I called this pudding so my granddaughter would try this with me and we both loved it so much! I did sprinkle a little chocolate and cinnamon on top for us! (Made us smile together) Just made it a little extra special for us to enjoy together.. There is something special about a granddaughter especially when it is Brooke…
When I made my second batch I put in small canning jars so after my Crossfit workout I just gave the jar a shake, sprinkled extra cinnamon and added pumpkin seeds. yum… Now off to start my day…..
This is paleo friendly! Enjoy..
I was making a pumpkin bread and 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree left over and decided to make Jake cookies. We brought some for his cousins to enjoy for Thanksgiving!
I was looking in my pantry and it's a l little chilly in Massachusetts so baking sounded good to me. I don't do a lot of baking but I was looking at a can of pumpkin puree and grabbed it and these bars were made!
I brought 1/2 of the bars to my son's house and everyone loved them!
These are really yummy...
Thanks to Shop Rite for all of the ingredients to prepare this paleo dessert for my blog!
Jake loves pumpkin and it's so good for our dogs! I also added these in the Christmas jars.

VUB test helps athletes avoid 'overtraining syndrome'
Launched some 20 years ago, VUB's Top test has proven to accurately diagnose the onset of overtraining, which can ruin an athlete's career
Crossing the line
To ensure that athletes don't cross this line, researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) have designed the diagnostic Top test.
All athletes know that they need sufficient rest to recuperate from demanding physical labour and "listen to their body" when it tells them something is wrong. But this instinct is sometimes pushed aside because of ambitions to become even faster, ever better.
This can actually result in athletes becoming "overtrained". Which is not a disaster, unless they develop the so-called overtraining syndrome.
No going back
"The first stage of overtraining is called non-functional overreaching, or Nfor," says professor Romain Meeusen, head of the VUB's department of human physiology. "This can generally be alleviated by taking a few weeks or months of rest, with no real training."
But if the problem is not detected and dealt with in time, it can lead to overtraining syndrome (OTS). It can take years to recover from the condition, and athletes normally never reach their former level again.
The trouble is that both conditions have pretty much the same symptoms: decreasing performance, extreme tiredness, psychological issues and hormonal disruptions. That's why the VUB developed its unique Top (training optimisation) test.
Researchers measure the levels of hormones coming from the pituitary gland that are good indicators of stressors in the body
The test was put into use some 20 years ago, and just last month a data analysis of 100 participants confirmed how well it has been working.
Before they take the Top test, athletes first undergo a traditional medical check-up, including full blood work, to rule out any other illnesses. The Top test then consists of cycling or running tests, in which the intensity of the exercise is gradually increased.
The researchers measure specifically the levels of certain hormones coming from the pituitary gland in the brain that are good indicators of stressors in the body. There is a break of about four hours between the two tests.
The reaction of the hormones during the second test is crucial. If those reactions are stronger than during the first test, the athlete has Nfor. If the pituitary gland is lethargic during the second test, then the athlete has OTS.
Every year, about 30 local and international athletes take the Top test at VUB. Meeusen (pictured above) recalls the case of a British athlete who in 2000 had made it to the 10,000 metre final at the Sydney Olympic Games, but struggled afterwards.
"He had been training and sleeping at a high altitude for a long period of time to get even stronger, but this had had adverse effects and profoundly disrupted his sleep as well," says Meeusen. "We found he had overtraining syndrome, and he unfortunately never performed at his previous level again."
Most of the athletes who suffer from overtraining are active in endurance sports, like cycling or long-distance running, because these require long training sessions and a particularly high level of stamina.
Amateur-level athletes even more at risk
Physical exertion is, however, not the only factor in overtraining. Mental health can also have a big impact. Think, for example, of the constant pressure of professional sport and the loneliness experienced during long journeys away from home.
And while professional athletes are vulnerable to overtraining, recreational athletes run an even larger risk. "Professionals are extensively monitored and assisted to train as efficiently as possible," explains Meeusen. "Amateurs don't have this kind of support and generally also have to combine their training with a job and responsibilities at home."
Whatever kind of athlete, once the diagnosis is carried out, different treatment options can be tried to help with recovery. Treatment depends on the specific situation.
Some might need physiotherapy, for example, while others might seek the help of a sport psychologist. But they all have to get sufficient rest and refrain from training for a while – which is of course very frustrating for athletes.
To prevent overtraining from occurring, VUB and Ghent University have developed together a kind of digital diary for athletes, which coaches can also use to monitor the physical and mental health of their athletes.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you fight...
Grand Island, NE last night. Great turnout, great presentation, low return.
What do you do when you know you spoke well, yet didn't yield the results you wanted? There's a lot that goes into the success of any presentation, beyond the success of the presentation itself. That is, you can speak well, but there are many other factors at work.
Let's assume (despite the fact that that is one of the biggest mistakes to make) that you were brilliant. The sound and video were perfect. The room was full and you have a great product, service, idea or inspirational perspective to offer the audience.What can go wrong?
1) People Have a Life....and sometimes it doesn't go well. Bad days don't mix well with evening sales presentations - motivational/inspirational speakers have a better shot to turn bad days around than sales folk do, but it's still an uphill battle.
2) People Have Finances...and they can't always buy, no matter how much they want to. Are you in a financially depressed area with an audience to match? I can't control who comes to my presentations, but if you work for yourself, be sure to manage your marketing to an audience who can afford you and your solutions.
3) People Have Priorities...and if your offering doesn't shift them, you're out of luck.
4) People Like to Wait...particularly here in the Great Midwest, where the 'sleep on it' mantra is nearly a biblical commandment. Be patient, results can improve with time.
5) People Don't Like Your Offer...not everything is for everyone, everywhere. No matter how great it is. If you don't like carrots, and all I've got is carrots, you'll go buy your peas elsewhere. Even if I tell you my carrots taste like peas if you close your eyes and see your goal of eating peas.
6) People Don't Like You...yeah it happens. You can't be everyone's favorite flavor. Maybe it was your suit, your accent, or just the fact you reminded them of someone that used to beat them up in the third grade. Get over it, make sure you didn't have ketchup on your tie or toilet paper flowing from the back of your shoes, and move on with life.
If you think of more - please add some below.
The bottom line is to remember that you can only control what you can control. That's not an excuse, that's a fact. Control your attitude, you interactions, your dress, your delivery, your equipment, your stage environment, all to the best of your ability at the time. Take a moment after each presentation and do a self-inventory, and adjust for next time. As long as you know you are putting forth the best effort you can, let the result chips fall where they may. If you're not doing the best you can...well, that's an issue for a different post :)
Tonight's a new night. Time to get ready to Speak...& Deliver!

