What’s on Your Bucket List? 101 Things To Do Before You Die “Every man dies – Not every man really lives.” ~ William Ross“The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” ~ Author Unknown A few days ago, I was surfing online when I came across someone’s bucket list. It quickly inspired me to create my own list and write an article about it at the same time. What’s a Bucket List? If you haven’t heard about the term “bucket list”, it is a list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill and life experiences you desire to experience before you die. Why Create a Bucket List? If you don’t live your days by personal goals and plans, chances are you spend most of your time caught up in a flurry of day-to-day activities. Even if you frequently live by goals or to-do lists, they are probably framed within a certain social context e.g. performance, career, health. It’s just like planning ahead all the highlights you want for YOUR whole life. To get the free ebook, enter your name & email: Create Your Bucket List 1. How about you? 2.

Teaching: A Student Called Jacqueline - Education A former grade-school teacher reflects on his Teach for America days. For years, I have been haunted by the fate of Jacqueline Barnes, my best student during my second year teaching in the Mississippi Delta. She left my fourth grade classroom reading at the eleventh grade level, winning the school's reading contest by a wide margin. Jacqueline was pretty and quiet and had a halting, cautious manner, her eyes searching constantly about her for the next threat. Yet, in a way, they were right: Jacqueline’s poverty made theirs appear positively first-world. Each afternoon, once school was out, Jacqueline and her brother, Terence, stayed with me in the classroom, helping out with tasks, playing with the computer, or reading. Despite her situation, she made tremendous gains in my classroom. Three years ago, I finally returned to the Delta and drove down Percy Street, past the familiar line of shot-gun shacks and trailers. Nobody had died in the fire, she said, and that was all she knew.
Helena Blavatsky Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (Russian: Еле́на Петро́вна Блава́тская, Ukrainian: Олена Петрівна Блаватська), born as Helena von Hahn (Russian: Елена Петровна Ган, Ukrainian: Олена Петрівна Ган; 12 August [O.S. 31 July] 1831 – 8 May 1891), was a Russian occultist.[1] In 1875, Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, and William Quan Judge established a research and publishing institute called the Theosophical Society. Blavatsky defined Theosophy as "the archaic Wisdom-Religion, the esoteric doctrine once known in every ancient country having claims to civilization."[2] One of the main purposes of the Theosophical Society was "to form a nucleus of the Universal Brotherhood of Humanity, without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or color".[3] Blavatsky saw herself as a missionary of this ancient knowledge. The Theosophical Society had a major influence on Buddhist modernism and Hindu reform movements, and the spread of those modernised versions in the west. Biography[edit] Genealogy[edit] H.P.

Why Standardized Tests Kill the Joy of Learning - Education One mom illustrates how bureaucracy in education is failing our children, one standardized test at a time. My children have a mother who would eat early-American literature for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if she could. So imagine my delight when I recently learned that my son would read Edgar Allen Poe’s short story “The Purloined Letter” for 7th-grade Language Arts. I recalled my own exposure to Poe's well-formed, interminable sentences as a ninth grader. I quickly visualized my son's teacher asking students to read aloud selections to their class, prompting group discussions to analyze the plot, analogies, and subtleties in Poe's story. Alas, my fantasy was unfounded. Because I've already passed seventh grade, I opted not to insult my son's intelligence by meddling. “Mom,” he said, slamming the story on the table three days before his report was due. Complacency comes naturally to a 12-year-old. Remembering my own frustration with Poe, I provided my son with some background.

How To Build A Fireball You Can Hold&Video - StumbleUpon Redesigning Education: Rethinking the School Corridor "I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in most schools today and wonder how we could have tolerated anything so primitive."-John W. Gardner, Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, "No Easy Victories" (1968) Education reform is in the air and taking root in thousands of classrooms across the country. From overhauling No Child Left Behind to closing poorly performing schools and raising student expectations, the push for change is powerful. Yet, the space where most learning takes place--the school and classroom--has changed little over the last 200 years. Even before students set foot in a classroom, most schools still are built like factories: long hallways, lined with metal lockers, transport students to identical, self-contained classrooms. School designers have used the double loaded corridor for easy circulation. Photo courtesy of the American Architecture Foundation Let's design hallways with human beings in mind.

Food Nutrition Facts - Healthy Living Tips at WomansDay.com - Womans Day - StumbleUpon Every child has heard the healthy-eating mantra "You are what you eat." But there may be a closer resemblance between good-for-you grub and your body than you thought. We found 10 foods that mirror the body parts they provide nutrients for—for example, brain-boosting walnuts actually look like a brain. 1. Slice a carrot in half crosswise and it's easy to see that the veggie resembles an eye—look closely and you'll even notice a pattern of radiating lines that mimic the pupil and iris. 2. The folds and wrinkles of a walnut bring to mind another human organ: the brain. 3. Long, lean stalks of celery look just like bones—and they're good for them, too. 4. The lightbulb shape of an avocado looks like a uterus, and it supports reproductive health as well. 5. Studies have offered evidence that clams, which bear a resemblance to testicles, are actually good for the male sex organs. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
Studies Reveal Why Kids Get Bullied and Rejected Kids who get bullied and snubbed by peers may be more likely to have problems in other parts of their lives, past studies have shown. And now researchers have found at least three factors in a child's behavior that can lead to social rejection. The factors involve a child's inability to pick up on and respond to nonverbal cues from their pals. In the United States, 10 to 13 percent of school-age kids experience some form of rejection by their peers. "It really is an under-addressed public health issue," said lead researcher Clark McKown of the Rush Neurobehavioral Center in Chicago. And the social skills children gain on the playground or elsewhere could show up later in life, according to Richard Lavoie, an expert in child social behavior who was not involved with the study. Underlying all of this: "The number one need of any human is to be liked by other humans," Lavoie told LiveScience.
