Clean water?
Water - a key factor for survival. After finding themselves in an autonomous existence, one on one with wild nature, a person loses a lot of fluids and salts, as is constantly moving and is under the influence of heat and sun. But even in the cold, dark places where it would seem there are no water losses, we are still at risk for dehydration (due to an active physical activity), unless we find a water source.
And the source of water - does not mean a source of clean, drinkable water. Even in the flow, and at first glance, the crystal clear stream, the water can carry a threat in the form of various parasites, bacteria, etc. What can we say about the water from stagnant ponds and puddles ... effects from drinking from these sources can be fatal to humans. Upon infection, some infections, it surely overthrow the man with diarrhea, take away a lot of forces needed to fight for survival, once again - will lead to further dehydration. You can pick up from the water and a more serious infection that could kill a person much faster. So to the question of the choice of water sources should be approached with extreme caution, no matter what people did not feel thirsty. After an intermediate task "to drink" may get in the way of the global problem of "surviving".
Where does the infection in the water, even running and looking clean? Pathogenic bacteria are commonly actively multiply in the rotting remains of plants and animals. Enough to some animal to die and be in the water or near water, as the entire flow downstream becomes potentially dangerous for germs. And when you go to a river or stream, it is unknown what was in the upper reaches. According to this, drinking water unscripted - is a lottery. With regard to standing water is even more relevant.
As the threat can carry some of the mountain rivers and streams. Going through the different types of rocks, they erode and carry them with you. The water may be poisonous admixture of salt, oil and radioactive elements. So drink from any unknown body of water - a risk. But the drink, yet - must, therefore, have to reduce the risks.
For greater security should not drink water directly from the reservoir. Better to dig near a small hole on the bank, wait until it will be typed and its water is already on to boil, or just to drink. The fact that so the water filtered through sand and soil. For the same reason, much safer to drink water, the filtered in the soil. This water flows over the roots of trees on stalagmites in the caves in the springs, which rises from the ground.
Signs of water purity. If the water flow, and the kind of clear and clean - that's good. No smell - also a good sign, so no obvious toxic water impurities can not be held. You can try the language of a small amount of water. If there are no strange tastes and language does not bake - for sure the water is clear with regard to chemical composition. Indication that water is suitable for consumption - the presence in the pond crawfish, shrimp, small fish.
Guarantee that the water is not dangerous bacteria, nobody will give you until the water is appropriately treated and decontaminated. To ensure that the water should be filtered, boiled or treated with a special oxidizing agents, etc. For more details on how to disinfection and water treatment, we touch on in a separate article.

