data presented by dr. mark mcdaniel, professor of psychology at washington university in st. louis, showed us that memorization and repetition dont support long-term retention, but these are the methods were most likely to pursue as individuals when it comes time to try to learn.
for example, when we first learn addition, well practice that particular skill with a series of exercises of increasing complexity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STEM_fields
STEM is an acronym referring to the academic disciplines of science , technology , engineering , and mathematics . [1] The term is typically used in the USA when addressing education policy and curriculum choices in schools from k-12 through college to improve competitiveness in technology development. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy. [1]

Data presented by Dr. Mark McDaniel, professor of psychology at Washington University in St. Louis, showed us that memorization and repetition don’t support long-term retention, but these are the methods we’re most likely to pursue as individuals when it comes time to try to learn. For example, when we first learn addition, we’ll practice that particular skill with a series of exercises of increasing complexity. This is also true for subtraction, multiplication and division. But it’s also true of art history: we learn to recognize the styles of great masters by looking at their work as a collection. We approach learning in blocks and it’s organized and straightforward. But this organized state might actually be hurting us. Learning to add against other mathematical equations may help us craft a story or experience that we can draw on later. A mixed approach allows us to be better at contextualizing real world examples that aren’t as clearly defined as our textbooks. Falling back to ordered approaches is a reasonable response to problem-solving—and that’s essentially what we’re asking students to do. One of McDaniel’s more salient’s points is that educators spend a great deal of time prepping students to learn, but then send them out to engage in learning on their own. If learning were a sport, students would have coaches, much as they do if they play baseball or basketball, but when it comes to learning there are no coaches. This isn’t due to a question of resources or efficiency although it’s easy to make that argument; instead, this seems seated in the social value placed in individual agency.
Education isn’t a team endeavor. While all students face the same curriculum, their performance is judged against each other; a diploma is an outcome that leads to a job. Education is separated from life—which perhaps is why working students sometimes struggle. This sense of the individual permeates almost everything touched by Western culture. Science, too, doesn’t always celebrate teams, though there seems to be a shift occurring in this area. It feels like a very singular, lonely pursuit. It’s the means to an outcome in the form of a job. But citizen science initiatives are showing us a different way: science and learning can happen outside of the laboratory and can connect people in novel ways. In these arenas, STEM emerges as a life skill, and excites passion and discussion in wider groups. Tapping into this conversation, will mean breaking pedestals—are we comfortable with that?
Backlash over the common core demonstrates how unsettling changes can be, but as Dr. Julia Phelan, Senior Researcher and Project Director at UCLA/CRESST said, “we’re living in the sandbox.” It would be ideal if we had a place to test methodology, but there is only the here and now, so we have to be willing to try. What does that mean? Beyond the usual complaints about laptops in the classroom, we have to look to use technology in new ways. For example, Arizona State University piloted a math ............
as some already know or perhaps guessed i'm interested in jung's ideas on the psyche, have been since a teenager and then the jws got me at and closed my mind.
after leaving mental "the truth" in my forties, my intrest renewed very quickly, a post leolia made to me on some subject unknowingly gave me my first prod, thanks leo.. well i was exploring my mind soon as i left the jw with some lengthy excursions into being a semi hermit in order to give myself over to much inner time, it even feels a bit selfish to do now so i gave it up,, for how long?
still probing but at a reduced rate.. jung studied all the religions, and all the ancient text he could get his hands on, and his knowedge of mythology was extensive.so he also is very understanding of what is enlightenment, as he said the experiences he had with the unconscious nearly tore him apart but he manged to survive it without loosing his sanity, jung also said that he was surprised at how much of the unconscious the buddha had made conscious without going insane.
Well thank you mr. Mann for your .02$ . So just because he's got long hair he's woo in your book? Or is their something you take issue with?
Basically I find his theory about shrinking the negative side of the emotional center of the Limpic system interesting and might offer an explaination of the Buddha's enlightenment and the main subject theme of "ending all suffering" that pervade Buddhist thought. Also the sense of self disappears when one become's enlighten to the point of "ending all suffering", and his explainations intriguing. But that is all pretty much woo woo to you you.

