26 Critical Thinking Tools Aligned With Bloom's Taxonomy
Fostering critical thinking skills is always a challenge in teaching. Educators still honor Bloom's Taxonomy as the basis of learning. With that giving way to its revised and updated interpretations, we now have critical thinking tools that can help in all of the key components of developing such skills.
In a nutshell, learning encompasses a series of specific tasks, sometimes in order, but most often not.
The elements are there and online tech tools can help today's digital students to navigate through the elements collaboratively. In Bloom's Digital Taxonomy, Andrew Churches outlines critical thinking skills through the lens of Digital Natives. The levels of this taxonomy are:
- Remembering
- Understanding
- Applying
- Analyzing
- Evaluating
- Creating
The challenge is to go from traditional uses of the taxonomy to best digital practices—that is, as a Global Digital Learner. We'll list the components of Digital Taxonomy and then look at critical thinking tools for students of the digital age to develop their skills with.
Critical Thinking Tools That Help Learners Remember
Remembering is: Recognizing, Listing, Describing, Identifying, Retrieving, Naming, Locating/Finding
In the tech world, this looks like: Bullet-Pointing, Highlighting, Bookmarking, Social Networking, Social Bookmarking, Favouriting/Local Bookmarking, Searching, Googling
Tools to Try: YouTube and other "flipped learning" video sites that allow teachers to create and post their lectures online are great ways to reach learners when they're most comfortable, and when they have time. With Remembering skills being practiced before class, your meeting time with students is reserved for higher-order thinking skills. Here's more on flipped learning from Jon Bergmann.
Any tool that can help you create great flipped lectures belongs in this list. There's PowToon, EdTED, and Clarisketch as other great examples.
Delicious allows for students to search the web and share their finds in a repository of bookmarks, like hunting and gathering information for the community to share and discuss. Think of taking the Internet and its vast store of information and highlighting it, like we used to highlight important stuff in our old paper textbooks.
Critical Thinking Tools That Help Learners Understand
Understanding is: Interpreting, Exemplifying, Summarizing, Inferring, Paraphrasing, Classifying, Comparing, Explaining
In the tech world, this looks like: Advanced Searches, Boolean Searches, Blog Journalling, Tweeting, Categorizing And Tagging, Commenting, Annotating, Subscribing
Tools to Try: Mindmaps! Tools like Mindmaple and MindNode stand out among some of the best mind mapping tools available on the Web. If you want to explore more, check out this article on Lifehacker for their take on the best 5 tools for creating mindmaps.
Students can also get answers to their questions by making use of simple tools like forums, or by conducting Skype interviews.
Critical Thinking Tools That Help Learners Apply
Applying is: Implementing, Carrying Out, Using, Executing, Doing
In the tech world, this looks like: Running, Loading, Playing, Operating, Hacking, Uploading, Sharing, Editing, Wiki Editing
Tools to Try: Website/blogging tools like Weebly and Edublogs are the resources you need to do this. For more suggestions, download the second book in our free tools for teachers ebook series, called Tools for Teachers: Writing, Blogging, and Websites.
The best tools here are ones that help you plan a course of action for application. Gantt charts can give you an idea of a timeline for progression and completion. Never built one before? This article on Smartsheet has got you covered.
You may also want to dabble in organized task management applications. For this kind of process, great tools like Basecamp and Asana can help you get the job done.
Critical Thinking Tools That Help Learners Analyze
Analyzing is: Comparing, Organising, Deconstructing, Attributing, Outlining, Structuring, Integrating
In the tech world, this looks like: Mashing, Linking, Reverse-Engineering, Cracking, Mind-Mapping, Validating, Calculating
Tools to Try: The tools for Apply are the same kinds of applications that work well for this stage of the Taxonomy.
Critical Thinking Tools That Help Learners Evaluate
Evaluating is: Checking, Hypothesizing Critiquing, Experimenting, Judging, Testing, Detecting, Monitoring
In the tech World, this looks like: Blog/Vlog Commenting, Reviewing, Posting, Moderating, Collaborating, Networking, Reflecting, Alpha/Beta Testing
Tools to Try: The key difference between Analyzing and Evaluating is collaboraion. What's useful is putting your product out there for critique and beta testing.
For evaluating information, tools like Snopes and FactCheck.org are worth looking at. As you use these tools, remember to to "balance check" various news sources and information resources for patterns and connected ideas.
