Listening is a communication skill that needs a lot of practice. There are many different English accents in the world, and a good listener can understand them all.
ability to read for purpose.
grammar is the skeleton of the English language. It holds up everything else.
Remember… if you self- correct a grammar mistake 3 times, you generally will not make it again!
Like grammar, vocabulary builds the English language. The Oxford English dictionary has approximately 600,000 definitions! We will never say that English is easy.

Does Brain Age actually make you smarter? We have no idea, but it's still an interesting puzzle game available at a budget price.
Does Brain Age actually make you smarter? We have no idea, but it's still an interesting puzzle game available at a budget price.
* Great sudoku
* Interesting use of the DS dual screens.
===
Since the heady days of arcade favorites such as Asteroids, Pac-Man, and Missile Command, people have claimed that video games can help sharpen your reflexes and keep you thinking fast. But there never seemed to be any hard science to back it up. Over 20 years later, Nintendo's releasing a product for the Nintendo DS that is squarely aimed at that hard science, making the claim that playing Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day can "make your brain feel fresh and sharp." Well, we're not scientists, so we can't necessarily prove or disprove that claim, but as a budget-priced game, Brain Age is strangely compelling, even though its very nature is brutally repetitive.
Brain Age is mostly about flexing your math skills.
The focus of the game's educational aspect is that the activities on display are designed to activate your prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls how you apply what you know. The theory is that by flexing this part of your dome with basic math problems and memorization, you can sharpen your intelligence. The game presents you with a series of different simple tasks that you are to perform daily. Your performance is stored in a profile and displayed via a series of graphs that quickly tell you how well you've been doing. Additionally, there's an overall test that determines your "brain age" based on a sampling of the brains of various people of various ages. The best score you can get is 20, signifying that your brain is as nimble as a 20-year-old. Well, a smart 20-year-old, anyway.
You play the game solely with the touch screen, and on top of that, you hold the DS sideways. Info appears on the main screen, and you answer questions with the touch screen. The tasks you're given are basic math and reading comprehension, with some memorization thrown in. You start out with calculations x20, which gives you 20 simple math problems to complete. From there, you get the harder version, which gives you 100 problems. You eventually get one that measures how quickly you can read, one that asks you to memorize the placement of numbers on a grid, one that asks you to quickly count how many syllables are in a phrase, and so on. There aren't a ton of different tests, but the game unlocks them over time, so you aren't given the opportunity to burn out on all of them right away. For the most part, they're interesting, and if you get into attempting to beat your own score (or the scores of another player that's using the same copy of the game), they can get sort of addictive.
Aside from the brain-training aspect of Brain Age, there's also a multiplayer mode that lets you get into a calculation battle against up to 15 other players using a single copy of the game. But the other additional draw is a lot more compelling than that. Brain Age comes with a substantial amount of sudoku puzzles. The addictive numbers-and-logic game is done very well here, putting the touch screen to use in an effective manner.
Brain Age has a good amount of well-implemented sudoku puzzles.
The touch screen and DS microphone make the whole game possible. It's a really slick way to play the game, but it's also reliant on your handwriting and ability to speak clearly. When you're rushing through math problems, it's easy to squiggle down something that the game will misinterpret. This is extremely frustrating, as you're penalized for mistakes. The voice recognition doesn't come into play very often, and you can bypass it entirely if you like, but we had trouble getting it to recognize certain words. Over time, you figure out exactly how the game wants you to write and speak and then adapt to it. For the most part, though, the recognition is pretty impressive, especially considering there's no calibration process involved.
All in all, Brain Age is a quirky and unique product that's worth taking a look at, largely thanks to its budget price. Whether or not it's improving your mind or just improving your ability to perform its specific tasks is ultimately unclear, but there's currently nothing else quite like it on the market, and fans of logic puzzles and other basic puzzle games should enjoy it quite a bit.

