Crab Cakes, Broiled or Pan Fried
Carol Crismer
I have been making this for a very long time and depending on my mood or the guests I've invited determined wether I added Old Bay seasoning. With or without the Old Bay, you will love these Crab Cakes.
Featured Pinch Tips Video
- jumbo lump / backfin crabmeat
- 1 Tbsp
- old bay seasoning
- 1 tsp
- dry mustard
- 1 Tbsp
- mayonnaise
- 1
- whole egg
- 1 tsp
- dry parsley
- 1 Tbsp
- bread crumbs
- dash(es)
- basil (optional)
1Prepare the crabmeat by gently separating it in a large bowl. Remove any shells that you come across.At this stage cover the crab and put it in the fridge to stay cool
In a separate bowl combine all the other igredients. Fold the crabmeat into the breadcrumb mixture trying not to overwork the recipe.
In a separate bowl combine all the other igredients. Fold the crabmeat into the breadcrumb mixture trying not to overwork the recipe.
2At this point you can cover the mixture and put it in the fridge until you're ready to cook them or form them into cakes.
3I have for years fried them in 4 to 5 tbls. salted butter, but recently I broiled them and they were fabulous. I also cut out 400-500 calories from the butter , not to mention the reduction in cholesteral. I also left out the Old Bay and found them to be very elegant fare with just the delicate crab flavor.

Everyone's Hero (working title: Yankee Irving) is a 2006 computer animated sports comedy-drama family film, directed by Colin Brady, Christopher Reeve (who was working on this film at the time of his death
In 1932, the dawn of the Great Depression, a young baseball fan Yankee Irving (Jake T. Austin), whose father Stanley (Mandy Patinkin) works as a janitor for New York City's Yankee Stadium, dreams of playing for the Yankees but can't even play sandlot baseball well enough to avoid being picked last. One day beside the sandlot, he finds a talking baseball he names Screwie (Rob Reiner).
While father and son are in the stadium, a thief steals Babe Ruth's famous bat Darlin' (Whoopi Goldberg). Yankee's father is blamed and accordingly fired. The true thief is Lefty Maginnis (William H. Macy), a pitcher for the Chicago Cubs. Lefty works for Cubs owner Napoleon Cross (Robin Williams), who desires to see the Cubs defeat the Yankees during the 1932 World Series.
Stealing the bat back, Yankee decides to return it to Ruth—and thereby exonerate his father—by journeying across the country to Chicago, where the next World Series' games will be played. Darlin' is able to speak, as does her counterpart Screwie, who she constantly argues and bickers with (though near the end, they finally become friends). Much of the plot is driven by Lefty's comic attempts to retrieve the bat from Yankee, with slapstick results. Other scenes involve Yankee meeting others who will help him in his quest: several hobos (Ed Helms); Marti (Raven-Symoné), an African American girl; her baseball player father Lonnie Brewster (Forest Whitaker); and in Chicago, Babe Ruth himself (Brian Dennehy).
), and Daniel St. Pierre, with music by John Debney. The majority of this film was produced by IDT Entertainment in Toronto with portions outsourced to Reel FX Creative Studios. It was distributed by20th Century Fox, and released theatrically on September 15, 2006.A young boy named Yankee Irving finds himself at an extraordinary crossroads: He has a chance to be a hero...

In 20 moves or less.
One day technology may turn against us, but first it'll help us impress our friends by helping us solve that pesky Rubik's cube.
For his bachelor thesis project, Martin Španěl created Mistr Kostky, an augmented reality Rubik's cube assistant that will help you solve your Rubik's cube in 20 moves or less. The augmented reality technology can analyze all of the pieces and devise a way for you to solve it with a quickness. Right now the project is a work in progress, but Španěl will release it once as it works on more cubes.Will it help us solve Rubik's cubes on our own? Probably not, but it might be a hit at parties.
World's best multitasker solves a Rubik's Cube while skydiving
Some people are just too accomplished for their own good. Not content merely with skydiving, Chris Walker decided to combine his love of extreme sports with his love of puzzles. The result is this death-defying video in which he solves a Rubik's Cube in the middle of a free fall.

(this is her dominant personality type)
(she also shows elements of this type)
38 | San Francisco, California
Fun Loving and Interested
She is a highly spontaneous, inquisitive and energetic person who always likes to try new things and has a genuine desire to be helpful to others and to the world at large.
She is charismatic, agreeable and adaptable and she can adapt to just about any social situation, convincing others she is just like them.
She is drawn to people who are direct, decisive and tough minded to balance out her flexible, spontaneous, intuitive style.
A few excerpts from her personality test:
- I tend to be cautious, but not fearful
- I am very empathetic
- My family and friends would say I have traditional values
Her 11 interests
in her own words...
This is hard. I think reflecting on my friends is the best way to define who I am. My best friends cover the spectrum. My high school girlfriends are fun loving, driven and successful women. My guy friends in SF are hilarious clowns who are into fitness, travel and refuse to grow up. The gaggle from my years living in DC are opinionated southerners, extremely family oriented and fiercely loyal. Finally there are my friends in the food/wine/spirits industry, who are inspired by farmers markets, each other, and experience in general. They are meticulous and constantly strive to improve their craft. I am immensely grateful for the relationships in my life, but I am ready to embark on a more serious romantic relationship. I'm looking for someone to learn from, someone who both challenges and accepts me. A man with a great sense of humor and who is willing to adventure with me. An honest man who knows what he wants and says it. A bit more: I am very straight forward. I love getting to know people and learning when ever I can. I have little patience for small talk. I am easy to laugh, am guaranteed to call you out when it's called for. I won't mind when you laugh at me--I will do or say something unintentionally ridiculous. I am a problem solver. When something is not right, I will do my best to make it right. I welcome anyone into my home. Someday I hope to have a house with fruit trees and room for friends and family to come and stay with frequency. I hope that next time I move I am also changing jobs and I can put my stuff in storage for a month or two and travel around places like Vietnam, Bali and Thailand, Italy and Eastern Europe. I love road trips, yoga, hiking, swimming, sailing, running, word games, thoughtful discussions about film, books, art, politics, cultural movements and high brow tv and trashy tv.