Critical Thinking Tools That Help Learners Create
Creating is: Designing, Constructing, Planning, Producing, Inventing, Devising, Making, Building
In the tech world, this looks like: Programming, Filming, animating, Blogging, Video Blogging, Mixing, Remixing, Wiki-ing, Publishing, Videocasting, Podcasting, Directing/Producing
Tools to Try: Students can build digital portfolios using Google Sites, Evernote, and VoiceThread. If they're into podcasting, get them on Audacity or Podbean.
Blogging tools include the ones mentioned in Apply, along with Wix, WordPress, and Ghost. Video tools to look at are ones such as Jahshaka, WeVideo, or Magisto. You can find more great tools in our ebook Tools for Teachers: Media Development.
With so many different project ideas out there as well as apps to foster critical thinking skills, it's easy to get caught up in taking too much time to find the right tool. Hopefully, this article will help that process go smoother.

Revelation 20:1-6New King James Version (NKJV)
20 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; 3 and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
The Saints Reign with Christ 1,000 Years
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a[a] thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

POSSESSED - Seven Churches (1985)
01 The Exorcist
02 Pentagram
03 Burning In Hell
04 Evil Warriors
05 Seven Churches
06 Satan's Curse
07 Holy Hell
08 Twisted Minds
09 Fallen Angel
10 Death Metal
'Seven Churches' is the debut album by death/thrash metal band Possessed released on October 16th 1985 via Combat Records. The title of the album refers to the Seven Churches of Asia mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
This is one album that has caused a lot of controversy; because nobody is exactly sure what to call it. 'Seven Churches' is believed to be the "first death metal" album ever made. To a certain degree, I can agree with that. I believe that the term "Death Metal" in the early to mid-80s was really just another name for thrash metal that was extremely brutal and raw sounding (e.g. Slayer), also take into consideration that Kreator's 1985 album 'Pleasure To Kill' was also labelled Death Metal, and how Death Metal itself as a genre did not properly come to fuition until Death's 'Scream Bloody Gore' was released. Sure, for its time, it could have easily been full-on Death Metal, but in reality it was a group of teens influenced by thrash metal, accidentally laying down the blue-print for more demonic musical developments to come.
It all kicks off with the haunting intro of Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" (better known as the theme from William Friedkin's classic horror epic, "The Exorcist") and the song of that same title follows with razor-sharp riffing, Jeff Becerra's glass-gargling screams and growls over Mike Sus' chaotic drumming. Sus' coming from a jazz background, which accounted for his off-kilter style that was atypical of drummers in those days. Among the other highlights, "Pentagram," "Twisted Minds," and "Fallen Angel" have best stood the test of time, offering glimpses of the trends to follow with their surprisingly mature songwriting. They then close the proceedings in ferocious fashion with the appropriately titled "Death Metal."
Possessed followed the release with a supporting tour which included a performance with Slayer and Venom at San Francisco's Kabuki in 1986. On Halloween, 1986, Possessed released their second album, 'Beyond the Gates'. The following May, the band issued a five-song EP titled 'The Eyes of Horror' which marked a change in direction for the band. The Satanic themes they had become noted for were completely absent, and the songs had more of a thrash metal style than their earlier death metal. Shortly after the release of the 'Eyes of Horror' EP, the band disbanded.
*For the extreme lyrics and uses of the word "fuck", the album was one of the first (in 1985) to receive the RIAA's "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics" sticker.

A chartered plane carrying a Brazilian first division soccer team and journalists to the finals of a regional tournament crash overnight.
Only six people are believed to have survived. One, a goalie for the Chapecoence team, reportedly died after reaching hospital. It's believed there were 81 people on board.
The crew of the plane, a BAE 146 short-haul carrier, declared an emergency due to electrical failure shortly before the plane went down near the airport in Medellin, Colombia. Rescuers had to overcome tough mountainous conditions to reach the wreckage.
Weather was also reported to be bad in the area.

Cristine de Mezerville Ferreto
Engineer , Miss Costa Rica and
Competitor in the Miss World 2000 Pagent
Find out more about Miss World 2000
Events_Moderator: Welcome! For those of you just joining us, we are chatting with Miss Costa Rica, Cristine de Mezerville Ferreto. She's competing in the Miss World 2000 Pageant in London!