How to Build a Snowman
How to Build a Snowman
source
Building a snowman provides an entertaining, creative way to get some fresh air on a lazy winter day. You'll need a few inches of snow on the ground; wear gloves or mittens.
1.
Step 1
Test to see if you have 'packing snow,' which clumps together easily and isn't too wet. The snow must pack to make a snowman.
2.
Step 2
Shape a handful of snow into a ball. Continue adding more snow and packing the ball until it's too large to hold.
3.
Step 3
Place the ball on the snow in front of you and slowly roll it away from you. As more snow accumulates on the outside of your ball, pack the snow by pressing on it with your gloved hands.
4.
Step 4
Roll and pack the ball over and over until it is the size you want for the bottom of the snowman's body.
5.
Step 5
Repeat for the midsection and head. The bottom should be the biggest ball, and the top should be the smallest.
6.
Step 6
Pack some extra snow between the layers to make them stick together. Place sticks down the center where the sections meet if your snowman is having trouble standing erect.
7.
Step 7
Give the snowman a face. Use coal, rocks, buttons or anything dark and round for the eyes. A horizontal stick or twig will make a good mouth, and a carrot is fine for the pointy nose. If you don't have a carrot, a banana or a candy cane will do the job.
8.
Step 8
Cover the top of his head with an old plant for hair, or give him a knit hat to wear. Top hats will blow away unless secured.
9.
Step 9
Add arms, legs and other accessories. Push sticks into the sides of the middle section and hang old mittens on the ends, then place boots at the bottom for legs. Also consider adding items such as a shirt, a scarf or sunglasses.

How to be Strong
How to be Strong
source
When faced with difficult circumstances, why do some people falter and spiral towards self-destruction while others survive and even thrive once the storm has passed? No one is immune to adversity, but some people seem to be better able to cope with and recover from even the most strenuous conditions. At the core of their strength is a mindset that allows them to carry on through thick and thin. Fortunately, this mindset is no secret. Emotional resiliency has been written about, studied and even measured, revealing some insights as to how anyone can be strong. Here are some ways to build your own inner strength.
...
STEPS...
1
# Remember that you are in control. Strength implies having power and being able to affect one's own life, while weakness implies being powerless and helpless. No matter what your circumstances, there are things you can control, and things you can't. The key is to focus on the things you can control. Make a list of all the things that are troubling you, then make a list of all the things you can do to make each situation better. Accept the items on the first list (they are what they are) and focus your energy on the second list.
* In studies of people with a high Adversity Quotient (AQ) it's observed that resilient people always find some aspect of any situation that they can control, and they also feel responsible for taking action to fix the situation, even if their hardship was caused by someone else. Those with a low AQ, however, ignore opportunities to take action and deflect accountability, presuming that because they didn't create the situation, they should not be the ones to remedy it.[1]
#
2
Choose your attitude. Sometimes (hopefully rarely) we encounter situations in which we really are helpless to enact change, but you are still in control because no matter what, you can always control your attitude towards life. As Victor Frankl put it: "We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way." Regardless of what is happening, be positive.
* If somebody is making your life miserable, don't let them crush your spirit. Continue to be proud and have hope and remember that these are the things that no one can take away from you. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."[2]
* Try not to let a crisis or hardship in one area of your life "spill over" into other areas of your life. If you're facing great difficulty with work, for instance, don't behave irritably towards your significant other when they've done nothing but try to help. Eliminate the "side effects" of your hardship by controlling your own attitude. Resilient people do not "catastrophize" every setback, nor do they let negative events follow a domino effect through their lives.[3]
#
3
Have faith in yourself. You've made it this far. You can make it through just one more day. And if you take it just one day at a time, or even one moment at a time, you can survive whatever you're going through. It won't be easy, and you're not invincible, so take baby steps. When you feel like you're about to fall apart, close your eyes and take a deep breath. Meditate or pray. Tell yourself "I can handle this." Once you've centered yourself, open your eyes and take one more step forward.
#
4
Pick your battles wisely. You're going through a lot right now; don't cling to ideals and concerns that will break you rather than make you. This is as good a time as ever to avoid sweating the small stuff. Whittle your life down to a few core values that mean the world to you, and don't worry about anything else. "Some people think it's holding on that makes one strong- sometimes it's letting go."[4]
#
5
Reach out. Spend time with friends and family who are supportive and positive. If no one is available, make new friends. And if there are no friends to be found, help others who are in greater need than you are. Sometimes when we feel like we can't better our own situations, we can find strength in bettering someone else's, and we can also gain perspective on our own lives. "I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet."[5]
#
6
Be thankful. Life is tough, but if you look closely enough, you'll find and infinite number of things to be grateful for. Even if the things that made you happy in the past are gone, there's so much more to appreciate still. The joy you derive from the world around you is the fuel that'll push you through the hardest of times, so pay attention to what you have and enjoy it for what it's worth. Sure, you might not have that new shirt, or whatever it is you want, but at least you have this computer, with the internet, or you wouldn't be seeing this. You know how to read, you probably have a house, and the Internet you are using is obviously paid for. Some people can't read, have no computer, no home. Think about that.