Pegasystems has been accommodating with the all-around cyberbanking association at Sibos for over 35 years (since 1983). The cyberbanking industry's arch accumulated cyberbanking accident goes 'down under' this year. But, I admiration how abundant Sibos in Australia could be an opportunity to about-face the agitation upside bottomward and booty a radically altered angle on how banking institutions apparatus applicant onboarding and apperceive your chump processes?
AI and robotics are adorable but it's the zero-code/low-code movement that's afraid up how banks ensure chump onboarding and Apperceive Your Chump (KYC), as able-bodied as advance RegTech. It is revolutionising how banks future-proof KYC globally, while driving chump centricity. New technology to automate and undertake added predictive analytics are crucial, of course. But, they're alone anytime activity to be advantageous aback controlled and managed aural a accurate end-to-end action that's calmly adjustable to change.
The better all-around banks accept spent the aftermost 20 years implementing siloed solutions and rapidly responding to new authoritative mandates beyond the globe. The fines are unprecedented. Circuitous KYC rules are active added onboarding time. The advanced office and corporates abridgement afterimage into the process. Technology doesn't scale. Again there is the actualization of RegTech solutions, including start-ups aggravating to break these problems for the better all-around banks, who are beneath the best authoritative pressure. What's more, this action isn't pausing for banks abnormally as they drive adverse and digitisation to drive multi-jurisdictional, multi-product onboarding of circuitous barter – ample corporates through to contributor banks.
The ambition charcoal the same: be absolutely adjustable with the regulations while simplifying the chump acquaintance and break competitive.
To ability this goal, banks accept accumulated hundreds of bespoke technologies to accommodated bags of KYC rules aural country, band of business and chump type. However, this is artlessly not enough. There is no let up on authoritative changes that charge be absorbed into a bank's operations. Even with today's technology and years of adapting to new rules and laws, it takes best institutions today added than 12 months to accomplish authoritative changes. So, how can they do this added rapidly aural the technology, while minimizing the appulse on costs and the customer?
Indeed, it is the technology banks acquire today that is the better claiming aback implementing new applicant onboarding processes. Best convenance is to drive a 'wrap and renew' access with avant-garde technologies. This agency the solutions of today charge to be able to rapidly accommodate with hundreds of bequest systems, while authoritative faculty of the data. The burden for adopting new industry best practices cannot advance to creating a new band of adamantine coded bespoke applications that become themselves difficult to adapt and alter and are no best future-proof. The abridgement of future-proofed solutions increases costs and risks for the banks. This is active the better banking institutions to attending at able-bodied solutions that are advised for the agenda transformation of the client lifecycle and KYC. The key belief are they charge be: global, out of the box and with zero-code/low-code from advanced to aback office.
What's the industry's adapted scenario?
In a nutshell, it's active accelerated commitment of authoritative acquiescence and bigger chump acquaintance application business accoutrement and technology that acquiesce the business and acquiescence to drive outcomes and change faster. The canicule of IT blockage advanced of business requirements through adamantine coded applications to break circuitous problems that amount channels, countries and curve of business are over. Speed of change is key.
Proven applicant lifecycle management, KYC and RegTech and the actualization of new solutions-need to be advised to scale, future-proof and rapidly adapt-with zero-code/low-code. The better banks are affective appear IT simplification, amount abridgement and focussing on accelerated change. The canicule of millions of dollars to change rules and action as business abide to digitize are over.
Zero-code/low-code out-of-the-box applicant onboarding and KYC solutions are allotment of accelerated agenda transformation. The banks can now own accelerated business outcomes in account vs. years. They can break advanced of change faster than anytime and acclimate to the fast pace of authoritative change.
AI and Robotics
AI and robotics are the latest boiler in RegTech and applicant onboarding technology. However, it is important to put these technologies into angle aback activated to onboarding and KYC. Whilst there are massive rewards to AI and robotics, there are risks after ascendancy and transparency. These risks access for ample all-around banks, with millions and billions of abstracts points, hundreds of bequest systems and operating in 40-100 countries.
AI allows banks to apprentice and acclimate to risks but this requires controls aback unleashed beyond hundreds of bequest systems, millions and billions of abstracts points, and silos. Action and ascendancy aural the technology charge to be inherent, to ensure systems and abstracts are not adapting and acquirements chancy behaviour.
Robotics is about automating abecedarian tasks like artful and pasting addresses, affairs abstracts from third affair abstracts providers. Massively time extenuative but it comes with no intelligence. Robotics can advice with accelerated remediation, KYC abstracts acquisition and input, and applicant abstracts ascribe but alone aural a absolutely controlled, cellophane case structure.
Hot technologies like AI and Robotics are allowance drive transformation, learnings and efficiencies but their amount to KYC and onboarding action improvements comes with caveats and limitations. Ascendancy and accuracy are analytical to active benefits. Robotics and AI charge be inherent in the ascendancy anatomy aural applicant lifecycle administration and KYC technology to abate and administer risk, with abounding transparency.
Is there a argent bullet?
This is area zero-code/low-code can appear advanced as the apparatus banks charge to drive faster addition after added costs. This is software that builds itself, giving managers of chump onboarding and KYC functions the beheld accoutrement to configure unique nuances application business metaphors (i.e. aphorism forms in apparent English) vs. 'custom code', that automatically accomplish the cipher and the user experience. The aforementioned zero-code/low-code accoutrement abutment IT too. Beheld models can architecture and artist applications as well as administer integrations. Zero-code/low-code RegTech allows the altered business, IT and acquiescence teams to coact and analysis new and avant-garde ideas, the coffer can rapidly appraise what acute outcomes could and will be. This accord is what unlocks how the coffer can go from months to account to acclimate to new authoritative requirements or arising risks.
If we can use absolutely unified and calmly attainable technology to advice banks accommodated circuitous KYC authoritative requirements, this provides a all-around applicant acquaintance and drives agenda transformation of applicant onboarding for the world's best circuitous banks. The combination of automated backbone applicant onboarding, KYC, RegTech solutions, AI and robotics can advice drive accelerated business results. Zero-code/low-code technology for this blazon of end-to-end transformation has started to revolutionise the way all-around banks are driving accelerated after-effects out of the box.
We are already seeing audience who are adopting low-code/zero-code solutions to abutment advanced to aback appointment applicant onboarding, KYC transformation through to offboarding. The abstraction that you can bear after-effects through agreement alone in a zero-code/low-code ambiance in a few months and adapt KYC rules in account due to the banks different risks and re-rendering the UI/UX is revolutionising. These banks can cycle out new functionality and digitize their end-to-end applicant lifecycle administration and KYC globally in three months and again cycle out – in assembly – in two anniversary increments beyond chump segments.

Response to: Imagine a PHRF System that is Fair
Last October Nick Hayes published a column, Imagine a PHRF System that is Fair, on the Sailing Magazine website. As an infrequent reader of Sailing Magazine I stumbled upon the column sometime after it was published and made a comment referencing the articles I have on this website. After posting I checked back for comments a couple of times, found none, and the column fell off my radar. Until the other day when I noticed one of my articles had an unusually large number of hits. Sure enough, there had been a few comments. Let me respond to them here.
Nick was the first to comment. He wrote, "I read your recommendations as a call for more information on more dimensions and continuous collection (review.)" If handicaps were based on a skipper/boat dimension that is based on actual performance, then less information is needed. The key information is the boat's performance relative to other boat's in the race. Each boat in the race has a handicap that is independent of the ratings of other boats but is dependent on how each boat in the race performs. Because each boat/skipper combination is unique, how the boat is equipped or not simply doesnot matter. What matters is how well the skipper sails the boat he has. If a skipper sails his boat as well or better than usual, the boat will finish higher in the fleet. Conversely, if the sails poorer than usual, the boat will finish lower in the fleet. That is the beauty of an individual handicap, the race becomes a matter of how well you sail the boat you have and not how deep your pockets are or how much time is spent in the yard long boarding the bottom.
Five Years Already?
Sometimes it is hard to believe that its been five years since we first saw Second Star on the hard in Buffalo. Susan and I had been talking about a larger boat for a few years with plans to sail out the St. Lawrence and down the east coast to winter in the Bahamas. Shortly after buying her I started a version of this website to chronicle our adventure and share what we learn about boats, traveling, and ourselves. We had a good start out of the box, but then the website began to languish. As it will do, life got in the way of life.
To answer the big question, yes we still plan to take our trip, we are just uncertain about when. About the time we purchased Second Star, our aging parents required more support. Both of us are from small families thus we needed and still need to care for them. This is one limit to our departure window. The other is our own health and age, we aren't getting younger.
There Ought to be a Law
This project, like so many others, just didn't go as planned.
A surveyor had pointed out the need to replace a failing exhaust hose on Second Star, the 1993 Sabre 362 I'd just bought. Complying with that recommendation had consumed my day. At first the work progressed as I'd hoped, both ends of the hose were easily accessible and within a few minutes I'd disconnected the hose and clipped the wire ties securing it. But then the battle began, with me losing at several attempts to remove the hose.
Deal On!
"Hey, Dave, I finished Whisper's survey yesterday. Did you notice the rudder?" Well, of course I noticed the rudder. I won't claim to have a surveyor's eye, but I know enough to make sure the rudder turns smoothly and the bearings are tight.
"Yes, Shawn, I checked the bearings, looked fine to me."
"Did you notice the crack on the trailing edge?"
"Say what????"
"The broker didn't notice it either."
September. A month possessed of an uncertain identity. Today a reminder of summer, tomorrow hints of winter chill and damp are ushered on its shoulders. The whims of September make planning a challenge. With a warm southerly wind on a September Saturday, sailing is the order of the day. With a winter chill thoughts turn to staying warm and sailing southern waters. It was fitting that I headed to Buffalo, on a gray drizzly day.