Events_Moderator: Okay everyone! Let's welcome Cristine to this LYCOS Live Event! Welcome Cristine! How are you this evening?
Miss_Costa_Rica: I'm very happy to be here in London; especially in the Miss World Pageant with the other 94 beautiful girls. :)
Events_Moderator: What is it like in London with all the other girls? Is it tense or is everyone getting along?
Miss_Costa_Rica: I think that we don't have stress. It's really nice relating to all the other girls. Everyone is friendly and we help each other if someone is feeling down because they miss their family or their friends. It's nice to be here.
Events_Moderator: Is this your first pageant? How did you first get into beauty pageants?
Miss_Costa_Rica: This is my 6th pageant. I started with a pageant in Costa Rica for a makeup brand. I was also in Columbia for the International Queen of Coffee, and in a pageant in Mexico, and one in Houston. I was also in the Miss Costa Rica contest.
Events_Moderator: How much do you use the Internet?
Miss_Costa_Rica: I use it a lot. I enjoy chatting with other people and checking my e-mail. I also use the Web to find things about my career or something about myself.
Events_Moderator: What has been the best experience so far in your career? Is there a moment in particular that sticks out the most?
Miss_Costa_Rica: I'm an industrial engineer and I love to work in that kind of activity. Now I work in a candy factory . . . so for me is very hard not to eat chocolates and candies, because I love it!
Events_Moderator: What are your days like in London preparing for the pageant? Have you been going out much? I hope it is not all business out there.
Miss_Costa_Rica: I'm really enjoying my stay here in London. I try not to be stressed and stay quiet and calm. I speak with myself to not feel pressured and only think of positive things. I think if you have a negative mind, your life is going to be negative. So I try to think good things and to do my best. Not all is business though, we have a lot of fun, we share with other girls and we go shopping! And yesterday we went to the House of Lords. It's an incredible place. I really like it. {laughs}
Events_Moderator: What is the hardest thing about being a contestant?
Miss_Costa_Rica: Staying the person you are. You don't have to try to appear that you are a different person. You have to be always be the person you are. Because I really like to smile, I'm always smiling. But if I were not that kind of person, it would be hard to smile. I think the best you can do is be the person that you are.
Events_Moderator: What's the most important thing you're taking home from the Miss World Pageant?
Miss_Costa_Rica: I think that I grew as a person. I learned a lot of things about myself and about life. It's really hard to be far from home, so you have to be calm. I think that the most important thing is that I grew up. And I know that I really love my family and that my family really loves me. :)
Events_Moderator: Miss Costa Rica, has anybody told you that you look very much like Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe?
Miss_Costa_Rica: Yes, once in Mexico. Before we left, someone asked if was Alicia Machado. I wanted to say yes, I'm Alicia . . . but no, I'm not Alicia. Five people told me that I look like her. People that do makeup, they told me that. :)
Thanks for taking the time to chat with us, Cristine! Good luck in the pageant
and beyond!

While most people don't automatically consider college students to be financial leaders, college students showcase some financially secure tendencies that can be instructive for the rest of us. Financial lessons are often learned from trial and error and come about through times of change and growth. That's why we can learn a thing or two from those college kids out there, who are busy learning, growing, and transitioning. And evidently, setting some great examples for the frugal financial-ista.
This post originally appeared on ReadyForZero.
If you're looking for some inspiration, you could benefit from implementing any of these highly effective habits of the college student:
The Ramen Strategy
I'm not saying that you have to eat ramen until you're 30. It's a comforting and cheap meal but your heart would probably shrivel 3 sizes from the sodium. BUT there's something to be learned from the eating habits of college students—mainly, that you can get by without spending too much and by cooking at home. Food often takes up a good chunk of the budget so it's a great place to look for spending vacuums.

Aboriginal Cultural Heritage
Killalea State Park would like to acknowledge the tradition custodians of this land. We would like to acknowledge Aboriginal elders past and present from the Dharawal and Yuin nations and all Aboriginal people who visit Killalea State Park.
The Aboriginal name for the land where Killalea State Park is situated is Araringong, meaning 'swamp between Bass Point and Minnamurra'.
The park was used by the Aboriginal community for its abundant food and resources, especially shell fish. The park is culturally significant to the Aboriginal community, as important sites are still present and resources found within continue to be utilised by the Aboriginal community.