Getting to know Jennifer ESL
ABOUT ME
Jennifer Recio Lebedev
Originally certified to teach Russian as a foreign language by the state of Pennsylvania, I later discovered my true calling as an English language teacher while living and studying in Moscow, Russia. My undergraduate degree from Bryn Mawr College and graduate degree from Middlebury College are in Russian Studies, and I joke with my husband today that I did not major in Russian Studies, but simply took an intensive preparation course for marriage to a native Russian.
I began teaching English in 1996, first as a private instructor and later in the classroom. My teaching experience broadened when I returned to the U.S. in 2001, and subsequently I moved from the EFL classroom to the ESL classroom. At a private IEP in Boston, I joined the teaching staff and earned my TESL certificate. The small size of the school afforded many opportunities for professional growth. In time I coordinated and taught the teacher training program, established a literary magazine, and even wrote a 4-level series for the school’s writing curriculum. The many responsibilities I took on greatly aided my growth as a teacher, but by the end of 2005 I opted to leave my position as a classroom teacher and ESL program coordinator and move in another direction.
It was Pearson Longman that built a bridge for me between my work in an IEP and my work as a materials writer. Vocabulary Power was a labor of love, completed after two years, and it was my debut on the international scene. Prior to this textbook series, I had written only small works for EFL students and teachers in Russia.
Not ready to return to traditional classroom teaching (two reasons: two children!), I experimented with online instruction in the late summer of 2007. I made a tentative entrance on the YouTube scene as “JenniferESL”, but soon became bolder and more committed as the response among viewers grew.
Here I am today, with vodcasts, podcasts, books, and plenty of ideas I am eager to share with the international community of English language learners and teachers. I hope you will continue to welcome my contributions.

We got the neat Flip Boom animation program for my daughter, Becca (5), and she loves it. She wanted to make a "movie" for Daddy, so we gave her a list of things to draw and animate and she went right to work. She did get a little burned out after a while, so Mommy finished a couple of the animations (and Mommy did the backgrounds and video panning stuff), but by and large, this is Becca's work.
Flip Boom is available at http://www.toonboom.com/kids/

little bo peep - animation nursery rhyme
Little Bo Peep story
Little Bo peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Bringing their tails behind them.
Little Bo peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating,
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were all still fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook
Determined for to find them.
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they left their tails behind them.
It happened one day, as Bo peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by,
There she espied their tails side by side
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh, and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could,
As a shepherdess should,
To tack again each to its lambkin.

And tried what she could,
As a shepherdess should,
To tack again each to its lambkin.

Lesson 3a - Rhythm through Rhymes - English Pronunciation
Hey diddle diddle rhyme
Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon!
Hey diddle diddle rhyme

Little Boy Blue poem
Little Boy Blue come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow the cow's in the corn.
But where's the boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack fast asleep.
Will you wake him? No, not I - for if I do, he's sure to cry
Little Boy Blue poem

Little Bo Peep story
Little Bo peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Bringing their tails behind them.
Little Bo peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating,
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were all still fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook
Determined for to find them.
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they left their tails behind them.
It happened one day, as Bo peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by,
There she espied their tails side by side
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh, and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could,
As a shepherdess should,
To tack again each to its lambkin.

Teach Your Child : Rhythm and Rhyme Can Help Your Child Learn To Read
Rhythm and Rhyme Can Help Your Child Learn To Read

