Chances are, your child is somewhat resistant to the idea of meeting with a counselor. I specialize in over-coming that resistance through the use of humor, silliness, and age appropriate anecdotes. Some counselors will spend a lot of time playing with your child--I won't. I'll certainly make them laugh during the process, but therapy with me won't be about us just "hanging out" and playing a board game together. You can also know that I would never undermine your authority as the parent. I believe that parents are to be respected, and, yes, obeyed. In addition to working with your child, I can also show you some ways to get your child's behavior within acceptable parameters.

Depression and anxiety are common mood instability problems rooted in childhood issues. If we feel secure and our feelings are taken into account by our parents, we grow up having a ballast that rights our boat when we encounter the storms of life. But many children were ignored by busy parents or parents filled with their own strife and did not receive the love that was necessary to feel that "tomorrow will be a brighter day." Because of these problems, our moods fluctuate and now our adulthood is diminished. Therapy can help you develop a new center that is not forever dependent on medications regardless of your genetic disposition. You can feel secure in the world and relationships!

Spotlight | Human Heart Nature Mammome Natural Body Wash.

I've been using Human Heart Nature products for the past five years or so, and all these time I had been waiting for an 'adult body wash' to be included in their product line. Sure, they have the Natural Baby Wash and the Kids Natural Shampoo and Body Wash which can be also be used by adults. But of course, it's always better to use products that are 'meant for your age range', if you understand what I mean.

The long wait ended last May, when the Mammome Natural Body Wash was finally made available to the public. The product was unveiled during the June-July Magalogue Turnover (Human Heart Nature's bi-monthly product launch), also dubbed as the 'Mammome Event'.
Mammome Natural Body Wash.
A first for all Filipinas, this new product helps detect early possible signs of breast cancer by reminding us to conduct breast self-exams. (Hence the name 'Mammo-me'.) The steps to early detection are illustrated at the back of the bottle.
Look. Lift. Feel.
They say all women are at risk for cancer, and statistics show that 1 in 13 Filipino women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. However, according to the American Cancer Society, 100 percent of those who detected breast cancer while still at Stage I survived the disease. Truly, early detection is the best protection, and the key to saving lives.
This body wash cares for fellow Filipinas, too.
What I love:
- The sweet, bubblegum scent.
- Safe and gentle on the skin.
- Lathers quite well. You need just a little amount to get a rich lather.
- Easy to rinse.
- Doesn't leave the skin with a greasy feel.
- Made with natural ingredients.
- Cruelty-free.
- Proudly Philippine-made.
- Affordable price.
- A portion of proceeds go to charity, to help provide treatment for indigent women with breast cancer.

What you might not like:
- Comes in one size only (200 mL).
Mammome Natural Body Wash, 200 mL.
The Mammome Natural Body Wash sells for Php 159.75 per bottle, and can be bought online, through registered dealers, and Human Heart Nature branches nationwide.

This I will have to try. I love the nature stuff because it is safer for us. Thanks for sharing.

Debi Gerhart said...

It seems like a great wash. I love natural

Sharon Ruggieri said...

Ya know, my husband and kids make fun of me because I still love bubblegum scented stuff, they suck. But this stuff looks way cool :)

Elayna Fernandez-Bare said...

That looks yummy. I know you are right about using stuff for our age group, but I can see why adults would be tempted by this product lol

earthlingorgeous said...

Nice, this will always remind us to test ourselves whenever we are in the shower.

Lalia Frolick said...

Surprised to see the ingredients look pretty good, it definitely isn't full of chemicals. I do wonder about what they mean by "all natural" fragrance, though, since that definitely doesn't necessarily mean anything. I wish they mentioned whether they used essential oils, etc...

Kath Rivera said...

First time to see a body wash like this. I'm not into body wash kasi pero if this one has the bubble gum scent may put this on my next shopping list. I also like that there's lot of information about breast cancer printed on the bottle.

Rowena Wendy Lei said...

Another new product from Human Nature! I'll look for it next time I visit the supermarket. I love how they're able to provide affordable and organic toiletries. :D

Lizzie Dee said...

Pro-health! :) I really like their products. This one is another must-try.

Sumi Go said...

This seems like a really nice body wash. Love how it encourages breast self-exams, and it's so affordable! Will definitely buy for this!

Janine Daquio said...

wow! I want to check this out! I was not present during the launch. :(

SanDisk revived by Apple juice after first half bloodbath

Embedded mobile products help boost revenues and profits

SanDisk is continuing its climb back to health after the first half horror show, with revenues and profits both recovering well.

The numbers: revenues for the final 2012 quarter were $1.54bn, just 2.3 per cent down on the last 2011 quarter but a satisfying 21 per cent up on the third 2012 quarter - cue big sighs of relief. Profits recovered too: at $214m they were 24 per cent down on the year-ago figure but 80 per cent up on the third quarter. Management seemed pleased with its own performance, with CEO Sanjay Mehotra saying: "We drove solid sequential growth in our embedded mobile products and continued to execute well in our retail business. We believe that our broadening customer engagements and expanding product portfolio position us well for strong profitability in 2013."

He also name-checked the niche SSD business for which Sandisk has high hopes: "SanDisk ended 2012 with strong momentum in our SSD business, which contributed 10 per cent of our Q4 revenue. We are now supplying client SSDs to 10 leading PC OEMs and our enterprise SSDs are qualified at a fourth storage OEM."

The full year 2012 numbers didn't look so good compared to 2011 because of the effects of the first half stumble. Revenues were $5.05bn compared to 2011's $5.66bn. Profits were $417m, less than half the profits of 2011 - where the company netted $987m. Maybe 2013 will be better on that front.

SanDisk revenues to Q4 2012

Sore eyes? Click on chart for larger image.

Earnings call

Mehotra elaborated in the earnings call: "Our solid execution in light of changing market dynamics allowed us to rebound and drive significant growth in the second half of the year, offsetting a difficult first half of 2012, which was impacted by weak pricing, card debundling among handset OEMs and embedded product transitions with mobile OEMs."

CFO Judy Bruner added: "We are regaining share in the mobile embedded market and growing our share in the SSD market while managing the secular decline in the bundled card market."

Turning to SSDs, Mehotra said: "On a year-over-year basis, our full-year SSD sales almost tripled and represented 9 per cent of our 2012 revenue. We expect to grow our SSD revenue sequentially in Q1 2013 both in dollar terms and as a percentage of our overall revenue and we remain on track to drive 25 per cent of our company revenue from SSDs in 2014." He added: "In 2013, I would expect our SSD contribution for the full-year to be above 15 per cent." A quarter of its revenues coming from SSDs? That's around $1.4bn, very ambitious...