Meal preparation takes time, energy, and resources from anyone. If you feel overwhelmed in preparing your meals, the more it can be overwhelming to the elderly. For one, seniors now have decreased mobility and cannot move as freely as they used to. They now have health challenges, too, that discourage them from being in action in the kitchen. It is also highly inadvisable for them to chop, boil, bake, and carry equipment around the kitchen because of the dangers they pose.
When you think about it, even healthy adults get accidents in the kitchen. They get cuts, burns, and worse, slips and falls. If these accidents happen to adults, the risk is even greater among seniors. The elderly would need twice the amount of effort to walk to and from the kitchen, to wash dishes and utensils, prepare ingredients, do the cooking, and do the washing all over again. So, seniors are not advised to do tons of cooking, especially those already struggling with ill health.
Meal delivery and meal kit delivery companies (here's a Terra's Kitchen menu review) aim to target the elderly in their services, and so it is no surprise as to why market studies are being done on the subject. What exactly are the challenges that the elderly face in meal preparation, and what can be done to go past these hurdles? Here are some of the most common problems:
1. Having to cook for one
Having to cook for just one person is a major roadblock in meal preparation for the elderly. For one, do you think it is but wise to spend at least one hour a day to cut, slice, and grind ingredients for one dish? If the ingredients have already been prepared, and all the person has to do is to chuck them all in one pot, then prepping up would turn out to be so much easier.
It is best for someone to do the planning of meals to make dishes interesting. This person must know the elderly and should know his/her food preferences. By doing this, the repeat of dishes will be avoided. Thus, allowing the elderly to receive a diverse variety of nutrients, and a range of tastes available for every day.
2. The use of heavy and sharp equipment
The use of heavy, sharp, and complicated equipment and utensils is a big challenge for many seniors; thus, discouraging them from wanting to prepare meals. It is understandable though since the elderly have decreased mobility, limiting the activities that they can do. If they have to carry, use, and wash heavy equipment, then it will only shoo them away from cooking at home.
The solve this, the recommended meal plan should also put the utensils needed for the picture. The preparation of dishes should steer away from the use of complicated equipment. The simpler the utensils are, the better it is for the elderly.
The person or team curating a meal plan for the elderly should first know his/her food preferences, as well as his/her food allergies and health conditions. And then, easy-to-prepare and straightforward dishes can be included in the plan. Meal kit deliveries are a perfect fit for the elderly, as long as the preparation of dishes chosen does not require lots of time and equipment. What's great with meal kit deliveries is the company already prepares all ingredients for you, and all you have to do is to cook the dish according to the recipe. For the elderly, cooking is also a great way for them to sharpen their memory.