Minnesota Vikings Nfl Game Live are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Panthers compete in the National Football League,
Based on the team's first unofficial depth chart for 2019 which was released yesterday, the order may go like this: Cam Newton, Kyle Allen, Will Grier and Taylor Heinicke.
Sign up for the Panthers Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning
When asked why he wouldn't play Newton in the first of Carolina's four preseason games, Rivera said: "Just to be careful. I mean this game — there's not really much to this one. And there are a lot of things we want to see from the young guys. By doing that, we give Kyle an opportunity right off the bat."
Minnesota Vikings Nfl Game Live Stream Free Signup
Newton's play during the preseason will be "limited," Rivera said. This, the coach added, will also allow the team to decide on the No. 2 quarterback. Allen is listed above rookie Will Grier, a third-round pick, for now on Carolina's depth chart for the backup role to Newton.
Panthers Ron Rivera and staff being cautious with Luke Kuechly
Minnesota Vikings head coach Ron Rivera says that the team is being cautious with linebacker Luke Kuechly after he came up slow from a pile up during practice on Wednesday, July 31, 2019 at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC.
Kuechly said he was hit in the side last week, confirming he was not in the concussion protocol. He jokingly expressed frustration that he has been in "timeout" during live drills at recent practices due to what Rivera has termed "an abundance of caution."
Newton hasn't played a down since a loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 17 of last season (Week 15) in a performance that saw him go 16 of 29 passing for only 131 yards and an interception while being sacked four times. In January, the team announced he had undergone arthroscopic shoulder surgery — less than two years after he had surgery for a partially torn rotator cuff in the same throwing shoulder.
One of the biggest concerns about Newton's abilities once he's healthy is the reliability of arm strength to stretch the field on deep passing routes — historically, one of his major assets.
He has shown through 11 days of training camp that he can still sling the ball deep, but doing so in practice versus doing so against a live rush could have different outcomes. NFL fans will have to wait at least another week, when the the Bills come to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Aug. 16, to see Newton in action.
Newton played in the first three preseason games last year and threw the ball nine times in the 2018 exhibition opener at Buffalo.Rookie running back Jordan Scarlett, who has missed practice since Friday's Fan Fest in Charlotte, is also out for the Bears game.
Rivera described Scarlett as having a lower-back injury. A fifth-round pick out of Florida, Scarlett is contending to be Christian McCaffrey's backup.
▪ McCaffrey got a veteran day off Tuesday, Ironically, McCaffrey's father, Ed, who played 12 NFL seasons as a wide receiver, was in Spartanburg doing some radio work.▪ A big practice Tuesday for tight end Ian Thomas, including a leaping catch in the back of the end zone.
▪ Defensive ends Efe Obada and Marquis Haynes, who each were excused Monday for personal reasons, were back at practice Tuesday.▪ Defensive back Corn Elder picked off Newton in a goal-line drill. That was the second time in as many practices Newton was intercepted in that drill.