He noted: "We have begun shipping what we believe to be the industry's highest capacity 1.6 terabyte SAS drives." These would be the Lightning Read-Intensive 2.5-inch SSD with a 6Gbit/s SAS interface, 87,000 random read IOPS and 410MB/sec sequential read performance.

SanDisk Lightning PCIe

SanDisk Lightning PCIe flash card

SanDisk has FlashSoft caching software, and Mehotra said of this: "We achieved good progress on the software front with the adoption of our FlashSoft offerings by [a] large storage OEM for distribution and future bundling with their servers." A large storage OEM with servers? That could be Dell, HDS, HP or IBM.

Tossing a bone to the channel

He said SanDisk "launched a new initiative to offer a broad range of OEM-grade Client and Enterprise Solutions to value-added resellers, system integrators and direct market resellers. This new distribution channel delivers SanDisk SSD technology to small and medium-sized businesses." SanDisk is also engaging directly with cloud customers and both channels are getting resources added to drive more business.

Bruner said: "The highest growth area for us in 2013 will be the SSD segments, both the Client and the Enterprise." Mobile embedded is the next highest growth area.

The message is that SanDisk is "serious" about its SSD intentions, though who knows if it can achieve its very optimistic predictions.

The retail side was also solid, with record unit sales of USB thumb drives in the fourth quarter.

Still behind MLC, cautious on TLC

On the technology front SanDisk is still supplying 24nm flash to OEM customers but continuing its transition to 19nm flash - which made up most of the production output in the fourth quarter, more than two-thirds in fact. Get this: "We expect to begin the 1Y-nanometer transition in the second half of this year" (the third quarter). That means a process geometry in the 15nm-10nm area, significantly smaller than 19nm and enabling higher yields from flash wafers if all goes well.

Toshiba and SanDisk have a joint foundry interest and we're seeing here that Toshiba will have 1Ynm flash chips in the second half, suggesting interesting Toshiba SSD announcements will be forthcoming, possibly in the fourth quarter and certainly in 2014.

SanDisk is not yet optimistic about 3-bit or triple layer cell (TLC or X3) flash in client and enterprise systems, with Mehotra saying: " In 2013, we plan to be supplying our client SSD demand, as well as our enterprise SSD demand with X2 memory. Of course, we constantly assess X3 memory application for the SSDs but it's not in our 2013 roadmap."

X2 memory is MLC or 2-bit flash and Mehotra sees OEMs preferring this for smartphones and tablets, rejecting TLC.

Where is TLC used then? "In the mobile segment, mobile embedded segment, we will continue to support that with X2. Although there is some element of X3 memory, particularly in our iNAND products, that will continue to do well as well. And of course, on the card side, our cards are built with X3 memory. So Judy said that X3 as a total percentage of our business will be around 40 per cent in 2013. Will be coming down from 50 per cent to 40 per cent due to the growth in embedded and SSDs. But we believe that we will have a very strong lead over the rest of the competition in 2013 with our X3 memory."

The things driving demand were described next: "We expect the Client and Enterprise SSD markets to fuel additional demand for NAND flash as an increasing proportion of PCs sold will include solid-state storage and the prevalence of cloud-based services continues to drive flash accelerated data centres. In addition, we expect the mobile market to remain a strong growth engine for the NAND flash industry in 2013 with the launch of many new smartphones and tablet models keeping the mobile market vibrant."

Analysts are predicting "unit shipments of smartphones are expected to exceed those of feature phones in 2013," and "we see an increasing number of high definition TV models shipping with not just embedded flash storage, but even with higher capacity SSDs to enable set-top box and media centre functionalities." Altogether Mehotra sees a "significant growth opportunity for flash memory storage."

Bruner revealed that Apple accounted for more than 10 percent of SanDisk revenues in the fourth quarter and for the year, 13 per cent for all of 2012. No other customer accounted for more than 9 per cent of its revenues. She said two customers, with Apple being one, accounted for 22 per cent of the 2012 revenues.

So customer number two accounted for 9 per cent of SanDisk's 2012 revenues. Who could that be? ®

EE: Of course we're going to get 1m 4G users by the end of the year!

Brave numerical spinning by EE, but is it enough?

By Andrew Orlowski

Posted in Networks, 24th April 2013 07:29 GMT

Everything Everywhere put a brave spin on its latest 4G numbers today and insisted it was on course for its goal of 1 MEEEELION users by the end of the year.

With its new LTE network criticised for being buggy, patchy, and wildly overpriced, EE has nevertheless found 318,000 punters to step up to the plate. These include switchers from other networks as well as Orange and T-Mobile customers who have been lured into upgrading to 4G.

EE boasted of 166,000 net additions, with the prepay/postpay a fraction in favour of the latter (now 53 per cent up from 49 per cent), who are of course more valuable to the network. But it didn't tout a sharp fall in prepay punters … or an overall decline in subscriber numbers.

As analyst Keith McMahon pointed out on Twitter:

Don't hold back, Keith.

That's the nature of spin, however - you bury the bad news. You can read EE's brief presentation (PDF) on their website.

Everything Everywhere has a brief monopoly on 4G until rivals enter the market later this year. EE rushed to market - it's only available in a few select cities and larger towns, although executives promised 55 per cent UK coverage by June. Its monopoly position tempted it into setting eye-gouging rates: £31 for 3GB and £36 for 5GB a month on SIM only, where you locked in for 24 months.

That's trivial to a business - but sharply felt by consumers. And one mistake which has rebounded on EE was entirely avoidable: the headline-grabbing £21/month SIM-only tariff which only allows 500MB of usage. Most subscribers use well over that, we've heard, with the monthly figure coming in much closer to 2GB. Which isn't surprising, since it's likely to appeal to professionals. But it does mean some nasty surprises in store for the unwary.

And the premium pricing is sure to be short-lived. Hutchison Whampoa's 3 has already vowed to wipe out the premium advantage, when it introduces 4G at the end of the year.

So is 4G waving or drowning? It actually looks far less grim when you compare it to the 3G roll out in the UK. 3 launched in March 2003; how did they do?

