The war in Osetiya: a view from Russia.

The war in Osetiya: a view from Russia.

Hello!

Not all media in the west, especially in the usa, in my opinion, convey objective information.

But Bbc.co.uk published: "7 August 2008 After escalating Georgian-Ossetian clashes, sides agree to ceasefire; however Georgia launches a surprise attack".

I would recommend that you also read the Russian press to have information from both sides.
Here is the translated version:

And also:

Russia, Ossetians and Georgia - the fraternal peoples. What about - which of leaders is responsible for this crime, as well as my opinion ... I will leave my opinion in order to give you a chance to form your unbiased opinion including on the basis of articles at the Russian sites too, which you can read using any online translator.

Once again, many Western and US Media hides the facts. Few journalists can not always publish truthful unbiased information, even when so wish, and that we are seeing now, when this happens masse.

P.S. This is strange, but in osetiya now there is not one foreign journalist, no one. They are all in Georgia and transmit information on the basis that will hear from Georgian officials ... ... Is this correct?

"I hope Santa uses the internet By iLove

Dear Santa,

I am nineteen years old and have long forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, but I hope with this letter you'll send a miracle. My Dad is deathly ill with cancer. He is a Husband, Dad, Grandfather and Friend. Most importantly, he is one of the greatest men still alive on this planet. He is not my Dad by blood but took me in as his daughter, one of his little angels. It is too soon for him to leave this earth, but if it has to be so let him go in peace. Many people have forgotten the meaning behind Christmas and its tale of life and death. Nowadays it is mistaken for material gifts instead of the beauty of love and life. This holiday I hope everyone is thankful for the people they have in their lives and I am so lucky to be blessed with a Dad like mine.


Love always,

Daddy's Little Angel"

Mistakes to avoid when making Money Online by JERMIL GARCIA

Mistakes to avoid when making Money Online

Have you ever heard of a webmaster saying that their website is getting thousands of visitors every day but making only a few bucks daily?

Well, there must be something wrong with their websites. Massive number of visitors daily but small money? They must have some website mistakes. I'm pretty sure you don't want to become one of them, spending most of their time generating traffic, submitting links but in the end earning a little.

To make money online, you must properly optimize your site and avoid mistakes in your site. Below are the points to consider to avoid mistakes in your website:

1. JavaScript pop ups - JavaScript popup are notification windows that automatically appears when you visit a website. I’m pretty sure that you have encountered a lot of these pop ups. It’s a message box with an “OK” button at the end. Before, Pop ups are very popular but quickly became a no-no because they are annoying web visitors. Usually pop ups are not important. Well,it seems like pop ups do nothing but disturb visitors! However, if you have an important message that is needed to be displayed, a JavaScript pop up could still be a good idea, but I strongly advise you not to overuse it.

2. Outdated content - You should remove information and contents that are already outdated or no longer useful. Update your website when you found the latest information you think your visitors will like to read. Search engines and web visitors both like fresh ideas.You should consider publishing new articles on an ongoing basis these may increase your traffic and increase your profit.

3. Too many graphics and pictures - Too many graphics and photos to your site can slow your website loading. It is common to visitors not to wait too long to get into a site, if your site takes a minute to load then you lose. Some of the web visitors are still using dial-up connection, which means they will have trouble downloading websites that have large number of graphics.

4. High contracting colors – Yes, High contracting colors would grab the visitor’s attention but it can also hurt their eyes, making them uncomfortable makes them leave your website. You need to limit the use of high contracting colors. Website background should be simple and plain. Texts should be contradicted to the backgrounds color. You can use contracting colors to your sites title and headline to catch your visitor’s attention.

5. Clutter up pages – Confusion from too much content, I’m sure you’ve experienced this before. Looking for information but that information is hard to find and you have to go through other pages but still it can’t be found. If your visitors got confused they will definitely leave your site. If the visitor thinks that they have to weed out useless information to find what they really need then you will surely lose that visitor. Don’t have too much information and content on one page. A good navigation system in your website will surely eliminate this problem.

6) Too many ads on your website – Visitors usually are looking for information and not ads. A website that has many ads and less content will definitely drive visitors away. You need to maintain a balance between your ads and content that’s on your site. The irony of the situation is: A visitor is more likely to click on an advertisement link if they do not feel that they are being bombarded by them. This is a situation where the saying “less is more” is true.