Leakes appeared with her "New Normal" costar Ellen Barkin Thursday night on "Watch What Happens Live," where viewers learned that old feuds die hard.
The "Clubhouse Superstar" (Leakes has appeared on the show 11 times now) mentioned during the After Show that she recently ran into ex-"Housewives" star Sheree Whitfield at a funeral. "Did you speak to her?" host Andy Cohen wondered. "Absolutely not," replied NeNe, who went on to slam "Chateau Sheree." Watch the Clip Above.

A High Middle Age complex. Quintanilla de las Viñas and tufa-stones pendentive domed churches from Álava, La Rioja and Burgos provinces [Un conjunto constructivo altomedieval. Quintanilla de Las Viñas y las iglesias con cúpulas sobre pechinas de piedra toba de las provincias de Álava, La Rioja y Burgos]
Caballero Zoreda L.,Institute Historia
Arqueologia de la Arquitectura | Year: 2015
Architectonic and structural forms, both preserved and ruined, are studied in this paper, as well as constructive customs and decorative solutions, in a group of tufa-stone pendentive domed churches from Álava, La Rioja and Burgos provinces. In a first step buildings are analyzed; secondly, decorative and constructive production is studied; and finally, datation of High Middle Age complex-between second half of the Ninth Century and the beginning of Tenth Century-is discussed since obtained data. These architectonic, constructive and decorative systems imply the existence of various productive groups which define a singular ensemble during the period of time and for the place in which this ensemble was active. © 2015 CSIC.

Dynamics of pioneer colonisation in the Early Iron Age in the Duero basin (Central Iberia, Spain): Integrating archaeological and palynological records
Blanco-Gonzalez A.,Durham University |
Lopez-Saez J.A.,Institute Historia
Environmental Archaeology | Year: 2013
This study addresses the earliest strategies of permanent occupation in the mountainous regions bordering Northern Meseta in inland Iberia. This piece of work gathers together and discusses archaeological information about settlement in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age and previously published high-resolution palynological cores from three study areas. Its major goal is to assess both archaeological and pollen records in order to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of occupation and transformation of these upland settings. Until cal 700 BC there are no clear signs of permanence in the highlands surrounding the Duero basin, but from that point onwards various initiatives of small-scale spontaneous colonisation have been identified. Colonisation in the Iron Age involved pastoralism, cereal agriculture and a significant use of forestry resources, causing a major anthropogenic impact with irreversible consequences. The outlined account constitutes the first synthetic overview at a macro-regional scale on the beginnings of the integrated and diversified strategies implemented in these upland regions. © Association for Environmental Archaeology 2013.

Macrowear and occlusal microwear on teeth of cave bears Ursus spelaeus and brown bears Ursus arctos: Inferences concerning diet
Pinto-Llona A.C.,Institute Historia
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology | Year: 2013
Cave bears Ursus spelaeus are known from many limestone caves throughout the European Pleistocene. Despite the enormous quantities of fossils unearthed, many aspects of the cave bear ecology are still little known. Cave bear remains appear almost always with an array of variously sized tooth punctures, and the evidence from tooth mark types and sizes at several cave bear sites studied here indicates that cave bears themselves were responsible for the scavenging modifications recorded at these cave bear-only sites. Anatomical evidence for cave bear diet indicates that they had a tough-plant based diet and in addition, their powerful front legs suggest an enhanced digging capability that has sometimes been thought to relate to digging for tubers. Dental microwear analysis (DMA) approaches fossil and extant diets by comparing tooth wear for animals of known diet with that shown by fossils. Scanning electron microscope micrographs were prepared and the microwear features were measured. The results show differences in wear patterns between brown bears and cave bears from several locations and chronologies across northern Spain. There is no indication that these cave bears ate tubers or any food contaminated by soil; but the dental microwear observed indicates that they had a greater degree of bone consumption compared with brown bears. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Holocene changes in precipitation seasonality in the western Mediterranean Basin: A multi-species approach using δ 13C of archaeobotanical remains