Like EE, 3 also set a target of 1m users within a year. It also opted for premium tariffs only on prepay for its network launch - and the message, too, was that 3G was a unique service, performing unique services such as video calling. And like 3, EE has chosen a pretty whacky 'outsider' brand.

But 3 also had a slow takeup in the UK. Six months later, 3 could only claim 155,000 punters. 3 then promptly performed a reverse ferret, and changed its tariff structure to go after budget punters. It became a value brand, after it launched its pre-pay offerings in January 2004. A year after launch it claimed its 1m target had been reached.

Both 3G and 4G also had coverage problems - 3 still only had covered 70 per cent of the UK in 3G nine months on from launch. Now, nine months from 4G launch, EE wants 55 per cent coverage. Plus ca change?

One area where LTE has an advantage is that the handset situation looks better than at the launch of 3G, or even 2G. For some, the GSM acronym was really "God Send Mobiles").

Motorola A920 handset

The Motorola A920, a 3G flagship in 2003.
This 212g monster boasted an amazing TWO hours of talk time

Even though DoCoMo had launched 3G in Japan two years previously, the first 3G handsets were still power-hungry and buggy. Operators warned it would be two years (ie, 2005) before they matched the talktime consumers expected from 2G handsets. In fact, it was probably 2006 before the two became comparable.

For 4G the picture is much better, largely because the USA has led this time round and thus US consumers have been the guinea pigs. EE launched with some attractive, but not cheap handsets including the iPhone, Galaxy SIII LTE and Nokia Lumia 920.

That said, 3G provided a huge differentiator over GPRS. You could genuinely do video calls - it's just that nobody ever really wanted to. You could browse the web at decent speeds, for the time, just nowhere near the speeds the phrase "mobile broadband" promised. EE has a few months to find some consumer propositions for LTE. It could be worse.

Finally, before you compared the two network launches, bear in mind that EE has an established footprint in the UK, whereas Three was entering an established market with four major players. It's much easier to upsell your existing customers than lure in new ones to an entirely new network. Particularly when you have a new, whacky brand. ®

Route Name & Number

Find the schedule for the route, day of week and the direction you plan to travel.

  • These items will be shown on the sign on the front of the bus: route NUMBER (letter A on the image above), route NAME (B), and DIRECTION (C) of travel.

Find the TIMEPOINTS (D) nearest to your destination. These are places along the route where a bus will not depart the stop before the time shown in the schedule.

  • Timepoints are always shown on the route map, but your stop may fall between a set of timepoints and may not be shown.  If your stop is not listed as a timepoint, estimate its departure time by placing it between the two timepoints that surround it.

Route Variation

Determine which VARIATION (E) of the route you will need to use.  Variations are parts of the route which use different streets.  Be sure you know which variation of the route you need or you could end up in the wrong neighborhood!

  • Variations are shown in the schedule as letters.  These letters will also be shown on the sign on the front of the bus.  The variations shown above are '4A' and '4B'.  4A travels to Ypsilanti via the U-M Hospital and 4B travels via U-M Central Campus.

Schedule Times

To see the TIMES (F) when buses will depart from a specific timepoint, read downward in a column.  Rows (read from left to right) show when a particular bus reaches different timepoints as it travels along the route.

  • To plan a trip, start at the column of the timepoint nearest to your destination.  Choose a time in that column for when you'd like to reach your destination.  Read back across the times in that row (from right to left) to the column of the timepoint nearest to your trip origin.  This is the time when you need to be at the stop to board the bus.
  • If a dash is shown, the bus does not serve the area of that timepoint.

BMW Motorrad Working on a W3 Powered Cruiser?

BMW Motorrad has been churning out great motorcycle after great motorcycle for the last few years now, but despite all that success there’s a gaping hole in it’s model lineup – a cruiser. That might be about to change however as new patent documents uncovered indicate that they’re working on a W3 configured engine.

What is a W3, you might ask? While a BMW cruiser wouldn’t be the first motorcycle to ever use such a configuration, it is still very rare. Essentially, a W3 is a V-Twin with a third piston placed between them down the middle, creating a ‘W’ configuration. The latest motorcycle to feature such an engine was the Fueling W3 which itself is based on a Harley-Davidson.

BMW R1200C

BMW Motorrad’s last cruiser was the R1200C which was discontinued in 2004

The patents indicate that Motorrad’s W3 would be air-cooled, but there’s also a little trick up the German firms sleeve. One design shows that each cylinder connects to its own crank pin (just like most inline triples) allowing BMW to make the firing intervals as they see fit. The second version seems to be almost a hybrid between a V-Twin and a Triple, with the front and rear cylinders sharing a crank pin, while the middle cylinder operates separately.

What might shock Motorrad fans the most though is that this engine uses pushrods. Such an idea would potentially sends many Europhiles into fits, but pushrods don’t have to mean low tech. What it really demonstrates is that any such engine and associated cruiser would be targeting the USA where such motors are far more appreciated and where the cruiser market is also the biggest.

  2. woo......
  3. great.....
  4. This might not mean much for most people, but for those of us already infected with the broadvision virus, the idea of being able to use a real app server instead of the bastardized tomcat that bv 6 ships with is actually pretty cool. However, if history is any indication, I have little confidence that this new release will pull bv out of their hole.
  5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Vignette support this app server requirement over a year ago ? Surely BV have missed the boat.
  6. Keep up the could still be using BV 3,4 with the C++ templates and CORBA servers (actually the BV task manager in 6.x still supports dispatching requests to this idiom)

    Be glad that BV is attempting to get out of the AppServer market as Gartner, et al predicted they would in late 2000

    Ex-BV user and sympathizer
  7. One of our project need is to integrate IIS with Broadvision.

    Can anybody provide any mateiral(Write up) or clue for integration of the same.

Police officers line up as a protest grows outside the Morton County Courthouse in Mandan, N.D., Monday, Oct. 17, 2016. A judge dismissed a complaint Monday against Democracy Now journalist Amy Goodman, who reported on a clash between pipeline protesters and private security in September. (Mike McCleary/The Bismarck Tribune via AP)

MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — "Democracy Now!" reporter Amy Goodman won't face a riot charge stemming from her coverage of a protest against construction of the Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota, with a judge saying Monday that there was no cause for it.

Judge John Grinsteiner refused to sign off on the misdemeanor riot charge, which prosecutor Ladd Erickson had pursued after dismissing a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge against the journalist on Friday. However, authorities would not rule out the possibility Goodman could face other charges.