You can earn more money online if you have avoided these mistakes. Other websites are actually good but they lack cautiousness. Now that you’ve read this I’m pretty sure you can achieve your goal in no time. Large traffic to your site simply means fast money, big profit and makes earning money online easy.

Educational Leadrship Crisis by ED COET.

Educational Leadrship Crisis

I recently had the opportunity to participate in an interactive professional development seminar. The guest speaker, Sir Ken Robinson, a distinguished scholar and world renowned expert on creativity and innovation challenged educators and the business community in Killeen, Texas and the Killeen Independent School District to take a look at the educational techniques in a rapidly evolving society. Without doubt, Sir Ken Robinson is a gifted speaker and a consummate subject matter expert in his field. He was able to relate hard facts about the immense need for education reform while adding an element of humor that made his talk both entertaining and informative. I instantly became a fan of his.

Some of the key points articulated by Sir Ken include the need for educators to engage in a revolution – literally. He said things are changing faster then most people can grasp. This, according to Robinson, necessitates the need for teachers to think differently and to carefully inspect the logic of basic ideas regarding human resources and human capacity. He stressed the importance of educators to “engage” their students in the learning process.

There is nothing knew about the “engagement concept” with master educators. They have been doing this for years. Any genuine teacher who is worthy of being called an educator understands that you must engage students in the subject matter being taught if he/she is to have any hope of “educating” students. However, it was fair and proper for Sir Ken to reemphasize this valued point in light of the changing dynamics of our society.

Sir Ken Robinson rightly pointed out that students have access to more information then ever before in history. Also, they can’t possibly process all of the information the have access to. So, they process the part that is the most entertaining and interesting to them. This is literally a phenomenon that educators must compete with. It is precisely the failure to do this that at least in some measure is why students are not learning. Why should they pay attention in a boring class when there is so much more interesting and entertaining information that is otherwise available to them? Hence, it is imperative to raise the element of “interest” if education is to have any hope of competing with the rest of the vast information that is available to the modern student. Teacher’s can only achieve this if students are “engaged” in the subject matter.

Sir Ken is also correct that information itself is not knowledge. Knowledge is processed, analyzed, and applied information. We have a generation of kids that have more information then ever before but many of them are largely ignorant. Why? Because they have information but little knowledge. Information, as Sir Ken noted, is “simply data unless you do something with it.” To be educated you must be “knowledgeable.”

Robinson cleverly pointed out that while some will argue the science behind the cause of global warming, few will argue the reality of global warming. Then he went on to say that this not only causes a crisis in natural resources, but also in human resources. His point was that if education today is to succeed, we must understand the basic ecological concepts about what makes people prosper. What make us prosper today is largely service and technology based. That is very different from what enriched people only just a few decades ago. It will be different again in the next few decades. We can hardly anticipate what the needs of the world will be in 20 – 30 years. For instance, 20 or 30 years ago could anyone have even imagined the need for cell phones and lap tops that we have today? It is the mission of education to prepare for this phenomenal change because it absolutely is forthcoming. Education must learn to prepare students for the basic ecological concepts about what makes people prosper today and especially in to the future if we are to remain a world power.

Robison said there seems to be no progress in cultural toleration and understanding when referencing America’s religious intolerance with Middle Eastern countries. Here is where I differ with Robinson. Frankly, I think America is the most religiously tolerant country on planet earth and it is the Middle Eastern countries, not the USA, that must learn to have religious tolerance. However, I can agree with Robinson that the intolerance itself, regardless of who is responsible for it, is going to be an ever increasing threat to America’s economic prosperity and our livelihood. Sir Ken correctly points out the immergence of India, China, and the Middle East as technological giants. The demographics support them over us. They have the youth and we don’t. More of their youth is being well educated and prepared for the world we will live in tomorrow, in sheer numbers if not percentages, and then we are. They can surpass us if we are not careful. If they can envision the ecological and economic dynamics that face the world in the next few decades, and prepare for it while we fail to do the same, we will go the way of the British empire of the past. As Robinson correctly said, “We are planting trees whose shade we may never see. Drastic change takes time and in an impatient society, such as ours, is all too often unwilling to give it time. We have to change.

Sir Ken stressed that creativity dwindles as children get older and teachers are faced with the challenge to maintain creativity in students. He noted that many people think they are incapable of being creative, but they just don’t know the process. It is incumbent on teacher to “teach” that process.