Precipitation has been of utmost importance in shaping the evolution of landscapes and human settlements in the Mediterranean. However, information on seasonal precipitation patterns through the Holocene is scarce. This study attempts to quantify the evolution of seasonal precipitation in the East Iberian Peninsula (5000 BC to AD 600) based on the carbon isotope composition (δ 13C) of archaeobotanical remains. Data on Holm oak, Aleppo pine and small-grain cereals were combined, and precipitation was inferred from models relating present-day records to the δ 13C of modern samples. Subsequently, charred grains were used as a proxy for ancient moisture during April-May, whereas oak and pine charcoals provided complementary rainfall estimates for September-December and January-August, respectively. The results reveal aridity changes throughout the Holocene in the western Mediterranean. Past spring-summer precipitation was consistently higher than at present. In contrast, autumn and early winter precipitation showed stronger fluctuations, particularly during the first millennium BC, and often exhibited values below those of the present. The high contribution of autumn precipitation to the annual water budget, typical of the present Mediterranean climate, was definitively established at the beginning of the current era. This study shows how a combination of species holding complementary environmental signals can contribute to a wider knowledge of local precipitation dynamics. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Source

Progress in Organic Coatings | Year: 2010
The behaviour/resistance of four optimised sol-gel coating systems (inorganic, hybrid organic-inorganic, containing zirconium ions and containing cerium ions) against corrosion of AZ91 magnesium alloy were studied. The coatings obtained by the sol-gel process were evaluated as autonomous protective coatings as well as a pre-treatment prior to acrylic top coat. The coating obtained from tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and diethoxydimethylsilane (DEDMS) as precursors and doped with Ce3+ was especially effective as pre-treatment for a final acrylic coating. For non-defected coating the impedance modulus has not changed during the time of immersion (7 days) in 0.5 M Na2SO4. An inhibition of coating delamination at the defect of the acrylic coating was recorded by means of LEIS. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Source

"Today's political leaders demonstrate their low opinion of the public with every social law they pass. They believe that, if given the right to chose, the citizenry will probably make the wrong choice. Legislators do not think any more in terms of persuading people; they feel the need to force their agenda on the public at the point of a bayonet and the barrel of a gun." ~ Mark Skousen
Privatized Prisons: A Human Marketplace

"Under the fee system local sheriffs charged inmates for their stay in jail. A 1902 report by the Correctional Association of New York harshly criticized this system, warning that judges might be inclined to "sentence a man to jail where he may be a source of revenue to a friendly sheriff." Whenever the fee system was abolished in a New York county, the inmate population dropped — by as much as half."

We aren't doing anything different than we have this whole time but I guess it depends on the outcome of the appointment. I'd like to be pregnant early next year if possible. My Ob is away all of January so not sure when I would start any treatment if that's necessary. I hope the next pregnancy is a little more enjoyable but I do love growing a baby. It will most likely be my last as I don't think we can afford a third.
FTM- will take a look at your page very soon. Sounds good!
Smurfy- not sure about age gap for next baby yet. But would be good if Toby had started pre school which is Feb 2015. Meadow will be 18 months old then, but a gap that small would be really hard I think based on my experiences so far! We'll see!
AFM- I tried formula last night and today but she wouldn't take it!! Wasn't sure if it was the taste of it. Or the bottle. So persevered with expressing and got 50ml which I just tried to give her as a dream feed top up. Nope! Having none of it, just wants boobs! She took EBM from the same bottle while we were overseas and i went out for the evening with a friend. So hope she'll take it again otherwise I am worried I can never leave her! Will try again tomorrow when she is awake and happy. Starting to panic a bit. What if i am sick or some other reason I physically can't BF her but she won't take a bottle? Argghh.

Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. – Peter Drucker
I knew I could control one thing, and that is my time and my hours and my effort and my efficiency. – Ryan Seacrest
Our Three Rules for Educational Success:
Notice that time is the main factor across all three rules. Think about this for a moment: Experience is a very valuable quality needed to perform a task efficiently and effectively, and it is often an essential factor in getting many jobs. What supports experience? It is time.
According to Dr. Donald E. Wetmore from the Productivity Institute, by taking one hour per day for independent study—that's seven hours per week, 365 hours in a year—one can learn at the rate of a full-time student. In 3-5 years, the average person can become an expert in the topic of their choice, by spending only one hour per day. Wow!
Similar to how time influences the efficiency and effectiveness in the number of years of teaching, practicing medicine or law, and piloting, your proficiency in a subject will vary according to the time you allocate to it. Try increasing your study, homework, and review time in any course you find challenging. You already have the brain cells—put them to work! Give them some time.
More Information: Interesting facts and figures
The Value of Good Advice
Education can be achieved through different means, and observing a task is one of them. But most people learn through words. Enter any classroom or library, and you'll see in a flash that words – both written and spoken – knit together everything that is learned there.
When you interact with people – your friends, siblings, parents, and teachers – you use words to convey your thoughts and intentions. Words are an essential part of communicating and learning almost anything.
Words often come in the form of advice. Some of it is good, some not so good, and some advice is just plain bad. Good advice is an essential part of getting a good education. It can help you decide how far to go in school, how hard to study, what subjects to study, and what career is best for you.
The voice of experience is invaluable.
That's the kind of advice you will find in this book. But what about the other advice you're offered – the things your friends and parents and teachers tell you? Let's talk about that for a moment.
Friends can give good advice, but sometimes they give bad advice because they know less than you do and they are shooting in the dark. They give you answers they think and hope are true. There will be other times, though, when people who you think are your friends will give you bad advice on purpose. This happens when they feel bad about themselves and want to see you fail. They think that if they see you miserable, they will feel less miserable themselves.
Main Point: "Could have", "should have," and "would have" are words you never want to end up saying about your education. To be able to say "I have" sounds better and it has worth.
How to Use This Book
Again, welcome to "Get the Most out of School!" Let's begin by talking about how to use this guide. Each lecture is a standalone essay. This means they can be read in any sequence, but you will probably find them most useful if you read them in the order in which they appear.
When you get to the Student's Success Roadmap, which is the main part of the guide, you'll find exercises at the end of each step for you to complete. Becoming a successful student – or successful at anything – is a matter of doing, not just of reading or thinking. The exercises provide action steps that will help you integrate into your life what you've read, so that you own the skill and the knowledge you are reading about.
The Roadmap exercises will open doors to a world of opportunities, including the possibility of discovering your own ideal career. Some exercises take longer to complete than others. For the longer ones, you may wish to continue reading in the book at the same time as you work on an exercise. Just don't let jumping forward in the text distract you from finishing the activity!
It is also important to get a blank notebook that you can use as a journal to record your research, insights, and experiences as you work through this guide. Over the next several years, you'll find yourself returning to what you wrote in your journal to remind yourself of what you learned here. Reviewing the material will help you continue preparing for college and for your chosen career. Even in your adult years, the journal will have meaning: you will look back on it and savor the notes that led you on the road to your personal success.
|Lecture 2
What Is Success?
There are many kinds of success, but financial success is often a measure of other kinds of success.
While growing up, you always hear people talk about "success." But what exactly is success?
Being successful means achieving the things you try to do, getting the things you try to get, and becoming what you try to become. Success means setting goals and reaching them. It means wanting something and attaining it.
When someone is described as successful, it means that most of the time they get what they go after. Successful people are generally rewarded with beautiful, comfortable homes; plenty of money; and the respect and admiration of the people who know them (which is usually lots of people).
Some successful people set and achieve goals that don't promise great money or renown because they don't care about those things. An example is Mother Teresa, trying to relieve the suffering of the sick and poor people of Calcutta. Her life was a success although she never accepted payment for what she did. For most of us, though, money is one of the rewards that comes with success.
When I was a teen, I really didn't understand the importance of money. My parents worked very hard to attend to my various needs, including my education. However, as I grew older, I began to develop a keen interest in monitoring my spending and becoming responsible for my money. I was going to do what it took to save money so that I could help my family, others, and myself. Why? Money is an important part of being able to have fun, being able to easily meet everyday needs, and being able to give without sacrifice (though sacrificing is quite good sometimes because it teaches us how to be selfless).
In addition, I realized that I was going to become an adult at some point and that developing the discipline at an early point in my life to save my allowance, to work hard, and to control my wants and my needs would better prepare me for the days ahead when the role of money would become even more important as I began to take on adult responsibilities.
So what allows people to make a lot of money in their lives? Many people are highly paid for what they contribute to society. If you invent or create something that lots of people find useful, they reward you by paying you for your invention. If you choose a profession or vocation that's in demand, such as a medical doctor or an electrician, you can command high wages for your services. If you invest money wisely (in real estate, for instance), that's another opportunity for creating wealth.
And what do wealth-creating opportunities usually have in common? Education beyond high school! An inventor has studied a certain field enough to know how to make new inventions. People working in high-paying jobs have had education or training that qualifies them for the work. Successful investors are good at what they do because they have studied investment markets. Stumbling on luck and wealth by accident is very rare. Most affluent and successful people worked hard for those rewards, and the first part of their efforts was to get a good education.
You may want to become a plumber, architect, doctor, teacher, or fitness expert. The choice is yours, but you need an education to succeed. So learn as much as you can, starting now. And practice being successful by creating and achieving goals for yourself. (More about goal setting later!)

Is College for Everyone?
Is college for everyone? I'll bet my answer is going to surprise you because the pressure is on all kids today to go to college. My answer is no. Not everyone should pursue a college degree. But everyone would be wise to get some kind of education beyond his or her high school diploma – either in college or in one of the vocations (skilled trades).
Not only college grads but also people with training in the trades earn a much higher income than people who stop their education with high school. In many cases, income in the trades compares with what you can earn with a college bachelor's degree. For instance, in some parts of the country, plumbers charge $180 an hour – that's more than many lawyers charge – and the plumbers have so much work they can hardly keep up with it!
Why is this happening? One reason is that there is a shortage of skilled trades people. In recent years, as it became trendy to send one's kids to college, teens who had special talents with their hands, with machinery, or who were gifted in other unique ways were packed off to college without consideration of their talents or their other options.
It's not surprising then, that people who need to hire an electrician or a plumber have to pay ridiculous amounts of money to get the job done because there aren't enough people in the trades to do all the work. This means the plumbers and electricians can pretty much charge any price they like because when the pipe bursts or the wiring fails, folks have no choice but to get it fixed. They have to hire someone!
This is called "the law of supply and demand": if you have too little of something, the price goes up; if you have too much of it, the price goes down. Too few skilled trades people means extra work for trades people and higher pay.
Nurses, for example, are now in very high demand. Travel nurses earn upwards of $100,000 a year (excellent pay!) while getting to travel all over the country. I've mentioned just a few of the many vocations that are aching for young people to enter them, to take the place of all the older people (baby boomers) who are now retiring.
Consider what would happen if all the teens in a nation decide they won't learn the trades that keep a nation functioning, that they all will accept only desk jobs? A nation like that would fall apart because no one would know how to fix or build anything. There'd be no one to keep the country running.
Here's another point to consider when choosing a career and how far you will go in your schooling: in times of a troubled economy, people with practical skills that everyone needs will never be out of work. Society will always require nurses, plumbers, carpenters, and electricians. Even in the Great Depression, people with those skills had work.
So think of college as just one of your options. If you are attracted to a certain trade or career, get as much exposure to it now as you can. Often teens and preteens are welcomed as volunteers in different shops and professions; hanging around in a volunteer capacity can show you what it's like to actually work in that field. You may find it's not as fun as it looks once you see it up close, or you may find that you love it!
I know a woman who was planning to major in psychology so that she could work as a counselor someday. The summer before her college junior year, she got a three-month job as an aide in a mental hospital, a job she thought she would love. To her surprise, she hated it. She discovered she was not cut out to be a counselor or to work with troubled people. Luckily she learned this before taking too many courses toward her degree. When she went back to school in the fall, she changed her major to English and avoided the misfortune of spending two years working toward a degree in psychology that she probably would never have used.
So don't choose your career or your major based on your imaginings of what it would be like to work in that field. Get out there and find out for yourself what it really is like. Discover if you truly like it, and if you do, find out what education is needed to enter that field. These are the days to seriously investigate careers or vocations that interest you. Later in the book, we'll talk about how you can do that.