Do you want to learn how making music with your child can increase school and life success?
Would you like to improve your child’s brain function, cognitive abilities, social skills and emotional competence through music? Do you want to find out how rhyme can help your child learn to read?
Experts agree that music can strengthen children’s minds and serve as a fundamental skill of learning. As parents we all know that our children enjoy music and most of us have heard of the positive effects of music. If nothing else we have a vague awareness of the Mozart effect. We know that music is beneficial but we don’t always know why.
In recent years there has been a large body of research to support a number of positive effects that music enjoyment and training can have on a young child’s brain function and ability to learn.
The benefits of music include:
* Extending the neural networks in the brain
* Sound discrimination which leads to spelling success
* Increased vocabulary
* Abstract and spatial reasoning which leads to math success
* Improved coordination
* Better concentration skills
* Sharper memory
* More focused listening skills
Both scientists and educators are realizing that early, positive musical experience is uniquely effective in helping children achieve their full potential intellectually, artistically and emotionally.Simply using music on a regular basis with your child, including singing, listening to music, and playing instruments, can reap tremendous benefits. It is important to note that simply listening to music is not enough. Making music is more powerful for children than just listening. It is important for you to provide your child with a solid early childhood education experience that you won’t have to trust to chance but it is even more important to foster a love of learning!
Remember, today’s preschoolers and kindergarteners are expected to know far more than their parents (that’s US!) were at that same age. Start your child out right.While success in the early grades does not guarantee success throughout the school years and beyond, failure in the early grades does virtually guarantee failure in later schooling. Don’t let your child fail and don’t fail your child!

Death on football (Miklos Feher) and Last Breath - Ahmed Bukhatir
Death on football
Last Breath - Ahmed Bukhatir
LAST BREATH
From those around I hear a Cry,
A muffled sob, a Hopeless sigh,
I hear their footsteps leaving slow,
And then I know my soul must Fly!
A chilly wind begins to blow,
within my soul, from Head to Toe,
And then, Last Breath escapes my lips,
It's Time to leave. And I must Go!
So, it is True (But it's too Late)
They said: Each soul has its Given Date,
When it must leave its body's core,
And meet with its Eternal Fate.
Oh mark the words that I do say,
Who knows? Tomorrow could be your Day,
At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell
Decide which now, Do NOT delay !
Come on my brothers let's pray
Decide which now, Do NOT delay !
Oh God! Oh God! I cannot see !
My eyes are Blind! Am I still Me
Or has my soul been led astray,
And forced to pay a Priceless Fee
Alas to Dust we all return,
Some shall rejoice, while others burn,
If only I knew that before
The line grew short, and came my Turn!
And now, as beneath the soil
They lay me (with my record flawed),
They cry, not knowing I cry worse,
For, they go home, I face my God!
Oh mark the words that I do say,
Who knows, Tomorrow could be your Day,
At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell
Decide which now, Do NOT delay !
Come on my brothers let's pray
Decide which now, do not delay ....

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!,
Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!,
http://hannanconan.blogspot.com/2009/12/cool-way-to-know-your-brain-age-in.html
Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!, also known as Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? in PAL regions, is an entertainment video game that employs puzzles. It was developed and published by the video gaming company Nintendo for the Nintendo DS handheld video game console. Nintendo has been careful not to claim the game has been scientifically validated, however stating that it is an 'entertainment product "inspired" by Dr. Kawashima's work' in the neurosciences.[1][2]
It was first released in Japan, and was later released in North America, Europe, Australia, and South Korea. It was followed by a sequel titled Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day!, and was later followed by two redesigns and Brain Age 2 for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare service which uses popular puzzles from these titles as well as several new puzzles.
Brain Age features a variety of puzzles, including stroop tests, mathematical questions, and Sudoku puzzles, all designed to help keep certain parts of the brain active. It was included in the Touch! Generations series of video games, a series which features games for a more casual gaming audience. Brain Age uses the touch screen and microphone for many puzzles. There has been controversy over the game's scientific effectiveness.