Erickson has said Goodman was acting like a protester when she reported on a clash between protesters and pipeline security last month. Her defense attorney, Tom Dickson, maintains Goodman was doing her job.

The protests have drawn thousands of people to the area where Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners is trying to wrap up construction on the $3.8 billion, 1,200-mile pipeline from North Dakota to Illinois. Opponents of the pipeline worry about potential effects on drinking water on the Standing Rock Sioux reservation and farther downstream, as well as destruction of cultural artifacts.

Goodman is one about 140 people who have been charged in recent weeks with interfering with the pipeline's construction in North Dakota.

After the judge's decision Monday, Erickson referred questions to Morton County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Donnell Preskey. Asked whether authorities would pursue other charges, Preskey said, "It's all under review." She would not elaborate.

Goodman told reporters outside the courthouse that Grinsteiner's decision was a "vindication for all journalists and a vindication for everyone."

Dickson said prosecutors are wrong to continue to pursue charges against Goodman.

"The first charge was frivolous and the second charge was even more frivolous," Dickson said. "Enough is enough. They need to let it go."

An arrest warrant was issued for Goodman after she reported on a clash on Sept. 3, when Standing Rock Sioux officials said crews bulldozed several sites of "significant cultural and historic value" on private land. Energy Transfer Partners denies those allegations.

Law enforcement officials said four security guards and two guard dogs received medical treatment. A tribal spokesman said six people were bitten by guard dogs and at least 30 people were pepper-sprayed.

Goodman, who is based in New York, said she "came to North Dakota to cover this epic struggle ... what we found was horrifying."

About 200 protesters gathered outside the county courthouse Monday as Goodman was set to appear for a hearing that never happened. Many held signs that included, "This is not a riot." About 100 officers in riot gear were stationed outside the courthouse to monitor those protesters.

Morton County sheriff's spokesman Rob Keller confirmed one man was arrested on charges including disorderly conduct.

Authorities said pipeline protesters earlier Monday briefly blocked a Bismarck-Mandan bridge across the Missouri River. They dispersed when ordered by law officers.

Carlos Lauria, senior Americas coordinator for the Committee to Protect Journalists, said any charges against Goodman are an attempt to intimidate reporters from covering protests of "significant public interest."

Goodman's show airs daily on hundreds of radio and TV stations and over the internet.

It's not the first time Goodman has had a brush with the law while covering events. She and two of her producers received $100,000 in a settlement over their arrests during the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota.

St. Paul and Minneapolis agreed to pay a combined $90,000 while the federal government agreed to pay $10,000. The lawsuit named the federal government because a Secret Service agent confiscated the journalists' press credentials.

Goodman said at the time the money would go "to support independent, unfettered" journalism about such events.

Portland State Fumbles Opportunity

With the resignation Of Head Football Coach Tim Walsh, Portland State University had an opportunity to conduct a fair and equitable search for his replacement. Instead, PSU let opportunity slip through their hands.
The opportunity was to interview the most qualified applicants, including minority coaches. PSU is aware of how sensitive this topic is, that's why they obtained permission from the Affirmative Action office at PSU to speed up the process. The problem is PSU treated this process like a two-minute drill. Athletic Director Teri Mariani said that, "even in a quick search you have to have the job open for two weeks at a minimum." Unfortunately according to PSU'S own Web site, the job opened on Feb. 21 and closed on Feb. 24. That's three days. The bigger issue is, according to all the outreach Mariani said they would do, they only interviewed two candidates and neither was a minority.
The Boston Globe reports that, of the 616 college football head coaching positions last year, a Black coach filled only 16.
I don't think anyone should be hired based on race, but they certainly shouldn't be ignored or excluded. By speeding up the process and rushing to a decision this is exactly what happened. Portland State had an opportunity to do the right thing. They should have taken more time and made it a priority to interview the one qualified minority coach on their short list. I asked Coach Glanville what he thought about the process, and would he interview minority coaches for his staff. He said, "I don't see color."
Neither did the selection committee. That's a shame.

image for Paula Abdul Says That Her American Idol Replacement Ellen DeGeneres Will Be Fired!
Cooter Bushwood and his wife and cousin Kitty Kat Bushwood, owners of Cousin Cooter's Bacon Curing Shop and Tattoo Parlor

HOT SPRINGS, Arkansas - Former American Idol Judge Paula Abdul was in Hot Springs to do the ribbon cutting honors at the grand opening of Cousin Cooter's Bacon Curing Shop and Tattoo Parlor.

Abdul told the assembled crowd of 52, or so that she had never been to Arkansas before and that she had no idea at the vast amount of Arkansas residents who are all related to each other.

She said that at the hotel where she is staying, The Ruttin' Razorback Hotel, the desk clerk, Sissy Jo, is married to the custodian, Bubba Bob, who is the cousin of the hotel security guard Junior Bob, who is married to one of the two hotel maids, Elvira Jo, who is having an affair with her step uncle, Buster Bob, who is married to a gelding, Lady Boy.

Abdul stated "And to think that I once felt guilty about having my second cousin once removed fondle my left one for a few seconds. Shiesssh."

Abdul was asked what she thought about her new American Idol judge replacement. She rolled her eyes and remarked that she did not think that (Ellen) DeGeneres is funny.

Paula said that none of Ellen's 'knock-knock- jokes are the least bit funny. And her 'my wife is so fat that...' jokes do not make any sense at all. Paula noted that she has seen Ellen's wife Portia, and if she's fat, Kanye West is Swedish."

Paula said that she heard from a very good source that Ellen will probably be fired, but not because she's not funny.

Abdul said DeGeneres will be terminated because she is a practicing lesbian who goes around bragging that she is married to another woman.

Abdul was asked if she regretted turning down the $10 million salary that AI had offered her. She got somewhat somber and replied that she realizes that she should have taken the money, but her pride would not let her.

She said she wanted $20 million and she was not going to take one cent less. Abdul was told that a reliable unnamed source had noted that so far this year, she (Abdul) has only earned $8,300.

Abdul was surprised. She reached into her purse and pulled out a little spiral pamphlet. She looked at it for a while and said that the figure was incorrect. The correct figure Paula pointed out is actually $8,625.

The ex-Laker dancer was told that the $8,300 amount did not take in to account the $325 she was receiving for her fee as the official ribbon cutter for the grand opening of Cousin Cooter's Bacon Curing Shop and Tattoo Parlor.

Paula blushed and said she had to go get ready for an interview that she was doing with the local newspaper The Hot Springs Sizzlin' Sun.