The Seven Learning Secrets
Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, and all the great minds we read about in history knew about the Seven Learning Secrets: seven important ways to learn and remember things. This chapter will teach you the Seven Learning Secrets so that you can learn things in school more quickly and easily and remember the information for a longer period of time.
he Seven Learning Secrets To understand and remember something you want to learn, do one or more of these seven things:
2. Re-state it in your own words -- Often we think we understand something, but when we try to repeat it, we can't because we didn't understand it completely in the first place. The knowledge hadn't yet gone deeply into our brains. When there's something you need to remember or understand, say it out loud to yourself or write it down, using your own words. If you can't do this on the first try, study the information once more, then try again. When you can re-state the information in simple words that make sense to you, you "own" the information. It will be much harder to forget because it has gone deeply into your memory.
3. Give examples of it -- Creating examples for yourself of things you learn in class makes the information real and meaningful to you. It also makes it easier to remember what you learned. If you can remember the example, you can remember the information it represents. The impact that examples can have is demonstrated daily on TV. An infomercial about a diet program talks not only about the science or process of producing the product, it also introduces before and after pictures of success stories. The obvious intention is to entice potential buyers to take out their credit cards as well as to etch images of the advertisement in the viewers' minds for further consideration.
Likewise, if your teacher provides examples of how to solve quadratic equations, solving a few more problems on your own will prepare you to demonstrate the technique to someone else, and at the same time, cement the experience in your mind, building up your confidence level in that area.
4. Make connections between it and what you already know -- When you connect new information to something you already know, it makes the new information easy to grasp. It's like adding a new piece to a puzzle: the whole picture becomes clearer. When you learn something and it reminds you of something else, pay attention to that. Remember that connection. That will help you to remember the new information.
5. Apply it to a real-life situation -- Applying something new that you learn to a real-life situation is another way to master information. Here is an example: instead of just reading about gravity in class, perform an experiment with your friends. Drop different objects – some heavy, some light – from a balcony. Which ones make it to the ground first? Or do they all arrive at the same time? You remember what you learn from real-life situations much longer than something you only read in a book.
6. Teach it -- One of the best ways to master knowledge is to teach what you're learning to someone else. For this reason, one very good study method is to explain concepts from class to a friend and let the friend explain concepts to you. When you get stuck, just review the information again until you can explain it to each other without stumbling. Another thing you can do is try to teach something you learned in school to a younger brother or sister.
7. Talk about it -- Studies show that young people hold onto information longer and understand it better when they talk about it with their friends. Chatting with your friends and family about what you learn helps your brain process and retain the information.
|Lecture 6
Build a Knowledge Base (Full Transcript)
Every morning, you go to school and to class. All day long, you're exposed to new material as your teachers work through their lesson plans for each subject. Why is it important for teachers to deliver so much information, and how can it really help you?
The best answer is one word: accumulation. That means the gradual collection of something. Through education, you accumulate knowledge. Education builds a knowledge base in your brain.
Your brain stores information and makes it available to you when you need it, much like a computer database provides you with information when you ask for it. The mind is actually a biological computer, the most sophisticated computer in the world.
In an earlier section, we talked about what it means to be smart. Students who learn as much as they can in class naturally increase their smartness levels. They grow up to become smart adults, and smart adults have successful lives.
So work on building your knowledge base. Every day, learn everything you can. A lot of learning is just a matter of where you put your attention. Instead of daydreaming in class or while you're reading that textbook, really focus on what you are hearing or reading. This will make the information go into your brain. Unless you pay attention to the information in front of you, it will float on past you like a cloud, leaving you no richer or wiser.
The knowledge base you build in your brain is not just a collection of information. It's a resource. The more you add to it, the better it will serve you. Answering questions on homework and exams gets easier when you've paid attention, memorized, and stored the information in your brain.
The more you know, the better able you are to make decisions, come up with good answers, and invent new solutions. Collecting knowledge is part of growing smart, and everyone who makes up his or her mind to do it can do it.
Whether you want to become an astronaut, an artist, or an airline attendant, your ability to reach your goal depends on how much knowledge you have. Develop an appetite for learning. The growing of your knowledge base is good for your mind and spirit, not to mention your fortune and your future.