gave the necessary information on the ground, and at 5.30 p. m. the fire had been checked and was being gradually forced back. Explosions of shell still continued. Captain Owen, acting quartermaster, has lost all his stores; forage burnt. Some horses and mules are reported to have broken loose and are saved. Of the immediate cause of the explosion there are none to tell. Captain Beebe's employes in charge of the stores state that ammunition was being transferred from the railroad to the warehouse by a detail of colored troops. A lieutenant commanding the squad at the warehouse, and having more men than he could use at the time, allowed the idle men to lounge in the warehouse about the ammunition. He was admonished of the danger, but to no purpose. The employe then procured an order from the captain of the company for the lieutenant to send him twenty men, the surplus, and upon returning found the lieutenant absent and the men still more reckless. On leaving the warehouse the lieutenant was found on board the steamer Kate Dale and the order delivered. The employe then left, and when two or three blocks off the explosion occurred. The report that it is the work of an incendiary receives little credit. It is reported that paroled prisoners quartered near have suffered severely. The fire appears [to] extend over about two acres and a half and there are about six acres of ruined buildings. The whole northeast quarter of the city has a dilapidated appearance. The windows and ceiling of the custom-house shattered. Killed and wounded probably 500, which, with the severe loss of property to the army, cannot yet be estimated properly. All officers are actively engaged. The ruins are covered with dense smoke. I send map inclosed.*

Rafa Benitez was upbeat at his press conference and interviews yesterday afternoon.
One very positive thing was that Mikel Merino signed a new five year permanent deal for the club after playing only 7 first team games for Newcastle on loan from Borussia Dortmund.
That was a bit of a surprise that it had come so early, but Rafa had said a couple of weeks ago it would not be difficult to sign Merino permanently.
It's great that we got the 21-year-old signed up before other clubs realize just how good this lad is – he could be destined for greatness at Newcastle.
And we had only just signed up Jamaal Lascelles to a new six-year deal, so Rafa is signing up his best young players to long-term contracts to keep them at Newcastle.
New permanent signing – Mikel Merino
Rafa believes things are positive at Newcastle as he had this to say yesterday as reported in the Chronicle:
"There's been a lot of good news, and that's good for the club."
"I want to be fair with all of them. Merino's been really well since the beginning. The fans they love him. He was playing well, and he was OK."
"Also Jamaal, when we talk about a center-back, an English center-back, a young center-back, a captain of the team and still very young, you're talking about a player who has the potential."
"I think he's learning about his job, on the pitch, and off the pitch, so he has the potential."
"He can become much better because he's keen to learn. He wants to improve."
We were disappointed at the summer transfer window, but Merino has been a pleasant surprise since he arrived.
We didn't know too much about the youngster, but Rafa seems to have signed an excellent young player who will only get better at Newcastle.
And things will be even more positive for the club if we can beat Southampton at St. Mary's tomorrow, and about half of our fans think we can do just that.
Comments welcome.

I've mentioned this in a previous post, but I realized that I liked to design blog sites and I like to write so why not mesh those two things together and create a blog right?
I never thought I would gain followers, share this platform with friends and family or even share it with the world, but here I am.
Tabia's Thoughts started out as a way for me to let off steam, but also show my journalistic talents. There have been many, MANY times in the past where I questioned why I still had this platform and wondered if I should abandon it, but my drive wouldn't let me….and I'm glad.
I am not the most consistent blogger on the face of the planet, because this isn't my full time job, but I think I am very passionate about what I talk about. I'm trying to change the scope of my blog by incorporating more of my personal life. I want you all to get to know me and understand who I am. I want this to be my baby and I want to become a family with my readers.
For those of you who have been here for a while, thank you for following along with me on this crazy ride. If you're new, welcome and thanks for following along.
Why did you start your blog? If you haven't started yet, what's holding you back?

We dream our little ones will grow up to be happy and healthy and live in a beautiful world where they will be loved and cherished. We dream they will be strong and creative and ready for anything the world throws their way, and then we spend our days trying to make our dreams come true by working to create a world that is ready for them. In the spirit of creating a better world, Pali has been working alongside parents for more than 95 years to bring more beauty and safety into our world and create spaces for your little ones to grow.
The Leone place is the perfect place for your little one to start dreaming. Leone is the Italian word for lion, and tradition has it that when one dreams of lions, the royal king of the jungle, they represent strength and courage. Those traits are things that we all wish for the royal little ones in our lives. The Leone Crib is designed in Italy by Italian designers and is deeply rooted in classical design principles. The clean lines and strong stance of this crib hearken back to a time of simple beauty. The crib frame is surrounded by lovely wooden slats and offset by angled legs that provide a mid-century detail. A solid beech mattress support allows for you to position the mattress in three places, making it easy to adjust as your little one grows. There is also a coordinating rail sold separately that can transition the crib into a toddler bed.
Each part of this adorable piece is crafted in our Italian factory that sits in the rural countryside at the base of the Dolomite mountains. Our commitment to sustainability and safety complement our design, and in that spirit, the Leone Crib is built with the finest sustainably harvested European beech wood and finished with non toxic finishes that are tested to assure they meet all safety standards. Each part of the crib and the additional railing are JPMA certified, so you know that the Leone Crib is a safe choice for your little one. In keeping with our focus on design that delights, the Leone is offered in a two-toned finish. In each version the slats are Natural wood color, but you have the option to choose either a White or Gray finish for the frame.
Toddler Rail also available.