I appreciated an analogy Sir Ken gave to a seed. He suggested, if I understood correctly, that we need to stop “schooling” and start “educating.” Schooling passes on to much information instead of developing knowledge. It is the job of the teacher to create a learning environment in which students can grow intellectually through engaging lessons. Engaging lessons should inspire thought and creativity. Robinson gave the example of how we create a perfect environment for a seed to grow in to a full grown tree. We don't add leaves and bark to the tree along the way. Rather, we just nurture and protect the environment of the tree to give it the opportunity to grow. We need to start looking at education in much the same way.

We need to enrich students in a perfect educational environment that will permit them to develop their creativity. It is creativity that made us the richest and most powerful nation on earth. It is also the ever increasing lack of creativity that threatens our economic status and power in the future. Robinson gave several examples of once poor students who made huge contributions when they were given the opportunity to be creative (i.e, Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein etc). If we are not careful we will stifle the greatest potential creative minds of the future.

Teachers must adapt to a rapidly changing world with developing technology. As Sir Ken noted, in the 1960’s it would have been preposterous to think that someone who graduated from college would not be able to find a job. Today this is often a reality. Today’s student must prepare for tomorrows needs. Educators must anticipate what those needs are and help to prepare our students for that time. It will have to be a collaborative effort with government, industry, and the business community. Nothing less will work.

I found little in what Sir Ken Robinson had to say that I would disagree with except for one key element that he over looked. The key part that was missing from his presentation was “leadership.” None of the aforementioned can happens if leadership is missing from the equation. If we have an education crisis it is largely because we also have a leadership crisis in education. Note that I did not say we have a management and admistrator problem. We are graduating more then enough people with expertise in management, accounting and administration skills. The problem is they don’t know how to “lead.”

Leaders are calculated “risk takers.” Many managers and administrators tend to retreat from risk. It happens all the time. They fear risk so much that they often find or devise intricate ways to hide and avoid risk. Cowardly managers and administrators also fear subordinate “risk takers." They view them as a threat to their positions. That inhibits the creativity that is so desperately needed to prepare our students for the future. Teacher’s who permit their students to explore more then prepare for standardized tests are developing student creativity. They also risk losing their jobs. I am not talking about moral issues here. I am referring to intellectual growth so do not confuse the two.

Cowards always pass the buck. If students fail it is always the teachers fault and never the administrators, the parents, society, or anyone else’s, to include the student. Take away the administrator title from cowards and you will find little left of “substance” in him or her.

Coward’s are never heroes. They run from controversy and risk while allowing others to take up the challenge. They may say, “Let your student’s explore,” but God help you if your students fail a standardized test. Administrative cowards know right from wrong but often refuse to take a stand for that which is obviously “right” or “correct.” They avoid all controversy regardless of the merits of the position or cause. Being right or "doing the right thing" means nothing to a coward if it involves any manner of personal risk.

Very often the issues that are most important are fraught with risk. That is why these issues are often left unattended. It is why teachers and especially students needlessly suffer, sometimes for generations. Cowardly administrators interfere with progress and justice.

Some people are genuinely fearful but courage involves overcoming fear; facing fear and still moving forward. That is what real leaders do. Leaders can be easily identified. We all know them when we see them. They “inspire” and “motivate” us. They rally us around a common cause. They are courageous and they “lead by example.” They rarely “direct,” accept as a last resort, to gain subordinate compliance.

Admistrators who lack leadership attributes invariably “order” subordinates in to action. They check their work, or have others do it, but rarely will they “show the way.” They hold demand expectations from their subordinates, expectations that they themselves invariably fail to meet. They are inclined to say, “Do as I say, not as I do.” They seldom request and they often threaten. They demand loyalty and respect, but do nothing to earn it. All they achieve is the best efforts that can be gained from reluctant compliance. Employees who are intimated, afraid, and bitter are incapable of giving their best. Their morale is always low. Collectively, this is damaging to the learning environment. Even if nothing is said students pick up on it.

If we are to solve the education crisis we must first solve the leadership crisis in education. No administrator should ever be allowed to hold themselves to a lesser standard then they hold their subordinates to. Indeed, standards are always higher for real leaders. We desperately need more leaders and fewer administrators in public education. Our nation’s future depends on it.