Top Line Farm Bill Features
Overall, reaction to the 2018 farm bill (Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018) is positive. While there are many tweaks to farm safety nets, most programs are not radically different from those producers have known for the past four years.
Many details are yet to come as USDA writes regulations, sets deadlines, etc., but a few that have been written into the law will interest many farmers, including:
Loan rates raised
- For the first time since the 2002 farm bill, loan rates for marketing assistance loans (MAL) and loan deficiency payments (LDP) are for most commodities. There was no change to the $10.09/cwt. rate for minor oilseeds such as sunflower, canola or safflower.
- MAL and LDP payments will not count toward the $125,000 payment limit that applies to ARC and PLC payments.
|Current loan rate
|2019-2023 loan rate
|Percentage increase (rounded)
|Grain sorghum
Agricultural Risk Coverage/ Price Loss Coverage
Economists say that current price expectations favor PLC over ARC, especially for corn; the soybean choice is slightly less clear. This is the opposite of the 2014 bill, when 97 percent of corn growers and 94 percent of soybean growers chose ARC. On the other hand, economists say, odds of a payout with either are fairly low at this time.
- Agriculture risk coverage-county (ARC) and price loss coverage (PLC) are not a one-time decision under this bill. Producers will choose between them for 2019 and 2020 and then, beginning with 2021, the choice will be made annually. As was the case under 2014, the default option is PLC. ARC-Individual ends with 2018.
- USDA will announce payment rates for each county within 30 days of the end of the marketing year.
- Payment limits: Individual payment limits remain unchanged at $125,000 for an individual or $250,000 married; the adjusted gross income cap remains at $900,000.
- The definition of family now extends to nieces, nephews and first cousins.
- Base acres: This law prevents payments on any base acres if all the cropland on the FSA farm was planted to grass or pasture during 2009 to 2017, although the base acres remain on record and will count toward base for future legislation. These base acres will be eligible for the CSP grasslands program and qualify for a payment of $18/acre.
- Producers have a one-time chance to update their program yields for PLC, effective with the 2020 crop year.The two-step formula is somewhat complicated, but the provision is designed to let producers who had lower yields in 2008 to 2013 adjust based on yields in 2013 to 2017.
- Effective reference prices (ERP) used for PLC payments now will rise if market prices improve, with a limit of 15 percent. The statutory/base price remains unchanged:
Statutory reference price
|Maximum (115%)
effective reference
|Grain sorghum
- Separate irrigated and dryland ARC-CO guarantees and payments will be calculated in every county.
- The plug yield used in the Olympic average calculation for ARC-CO rises to 80 percent, from 70 percent, of the transitional yield to replace the producer's yield in any year it is lower than the plug.
- ARC-CO payments will be based on the physical location of the farm, not the administrative county.
Crop Insurance
Most provisions in the crop insurance title were unchanged. Tweaks include:
- Enterprise units are allowed across county lines.
- The law gives RMA the authority – but does not require – expanding availability of limited irrigation crop insurance.
- Changes in cover crop details may increase their use in some areas, Kansas State University economists say. The bill defines "cover crop termination" as "a practice that historically and under reasonable circumstances results in termination." It also provides that cover crop practices are to be considered "good farming practice" if terminated according to USDA guidelines or an agricultural expert and that termination should not impact the insurability of the insurance crop.
Dairy Insurance
- The dairy margin protection program (MPP) was renamed dairy margin coverage (DMC). Building on the improvements made last February:
- The top margin coverage available on the first 5 million pounds of production (about 240 cows) increases from $8cwt. to $9.50/cwt.
- Annual premiums on both the first 5 million pounds of production and Tier II (above 5 million pounds; coverage levels $4-$8/cwt.) are greatly reduced.
- Coverage cannot exceed 95 percent of production history.
- Producers who lock in DMC for five years qualify for a 25 percent discount on premiums.
- Those who were enrolled in MPP could get 75 percent of their premium refunded to use toward buying DMC coverage; they could get half the MPP premiums refunded in cash if they don't want to enter the new program.
- The conservation reserve program (CRP), currently capped at 24 million acres, will increase to 27 million by 2023. However, rental rates will be reduced to 85 percent of the county rental rate for general sign-ups and 90 percent of the county average for continuous enrollment.
- The conservation stewardship program (CSP) will be phased out as a stand-alone acre-based program, with existing five-year contracts continuing and those expiring before the end of 2019 being allowed a one-year extension. Going forward the CSP will be administered via a specific funding level each fiscal year, similar to the environmental quality incentives program (EQIP).
- Livestock producer groups lobbied hard and succeeded in getting provision for a federal vaccination bank that prioritizes foot and mouth disease.
- Hemp becomes a legal agricultural crop – and will qualify for crop insurance. Industrial hemp is cannabis that has no more than 0.3 percent of the psychoactive compound THC in any part of it. Under the 2014 farm bill, which allowed it to be grown in a narrow range of cases, producers grew 25,713 acres of hemp in 19 states in 2017.
Producers will need to understand state law because the farm bill stops states from interfering with interstate commerce but does allow them to set more restrictive regulations regarding its production and use, including banning hemp growing.

The article below includes excepts from a series of interviews with the donor families and the recipients of organ transplants citing dramatic behavior and personality changes after the surgery. I thought it would be fitting to post a link to this article after the Reiki Healing Experiment to heal one's own 8 original cells of harmful energies from one's birth parents.
This article has blunt talk about sexual behavior so please do not read if you find such offensive.

Men love to fuck her brains out cause they know she loves it to especially when she orgasms over and over. She loves to take control as well and give that cock some special treatment.

Martin Luther King Day is coming up soon which means: long weekend! What a perfect opportunity to sit down and read a good book. For older teens, I recommend The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade. Take a look:
Alona Dare–Senior in high school, co-captain of the cheerleading squad, Homecoming Queen three years in a row, voted most likely to marry a movie star… and newly dead.
I'm the girl you hated in high school. Is it my fault I was born with it all-good looks, silky blond hair, a hot bod, and a keen sense of what everyone else should not be wearing? But my life isn't perfect, especially since I died. Run over by a bus of band geeks—is there anything more humiliating? As it turns out, yes—watching your boyfriend and friends move on with life, only days after your funeral. And you wouldn't believe what they're saying about me now that they think I can't hear them. To top it off, I'm starting to disappear, flickering in and out of existence. I don't know where I go when I'm gone, but it's not good. Where is that freaking white light already?
Will Killian–Senior in high school, outcast, dubbed "Will Kill" by the popular crowd for the unearthly aura around him, voted most likely to rob a bank…and a ghost-talker.
I can see, hear, and touch the dead. Unfortunately, they can also see, hear and touch me. Yeah, because surviving high school isn't hard enough already. I've done my best to hide my "gift." After all, my dad, who shared my ability, killed himself because of it when I was fifteen. But lately, pretending to be normal has gotten a lot harder. A new ghost—an anonymous, seething cloud of negative energy with the capacity to throw me around—is pursuing me with a vengeance. My mom, who knows nothing about what I can do, is worrying about the increase in odd incidents, my shrink is tossing around terms like "temporary confinement for psychiatric evaluation," and my principal, who thinks I'm a disruption and a faker, is searching for every way possible to get rid of me. How many weeks until graduation?
Alona and Will, two words: sizzling chemistry (even if one is dead). The best type of chemistry is the I-hate-you-but-I-secretly-love-you kind.
After Alona's death, she cannot go to "the light" but notices that Will can see her. It's the perfect opportunity to annoy Will into helping her (again but she's dead this time). Will, on the other hand, hates helping ghosts but can't resist helping the beautiful Alona Dare. Being constantly around each other, they get into fights. I love the how Alona and Will interact with each other. Alona brings the sass while Will brings the snark. Together, they make amazing entertainment and sizzling chemistry. Despite the arguments, Alona and Will slowly realizes that there's more to a person than meets the eye...

