by rory McLeod  [ 2007-08-10 ] Here is a good promotion if you are with a station that is not got a glamorous football club on its doorstep. by Jackie Giuliano [ 2007-07-25 ] A recent study found that when people are made to think and read quickly, they report feeling happier as a result. They also say they are more energetic, more creative, more powerful, and more self-assured. In short, they reported a whole set of experiences associated with being "manic." Fast thinking, or "racing thoughts," is most commonly known as a symptom of the clinical psychiatric disorder of mania. But, according to Princeton University psychologist Emily Pronin, most healthy people also have experienced racing thoughts at some point in time--perhaps when they are excited about a new idea they have just learned, or when they are brainstorming with a group of people, or even when they lie in bed unable to fall asleep. by Jill Shu  [ 2007-07-18 ] For children, the ability of using the computer is becoming fundamental in nowadays, so learning to type is must for them. But most children get bored with any repetitious task and give up or whine and even want to stop, parents or teachers always feel nothing else bother them more than when children face the keyboard and have absolutely no idea where the keys are or how they go about typing. They just "play" with the keyboard. This is a waste of time for them and, worse, children get into the bad habit of typing with two fingers. So parents or teachers have to face how to solve this problem. by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2007-04-28 ] Space Shuttle Disaster is one of the anticipated catastrophes for space travel. Some Space Shuttle Disasters are avoidable wile others are unavoidable leading to destruction of the shuttle and death of all the Astronauts. The Bible does not mention any of the Space disaster while the Quran tells us about the unavoidable Space disasters. by Dr. Ibrahim Khalil  [ 2007-04-16 ] The Bible says the Lord commands the Israelites to Repent from all their transgressions. However, the Bible says that they did not repent.
Instead of them, the Lord himself was the one who always repents.
Moses said to the Lord: repent and do not bring disaster on your people, Then the LORD repented. David said to the Lord: Repent, Have compassion on your servants, Then the LORD repented. Joel and Jonah said to the Lord: repent of the evil, and God repented of the evil. The Lord sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it, Then He repented. Also, the Lord said: If the people repent and obey, I will repent.
However, it seems likely that the Lord usually repented. Nevertheless, the Lord asks: Should I repent? But, What if the Lord does not repent? He will bend and string his bow and struck down nations in fury subdued with aggression. The nations should be careful because the Lord have decided and will not repent.
Nonetheless, the Bible says that God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent
On the other hand, the Quran declares that Allah cannot be questioned for His acts, but they will be questioned (for theirs); and He never ever repents. It is the man who will be asked about his acts. Also, the Quran gives three examples of the most famous Historical Repents and they are 1) Adam's son, 2) People after Noah and 3) Thamud people. Also, the Quran says that the Hypocrites will certainly repent in the Afterlife. And, the Quran gives an advice to the Believers in order not to repent.

Bottom line, don’t begin your resume with an objective statement that talks only about your desires and career goals. Most Human Resource Professionals are overworked and understaffed.

A lead is a short story or anecdote (or part of one) at the beginning of your writing. Often in narrative form, this short story may be fictional or true, or even from the author's personal experience. by Gina J Hiatt Ph.D.  [ 2006-04-20 ] I know what I need to do; why do I need to write it down? You may have fallen into the trap of thinking this way. And hey, if it works for you, that’s great!
I find, however, that many people with too much to do, or with large projects looming in front of them get into a state of complete overload because they haven’t prepared themselves by keeping very simple action-item lists. by Jim Greenberg  [ 2006-04-02 ]

by Josh Greenberger  [ 2006-01-18 ] Is evolution incompatible with faith in god? Does it pose a problem in the classroom?
by Frank Holes  [ 2006-01-17 ] Much has been said and written lately about providing students with choices. I'm all about any methods which will improve student involvement in class, giving them ownership in their learning. There are many ways to give students choices, options, or just to provide random results and change up the monotony. This article will discuss how to use random results in typical class situations. by Frank Holes  [ 2005-12-28 ] Everyone gets those situations in life where an emergency has come up, and you don't have the time (or sometimes the ability) to get a good lesson plan in to school for your students. Maybe you have a family emergency or a disrupted travel plan and you just cannot get into school to leave detailed lessons. That is why it is essential for you to have an emergency lesson plan available and handy. by Frank Holes  [ 2005-10-26 ] Once the hectic pace of the first day of school is over, you'll want to get your students off and writing 'on the right foot'.

Establishing good habits and skill sets, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem at the time, will prove to reap massive rewards in the long run. by Roger Seip  [ 2005-08-11 ] All the test taking tips in the world won’t help if the student doesn’t study. But the reward of seeing “A’s” and “B’s” on tests shouldn’t only go to students who are “good” at taking tests. It’s normal to get nervous, but as long as you’re prepared, rested, full on a healthy breakfast (but not too full) and confident, the stress will disappear with each answered question. by Roger Seip  [ 2005-08-11 ] Improving your study environment is a seemingly common sense improvement, but is overlooked by many parents. By making this effort you will be setting your student on a track for improved study habits that will stay with them and yield results for years to come. by Frank Holes  [ 2005-08-04 ] It's time that we give students some credit and empower them to become self-directed learners.