The Scar Tree located at the entrance of the park was originally from Dunmore, NSW. The scars on the Forest Red Gum tree indicate the use of natural resources by the Aboriginal community in the area. The cultural practice of removing bark form a tree did not kill
it, but left a scar.
The bark, once removed from trees, was used by the Aboriginal community to make shields, canoes, coolamons and for shelter.
The area around the Scar Tree is a cultural education precinct where visitors to the park can learn about the local Aboriginal history.

The ability to measure innovation is essential to an improvement strategy in education. This country note analyses how the practices are changing within classrooms and educational organisations and how teachers develop and use their pedagogical resources.
New Zealand, is one of the OECD countries with large and longstanding labour migration. The report finds that by and large, the New Zealand labour migration system is functioning well. Several features of the NZ immigration system, such as the Expression of Interest system, are gradually about to become an example for selection systems elsewhere in the OECD.
The average worker in New Zealand faced a tax burden on labour income (tax wedge) of 16.9% in 2013 compared with the OECD average of 35.9%. New Zealand was ranked 33 of the 34 OECD member countries in this respect.
English, PDF, 247kb
Analysis for New Zealand from OECD trade facilitation indicators that identify areas where countries can improve border procedures, reduce trade costs, boost trade flows and reap greater benefits from international trade.
English, PDF, 386kb
This note presents key findings for New Zealand from Society at a Glance 2014 - OECD Social indicators. This 2014 publication also provides a special chapter on: the crisis and its aftermath: a "stress test" for societies and for social policies.
The per capita income of New Zealand remains low compared to other advanced OECD countries, mostly owing to a substantial productivity gap vis-à-vis top performers.
These country notes contain indicators which compare the political and institutional frameworks of national governments as well as revenues and expenditures, employment, and compensation. They include a description of government policies on integrity, e-government and open government.
The global economic crisis has had a profound impact on people's well-being, reaching far beyond the loss of jobs and income, and affecting citizens' satisfaction with their lives and their trust in governments, according to a new OECD report.
New Zealand must significantly increase its efforts to detect, investigate and prosecute foreign bribery. Since joining the Convention over 12 years ago, New Zealand has not prosecuted any cases of foreign bribery and only four allegations have surfaced to date. Outdated perceptions that New Zealand individuals and companies do not bribe may have also undermined detection efforts.
The NZ labour market is among the most flexible in the OECD, and outcomes for its young people have been among the best. However, labour-market opportunities are heavily determined by initial education, where New Zealand's system is also successful and innovative in many ways.

The Relationship With The English Cultural Studies Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
My research project focuses on Welsh identity, particularly in the context of the cultural relationship between the Welsh and the English, taking into consideration examples of tensions and negative sentiments as well as tolerance and social inclusion. The Welsh language plays an important part in this analysis, especially with regards to cultural identity in terms of a social division between speakers and non-speakers of the language.
A lot has been written on the subject of Welsh identity and there is a very broad range of publications. Fiona Bowie's article Wales from within: Conflicting Interpretations of Welsh Identity has been a strong influence on this essay. It provides a "Through the Looking Glass" perspective on stereotypes of "Welshness", the Welsh language, local community spirit, the Welsh/English as "us/them", nationalism, identity, hostility, etc. I found it interesting that Fiona Bowie uses the term "Welshness" as a word to describe Welsh cultural identity in her book quite extensively.
Similarly, Living in Rural Wales by Noragh Jones has been an important source of information for my research, particularly as the book focuses on life in rural Ceredigion.
The Dragon Has Many Faces by Richard Michael Diedrich is a book about rural communities in Wales and the theoretical development of "anthropology at home" in Britain. Diedrich places an interesting emphasis on the cultural bias of the anthropologist in the study of rural communities, referring to urban English anthropologists as searching for alternatives to their own bureaucratic and alienating societies. In contrast, he depicts the native rural Welsh anthropologist as subject to a different type of idealization, being influenced by the dominant theme of the nationalist discourse. It is perhaps important to note that Diedrich wrote his book from his own culturally biased perspective of a German anthropologist.
When talking about the inhabitants of rural Wales, their sense of place and reasons for living here, the idea of community will always be mentioned. The concept is used to express strongly held beliefs about a way of living, a personal identity based on a sense of belonging to a particular place, and a set of shared values (Jones 1993: 13).