Enjoy the long weekend!

Helping children develop mental strength is one of the most important things a parent can do. It starts by helping your child develop self-control. Teaching your child to develop self-control means providing opportunities for socialization and insisting on personal responsibility. Challenge your child by exposing them to a variety of social, academic, and athletic challenges. Don't be afraid to let your child experience stress and even failure as they mature, and they will emerge as mentally strong adults.
Method 1 of 3:
Developing Self Control
1Teach your child to delay gratification. By delaying gratification, your child will develop self-control, one of the most important qualities of the mentally tough individual. A simple way is to tell your child to wait until after they've eaten everything to eat dessert. As they grow, you could tell them that they must wait to receive big, expensive gifts and toys until their birthday or Christmas.[1]
2Help your child find healthy outlets for expression. A mentally tough child will be able to rebound quickly after a disappointment or setback. Encourage your child to be honest with themselves and others about what they're feeling after a big loss. Remind them that it's okay to be sad or angry, but that they must find ways to channel their frustration and sadness into art, music, and other positive activities.[2]
- If your child plays a sport and is having a hard time coping with a painful loss, the best way for them to deal with their disappointment might be to get back on the field with renewed determination.
- Talk to your child regularly about their feelings and be someone that they can vent to. Try asking them, "What was the best part of your day?" or "Tell me about your day!"
- Discourage your child from yelling, throwing things, or engaging in destructive behaviors after suffering a setback. Tantrums are not a habit of mentally strong kids.[3]
3Provide opportunities for socialization. Mental toughness requires responding to social situations – including criticism, bullying, and peer pressure – in positive ways. If your child does not encounter these situations, they will have no frame of reference to draw on as they grow, and will become mentally weak.[4]
- Social opportunities provide your child with the opportunity to test their limits and exercise independence.
- Through social opportunities and play, your child will be able to determine what they can do alone, and what they need help with. These social opportunities will also help them navigate the processes of negotiation and social bonding.
- You can also talk to your child about their social life and use your own experiences to relate. For example, if your child is frustrated with a friend, you could say, "I went through something like that, too. It's really tough."
4Teach your child to conquer themselves. Mentally strong kids know that they need to tap into their own best self before they can focus on achieving victory against anyone else. Explain to your child that they must want to constantly improve their technique or extend their knowledge if they are to build mental strength. You cannot make them do it, you can only guide the way. Tell your child:[5]
- "Do your best."
- "Own yourself."
- "Take control of the moment."
- "Take risks that nobody else does."
Method 2 of 3:
Embracing Challenges
1Push your kids. Challenge your kids to do things that are hard. You'll have lots of opportunities to do this as your kids grow. For instance, for a younger child, they might say that it's too hard to clean their room. In this case, say, "I know it's hard, but sometimes in life we must do things that are difficult, even when we don't want to."[6]
- As your child grows, you could push them to do something more legitimately difficult. For instance, if your child struggles with algebra and gives up because it's "too hard," sit down with them and again, remind them that they must do their homework. Encourage your child by saying, "You can do this, I believe in you."
- When your child grows tired toward the end of their task, push them to keep going. Say something like, "You're doing great. Don't give up now!"
- If necessary, help your child with the tasks they struggle with, but never do the whole thing for them.
- If your child does extracurricular sports, look for coaches who give honest feedback and ask your child to put more energy into what they're doing.
2Let your child fail. The sweet taste of victory is nothing unless one has also tasted the bitterness of defeat. Failure can be an important learning experience, and provide your child with a new perspective on their behavior and performance. After failing, your child will toughen up mentally and redouble their efforts the next time around to avoid the feelings of disappointment that accompany failure.[7][8]
- For instance, if you told your child to pack their shoes and they didn't, don't rescue them by running home to get the shoes yourself. Let their failure serve as a lesson to help them remember to be more responsible next time.[9]
- View failures as stepping stones on the footpath to success and teach this to your child by example. If you've tried and failed to fix an appliance at home, for example, don't get upset. Instead, say what you'll do differently next time.
- Don't be worried that your child will suffer a self-esteem blow when they fail.
- While it is important to cheer your child up, you should also provide gentle but honest feedback to your child. If you believe the reason for your child's failure lies with them, explain yourself in terms they understand.[10]
3Ensure your child finds joy in their extracurricular activities. Your child will often have to be mentally tough in the face of academic or professional situations, especially as they grow older. But developing mental toughness is best achieved by ensuring that the child has a few activities like sports or competitive video game clubs that require a real passion and love. If your child is enthusiastic about facing new challenges, they will need little encouragement from you to level up their strategy, improve their technique, and achieve a clarity of focus that builds mental strength.[11]
- Encourage your child to do things they like to do and challenge themselves within those preferred arenas.
- Help your child see that they can apply the same skills and attitudes that they developed in their hobbies to other areas of life to achieve success.
4Analyze every experience. Whether your child succeeds or fails after any sort of competition, talk to them about what they did right and what they did wrong. Helping them understand the outcome in an explicit way will allow your child to learn more about themselves and/or their experience, and thereby become mentally stronger.[12]
- Talk to your child about what went right with their performance by asking them directly. Say, "What do you think you did well back there?" They might point to many hours of practice, a willingness to take risks, or careful planning.
- You should also be direct when talking to your child about what they did wrong. Ask them, "Can you think of anything you could have improved?" They might list a lack of preparedness or underestimating the competition.
- Relate with your child by sharing experiences of your own, but don't try to push your lessons on them. Let them see that you know what they're going through and are here to help if they need it.
- If your child doesn't perceive factors relevant to their success or failure, help them identify those factors. Focus on the nitty-gritty details that might be harder to see.[13]
- In some cases, it might help to provide your child with evidence – for instance, a recording of their game, or a direct examination of their test – to point out where they went wrong and what they did right.[14]
5Permit moderate stress. Too much stress can cause your child to mentally clock out and lapse into depression and apathy. But if your child has an active life where they are trying to juggle school and a social life and extracurricular obligations, they will grow mentally tough by developing habits and ways of life necessary to manage their time and energy.[15]
- Encourage your child to take on additional obligations. Sign them up for one or two extracurricular activities per school year. They don't need to be sports, either – chess club, regular volunteer positions, or school plays can all prove moderately stressful situations that will challenge your child to grow stronger mentally.
- As your child grows, help them identify specific talents or interests they have, and encourage them to zero in those areas of expertise.[16]
Method 3 of 3:
Fostering a Sense of Self-worth
1Ensure your child feels safe. Let your child know that they are cared for and will always have a home with you. Be respectful to your child and don't disparage their ideas or input. Respond to your child's ideas and self-expression in a kind and gentle way.[17]
- For instance, when your child mispronounces a word, don't belittle them. Instead, help them re-read the word and pronounce it for them correctly.
- If your child shares their hopes and dreams, encourage them by saying, "I believe you can do anything if you put your mind to it."
- Pick your child up when they're down. For instance, after your child gets a disappointing grade on their test, say, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll study hard and do better next time. Let's go to the movie theatre and see that new animated film you wanted to see."[18]
2Be fair when disciplining your child. Always outline your expectations and punishments for violating expectations in clear terms. Be consistent in your application of rules. Never curse or yell at your child, and do not strike your child in anger or as punishment for misbehavior.[19]
- Using physical punishment will erode the bonds of trust and affection between you and your child.
- Being a good role model for self-control and justice in this way will demonstrate to your child how to behave.
3Help your child see their self-worth is independent of their performance. Emphasize to your child that you love them no matter how well they do in their chosen arena of competition. Remind them that it is not some inherent flaw in them that caused them to lose, but rather, a flawed performance which can be corrected for in other matches.[20]
- Do not get angry or become sullen with your child for losing.
- Do not proffer hurtful criticism or embarrassing commentary when your child does not succeed.
4Praise your child's effort. Do not essentialize your child by saying things like, "You are a great artist/athlete/dancer." Comments to this effect will make your child believe they have already attained some level of perfection at whatever it is they're engaged in. Instead, praise the work and actions that your child is contributing toward becoming a great artist/athlete/dancer. For example, you could say, "I'm really proud of you for putting a lot of extra time in on your art" or "All your practice will pay off soon. Keep at it."[21][22]
5Insist they try their best. Parents, teachers, and coaches who are demanding and do not accept sub-par effort produce mental toughness in their kids. Your child might chafe under strict rules or schedules, but in the long run, they will appreciate this "tough love" for helping them become more focused and more capable of giving things their best shot.[23]
- Insist that your child gets all their homework done before playing.
- Ensure your child adjusts themselves to schedules for sports practice or for school.
- Setting limits for your child demonstrates that you care about them, which in turn helps them develop habits of self-care.[24]