when people visit their site they leave a cookie foot print.
the governing body as dutiful ceos need to examine this bit of information closely so as to see where these visitors have been before comming to their site.
they need to find out what apostate sites they are visiting.
Thanks for the cookie low down.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie
Although cookies cannot carry viruses, and cannot install malware on the host computer, [2] tracking cookies and especially third-party tracking cookies are commonly used as ways to compile long-term records of individuals' browsing histories—a potential privacy concern that prompted European [3] and U.S. law makers to take action in 2011. [4] [5] Cookies can also store passwords and form content a user has previously entered, such as a credit card number or an address. When a user accesses a website with a cookie function for the first time, a cookie is sent from server to the browser and stored with the browser in the local computer. Later when that user goes back to the same website, the website will recognize the user because of the stored cookie with the user's information. [6]
Other kinds of cookies perform essential functions in the modern web. Perhaps most importantly, authentication cookies are the most common method used by web servers to know whether the user is logged in or not, and which account they are logged in with. Without such a mechanism, the site would not know whether to send a page containing sensitive information, or require the user to authenticate themselves by logging in. The security of an authentication cookie generally depends on the security of the issuing website and the user's web browser, and on whether the cookie data is encrypted. Security vulnerabilities may allow a cookie's data to be read by a hacker, used to gain access to user data, or used to gain access (with the user's credentials) to the website to which the cookie belongs (see cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery for examples). [7]
First-party cookies are cookies that belong to the same domain that is shown in the browser's address bar (or that belong to the sub domain of the domain in the address bar). Third-party cookies are cookies that belong to domains different from the one shown in the address bar. Web pages can feature content from third-party domains (such as banner ads), which opens up the potential for tracking the user's browsing history. Privacy setting options in most modern browsers allow the blocking of third-party tracking cookies.
As an example, suppose a user visits www.example1.com . This web site contains an advert from ad.foxytracking.com , which, when downloaded, sets a cookie belonging to the advert's domain ( ad.foxytracking.com ). Then, the user visits another website, www.example2.com , which also contains an advert from ad.foxytracking.com , and which also sets a cookie belonging to that domain ( ad.foxytracking.com ). Eventually, both of these cookies will be sent to the advertiser when loading their ads or visiting their website. The advertiser can then use these cookies to build up a browsing history of the user across all the websites that have ads from this advertiser.
Tracking
Tracking cookies may be used to track internet users' web browsing. This can also be done in part by using the IP address of the computer requesting the page or the referrer field of the HTTP request header, but cookies allow for greater precision. This can be demonstrated as follows:
- If the user requests a page of the site, but the request contains no cookie, the server presumes that this is the first page visited by the user; the server creates a random string and sends it as a cookie back to the browser together with the requested page;
- From this point on, the cookie will automatically be sent by the browser to the server every time a new page from the site is requested; the server sends the page as usual, but also stores the URL of the requested page, the date/time of the request, and the cookie in a log file.
By analyzing the log file collected in the process, it is then possible to find out which pages the user has visited, in what sequence, and for how long.
do you feel the counseling demands placed on elders are fair and scriptural?.
i live in an economically depressed industial city.
my dad is an elder in a lower income black congregation.
Those in a delusional state of mind are hardly in a position/qualified to offer good/appropriate council for the mentally ill or clinically depressed but can refer them to those qualified(therapist). But even a broken clock is right 2x in a 24 hour day, so even a elder caught up in the Watchtower Corporation's collective delusions can give appropriate council every now and then with the same type of accuracy every once in a while, like perhaps about .1% of the time, and even higher if they deviate from the WT Cororation's suggested advice and loathing of psychology(going to a psychologist is concidered as defeat for 'true christians'/Brain dead JWs*.
http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/quotes/psychiatry.php
*Awake! 1960 March 8 p.27
"As a rule, for a Christian to go to a worldly psychiatrist is an admission of defeat, it amounts to 'going down to Egypt for help.' Isaiah 31:1. Often when a Witness of Jehovah goes to a psychiatrist, the psychiatrist will try to persuade him that his troubles are caused by his religion, entirely overlooking the fact that the Christian witnesses of Jehovah are the best-oriented, happiest and most contented group of people on the face of the earth. They have the least need for psychiatrists. Also, more and more psychiatrists are resorting to hypnosis, which is a demonic form of worldly wisdom."

it will obviously make a difference to how jw's obtain their literatrash, they will have to download and print it all themselves before long.. it will make a small difference to the dtod work, they will now refer even genuine questions and interest etc to the site, not taking the opportunity to "witness" on the initial call at all.
this has been happening already to a degree.. the difference i am mainly interested in is the capture of new suckers in to the borg.. we will be able to see when we get 2014's figures, sometime next year, what the rate of increase was over the last ten years.. phizzy the prophet predicts that the rate of increase over the next ten years will not be significantly up.
probably down, but certainly, i feel, not so different from the last ten.. should i be around in ten years to do so, i will wish to ask jw's:.
I wonder if any people are trying to hack the JW.org site?

Unique requests for a bible study might not even be a really useful number. They've not got a captcha on the request form, and I'm sure there's a few "requests" from appostates that aren't genuine. You'd have to filter those out first.
So lets get to it all you IT guys and make 1000s of requests for bible studdies useing a bot. It is an easy fix so come on and have some fun before they fix it.