Brain Games aims to build the core Foundation skills in Literacy and Numeracy though quick fire drill and practice questions set to the backdrop of a large ...
www.braingames.org.uk/ - Cached
Brain Games is a new software engine, developed by LSIS, which gives learners a quick and easy way to practise their literacy and numeracy skills.
Brain Games is fun! It aims to engage and motivate learners to succeed by building their skills and confidence as they progress through the game, and tackle incrementally harder challenges. The resource is built round the backdrop of a competitive sporting event, and takes the addictive gameplay of ‘Brain Training’ and applies this to literacy and numeracy, using sound pedagogic principles.
In the Words section, learners can choose from: Getting it? – Understanding; Spell it – Spelling; Scribe – Writing; What’s the use? – Grammar; Full stop – Punctuation; and Word! – Vocabulary.
In Numbers, they can choose from Work it out … Numbers, Bits and pieces – Fractions; How big? – Measures; and More than likely – Statistics. All categories are available at three levels – easy, medium and hard.
In the Stats Centre, learners can view their performance charts, high scores and medals tables, and issue challenges to their training buddies. As they practise core technical skills of literacy and numeracy through the game learners are signposted towards more context-rich learning challenges at www.move-on.org.uk as well as the mini tests supporting the National Literacy and Numeracy tests.
Brain Games is an ideal resource that practitioners can use to help reinforce specific skills taught and the game can also be used by learners to practise their skills independently. LSIS is currently developing further functionality in Brain Games which will enable practitioners to set up and manage learner groups, and track learner progress by subject, category and level. This will be available from early summer 2010.
Brain Games is currently available free of charge to play online and, as Brain Games Lite, it can be installed on a range of mobile phones. In early 2010 a downloadable version of Brain Games will be available to run from a hard disc, or memory stick .
=======
Minimum technical requirements:
• PC: Intel Pentium 4 2.33GHz processor (or equivalent), 128MB of available RAM, 64MB of VRAM
• Mac: PowerPC G5 1.8GHz or faster processor, Intel Core Duo 1.33GHz or faster processor, 256MB of RAM, 64MB of VRAM
• Windows Vista, Windows XP, Mac OS X v10.1 or later (Power PC), Mac OS X v10.4.x or later (Intel)
• A stand-alone executable, using the Flash 9 Player engine. Flash will not need to be pre-installed on the machine.

Planet 51 Movie Trailer
Planet 51 Movie Trailer
Coming to theatres this November is a close encounter of the kind that we generally don't see--the reverse kind.
Featuring both Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Seann William Scott in a pairing we haven't seen since The Rundown, Planet 51 features a race of aliens who live in nigh-perpetual fear of an alien invasion. Their fears, however, aren't so unfounded as a human astronaut crash-lands on Planet 51. Can the stranded astronaut get back to his ship and return home safely, with the help of a few of the planet's denizens? Or wil he be captured and dissected? Check out the trailer!
There's nothing quite like a few good subverted tropes, and Planet 51 seems to have a few of them. Will it help this one rise up to the top of the box office? Or will it burn out on entry? Hit the comments section below and file your report! Thanks for watching.
Planet 51 Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Seann William Scott, Gary Oldman, John Cleese
Planet 51 movie trailer provided by TriStar Pictures. Planet 51 opens in US theaters on November 20th, 2009. Planet 51 is directed by Jorge Blanco, Javier Abad and Marcos Martinez.

BEST known for frivolous family fun, Nintendo now wants us to use games to keep our minds sharp and even combat senility.
Nintendo's Brain Training for the hand-held DS console presents users with a series of maths and language challenges created by acclaimed scientist and author Professor Ryuta Kawashima. The game then calculates your "brain age" based on accuracy and speed.
By monitoring blood flow, Professor Kawashima discovered reading, writing and arithmetic were some of the brain's most taxing activities.
"(The professor) feels that the brain is a muscle like anything else," Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto says. "If you don't use it, it's going to get flabby and out of shape, so he created brain exercises so people can stay nimble."
Brain Training uses the DS touch panel and voice recognition. Play is restricted to only 10 minutes per day, but Mr Miyamoto says regular use can help "train your brain so it can become younger".
Already a multimillion seller in Japan, Brain Training is being used in Japanese hospitals to assist patient rehabilitation.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata says "the primary objective of Nintendo right now is how we can expand the gaming population itself". He was pleased Brain Training was the first game he could give his elderly parents.
Mr Iwata says Nintendo may be regarded as "weird" for making brain puzzles while most developers "concentrated on murder, war, excessive violence or car racing", but is determined to attract new users.
"We really do not want to limit the potential customers for Nintendo to the existing market," he says. "We want to include so many current non-gamers, like female and senior audiences."
In contrast to most of today's multimillion-dollar blockbusters developed by huge teams over several years, Brain Training was developed in three months by a small team of eight. It will be released in Australia mid-year.