In other news. Oprah Winfrey stated that she will not be attending the Winter Olympics in Vancouver because as she so eloquently put it, "Lissen up child. Dis old fat gal and damn freezin' snow does not go together, no way, no how, fo sho."

image for Man Sells Wife, 59, On eBay
Many people were outbid

A manin Staffordshie achieved the kind of notoriety he hadn't bargained for today when he became the first person in the world to sell his wife on eBay.

The man, Gerald Bodge from Lichfield, married his wife Deidre in 1976, but their relationship had recently 'dropped-off', soured, gone stale, become strained and then unbearable, as events took their toll on the tired couple, both in their late 50s.

The pair avoided talking about their problems, until ten days ago when Gerald decided to auction Deidre off to the highest bidder.

Describing her as 'a good woman who can cook, clean, wash, iron, mow the lawn and fix DVD players', he started the auction off at a very conservative 99p, and waited, not expecting any responses, having done it merely to amuse himself behind his wife's back.

EBay regulars, however, didn't see it as a joke, and bidding on the 'Wife' was frantic. After almost round-the-clock activity, Deidre was finally sold to an anonymous bidder in the US for $513,500,000,000, a record for a wife.

On realising that he had auctioned-off the one thing in his life that was worth anything, a sad Bodge asked reporters: "Who's gonna cook me tea?"

Maybe it would be different if they could look at the world through his eyes. Specifically, his right eye - the one that was struck by a line drive nearly 13 years ago.
To this day, his peripheral vision remains a blurry mess.
``Normally when you get hurt, the bruise heals, the injury heals, and you forget about it,'' Florie said Friday from his home in Charleston, S.C. ``When you get hit in the head, it's a little bit different. I couldn't get away from it because I couldn't see well out of one eye.''
Baseball has always been a sport that moves at a glacier-like pace.
Well, it's time to speed things up after watching another pitcher crumple to the ground, the frightening outcome of being struck in the head by a line drive.
Baseball should immediately mandate some sort of added protection for the pitcher's head, and the players should enthusiastically agree to it. It might be nothing more than a thin strip of padding that offers minimal defense. That's OK. Something is better than nothing, and nothing is what they've got at the moment.
Seriously, what's it going to take to wake up a sport that revels in its traditions?
A player dying right on the field?
Surely, that was the immediate concern for anyone who saw Toronto's J.A. Happ get smashed in the head by a line drive this week, leaving him with a skull fracture behind the left ear.
The doctors believe the injury will heal on its own. Who knows if Happ will ever fully regain the courage it takes to throw a ball while knowing he's going to end up about 55 feet from a big-league batter.
Florie pitched only seven more games in the big leagues before his career was cut short by his vision problems. He also concedes that he never really got over what it did to him mentally.
``I always thought I was as tough-minded as they come,'' he said. ``When that happened, my brain was saying things like, `Watch it.' I had never heard that before. I wasn't scared. But it's in there. You can't explain it until it happens to you.''
Other than putting up a screen in front of the pitcher's mound, like they do in batter's practice, there's no way to totally eliminate the danger that a pitcher faces during the course of a game.
Still, it seems puzzling that baseball has yet to get past the research-and-development phase, even in light of several harrowing episodes over the past year. More troubling are all the players who say there's nothing on the market they'd be willing to try at the moment - a group, amazingly enough, that includes Brandon McCarthy.
Last September, you might recall, McCarthy was hit on the head by a liner while pitching for Oakland. He was left with a skull fracture, an epidural hemorrhage and a brain contusion that required surgery, putting him in the hospital for nearly a week. He's lucky to be alive.
Now with Arizona, McCarthy took to Twitter after Happ's injury to proclaim that any call for mandatory headgear would be the ludicrous, even in light of what he endured.
``There is nothing acceptable out there,'' he wrote, ``so the discussion at this point is worthless.''
While we understand that pitchers are reluctant to wear something that could affect their performance, to balk at anything other than the perfect product is mind-boggling.
From all indications, several companies are working feverishly to develop a product that will address the two main concerns: pitchers don't want to anything that is heavy enough to affect their windups when their heads rock back, or is so thick that it causes them to sweat more - especially on blistering summer days.
Legitimate concerns, to be sure, but pitchers would surely adjust to whatever they had to wear (just as the batters did when finally ordered to wear helmets in the early 1970s). And what's a little extra perspiration compared to the possibility of avoiding a potentially career-ending or even life-threating brain injury?
I'm reminded of all the NASCAR drivers who objected when their governing body, in the wake of Dale Earnhardt's death at the 2001 Daytona 500, ordered everyone to wear a bulky device around the neck, known as the HANS, which helps to eliminate the sort of skull fracture that had killed the sport's biggest star.
These days, no one would think of getting behind the wheel without strapping on the HANS. More important, no drivers have died since then.
Baseball certainly doesn't rate with auto racing on the danger scale. There's no denying that someone getting struck by a baseball - especially in the head - is still a very rare occurrence.
But it's time for baseball, at all levels, to acknowledge there's a problem that must be addressed immediately.
While everyone focuses on the big leagues, the bigger issue might be at the grassroots level. There are no mandates for protecting a pitcher's head in the college game. Heck, there's nothing in the Little League rules.
That needs to change, too. Shouldn't be a problem, either, since they don't have to worry about a player's union getting in the way.
Little League spokesman Brian McClintock said one of the organizations corporate partners, Easton, is among those working on a device that would provide additional protection for a pitcher's head. But he said Little League is more focused on teaching proper techniques, such as making sure pitchers wind up in the best fielding position as soon as they deliver the ball.
``This is a very rare occurrence when these injuries do happen,'' he said Friday. ``Having extra protections is really something that hasn't been developed yet. ... We're absolutely open to it as long as everything is vetted properly.''
While the big leaguers could set an example that filters down to the lower levels, McClintock pointed out that Little League actually mandated batting helmets before the majors did.
We don't care who does it first.
Just do it.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -When the question was posed - ever worry that the sport you love could ruin your brain? - Hines Ward shrugged it off as though it was nothing more than one of those pesky cornerbacks trying to keep him from catching a pass.
``It's just a violent game,'' Pittsburgh's star receiver said Tuesday during Super Bowl media day, when such serious issues are generally cast aside in favor of scantily clad TV hosts and other outrageous antics. ``If you run into someone full speed with a head-to-head hit, something's bound to give. Unfortunately, it's your brain.''
Not long after Ward spoke, eight people gathered in a downtown hotel to discuss the latest evidence that football's violent nature could be causing some serious health issues.
f ex-NFL players, one of whom was discovered to have had severe brain damage after dying young, the other requiring around-the-clock care when dementia set in while he was in his 50s. There were assorted medical experts to describe the potentially devastating effects of taking repeated blows to the head, the kind that Ward and several other Super Bowl players dismissed as just an unfortunate part of the game.
``I'm not going to think about it right now,'' said Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who has sustained at least two concussions in NFL games and another in a motorcycle accident. ``I'm going to live this day to the fullest.''
That number pales in comparison to teammate Troy Polamalu, who's had at least seven concussions in his career.
Researchers at Boston University released enlarged photos of the brain scan taken after the death of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers player Tom McHale, the victim, at age 45, of an accidental drug overdose. There were dense, brown patches where healthy cells would have been, a discovery that Dr. Ann McKee, a neuropathologist who specializes in degenerative brain diseases, described as ``extraordinarily abnormal.''
Nearby, McHale's widow, Lisa, struggled to hold back tears.
ter, her eyes still red. ``There's no way to put into words the sheer magnitude of that loss to me, to our three sons, to our families, to anyone who had the pleasure of knowing Tom during his lifetime. He was a tremendous man. Not a day goes by, not one day, where I don't miss him tremendously.''
While drugs took McHale's life, his wife suspects that his frustrating inability to cope with his addictions may be traced to those disturbing images of the rain, a condition known as ``chronic traumatic encephalopathy.'' It can lead to memory loss, emotional problems, erratic behavior, depression and a loss of impulse control.
Lisa McHale assumed it was the drugs. In hindsight, she wonders if he may have been incapable of taking the necessary steps to lead a clean life - largely because of repeated blows to the head during his football career.
``He was working as hard as he could to do the right thing,'' she said. ``It was most crushing to him that he couldn't be who he was trying to be. He was very frustrated and very confused by what was happening to him.''
age, worry about something more than just the next game, the next hit.
``I kind of liken it to NASCAR racers, who don't like going to funerals or don't like going to the hospital because they don't like being reminded what could happen to them,'' Johnson said. ``It's the same thing with football players. We don't want to know what could potentially happen to us down the road.''
The NFL called a summit in 2007 to hear from a wide range of experts on the possibility of repeated concussions causing the sort of long-term damage found in the brains of McHale and five others ex-players who died by the age of 50. Commissioner Roger Goodell has issued directives to improve screenings when someone is hurt during a game and stepped up fines for helmet-to-helmet hits.
Still, that hasn't prevented some truly brutal blows just in the past month or so. In Pittsburgh's final regular-season game, Roethlisberger went down in a heap and had to be taken off the field on a cart. The next time he tried to put on his helmet, it felt too small - yes, his head was actually enlarged after taking such a fierce blow.
Not that he sees anything wrong with that.
``When you're coherent, it's a good feeling,'' Clark quipped. ``You feel like you're helping the team out in some way. When you can't remember it, I guess you don't have any feeling at all.''
He sees no reason for the NFL to take additional steps to make the game safer.
``If they do anything else, we're not going to be able to tackle people,'' Clark said. ``I'd like to see them stop talking about it on TV so much. It gets so much press when you see things like (his hit on McGahee). People are beginning to believe it's a barbaric sport.''
While BU has brought together some of the top experts at its Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, the NFL has launched its own study on the long-term effects of repeated concussions. The results are expected in 2010.
he scientific and medical understanding of this injury, which affects thousands of people, athletes and non-athletes alike, every year.''
Johnson and others said it's equally important for the NFL Players Association to take a lead role. Union officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
``I put a lot of the onus on them,'' Johnson said. ``Our own union should put more emphasis on its former players.''