Game Jam: Creating a Video Game
The Game Jam was developed for and offered through the Santa Fe Public Schools' SAGE (Services for Advanced and Gifted Education) Program although any school or youth group could enter. The game categories were: Board, Card, Action, and Video games. The criteria used to judge the games:
The contest was conceived and developed by Steve Heil – Santa Fe Public Schools Gifted Program Support Specialist. For more information, contact him at email@example.com.
I encouraged my 5th and 6th grade gifted learners at one of my schools to enter the video game category. I scaffolded instruction (described below) but they created their story narratives, storyboards, and video games.
Introduction to Story Narratives
They were introduced to world and character through the following Pixar in a Box video.
Storyboarding with Storyboard That
Learners used Storyboard That to create the storyboards for their video games.
Storyboard That is a graphic organizer and storyboard creator . The program provides pre-made scenes, characters, text boxes, shapes, and other images to choose from, Students are able to drag and drop these items into their chosen layout. Scenes are organized into locational and thematic categories (e.g. school). Characters are organized similarly and can be customized with hair color, eye color, and other edits. Text boxes allow the student to give voice to their characters. Shapes and additional images add props to the story. (https://www.edsurge.com/product-reviews/storyboard-that-product)
It was continually reinforced that their storyboards needed to include strong characters, settings, and plot.
Video Game Creation
Learners were given the option of two game creation platforms:-
- Scratch – https://scratch.mit.edu/
- Makecode Arcade – https://arcade.makecode.com/
To help them make their decision about which platform to use, they were asked to do tutorials offered by each of these platforms. Two of the teams selected MakeCode Arcade and one of the teams selected Scratch. The MakeCode teams were able to create their characters using the pixel image creation function, and the Scratch team created their characters using this platform's drawing tool.
MakeCode Avatars