A cool way to get kids reading
Your child's Nintendo DS is a reading tool.
Betchya didn't know that. And maybe your child doesn't either. And just maybe you're about to be the coolest parent ever. Well, this week.
Your child loves the DS, right? Well, there's a "PICTOCHAT" function that lets two DSs talk back and forth. It's like instant messaging, and you don't need any software. After the main menu (the DS on the right), click on PICTOCHAT (see the DS on the left).
Then you enter a "chat room" - don't worry, it's private and it's not on the Internet. Then you use the stylus and the virtual keyboard to type and send messages back and forth between the two units. You can also draw pictures and send them to each other.
On your child's next playdate, imagine how excited they'll be when you show them how to send cool messages back and forth, like spies! Put one kid in one room and another down the hall, and they'll have a great time. You'll hear the giggling.
You can also stash a DS in your child's room, and send him a message when he walks in. He'll hear a little tinkling bell and wonder what the heck's going on. Send him goofy messages, or better yet, send him on a hunt to find cookies.
It's one-on-one time, on his terms. And yours.
You don't have two DSs? OK, so you can't send him messages - but you can suggest that other kids bring their DSs over. If your child's not a great reader you might not think this will work, but the "drawing" function levels the playing field. So one kid can type and the other one can draw. They're kids - they make it fun.

BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn Trailer
BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn Trailer
Once the ruler of an entire universe, the Great Spirit Mata Nui finds himself cast out of his own body, his spirit trapped inside the fabled Mask of Life, hurtling through space. After landing on the far-away planet of Bara Magna, the mask creates a new body for Mata Nui, who unwillingly gets caught up in the furious battles of the nearly barren and dangerous planet. The locals, called Agori ask for his help against the unrelenting army of the Rock Tribe, called the Skrall and their leader, Tuma. The Glatorian warriors start to train him, teach him how to protect himself, while Mata Nui also adds some of his special powers to their fighting skill. The experienced veteran Ackar, the feisty female Kiina, the young Glatorian Gresh, and a friendly, special beetle named Click aid him on his way. But there is a traitor among the Agori, and bigger secrets lay hidden under the sands of the desert planet. Mata Nui must help his new-found friends, but he also has to find a way to return to his old body and take revenge on the evil being who had banished him.

how can you fix it?
don't complain...think then act.
* If something is wrong, how can you fix it?
* After you have a whinge, think about how YOU can make it better.
* After you have a whinge, then several drinks, think about how to fix it and then make it better.
* Put this poster up somewhere to remind you to think about a solution and then put that solution in motion.
* If you can't do the above then it's time to be quiet :)

Bluecoat Schools
Boys at Christ's Hospital School in Sussex wear a traditional bluecoat uniform which dates back to Tudor times and is probably the oldest school dress still in regular use. The costume, with its distinctive ankle-length coat, neckbands, knee breeches and yellow stockings, is unlike any other school uniform. Pupils at some other bluecoat foundations also wear their historic 'charity costume' on occasion, but only at Christ's Hospital School is the Tudor dress still worn on a daily basis.

Thank You - Super Saturday
Lancaster Giants had there annual super saturday on the 3rd October. The event was under threat by the weather, but thankfully the rain held off to allow all of us no not get too wet! There were five fun events and I hope I can say all events were enjoyed by all. Next year the coaches get to have a go as well. Many thanks to everyone that turned up, helped, run events, brought raffle prizes, drunk tea, eat cakes and supported the day. Jenny will get back to us, with the funds raised in receipt of all sponsor forms. Then when they are in, we will distribute balls around. If you have forgotten the number of points you have scored then ask me at the next training session and I will let you know. If you couldn't make it today and you want to take part, then at the next training session we will run the events again for those people that couldn't come.

