Reduce Reuse Recycle

In recent times the world has witnessed global warming, climate change and natural disasters of unprecedented proportions. According to spiritual research, the primary cause of global warming is a cyclic process that occurs in the Universe over time. The effects of global warming we have so far witnessed are just the beginning of a destructive phase which will increase in intensity over the next 5-10 years. The destructive phase of a cycle can be worsened by humankind’s poor behavior towards nature. The poor behavior which we see nowadays is an outcome of the reduced spiritual consciousness of humans and resultant inability to gain protection against the influence of negative energies. Spiritual practice is the only way to truly transform our spiritually polluted mind into a pure one. They are 3 things that we can do to save the earth.

                Today there are 5 people presentation. Each person has mistaken about lesson plan. They don’t know how to write enabling objectives and terminal objectives. When they write enabling objectives and terminal objectives wrong, they cannot achieve for teaching including evaluation because it isn’t relevance. If we know it, we can write lesson plan correctly.

      Enabling objectives come from indicator what teacher would like students to know first and terminal objectives are what students can do after they finish study. For example, enabling objective you write: students will be able to understand preposition. Terminal objective you write: students will be able to ask and answer question about the direction of place. If you can write like this, you can evaluate students correctly.

      In conclusion, enabling objectives are different from terminal objectives. You should plan your teaching that activities are smooth and choose only 1 content to teach. If someone can do like this, you will get the good point and good teaching.

Don’t Be Fat

         Americans are getting fat. A new study says that most Americans are too fat. Is that true? Look at the people around you. Are most of them fat? Are most of them thin? Or are most of them in between? Many fat people get sick. They die young. Doctors say these people can live longer. They must eat more fruits and vegetables. They must eat less meat. They must eat more fish. They must eat less fried food. They must not eat at fast food restaurants. No more cheeseburgers, and no more French fries. They must eat less bread and less pasta. If they eat less, they will weigh less. But Americans must also exercise. They must walk more. They don’t have to run or jog. They don’t have to climb stairs. All they have to do is walk. Just walk 30 minutes a day. Is that hard to do? Eat less. Walk more. Live longer. It sounds easy. But people love to eat. Eating is fun. Food is delicious. So it’s not easy to eat less. Try to do it. It’s hard to do.

Coffee Is Generally Heart-Friendly

But it may be linked to a slight rise in high blood pressure, researchers say

 Coffee drinkers can take heart from a series of studies presented this week at American Heart Association conferences in San Francisco. For example, coffee drinkers appear to have a lower risk of hospitalization for abnormal heart rhythms. And there's no indication that having a few cups every day increases the risk of atherosclerosis, the thickening of blood vessel walls that can lead to heart attacks and other problems. What's more, something in coffee other than caffeine might be responsible for a reduced risk of diabetes for women who regularly imbibe java. But it may be linked to a slight rise in high blood pressure

The heart rhythm research looked at the rate at which 130,054 members of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program were hospitalized for heart rhythm disturbances. About 2 percent of them had hospital stays because of such abnormalities, the most common being atrial fibrillation. But the risk was 18 percent lower for those who reported drinking four or more cups of coffee a day, compared to those who didn't drink coffee, said Dr. Arthur Klatsky, a senior consultant in cardiology for the program, who led the study.

"It might be a surprise, because coffee does give some people the jitters," Klatsky said. "And I don't think we're ready to tell people they should drink coffee to prevent heart rhythm problems."

The study didn't offer any reason why coffee might reduce heart rhythm problems, Klatsky said. "It could be that coffee drinkers have better diets or exercise more. We can't say for sure that it might not be related to minor heart rhythm problems that don't require hospitalization."

The bottom line: "Coffee drinkers don't have to quit because they have heart rhythm problems," Klatsky said. "That's about as far as we can go."

Another study that has followed more than 3,000 men and women for 20 years found no association between coffee consumption and atherosclerosis for just about every demographic group -- men and women, blacks and whites, smokers and nonsmokers. Participants in the study included people whose coffee consumption ranged from none to more than four cups a day.

The third study, based on a report from the long-running Women's Health Study, provided a possible explanation for a lower incidence of type 2 diabetes -- the kind that generally develops later in life -- among coffee drinkers. Researchers compared 359 post-menopausal women newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and 359 women without the disease. They found that women who drank four or more cups of caffeinated coffee a day had a 56 percent lower risk of developing the condition than those who did not drink coffee.

That reduced risk appears to be due to the effects of caffeine on a protein that binds to sex hormones, said Dr. Atsushi Goto, of the University of California, Los Angeles, who presented the report. But the finding is preliminary and requires further study, Goto added.

The report linking consumption of one to three cups of coffee a day with a slightly increased risk of high blood pressure came from Dr. Liwei Chen, assistant professor of epidemiology at the Louisiana State University School of Public Health, using data from six studies that included more than 172,000 participants.

"Based on our results, long-term coffee drinking might be a risk factor for hypertension, but the effect is very moderate," Chen said. "We definitely need more research and evidence to clarify our findings based on the meta-analysis of published prospective studies. Meanwhile, I think it is important for people to consider lowering their coffee drinking if they are concerned about their blood pressure."

      Today, my friends present about teaching. I listen and look for presentation because it’s very important for me. I will apply some information for my teaching. Someone can teach well but someone cannot.

      Teaching must be students as center focus. Lesson plan must have a clear purpose.  My teacher said you must prepare yourself before you teaching because it well for you and you must know what you teach to clear because you can write objective of the lesson to correctly.

      When I present I will apply some information for my teaching. I will practice myself to prepare for teaching and I will change my lesson plan to correctly.