Practice Makes You Proficient (Full Transcript)
I am sure you have heard the phrase, "Practice makes perfect." Well, that's not totally true because it's not always possible to be perfect. I prefer to say, "Practice makes proficient." In other words, practice makes us good or skilled at something.
Practice is a key component in remembering things. We usually need to expose our brain to information a number of times, over and over again, to get that information to stick and become a part of our knowledge base.
This is where IQ does make a slight difference. Some students are able to remember something with only a little repetition, while other students must expose their brain to the information a few more times to master it. But this doesn't make one student bad and another one good: it only means most students have to work a little bit harder – practice a little bit more – than the few who seem to remember things almost automatically.
There's a big difference between drawing a line in sand and etching a line in stone. When you draw a line in sand, it stays there a short while; then the wind and water wash it away. That is like exposing your brain to information only once: it doesn't usually stick, or if it does, it doesn't stick for long. Exposing your brain repeatedly to the same information is like carving a line in stone. This kind of line is hard to erase!
That's why good students use repetition to strengthen the connection between their brain's neurons and to improve their knowledge level. So maximize your learning potential using a proven technique: practice and practice again. Memorize and memorize again. Study it and study it again. Write it down and write it down again. Once you've done this enough, the information will be retrievable when you ask for it. Then it's yours to keep.
And here's another tip: when you think you have it memorized, hide the answer and ask yourself the question. Are you able to give the answer quickly and correctly? Or do you need to peek again to remember? Keep asking yourself for the answer when you are working on memorizing something. When you're able to give the answer easily without peeking, that means your brain's holding onto it. Ask yourself the question again later that day or the next day, to make sure you haven't forgotten what you memorized. Continue doing that until the test, and the answers will be there for you when you need them!

A successful and respected business owner is a good leader who understands how to manage projects, knows the art of setting goals and working toward their completion, understands that money should be managed and not lavished, thinks outside the box (creatively), and appreciates and values people. This means you should start developing a reputation for being a good listener, a student who completes homework and projects correctly, and who respects teachers and fellow students.
It's a mistake to think of business as something that's removed from having good relationships with people. Whatever you decide to build or produce, your customers are the people who end up buying what you offer. If they don't like you, they probably won't want to do business with you.
If this field interests you, check out the following books. Don't become too occupied with starting a business now because your schoolwork could suffer as a successful business can require a lot of time. If you have a business club at your school, join up! Start thinking and acting like a creative entrepreneur.

Overview: You may want to design buildings, build them, or maintain them. Many universities offer degrees in building and construction or building construction technology. Your interest in buildings could lead you to become any one of these:
• Architect
• Supervisor
• Contractor
• Construction Technician
• Construction Superintendent
A degree in construction could entail taking courses in concrete construction, framing principles, roof framing, architectural drafting, and construction material and site preparation.
Architects, for example, design houses, office buildings, skyscrapers, and even entire cities. So how does one become an architect? A university degree in architecture, proficiency in math, about two to three years of work experience, and a registration or license examination are required.
Here's one thing to keep in mind: a study showed that in 2011, the unemployment rate of architects was the highest in the nation. That's the kind of red flag you should take seriously. When selecting a career, it's important to investigate whether the field is overcrowded, whether it is in need of more people, or if it is somewhere in between. Your interests and talents should be a major factor in your career choice, but so should the practicalities of the current and projected job market. What good is a degree in something you like if there are no jobs?
Degree Required: Yes (especially for architects and engineers)
Action Step:

My sister-in-law is a nursing practitioner. To achieve this title, she first needed to get her registered nurse (RN) certification. An RN is a person who graduated from studies at a university or college and afterwards passed a national licensing exam. These professionals work in hospitals, schools, private homes, camps, and offices, all with the goal of maintaining health and preventing disease for families and other groups.
You already know what a doctor and dentist do, so let me tell you about other healthcare career options. Remember that it takes eleven to twelve years after high school graduation to become a doctor, seven to eight years to become a dentist, and two to four years to become a registered nurse. Of all the professionals in the medical field, nursing makes up the largest percentage, and there is a great and growing need for nurses today. The trend is expected to continue for decades.
Generally, clinical laboratory professionals perform a very important support role to the medical field, particularly to physicians. They match blood for blood transfusions, and they use microscopes and other high-tech laboratory equipment to perform cell counts. They test blood for drug levels, determine how patients are responding to treatment, and they analyze body fluids and cells for parasites, bacteria, and other microscopic organisms.
A career in the healthcare field does not have to involve direct, physical contact with patients, although that may be what you prefer. It could take the form of a career in a lab, working behind the scenes to help maintain a healthy society.
Degree or Certification Required: Yes

Overview: If you dislike seeing people mistreated, whether they are friends, family, or even strangers, and you feel a passion to defend them because it is the right thing to do, then a career in law may be for you. So, what are your options? You could study for a degree in criminology for expert knowledge in a science that teaches you how to discover the who, what, where, when, and why of a crime. You might study cyber security to protect networks, personal information, and highly classified data from cyber attackers. A private investigator or private detective degree would train you how to investigate computer crimes such as identity theft, harassing emails, and illegal downloading of copyrighted material. You might like to become a paralegal, which is a legal assistant to a lawyer. Or you may decide to become a lawyer yourself.