Grammar schoolGrammar school
A grammar school is one of several different types of school in the history of education in the United Kingdom and some other English-speaking countries, originally schools teaching classical languages but more recently academically-oriented types of secondary school.
The original purpose of medieval grammar schools was the teaching of Latin. Over time the curriculum was broadened, first to include Ancient Greek and sometimes Hebrew, and later English and other European languages, as well as the natural sciences, mathematics, history, geography and other subjects. In the late Victorian era, grammar schools were re-organised to provide secondary education across the United Kingdom with the exception of Scotland, which had developed a different system. Grammar schools of these types were also established in British territories, where they have evolved in different ways.
Grammar schools became the selective tier of the Tripartite System of state-funded secondary education operating in England and Wales from the mid-1940s to the late 1960s and continuing in Northern Ireland. With the move to non-selective comprehensive schools in the 1960s and 1970s, some grammar schools became fully independent and charged fees, while most others were abolished or became comprehensive. In both cases, many of these schools kept "grammar school" in their names. Some parts of England retain forms of the Tripartite System, and there are also a few surviving grammar schools in otherwise comprehensive areas. Some of the remaining grammar schools can trace their histories to before the 16th century.
from wikipedia
There are still 164 state-run grammar schools in existence.[27] Only a few areas keep a formal grammar school system along the lines of the Tripartite System. In these areas, the eleven plus exam is used solely to identify a subset of children (around 25%) considered suitable for grammar education. When a grammar school has too many qualified applicants, other criteria are used to allocate places, such as siblings, distance or faith. Such systems still exist in Buckinghamshire, Rugby and Stratford districts of Warwickshire, the Salisbury district of Wiltshire, Stroud in Gloucestershire and most of Lincolnshire, Kent and Medway.[28][29] Of metropolitan areas, Trafford and most of Wirral are selective.[30][31]
In other areas, grammar schools survive mainly as very highly selective schools in an otherwise comprehensive county, for example in several of the outer boroughs of London. In some LEAs, as few as 2% of 11 year olds may attend grammar schools. These schools are often heavily over-subscribed, and award places in rank order of performance in their entry tests. They also tend to dominate the top positions in performance tables.[32]

Why It Is Essential To Keep Your Desire To Learn
Why It Is Essential To Keep Your Desire To Learn
Essential reasons to keep your desire to learn. Have you ever pondered upon how essential learning is to your life in terms of your ability to not only survive but also to thrive both professionally and personally? Becoming a lifelong learner is important to your health, your success, and your happiness, but if that is not enough reason to learn more then consider these three essential reasons to keep your desire to learn and to live and learn.
Change is healthy. Change is healthy for your diet, your physical well being, your mental state, and your brain's health. While change is not always comfortable its benefits usually far outweigh its challenges. We know change is good for us but that doesn't make it easy to force ourselves to change.
Learning can decrease your weaknesses. Most of us spend a lot of time and effort trying to conceal or compensate for our weaknesses when that time would be much better spent simply learning more about that particular aspect of our lives and learning how we can decrease that weakness. Perhaps with time and effort that weakness can become a strength.
Learning keeps your mind sharp. Study after study shows that when it comes to the brain it really is use it or lose it. Challenging your brain by learning new skills and experiencing new things can foster brain growth and development no matter what your age. One of the reasons why young children's brains grow at such a rapid rate is because they are constantly learning new things. As we grow older we tend to slow and even stop learning which is damaging to our brains.
These are just three essential reasons to keep your desire to learn that should give you food for thought and hopefully start you on the road to learning more and improving yourself today, tomorrow, and all the tomorrows to come. Now go forth and live and learn so you too can reap the benefits of becoming a lifelong learner!

The Power of Positive Thinking
learning - The Power of Positive Thinking
The Power of Positive Thinking is the title of a best-selling book by the late Norman Vincent Peale. Thousands of people claim that the Power of Positive Thinking was a major factor in achieving their success.
Is it really the biggest factor in becoming successful?
Recent studies have shown that attitude, above education and other factors, has the biggest impact on your future success. If you have dreams that you want to achieve, you better start by evaluating your attitude.
Having a positive attitude and becoming a positive thinker is the most important step you can take in achieving your dreams. The best part is that it is relatively easy to become a positive thinker. It is just a matter of changing your habits of thought.
Positive thinking just requires that you change the way you handle the circumstances of your life. You want to start paying attention to the thoughts that you have throughout the day. Most of us have an internal monologue that goes through our minds during the day. Have you ever paid close attention to those thoughts?
Make it a habit to start monitoring your thoughts. Notice how many times in the day you are feeling discouraged, critical, sad, depressed or any one of many negative emotions. To set yourself up for better success, you’ve got to start thinking more positively.
When you become a positive thinker, you do not let one bad event ruin the rest of your day, or worse, the rest of your life. So many people walk around with a chip on their shoulder, and most of them do not even have a right to be mad. They are holding onto trivial matters and making themselves miserable.
Embrace the power of positive thinking by releasing those grudges. Allow yourself to react to bad events in your life, but pick yourself up again and keep on going toward your goal. Do not hold onto those bad feelings, and do not make yourself miserable. There is no point in holding onto those negative thoughts.