I recently had a conversation with a local lady who works in one of the shops in Lampeter. I asked her what she thought of the local community:
'I wouldn't say that there is just one community here. It's a lot of different groups, like in many towns these days. It would be really nice if everyone was great friends with everyone in the same town, but it's not like that anymore, maybe it used to be like that in the past, like fifty years ago, but it's natural for people to split off into their own little groups. A lot of older Welsh speakers stick together still, finding it quite difficult to accept English people as part of the same community. It's difficult for people like my parents, who grew up speaking Welsh at home and in school, and always identified with the language as well as the place, to relate to English people in the same way that they do with other Welsh speakers their age, having grown up together, sharing the same memories of the place, the changes it went through over the years. It's not quite the same for us, the younger generation. I was born here, but we were taught to speak English at school and it sort of feels like English is my first language because I use it so much more than I do Welsh these days, even though I speak Welsh fluently, especially with my parents and older people. Lampeter is quite different to other small towns in the area; the university makes it more international and more English. Some other places are more Welsh, you know...'
Community in rural Mid Wales operates as a social mechanism which binds individuals together, forming a context of social organisation and acting as a defence against pressures of external economic exploitation. The Welsh/English antagonism is most apparent and immediate on the community level, where Welsh people directly experience the impact of the English incomers. The fact that the concept of community is central to all variants of Welsh nationalist ideologies comes as no surprise (Diedrich 1993: 148-153).
Nationalism is a principle which states that the political and the national should correspond. The sentiment of nationalism can be aroused by the violation of the political principle, or the feeling of satisfaction due to its fulfilment. One particularly sensitive form of violation of the nationalist principle occurs when the rulers of the political unit belong to a nation other than that of the ruled, which is the case of Wales as part of the United Kingdom (Gellner 2006: 1-7).
Defining the community as an entity plays an essential part in social anthropology, being a prerequisite for functionalist analysis of culture as developed by Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown. The main objective of this analysis is to emphasise the functional interdependencies of people within a society and their contribution to the maintenance of the society as a whole.
Anthony Cohen, perhaps the most influential anthropologist in the modern study of communities, is mainly concerned with the problem of how local communities can maintain a sense of distinctiveness, particularly in times of threats to their structural boundaries by a powerful external force which tries to impose its structures upon them. The members of communities have developed a determined response to changes imposed from the outside because the community provides a space within which people can define their identities as individuals as well as members of a collective. When the community is threatened with destruction, people feel that an important part of their identity will also be destroyed.
"The ethnography of the locality is an account of how people experience and express their difference from others, and how their sense of difference becomes incorporated into and informs the nature of their social organisation and process." (Cohen 1982:2)
In recent years, the word 'community' has been taken over and used extensively by the government and public bodies, creating expressions such as 'community care', 'community service' and 'community school'. This interference from the government has only become necessary because the traditional organic communities are disappearing. A growing number of urban people began to realise their dream of escaping to the country, in retreat from unemployment and crime, and more importantly the failure of community, which led to a great influx of incomers into rural Wales. However, when tens of thousands of people move from urban areas into small villages in search of community, they are in danger of destroying the very thing they are looking for. It has become increasingly difficult for people to relate to each other when fewer people living in the same place are likely to share the same beliefs and values, or the same language (Jones 1993: 13).
I wanted to know what life in the local area is like for a family of English incomers and I found it very useful to get a chance to speak to a family with young children who were born in Lampeter and identify themselves as Welsh despite their parents English origin:
'This is the sort of place that you either love or hate. We were both students here and loved it, we just couldn't leave. We knew that it's not the sort of town where we were likely to get the sort of jobs that graduates would expect, so it was a bit of a struggle at first. We bought a house with quite a bit of land around it really cheap compared to the south of England, where we grew up. The house wasn't in great condition, so we practically had to rebuild it. My husband is pretty good at general building work and renovation, which was quite useful as he got work helping other people renovate old houses too. I did a bit of everything to make ends meet; I was giving piano lessons to some local school children for a while as well. We had a go at sheep farming for a while as well, which turned out to be more difficult than it seemed at first. We have a steady income from this small shop now, and we can manage for as long as the recession doesn't get any worse. We wouldn't want to go back to England and live in a city now, after being here for so long. It's a different kind of community and it wasn't easy to adapt at first, but the Welsh neighbours were always friendly, but we still felt like it was easier to talk to other English incomers like ourselves. It just felt like we had a lot more in common, so it was obviously easier. When the children went to school, they started learning Welsh, so I started to learn a bit myself as I wanted to be part of their experiences. I realised that there aren't actually that many people to use it with. There are so many English people around here that there is no actual need for me to speak Welsh. I think I understand how some of the local Welsh speakers must feel about hearing their language less and less. Quite a few of the pubs and shops are now run by English people who don't speak Welsh.
