Open Source Ecology How to write letters of recommendation for high-school students | The White Rhino: A Chicago Latino English Teacher I hate this time of year. Week after week, my email is flooded with requests for letters of recommendation. It's not my students' fault. And I doubt these letters play a role anyway. One highly competitive college asks teachers to address the following questions in our evaluation: Has the student demonstrated a willingness to take intellectual risks and go beyond the normal classroom experience? Isn't this information that the student has already provided in one of the essays or somewhere else in the application? Many teachers work with students brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and building confidence so all of the information in the prompts above is usually revealed in the student's application. Yes, some students are on their own like I was back in 1990 when I filled out one college application. If a student is still on his or her own, the college gets enough other data to make a decision. To survive in teaching, I've learned to problem solve. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
What About the Lunar Sabbath? | Sabbath Truth In the last decade several persons have approached me with data that they understood to promote lunar Sabbath calculation. This new and fascinating theory suggests that the seven day week was reset after each new moon. (And as a result, the Sabbath would always fall on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of a given lunar monthi.) A large electronic advertising campaign promoting this view has been conducted continuously for years. And the result is that many persons now keep a Sabbath that happens, generally, on neither Saturday nor Sunday. I say “generally” because they keep their Sabbath on a different day of our calendar each month. Practically, this means that while there are seven days from Sabbath to Sabbath in the calendars of the whole planet, it isn’t always so for the believers in this theory. I have concluded that the data in support of this idea is faulty. The Assertions First, let me summarize the nature of evidence that I have seen so far as given in support of the idea.

Ryukan, Kota 'Ajaib' yang Tak Kena Sinar Matahari Mereka memasang cermin raksasa di gunung agar bisa menangkap sinar matahari dan memantulkannya ke kota itu. Dream - Akibat tak pernah mendapat sinar matahari selama 6 bulan dalam setahun, kota kecil Ryukan di kaki Gunung Gaustatoppen, Norwegia punya ide unik. Curamnya lereng pegunungan di sekitarnya benar-benar menghalangi sinar matahari menerangi kota Ryukan. Terhitung setiap tahun mulai September hingga Maret yang merupakan musim dingin, daerah Rjukan sama sekali tidak mendapat sinar matahari. Dahulu, warga Ryukan memanfaatkan gondola yang akan mengangkut mereka ke area yang mendapat sinar matahari di bagian atas pegunungan. Namun sejak diresmikannya Proyek Solspeil atau Cermin Matahari di atas Ryukan pada 2013, warga tidak perlu naik ke atas menggunakan gondola untuk merasakan hangatnya sinar matahari. Proyek Solspeil sebenarnya ide dari pendiri kota ini, Sam Eyde sejak 1913. Daftarkan email anda untuk berlangganan berita terbaru kami
Feast Your Eyes on This Beautiful Linguistic Family Tree 552K 18.4KShare337 When linguists talk about the historical relationship between languages, they use a tree metaphor. An ancient source (say, Indo-European) has various branches (e.g., Romance, Germanic), which themselves have branches (West Germanic, North Germanic), which feed into specific languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian). Lessons on language families are often illustrated with a simple tree diagram that has all the information but lacks imagination. Also worth checking out is the page before the tree, where she gives a comparison chart of words in the Nordic languages, and illustrates what an outlier Finnish is with the concept of “meow.” You can order a poster version here.

How to Teach Yourself Anything in Less Than Three Months Self-education can be wonderful and frustrating at the same time. If you go about it correctly, you can teach yourself anything in just a few months. Poorly applied, however, self-education can be a stressful nightmare. I’d like to share my tips to achieve the former and avoid the latter. My self-education has been fairly extensive. I taught myself how to program computers, create graphics (3-D and 2-D), how to design web pages and blog. Self-education is good for just about any branch of knowledge or skills you want to acquire. Learn a new language. Learning something in only three months takes a bit more than casual trial-and-error. Know the end.