Overview: I am not a pilot, but I am very interested in the science of how the forces of thrust, lift, drag, and weight enable a plane to take to the air and speed through it. I am not a mechanic, but I have a keen interest in how air enters the engine, mixes with fuel in an injection system, and then with the help of cylinders, pistons, and spark plugs, the car takes us to our desired destination.
I am also fascinated with how fuel, air, and sparks come together to start a lawnmower. My limited knowledge of engines is that of a hobbyist. There is actually very advanced science behind all those engines, and advanced science requires advanced studies.
What this means is that if you want to design and work on engines, you have to pay attention to your schoolwork, especially your math and other science courses. You might become an automotive engineer who specializes in designing and producing automobiles. You may like electrical engineering because you would study the science of electricity to design electrical equipment and systems. A degree in aerospace engineering would prepare you to design, test, and help produce airplanes, helicopters, missiles, and spacecraft.

Overview: You probably love playing with your Nintendo or Game Boy. If you love games enough to maybe make a career of them, this section is for you.
Most mainstream electronic games use some form of electronic engineering and programming. But if you wish to design games for mobile devices such the iPhone, iPad, and Droid, or games that run on a Mac or PC, you may want to pursue a career in world design, creating back stories, settings, and themes for games. System design is for people who use their mathematical skills to design a rules engine. Or you might work in user-interface design with the talented people who design the look and feel of the screens and create ways for users to interact with game applications.
On the other hand, if you are technically oriented, you might become a technical writer. In this case, choosing a career in game writing would allow you to use your imagination to come up with the story, text, and dialogue for games. A career in content design would give you the flexibility of creating graphic content and text and layouts on a screen.
You would also learn about leisure recreation, fitness and wellness, emergency medicine, sports science, sports entertainment, and some legal aspects of sports. A degree in sports announcing and broadcasting might appeal to you if you wish to gain the skills to speak, interview, write, and research like the pros in the media. You would also be taught how to operate audio and visual broadcasting equipment.
Degree Required: Yes

Overview: Do people tell you you're good at explaining complex things simply? Do you love working with children or teens? Do you like coaching or mentoring people one-on-one? If so, a career in teaching may be the place for you.
There are a great many ways a person can teach other than being a schoolteacher in grade school, high school, or college. There are motivational speakers, for instance, who travel around the country and the world inspiring people with their wisdom and knowledge through lectures. Highly trained professionals in a wide variety of fields provide the certification programs and skills training necessary for beginners to become masters in their particular area of expertise. This may involve giving individual, hands-on training such as coaching apprentice carpenters or apprentice electricians.
If you want to teach in an academic field, like a traditional school classroom, you'll need to pursue the appropriate teaching certifications in college, often along with a major in something other than education. A high school English teacher, for example, has a degree in English, a minor in education, and a teacher's certificate. Majoring in education allows you to teach elementary school and preschool, but in order to teach the higher grades, you must major in the subject you wish to teach and minor in education.
The exception is if you wish to teach college. In that case, you would specialize in the subject you want to teach and would not be required to take education (teaching) courses. For most college teaching positions (called professorships), a PhD is required, but sometimes a master's degree will get you in the door.
If you want to teach a non-academic subject, such as how to be an electrician, you need to become a master in that vocation yourself before you attempt to teach others, and certifications are also required.
Degree Required: Depends on the position, but actual teaching usually requires a degree.
Action Step: Visit these three sites:

|Section 3: Preparing for Graduation and the World
|Lecture 19
To Learn from Experience or to Learn from Others?
You are not too young to start to construct your life. Draft the experiences of others into your blueprint for success.
When I was in high school, I heard people talk about "learning from my mistakes." While it is possible and even wise to learn from the mistakes we make, I never really liked the idea.
A scientist once told me, "All mistakes are avoidable. That's why they're called mistakes." It's much nicer to catch yourself before you make a mistake than to make one and have to learn from it.
Mistakes are usually costly events, both emotionally and financially. Some people never recover from certain mistakes. So rather than focusing on learning from your mistakes, a better approach would be focusing on learning from the experiences of others.
Information in books is meant to help readers reduce the number of mistakes they make. A book represents the knowledge and experience of someone who has travelled a certain road before you. By reading and thinking about what happened to them, you gain wisdom. This is much pleasanter than repeating their mistakes in your own life and living through the consequences personally.
This, then, is another reason to develop an appetite for reading, asking questions, and researching. Let books become your friends, and let Internet information searches become a habit because there isn't anything blissful about ignorance or taking the wrong direction.
Avoid making mistakes by learning from other people's experiences. Doing this will help you avoid many detours in your life and will put you on the direct path to success.
|Lecture 20
Terms of Engagement
The Student's Declaration of Importance and Terms of Engagement
• While others may seek to put me down with their body language or words, I will not fall prey to their malice. I will always regard myself with respect, because I was made who I am for a purpose.
• Whenever I am criticized, I will consider the remark with objectivity. I then will either ignore it if the criticism is unfair or act on it if it has merit. When I am wrong, I will straighten my wheels and move forward on my road to success.
• I was created for a purpose, and I have an important role to fill in life. I will strive to learn what that is and to fulfill it. On my road to success, I will maintain respect for myself, my family, my teachers, my friends, those less fortunate, and rightful authority.
• I will work to uncover my special gifts and talents on the road to finding and fulfilling my life's purpose. I will work to become an expert in the career or vocation I choose. I will not give up because of the hard work required. I understand that success is composed partly of talent but mostly of focused effort.
Let this declaration offer support and affirmation of your personal validity. Remember that others, far or near, have the same rights and seek the same privileges that you do. Make sure that what you do for your own success and happiness does not hamper the progress and happiness of any other person.
|Lecture 21
Staying Motivated
In this book, you've gained many tools to help you proceed quickly along the path of success. Hopefully, things you've read here have inspired you. You've applied them and grown from the effort. You are well on the way to developing new, good habits and to achieving your goals.
A habit is something you naturally do, but it's also a behavior you have learned. Inspiration drives you to start toward a goal, but habits are the wheels that carry you over the finish line. Inspiration is like the engine. When you generate enough power, the new, good habits roll along by themselves. But if the power of inspiration starts to fade, the good habits can start to lose momentum.
That's why it's important to keep yourself positive, happy, and excited about your goals and your plan for success. Up until now, you've received motivation from a variety of sources: this book, your success with techniques you've learned here, encouragement from adults who care about you, outside material you've read and researched, and (hopefully) support from good friends.
But there is more you can do. Plan in those little rewards for yourself for when you reach your goal, or for when you reach a milestone along the way. Studies show that giving yourself a deserved reward is very effective in helping you continue on toward your goal.
There is something else you can do: make a point of hanging out with other good students. Are your friends good students or are they poor ones? Do you hang with a crowd that takes school seriously or with kids who don't?
If you're in the second category, it's important to think about switching tribes. After all, how much harder is it going to be to put in the effort to study and learn if your friends all think school is a waste of time? With that kind of influence around you, how long will your resolve last?
I know it can be hard to make friends with a different group once you've gotten a reputation for being a certain kind of student. But people can and do change. Everyone knows that. If your classmates who are serious students see you suddenly making an effort in class, asking questions, and starting to earn better grades, they are going to start looking at you differently.
Observe the way the serious students dress versus the kids who make light of school, and start dressing like the group you'd like to be part of. That, too, will send a message to the good students that you are coming over to their side. Once you prove yourself serious, expect to be treated in a friendlier way. It will take time to win them over, and you'll be on your own for a while. You will have to prove yourself. But if you really do make up your mind to make education a priority, you will find others like you who appreciate your efforts and want to be your friend.
Friends help each other to do better. Having friends your own age who support your efforts to be a success will motivate you on your path. So make a real point of earning your place in the kind of peer group that lends strength to your goals. Avoid the draining influence of peers who don't appreciate what you're trying to do.
Getting a good education is hard enough without having so-called friends trying to pull you down. Surround yourself with people who represent the kind of person you want to be. Then you will become your own best version of yourself.

About the author
Wyne Ince is an ardent advocate of the belief that, with proper guidance and encouragement, every student can excel. He has a particular interest in the educational advancement of young people based on his first-hand teaching experience at the City University of New York (CUNY). As an information technology professional—including his work as an iPhone/iPad programmer—he has created many applications designed to reinforce the fundamentals of education. Ince is founder of the iUseMyBrain2 Project, an initiative of TheMotivators, Inc., a private entity that seeks to develop learning tools, such as this guide, to coach and motivate students.
Ince holds a bachelor's degree in computer science from CUNY and a master's in telecommunication and information management from Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU).
However, the steps to earning those degrees were not a smooth, direct journey at all. Family poverty during some of his elementary school years meant he had to attend school without sufficient supplies, overcoming the taunts and bullying of his classmates. He was unable to attend high school at all for family-related reasons. He became determined to escape the paycheck-to-paycheck living that characterized his family, wanted to become the first member of his family to earn a substantial income, not a meager one. He realized that education was his only hope, and he pursued it successfully.
It is out of an abundance of concern about children's education that he has put this course together. It distresses him to see children idling and wasting their time and mental capabilities. As only one example, because of his deep interest in educating others, while he was still a college student himself, Wyne developed a computer application, The Ultimate Teaching Tool, to help other college students orient themselves to first-year college computer courses.
We are very excited about your education. Why? You see, most children really do have the inborn capability to learn just about anything! However, many simply don't realize it. They attend school automatically, study just enough to get by, and go through their school years aimlessly, never seriously considering graduation or something called a career. However, graduation does arrive and they are quickly faced with adult responsibilities. Nonetheless, there's no reason for despair. We at the iUseMyBrain2 Project ("I use my brain, too") have developed a solution, an hour jam-packed with the type and quality of information designed to open a young mind to hope and purpose. Yes, often what's missing is not the capability, but the insight and knowledge of key preparatory information.
Think about this question for a moment: Ordinarily, what enables one person to make the right decision without guessing, to take the right path, and to avoid danger, while someone else, faced with the same situation, will do exactly the opposite, and fail? The answer is knowledge; it's having the correct information and using it. This course is designed to share accurate and eye-opening information with any student from the age of 12 through junior year in college. Further, it is the type of information that parents and guardians would love to give their child. But they may not have the time or the knowhow to do so completely, using a method that can be effective anytime.
Thank you!
Wyne Ince, Founder