Battle of the bank charges hots up with legal challenge

A court hearing tomorrow could mean millions of people will be able to claim a bigger refund, reports Ali Hussain

Published: 29 April 2007

MILLIONS of people who have successfully reclaimed unfair bank charges could be due a bigger refund if a landmark court hearing tomorrow gives them the green light to sue their banks.

Tom Brennan, 30, a junior barrister from south London, is taking NatWest to court in relation to £2,500 that was taken from his account in unauthorised credit and bounced payment fees while he was a student.

Campaigners believe a successful legal claim could open the floodgates for billions of pounds more in refunds.

The banks are under growing pressure to come clean on charges after the Office of Fair Trading launched a full-scale inquiry into the fees they raise on personal accounts last week. The investigation will run alongside an existing investigation into the fairness of unauthorised overdraft charges announced earlier this year.

However, the OFT is not expected to come to any conclusions until the end of this

Junior Wright Fights Marlon Hayes Fri. in Detroit

Undefeated Cruiserweight Junior Wright to take on Marlon Hayes this Friday night in Detroit

Chicago, IL (August 13, 2014) –– This Friday night at the Royal Oak Theater in Detroit, undefeated cruiserweight contender Junior Wright (10-0-1, 9 KO's) will be back in action in an 8-round bout against Marlon Hayes (23-14, 11 KO's).

This will be Wright's first appearance since his thrilling Fight of the Year candidate with fellow undefeated Steve Bujaj on May 15 at the Millennium Theater in Brooklyn, NY. The incredible Wright – Bujaj fight will be replayed this Saturday night on Comcast Sportsnet Chicago at 11 PM.

Wright of Evanston, Illinois (just outside of Chicago) will be looking for an impressive performance against Hayes, who has faced the very best in competition, which includes world champions and top contenders.

“Training has gone well and I am ready for Friday night,” said Wright. “Even though Hayes has a lot of fights, I really do not know much on him. I do a lot of stuff instinctively and I prepare for anything he can bring.”

Boxing fans in New York are still talking about his epic war with Bujaj and despite the physicality of the bout, Wright did not take too much time away from the gym. “I got back in the gym about a week and a half after the fight. I knew I had this fight coming up so I gave myself a good month and half camp for this.”

Wright did some reflecting back on his classic with Bujaj and he thinks the two could meet again down the line. “I felt I could have used my jab more and probably used more head movement. It was a good fight. Even though most of the fans believed I won, a draw was just. I wouldn't mind a rematch.”