Video Overviews
As part of the game jam submission procedures, learners had to record a video overview. Here are their video overviews:
The Importance of Civics Education (Updated)
Truth be told, I always disliked history and government classes as a Kindergarten through undergraduate student. I found it dry, boring, irrelevant, and unimportant. I believe this was due to it all being about memorization . . . memorizing events and dates in history; memorizing the branches of government; memorizing states and their capitols. This type of learning reflects only remembering, the lowest level of Bloom's Taxonomy.
Now that I am a teacher of gifted education, I believe it is important for my students, for all students to participate in civics education. There is a problem with knowledge of civics by today's children and youth (adults, too). The Center on American Progress stated in The State of Civics Education:
Civic knowledge and public engagement is at an all-time low. A 2016 survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that only 26 percent of Americans can name all three branches of government, which was a significant decline from previous years. Not surprisingly, public trust in government is at only 18 percent and voter participation has reached its lowest point since 1996. Without an understanding of the structure of government; rights and responsibilities; and methods of public engagement, civic literacy and voter apathy will continue to plague American democracy. Educators and schools have a unique opportunity and responsibility to ensure that young people become engaged and knowledgeable citizens.
For civics education to be effective, though, it needs to be engaging, exciting, authentic, and relevant for learners. Here are two civics education practices that can be implemented within the classroom"
Schools should provide direct instruction in government, history, economics, law, and democracy in ways that provoke analysis and critical thinking skills. These subjects are vital to laying the foundation for civic learning and may also contribute to young people's tendency to engage in civic and political activities over the long term. However, schools should avoid teaching only rote facts about dry procedures, which is unlikely to benefit students and may actually alienate them from politics.
Schools should incorporate discussion of current local, national, and international issues and events into the classroom, particularly those that young people view as important to their lives. Engaging students in civil dialogue about controversial issues provides opportunities to foster character and civic virtue–important civic dispositions that are the habits of the heart and mind conducive to the healthy functioning of the democratic system. Examples include civility, open-mindedness, compromise, and toleration of diversity, all of which are prerequisites of a civic life in which the American people can work out the meanings of their democratic principles and values (Revitalizing Civic Learning in Our Schools).
As discussed in the NEA article Forgotten Purpose: Civics Education in Public Schools , the value of civics education goes far beyond politics:
Now I am including civics education as part of my gifted education instruction for my 2nd through 6th grade students. There are two reasons I am doing so:
- The political climate, not just in the United States, but worldwide has become contentious and toxic. I believe that this is due, in part, to a lack of education in civics.
- There are online tools like Brainpop, Newsela, and iCivics that make civics education more interesting and engaging.
This is an update of the original post in which I discussed the midterm elections – see below. I have a group of 5th and 6th grade gifted students who selected the global citizenship class I offer one day a week for 1.5 hours per meeting time. This means that they are interested in this topic. They have been working on their presidential candidacy speeches as if they were going to run for being the president of the United Speech. Today, April 11, 2019, we watched some Brainpop videos.
I stopped them at several points to ask questions, "Who is the vice president of the United States?" Them, "I don't know." "How many terms – how long can someone be president of the United States?" Their response, "I don't know." How many branches of the US government are there?" Their response, "I don't know." Yikes – more evidence that civics education is needed in our schools.
I teach at two Title 1 schools with a predominately Hispanic student body. An article from the NEA had this to say about civics education in lower income schools:
Only 25 percent of U.S. students reach the "proficient" standard on the NAEP Civics Assessment. White, wealthy students are four to six times as likely as Black and Hispanic students from low-income households to exceed that level. Here's why: Students in wealthier public school districts are far more likely to receive high-quality civics education than students in low-income and majority-minority schools (Forgotten Purpose: Civics Education in Public Schools ).
Midterm Elections
The midterm elections provided a great teachable moment for my students to get some civics education. We began with a KWHLAQ Chart developed by (what do I Know, what do I Want to know, How will I find out, what have I Learned, what Action will I take, and what further Questions do I have) developed by Silvia Tolisano. We then watched some Brainpop videos on voting using the follow-up review quizzes. Students were then asked to choose an article from the Newsela Civics category to read, and play iCivics games. Here are the slides of activities I shared with students in our Google Classroom so students could have access and work through the Newsela and iCivics activities at their own pace, making choices of news articles and games based on their own interests.
Because of student choice and the interactive nature of Newsela and iCivics (I can't overstate how much all of my students love iCivics), students found the activities engaging. These activities also tapped into higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. This is a start. I plan on integrating civics lessons throughout the school year.
There are no so many fun and interactive ways to teach civics as well as suggestions and tips for best practices such as the ones recommended by The National Center for Learning and Civc Engagement in a guidebook entitled Six Proven Practices for Effective Civic Learning.
The necessary elements of effective civic education include classroom instruction in civics & government, history, economics, law and geography; service learning linked to classroom learning; experiential learning; learning through participation in models and simulations of democratic processes; guided classroom discussion of current issues and events, and meaningful participation in school governance.
Access to this document can be found below; and the NEA has a list of civics education resources found at http://www.nea.org/civicseducation.
Video Game Design with Elementary Learners
In order to support interest and passion driven learning (all – I mean all – of my students play video games) as well as address cross-curricular content area integration of language arts, science, and technology standards, I had my gifted elementary learners, grades 2 through 6, do a semester long project on video game design.