The Power of Positive Thinking is the title of a best-selling book by the late Norman Vincent Peale. Thousands of people claim that the Power of Positive Thinking was a major factor in achieving their success.
Is it really the biggest factor in becoming successful?
Recent studies have shown that attitude, above education and other factors, has the biggest impact on your future success. If you have dreams that you want to achieve, you better start by evaluating your attitude.
Having a positive attitude and becoming a positive thinker is the most important step you can take in achieving your dreams. The best part is that it is relatively easy to become a positive thinker. It is just a matter of changing your habits of thought.
Positive thinking just requires that you change the way you handle the circumstances of your life. You want to start paying attention to the thoughts that you have throughout the day. Most of us have an internal monologue that goes through our minds during the day. Have you ever paid close attention to those thoughts?
Make it a habit to start monitoring your thoughts. Notice how many times in the day you are feeling discouraged, critical, sad, depressed or any one of many negative emotions. To set yourself up for better success, you’ve got to start thinking more positively.
When you become a positive thinker, you do not let one bad event ruin the rest of your day, or worse, the rest of your life. So many people walk around with a chip on their shoulder, and most of them do not even have a right to be mad. They are holding onto trivial matters and making themselves miserable.
Embrace the power of positive thinking by releasing those grudges. Allow yourself to react to bad events in your life, but pick yourself up again and keep on going toward your goal. Do not hold onto those bad feelings, and do not make yourself miserable. There is no point in holding onto those negative thoughts.
Positive thinking is not about being detached from reality. It is about taking charge of your reality, and taking charge of your thoughts. Whatever you concentrate on for most of the day is what you will create in your life. If you are concentrating on the negative, guess what you will get more of?

what is a verb ?
The verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence. A verb or compound verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events, or states of being. The verb or compound verb is the critical element of the predicate of a sentence.
In each of the following sentences, the verb or compound verb is highlighted:
- Dracula bites his victims on the neck.
The verb "bites" describes the action Dracula takes.
- In early October, Giselle will plant twenty tulip bulbs.
Here the compound verb "will plant" describes an action that will take place in the future.
- My first teacher was Miss Crawford, but I remember the janitor Mr. Weatherbee more vividly.
In this sentence, the verb "was" (the simple past tense of "is") identifies a particular person and the verb "remembered" describes a mental action.
- Karl Creelman bicycled around the world in 1899, but his diaries and his bicycle were destroyed.
In this sentence, the compound verb "were destroyed" describes an action which took place in the past.
=======================================
Verbs describe (i) an action, (ii) a state or (iii) an occurrence:-
- As an action word, it is something that you do, like walk or play or eat.
- As a state of being: "My name is John. I am 20 years old. I am Caucasian and my girlfriend looks gorgeous! And she has a heart of gold!"
- As an occurrence/happening: "The snow glistened on the trees tops."
TYPES OF VERBS: There are two types of verbs, regular and irregular.
With regular verbs, the past and perfect forms end with '~ed', e.g. talk/talked.
Irregular verbs don't end their past and perfect forms with '~ed'. They change quite differently e.g. speak/spoke/spoken, sing/sang/sung.
ACTION VERBS are something that someone or something is doing, such as run, talk, play, go, cook, speak, etc.
For example, in the phrase: "He is running", the two words 'is running' is the present continuous form of the verb 'to run'.
Here are a few more examples:
- They slept late that day.
- It slid off the shelf.
- Safa played with her toys.
- She screamed as loudly as she could.
AUXILIARY VERBS: Auxiliary verbs are words that "help" the verb. e.g.
- In the sentence "I will run", 'will' is the helping verb, making it into a future form of the verb to run.
- In the sentence "I have run", 'have' is the helping verb, changing the main verb 'run' into it's present perfect form.
The verbs to be, to have and to do are used as auxiliary verbs. Their present, past, singular and plural forms all being used as appropriate.
Modal Auxiliary Verbs: can, could, may, might, would, shall, should, must, ought to.
Examples:
- I must visit my grandmother.
- You ought to do more exercise.
- Ben can ride a bike.
- My Uncle might come on Sunday.
- I could help you with your homework, but I don't know if I should (help you with your homework.)