Most of us came to live here because we appreciate a small community with beautiful countryside stretching in every direction. This is where we chose to live and bring up our children, so we feel like it is our community just as much as it is everyone else's. The kids were born here and they both say they are Welsh, not English. It's almost as if they feel like it's their duty to defend their Welsh identity and they both speak Welsh fluently now.'
Learning and speaking Welsh can never be a politically neutral act. Welsh speakers often associate learning Welsh with support for nationalist causes, or perhaps even extremist groups (Bowie 1993: 169). For the almost 80% percent of the population of Wales for whom Welsh is a foreign language, any definition of Welsh identity which prioritises the Welsh language may pose a potential threat to their own sense of identity. The question of the extent to which the Welsh language can be taken as the prime determining factor of Welsh identity reveals deep and unresolved social divisions (Bowie 1993: 169).
According to the Welsh Language Board's 2004 survey, 21% of the population of Wales speak the Welsh language. (2004 Welsh Language Use Survey: The report on-line. Accessed 18/05/2010). The proportion of Welsh was falling steadily during the first half of the 20th century, which led to the founding of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg, also known as the Welsh Language Society. Their campaigns have been successful in making the Welsh language more visible in public services, and the creation of bilingual road signs.
Some people have complained about the tactics employed by the Welsh Language Society, as they have been high-impact and media-conscious, and perhaps considered to be too aggressive by many conservative Welsh speakers of the older generation. Many English incomers feel uneasy when their attention is forced upon a language which they may find impenetrable and intimidating (Jones 1993: 134).
The Welsh Language Society had warned in the 60's that failure to assimilate incomers to the local language and culture would inevitably lead to a steady Anglicisation of local communities, but the Welsh did not see the necessity for English people to speak Welsh, and they continue to be reluctant for various reasons to help incomers learn the language. It seems that the local people are not emotionally ready to share their language with strangers, or perhaps it can be attributed to a shyness of people in rural communities, which does not make it easy to talk in any language when strangers are present and their potential responses and reactions are unpredictable (Jones 1993: 135).
Social groups in a structurally weak position are forced by their circumstances to make a careful study of their more dominant neighbours, while at the same time protecting themselves from the gaze of the outsiders. The possession of a distinctive ancient language has been a two-way mirror through which the Welsh have been able to view the English for centuries, while the English see only what the Welsh allow them to see. Everyday interactions in most Mid Wales rural communities can easily polarise along Welsh/English lines, as English incomers and native Welsh tend to lead fairly separate lives (Bowie 1993: 172).
Various studies of Welsh identity have indicated that Welsh speakers respond more positively and promptly to requests for help if they are made in Welsh rather than in English, an attitude which is not entirely confined to people who speak Welsh as their first language. Welsh learners, both English and Welsh, confirmed that at their places of work they tend to deal more quickly with members of the public who address them in Welsh. It is almost as if being able to speak Welsh identifies people as members of an elite group with a certain sense of solidarity towards each other.
I had a chat with an elderly lady who has been living in a small village near Lampeter all her life. She was more than happy to give me her opinion on her local community, welsh identity, and language:
'For me, being Welsh is such a big part of my identity. We always speak Welsh here at home, and always have done. My children speak Welsh at home with their children, my grandchildren, but they go to the village school and many English children go there as well, and the English language dominates. It's very hard for the Welsh children to learn to speak Welsh properly nowadays. Sometimes I feel like we might as well be living in England, but I don't think that keeping the incomers out would be an answer in the long run. It's good to see that some of the newcomers are willing to help us keep what is valuable of our old traditions, our history, culture and identity. You can't just be a part of a community by coming here and wondering why the locals aren't more friendly. You can't be a part of it if you don't make an effort to get involved and understand the community and the culture. I guess sometimes the problem is that Welsh people won't speak out about our language and culture when there are outsiders present.