At the moment, San Diego theater features a slate of unusually murky fare; the above-mentioned Water and Power, for example, is heavier than Elton John after a really big meal. Maybe North Coast Repertory Theatre saw that coming when it decided to stage Don't Dress for Dinner, a farce about who's boning whom. Either way, this thing couldn't have come at a better time. Marc Camoletti's six motley characters are stuffed under the roof of a converted barn, left to sort out a mistaken identity and some impromptu sleeping arrangements. It all translates to one of the best North Coast shows of the last five years. Phil Johnson shines as hapless husband Bernard, and Rosina Reynolds directs to perfection—she has a brilliant bit of business for every single appropriate occasion, yet she doesn't overdo anything in the least. This hilarious piece runs through Nov. 16 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987-D Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach. $39-$45. 858-481-1055, www.northcoastrep.org.
1984: Big Brother takes on a life of his own as he bends the will of an entire society. Opens Oct. 31 at OnStage Playhouse, 291 Third Ave. in Chula Vista. $13-$15. 619-422-7787 or www.onstageplayhouse.org.

|The Artsy Craftsy featured on Harian Metro: Majalah M "Blog Pilihan"
Today was an amazing day. Of course it was the usual busy-as-hell day but the good news that I have been patiently waiting for the whole week since last Saturday really made my day worthwhile.
Last Saturday, as I have announced on my Instagram, I was at local newspaper Harian Metro office to do an interview. I met Faizah, a really friendly and down-to-earth lifestyle journalist and her photographer; I had an amazing chat with them not just about sharing my blog but about other views too.
As the day that I anticipated the entire week finally arrived, I grab the newsstand's last 4 copies and immediately shared with mother, my cousins, and friends, and of course to my readers on the blog's Facebook profile (btw, for those who would like to add me as friend, click on the link).
I was very touched when my colleagues, friends and loved ones shared my joy. Some of them knew, especially Justin, who knew that I have been manifesting for a Media Publicity for a year. And yes it is about time, just like my good friend, Sonia said. =).
Faizah is an amazing story teller. The article was beautifully written. I was touched by how Faizah told my story not just about me as a blogger but as a woman who aspires to inspire others. She knew how to tell my story, a piece that I kept with me all along. Many people thought that one of the reasons why I started the blog was because of my interest in art and creativity. Well that made sense because I always showed interest in those areas. But there is a profound part of the journey, and it is also the reason that prompted me to open up my door and start walking towards that direction called Light and Love. And this is the piece that I have been holding on to.
Anyways, later on the day, I also found out that my all-time favourite App Pixlr featured me on their blog, Facebook and Instagram. It was seriously awesome to finally see the Lotus that I photographed in a template in Malacca last year November. You have no idea how much I have wished for this to happen, to have my photographs featured by Pixlr. I think it is a dash of #Passion, a sprinkle of effort and a dollop of #Believe that made all things happened for me. And I am going to keep on holding it close to my heart for good stuff to happen.
|To view The Artsy Craftsy Pixlr Blog + Pic of the Day, see here
As it is the first time in my life receiving such achievement, I am certainly overwhelmed with joy. However, this isn't the only thing that makes me happy; this achievement has also made realized so many things:
1. I am grateful that I believed in myself and my work #Believe #Passion
2. I am grateful that 5 years ago, I made that decision to start living life and doing the things that I love most.
3. I am grateful that 3 years ago, I made that decision to eliminate negativity instead and start being positive. And ever since then, I never saw it as a cliche, or corny. It was #Truth that changed my life all around and reprogrammed my mindset.
4. My cousin posted up my good news on his Facebook and shared with my other family members. Made me realized how grateful I am for technology today because we can finally share ONE good news at the same time with immediate effect. And I am grateful that this exposure allowed me to see how much my loved ones love me and have been supporting me all along.

5. I am grateful for my readers, including readers that dropped by and to those who showed interest in reading my blog because without that support, I wouldn't have reached such high number of page views either. So, thank you! =)
Finally, thank you Universe. Thank you to my loved ones, thank you Faizah for writing such beautiful piece, and thank you to You.


text: Share: Comments Print September 6, 2011 at 9:33 AM Stormy September Posted by Jon Talton Today's selloff on Wall Street is only the beginning of what we should expect from September. The global economy is slowing. The American economy is close to a double-dip recession or is still in one, the old-fashioned metrics no longer useful. Europe is a mess: Behind the so-called sovereign debt crisis are big banks that made bad bets (sound familiar?), and a monetary union on the brink. As the nest-eggs of average Americans evaporate, there's only so far they can max out the credit cards to keep the vaunted consumer economy going. Austerity will only make things worse, as has been happening in Europe. Nobody expects a bold move on jobs from President Obama, who is looking more and more like a one-termer no matter what outrageous things are said by the GOP field, especially the front-runners. Obama, a creature of Wall Street and Robert Rubin's obsession with pleasing the bond playerz, will only add to the rolls of jobless as public-sector jobs continue to be eliminated. None of these issues can be addressed quickly anyway. That is, even if our leaders were speaking truth to the American people and taking serious measures. Some readers argue that the Federal Reserve, whose Federal Open Market Committee begins a two-day meeting Tuesday, will be forced into another round of easing. I'm not so sure. Ben Bernanke lacks consensus on the board and is under pressure from politicians such as Rick Perry. And would it do any good, other than to inject more hot money into the system, distorting investments but not creating new jobs? Hang on. It's going to be a rough ride.

Applying for WNGGA Scholarshipname does not have to be a difficult task, if you play your cards correctly. It is crucial that you keep your mind clear and that you dont rush it. Any puncutation or spelleing that seems out of place will be a red flag. It is very important that you watch what you are doing, and always check over your work when you are finished. For instance, it you end up spelling the name of your college wrongly, or sponsor: Welsh National Gymanfa Ganu Association, Inc. (WNGGA)name , even provide the wrong information for references, it not only diminishes your credibility, but it also annoys the reviewer.
You need to know your audience. For instance, if you are applying to WNGGA Scholarshipname that is very philanthropist friendly, then be sure to describe all the times you volunteered, went on missions trips, etc. Also, if you are applying to a military institution, then be sure to talk about your leadership abilities and even your familys heritage with the military. Not all applications are the same, and some need specific tailoring. Also, make sure that you are not saying in two words what you could say in one word. The easier your application is to read through, then your audience will not grow board reading it. You want to make it very simple and easy to read, offering you a chance to get them to like you.