Wright is a recent signee of Dmitry Salita's Star of David Promotions and he believes that the former world title challenger is the right promoter to get him the big opportunities. “Dmitry has good intentions for me and as long as I do well, I know he will get me the big fights. I know that the cruiserweight division is based in Europe, so I want to make the Europeans like Mayweather has had success with the Hispanic fighters. This Friday, Detroit should in for a Hurricane,” finished Wright.

Said Wright's trainer Rick Wilson, “There were some things in the Bujaj fight that should have been called, like 8 or 9 low blows and an instance where we feel Junior was on his way of stopping Bujaj and the ref stopped it to give an 8-count.. but there is no 8-count in New York. However, we are focused on Hayes. He has fought world class guys and has gone the distance with them. He is a crafty guy who knows how to survive.”

Like Wright, Wilson likes the direction that Salita and Star of David Promotions is going with him. “I have a good feeling about Dmitry's vision and passion. We want to become the American cruiserweight world champion. In 2 or 3 fights down to road, go to Europe and look for a big fight there. There is a lot of opportunity as not only the champions are based there but the two guys in England, in Nathan Cleverly and Tony Bellew, are also on our radar.”

Friday's show at Royal Oak Theater is promoted by Kaltsas Productions

As concert promoters worldwide know, the performance schedule of the mercurial pianist Martha Argerich isn’t written in stone. For the past 12 years, though, one summer event has been inviolable: the Progetto Martha Argerich, held every June during the Lugano Festival in Switzerland. Each year also brings an EMI box of concert highlights: chamber music mostly, performed by Argerich and friends, some collaborators of long standing.

Collectors know to pounce on these sets, not just for Argerich’s spontaneous interpretations, delighting in chamber music’s give and take. There’s also the off-piste repertoire. Where else would you find the orchestral spray of

Millions of broadband users could benefit from cheaper internet access after BT was told to slash its wholesale charges to rural areas.

Ofcom has instructed the telecoms group to cut annual prices by 12 per cent below inflation for the next three years for companies that use its network to supply remote rural locations. Rural users can pay up to £15 a month more than city dwellers to access the net.

The telecoms regulator cut wholesale prices until 2014, a move designed to tempt BT’s competitors to launch services in areas where the group remains a monopoly provider. It argued

    Anderson bowled with some discomfort at Basin Reserve Anthony Devlin/PA

James Anderson has given England a boost after proclaiming himself fit for the final-Test decider against New Zealand at Eden Park on Friday.

The fast bowler bowled the majority of his 37 overs into a fierce wind during the second Test at Basin Reserve in Wellington and had been troubled by niggling discomfort in his heel and back.

“I feel okay,” he said. “The rain probably helped in the end, getting an extra day off. It gave my body an extra bit of rest. So I hope, come Friday, my body will be ready to go five days again.”

Tominator, who was a classy staying handicapper on the Flat, is fancied to take advantage of a lenient-looking mark in the Paddy Power Imperial Cup (3.15) over hurdles at Sandown Park today.

He was handled astutely on the level by Reg Hollinshead, gaining his biggest success in the 2011 Northumberland Plate, but showed that a switch to the Jonjo O’Neill yard had done him no harm when a fine third in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket in October.

Tominator has made a smooth transition to the winter game, winning on his first start over hurdles at Bangor and adding to that

The band originally consisted of lead vocalist Jon Bon Jovi, guitarist Ritchie Sambora (left in 2013), bassist Alec John Such (left in 1994), keyboard David Bryan, and drummer Tico Torres. The band's more.

While personally I never LOVED bon jovi (I do like them though), this is probably the most likely rock/metal band on the list to make it next year. - Brobusky

26 Alice in Chains Alice in Chains Alice in Chains is an American rock band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1987 by guitarist and songwriter Jerry Cantrell and original lead vocalist Layne Staley.
27 Scorpions Scorpions Scorpions are a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock to heavy metal.

The members are Matt Bellamy (lead vocal, lead guitar, piano, keyboard), Dom Howard (drums, percussion) and Chris Wolstenholme (bass, backing vocals). They've won several awards including five MTV Awards, 8 NME Awards, more.

I think by far the biggest issue with Coldplay coming on is that, no, they're not BAD, but they're just kind of... there. Y'know? They just don't have nearly the excitement that is needed for a halftime show of the biggest, most exciting game of the year. Not in their old music nor their new music have they ever gotten me excited for anything. But Muse. MUSE. With incredible songs that'd be amazing to be played in such a huge arena such as Knights of Cydonia, Take a Bow, Stockholm Syndrome, Plug in Baby, and even the new ones like Psycho and Reapers. They're basically known for making a bunch of noise, which is exactly what is need for the Super Bowl. - uofmfan1221

Top Ten Worst Actors

The Contenders: Page 18

341 Emilio Estevez Emilio Estevez V 1 Comment
342 Greg Benson

Why does he need to grow up anyway? Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't be young. I'm not saying to not be a full grown mature adult, but what I'm saying is never lose your spirit as a kid. Do some of the things that make you feel young. But don't do immature things.

Most of the videos he makes of himself are just him going to comic con, or meeting up with total strangers, or cell phone crashing at various places. Dude, I do not want to see you cell phone crash at the airport.

Greg, if you're reading this right now, I just have one thing to say to you. Why did you fell the need to mock asperger syndrome? Were you mocking the name or the disorder? Which ever I'd like to hear from you or other people for that matter.

He seems like a pretty down-to-earth guy, but his videos are just terrible in my opinion.

343 Amy Adams Amy Adams Amy Lou Adams is an American actress and singer. She is the recipient of two Golden Globe Awards, and has received five nominations each from the Academy Award and BAFTA Award ceremonies.

One of the most underrated actresses. Highly talented and very beautiful that really deserve to win Oscars and other awards. She can play every kind of genre and proved us that she is one of the most versatile actresses out there. This actress really doesn't belong here.

No, she is awesome. Just about everything she's been in has been good. Kind of weird sometimes, like the Master, but she doesn't write the script. You can always count on her work to be outstanding.

How can you possible hate this adorable and very talented actress? Unless you're a jealous woman, I don't get it why you write something like that. It does make no sense.

Jeez, I hate her! She always seems to put out the worst performance of all; she just makes all of her films suffer.

Subject: Why travel?
Hi Ziners,

I'm not sure the answer to this question for me except to say "It is there".

Until I was 13 I had been in two states Kansas where I was born and Oklahoma where my grandparents lived. I always longed to travel. Now I have been to all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, Caribbean, England, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands. Not near as much as I'd like but it's been great. Now I have lost my traveling companion so I am "interviewing" my friends. LOL! The last few years I haven't traveled as much for that reason (and my economy), but have made some US trips and went to Mexico last year. Here's to travel!!!!