It's about understanding each other, and being proud to show our culture to incomers. I know that a lot of them are looking for something different, a small place in the country, with a nice and friendly community, a good place to bring up your children, and that is why they come here. I think it's our duty to explain our culture and our communities to incomers and getting them to want to be a part of our culture. '
The difficulty of bridging the gap between Welsh and non-Welsh speakers, between natives and incomers, has been the greatest problem facing any organisation attempting to promote a national Welsh identity. This issue has particularly preoccupied Plaid Cymru in their attempts to define Welsh national identity in a way which would support separate nation status. The English are an essential part of Welsh identity, perhaps not in defining what Welsh people are, but in providing a symbol of what they are not (Bowie 1993: 191).
Collective identities have to struggle against their own contradictions, which lie in the fact that social groups are composed of self conscious individuals whose differences have to be reconciled to a degree which allows the group to cohere. As a collective entity, a cultural group has to suffer and reconcile the contrasting and competing claims made on it by its collective members. If there is anything that unifies the people of Wales, despite their diversity, it is their preoccupation with locality and community.

text: News Boy Scouts mull allowing openly gay troop leaders Like Tweet Share Pin Email 0 Comments June 7, 2012 5:09 PM WOODBURY - A major policy change could be in the works for the Boy Scouts of America: the group is considering a resolution to allow, for the first time ever, openly gay men and women to serve as troop leaders.However, a spokesman says there's no expectation that the ban on gay leaders will be lifted anytime soon. The policy needs to be approved by a subcommittee, then approved by the national executive board, and the policy likely wouldn't change until next year. Former Scout James Fallorino, of Westbury, says he thinks it's time for the organization to get with the times. He says he was tossed out of the Scouts when he was 15 after being falsely accused of making a sexual advance toward another boy.Fallorino says he applauds the effort by the Boy Scouts to be more inclusive and less discriminatory.

Thursday, the 3rd, was jparks and I's second anniversary. We went out to a fancy dinner, shingles be damned.
We went to Sent Sovi and the meal was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed all of the courses (10!) and wine pairings and jparks found things to complain about ("There's too much food!") and, since his greatest joy in life is complaining, I can say he had a good time too.
The rest of our weekend was pretty low key, mainly spent hanging out with friends and doing as little running as possible. I figured shingles weren't enough to keep me away from fancy meals and friends, but were enough to keep my sports bra at bay. This now means that my training is a week off, but I have enough buffer weeks built in that I should still be fine. And speaking of shingles, mine have scabbed over, which eww but also yay! The recovery time has gone much faster than my doctor anticipated and while it's still painful, it's not as painful as it was last week. Today I'm going to slap on the sports bra and try for a four mile run. I think I can. I think I can.
My goal for the weekend was to get all of our laundry washed and put away which, if you recall, is no small task. It took me five episodes of Gossip Girl, plus some of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to complete. In the end I found out that we have more clothes than clothes hangers and that sometimes the stupid iron leaks rusty water onto the shirt you are ironing forcing you to rewash it. And please don't suggest that if I stay on top of the laundry now, I won't ever have to devote a whole day to washing, drying, ironing, and folding, because I will force you to come over and stay on top of my laundry for me. And trust me, you don't want to deal with finding black socks for jparks. It is enough to drive a very patient and loving wife bat-shit insane; so imagine what it could do to you.

Myths About Anger Anger is inherited
Anger automatically leads to aggression You must be aggressive to get what you want Venting anger is always desirable
Anger Meter A simple way to monitor your anger is to use a 1 to 10 scale called the anger meter. A score of 1 on the anger meter represents a complete lack of anger or a total state of calm, whereas 10 represents an angry and explosive loss of control that leads to negative consequences.
Events That Trigger Anger
When you get angry, it is because you have encountered an event in your life that has provoked your anger Many times, specific events touch on sensitive areas These sensitive areas or "red flags" usually refer to long-standing issues that can easily lead to anger
Cues To Anger A second important way to monitor anger is to identify the cues that occur in response to the anger-provoking event These cues serve as warning signs that you have become angry and that your anger is escalating Cues can be broken down into four cue categories: physical, behavioral, emotional, and cognitive (or thought) cues