The Buzz Latest News

Vancouver Retail Star: Twigg & Hottie

With Vancouver's Eco Fashion Week just around the corner, I thought I'd take the opportunity to chat with local retailer Twigg & Hottie, experts in the art of harmonizing fashion and the environment.

Founded in 2003 by fashion aficionados and designers Glencora Twigg and Christine "Hottie" Hotton — adding Jessica Vaira in 2006 — their store is located at 3671 Main Street on 21st Avenue (the coolest shopping district in Vancouver).

As the trio tell me, their reason for setting up shop was simple. They wanted to "get our designs out into the world without having to beg another retailer to carry us and to help other independents get the same opportunity."

Those other independents range from We3 Designs, Prairie Underground, Second Denim, El Naturalista Shoes, TOMS shoes, Bronsino Leather, Birds of North America, Kdon by Kim Cathers, Ruelle, and Torn Clothing. But why do they believe shoppers should be conscious of purchasing sustainable fabrics and ecological fashions?

"We should all feel responsible to do what is in our power to lessen the human footprint on earth and keep it sparkling for generations to come. As a values based business we are always proud of what we sell and connect on a deep and authentic level with our customers."

Not every designer will make the cut for a coveted place in their store. Quality, versatility, comfort, construction and fit all play a key role in decision, though fit is the most vital element. I own a We3 shirt from Twigg & Hottie and can certainly vouch for its hugging embrace!

Of course, being run by three very strong women doesn't necessarily mean all creative and business decisions will be easy. Though the three maintain they get along "most of the time," they say keeping their egos in check and being honest and open to discussion is of utmost importance.

"We are strong but our strength comes from our willingness to be vulnerable.  Also we are all dogmatically committed to the same life values and to each other. We're like three wives."

Yes, they have the same agenda, but the same taste? I asked each what would be the most coveted clothing piece at the top of their holiday wish list. Jessica says a plaid Glencora skirt, Gertrude wishes for a Stein dress, and Christine craves a Merino wool cardigan.

Though the three have no plans to open any more stores, their New Year's resolution will see Twigg & Hottie expanding its wholesaling and branching into the ever popular pop-up shop domain. Eyes peeled!

Does Google Help Students Learn

Google Help Students Learn

Google Search is the best friend of most of us nowadays. Anything that we need to know is typed in the search engine bar, and it comes to us as in a sort of miracle. It has become such a common thing that we even turned it into a verb. We don’t search online anymore; we simply google it. When it comes to the classroom, the scenario is no different. Students are relying on Google to do their assignments, find lists of the best writing services, and do their homework from very early age. And they are being encouraged by their parents and teachers to do so.

But what we don’t know is how beneficial it can be to their learning process. Maybe finding answers so easily has damaged our ability to memorize things and to explore our own ideas and imagination?

Scientists are concerned by the consequences

A study by the psychologists Nicholaus S. Noles and Judith H. Danovitch at the University of Louisville is one of many trying to determine the impact of searching for answers online might have on our future intellectual development. According to it, 4-5-year-old children are still very keen on asking questions to adults. But the situation changes when they turn 8 years old when the computers become more exciting to them.

Still even 8 years old children will rely on computers to solve their doubts less often than adults. The alarming conclusion though was that 5-8 years old children would primarily believe in an answer from a computer if it conflicts with what an adult says. And considering that not all that you can find online is entirely true neither safe, it can turn into something highly dangerous.

Adrian F. Ward of the University of Colorado and Matthew Fisher of Yale University have also found in their experiments that people tend to think that they have better answers, and even a higher understanding of facts just because they have found it online. In other words, the internet is working as an ego booster of some kind independent of its accuracy.

But they still can see the bright side

Even though there is a raising fear of how much students are dependent on the internet to solve their problems, there is also a bright side to it. When Judith H. Danovitch at the University of Louisville asked 125 undergraduates to answer 30 difficult questions about animals, she got some interesting results.

One group was allowed to look for answers on the internet, while the other group used booklets. Then they were tested on the answers later on the same day and after 24 hours. In both cases, the students that searched online were more likely to remember the answers than those who have learned them from printed materials.

The primary explanation for it was the idea that, maybe, because it is so easy to find information online, that your brain faces less fatigue, letting it free to learn faster. Still, it is still controversial to say if the same results would be found if the students were less comfortable while searching topics online.

Does searching on Google make it TOO easy?

One of the most common criticisms against searching on Google for educational purposes is that it makes everything too easy. That we don’t have to think at all, not even to find the best sources as Google algorithm promises to do it for us. But we know that it is entirely true.

Depending on the topic that you are researching the quality of content that you can find online can be quite poor. You won’t find links enough, or the information provided by the ones that you find aren’t really relevant. And while many of us can distinguish the good from the bad, not everybody can – especially not many those of very young age.

Plus, it is not for common knowledge how to find better content using long tail keywords. Or searching on Google Scholar, for instance. Many people don’t know that Wikipedia contains many mistakes and that news can be easily faked. And the sad news is that not all teachers are prepared to clarify these issues to their students.

Features and tools like Google Now and Siri as ready to answers to questions you haven’t even made yet. And while it does make our life easier, it doesn’t help us to improve our ability to an inquiry about the world outside either.

Remembering only what we need

On the other hand, many scholars and educators are an enthusiast of technology. They say that it can provide us with the basic information that we need and automatize some of our repetitive tasks, so we have more time to be creative.

While many people complain that they can’t remember anybody’s birthday anymore – as social media will do it for us – others will think that it is great because it wasn’t crucial that we could remember it in the first place. That less energy our brain uses trying to memorize who works where more, it can be directed to planning and take action.

The bottom line

It seems that it is inevitable that online search will continue to guide our learning process from now on. The tools are available to anyone with internet access, even if only momentarily, and the volume of information that it can provide us can’t be achieved by any library in the world.

So it is crucial to take the discussion to another level. If we want to think that finding answers more quickly is great, we will certainly be correct about it. But the delicate point in the discussion here is how students are being guided on their way to distinguish genuine and relevant information online. And how to use the answer they found to elaborate their own ideas.

And the solution to this problem is teachers better prepared to accept and manage the online resources available to their students. It might have become the time when classes should start with a reflection and guidance on how to use the internet, and then take it from there.
