International Women's Day

Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacity and emotional strength; rather they are the real architects of society. Still there are some superiority complexed men who don’t accept this reality and consider women some inferior creature……………………… My this poem is only for those superiority complexed men and not for humane men.

Balanced diet

2009-09-02T09:41:00.000-07:00

A balanced diet means getting the right types and amounts of foods and drinks to supply nutrition and energy for maintaining body cells, tissues, and organs, and for supporting normal growth and development.

Alternative Names:
Well-balanced diet

Function:
A well-balanced diet provides enough energy and nutrition for optimal growth and development.

Food Sources:
Milk group (milk and milk products)
• Cheese
• Milk
• Yogurt
Meat and beans group
• Legumes (beans and peas)
• Meat (chicken, fish, beef, lamb)
• Nuts and seeds
Fruit group
• Apples
• Berries
• Grapes
• Peaches
Vegetable group
• Cauliflower
• Lettuce
• Spinach
• Squash
Grain group (breads and cereals)
• Enriched breads
• Pasta
• Rice
• Whole-grain breads
Oil
• Light salad dressing
• Low-fat mayonnaise
• Vegetable oil

Side Effects:
An unbalanced diet can cause problems with maintenance of:
• Body tissues
• Brain and nervous system function
• Growth and development
It can also cause problems with bone and muscle systems.

Recommendations:
The term "balanced" simply means that a diet meets your nutritional needs while not providing too much of any nutrients. To achieve a balanced diet, you must eat a variety of foods from each of the food groups.
There are several guidelines available to help you plan your balanced diet. They include:
• The Food Guide Pyramid
• The U.S. Dietary Guidelines (RDA guidelines)
General Guidelines
• Do not skip breakfast.
• Eat at least three meals each day.
• Eat foods from each of the food groups at every meal.
The most important step to eating a balanced diet is to educate yourself about what your body needs, and to read the nutrition label and ingredients of all the food you eat.
New dietary guidelines from the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA) recommend fewer calories and smarter food choices.
Some of the key recommendations:
• Follow a balanced diet that is low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, salt, and alcohol, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Eating Plan.
• Balance your calorie intake with exercise. Slowly decrease the amount of calories you take in while increasing exercise to prevent gradual weight gain over time. Exercise regularly and reduce activities in which you sit (such as watching TV).
• Eat 2 cups (4 servings) of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables (5 servings) per day for an average 2,000-calorie per day diet.
• Eat 3 or more ounces of whole-grain products per day.
• Consume 3 cups per day of fat-free or low-fat milk or milk products.
• Get fewer than 10% of calories from saturated fatty acids.
• Avoid trans fatty acids.
• Limit cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg/day.
• Make total fat intake no more than 20 - 35% of calories. Choose "good" fats such as fish, nuts, and vegetable oils containing polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Lean, low-fat, or fat-free meats, poultry, dry beans, and milk or milk products are preferable. Total fat intake can approach 35% if most of the fats are "good" fats.
• Stay away from added sugars.
• Consume fewer than 2,300 mg (approximately one teaspoon of salt) of sodium daily, and limit added salt when you prepare food.
• Do not consume more than 1 alcoholic drink per day for women, 2 per day for men.

Learning Skills

2009-06-01T23:42:00.000-07:00

Accelerated Learning was developed because we live in a world where the ability to absorb information rapidly and to think logically and creatively are the most important skills that you can possess.
So we have pioneered an innovative and successful approach to learning and adapted it for home study and web based learning programmes.
Accelerated Learning programmes are helping parents develop their pre-school children, students to get better results, and teachers and trainers to better motivate their learners using multiple intelligence techniques.
Accelerated Learning methods are also making learning another language easier and quicker than ever before. And they are giving organisations the competitive advantage of a faster learning workforce.

Theory of Multiple Intelligences

2009-06-01T23:16:00.000-07:00

"How would the proverbial Martian landing on Earth view the intelligence of the human species?" That's the provocative question asked by Harvard professor of education, Howard Gardner.
Would he (it?) demand to know individual IQs? Or would he (it) be interested in those humans performing exceptionally well in particular fields–the chess master, the orchestral conductor, perhaps even the athlete? These accomplished people are undoubtedly considered to be talented and intelligent. Why then do our methods of assessing intelligence often fail to identify them? Why is it that people with IQs of 160 end up working for people with IQs of 100?
Gardener developed the "Theory of Multiple Intelligences" which says, in effect, that IQ should not be measured as an absolute figure in the way that height, weight or blood pressure are. It's a crucial blunder, he maintains, to assume that IQ is a single fixed entity which can be measured by a pencil and paper test.
It's not how smart you are but how you are smart, says Gardner. As human beings, we all have a repertoire of skills, he says, for solving different kinds of problems. And he defines intelligence this way: "An intelligence is an ability to solve a problem or fashion a product which is valued in one or more cultural settings."
Gardner revealed his theory in his ground-breaking book "Frames of Mind" in which he outlined seven distinct intelligences. He subsequently added an eighth.
The Accelerated Learning Network has taken Gardner's theory and put it into practice, creating products for students of all ages. These products enable the student to learn according to his own learning preferences no matter how he is being taught. In addition, we run through a cycle of learning activities involving all Intelligences so that everyone has an equal opportunity to learn.
Here are the eight Intelligences:
Linguistic Intelligence
The ability to read , write and communicate with words. Authors, journalists, poets, orators and comedians are obvious examples of people with linguistic intelligence.
• Famous examples: Charles Dickens, Abraham Lincoln, T.S. Eliot, Sir Winston Churchill.
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
The ability to reason and calculate, to think things through in a logical, systematic manner. These are the kinds of skills highly developed in engineers, scientists, economists, accountants, detectives and members of the legal profession.
• Famous examples: Albert Einstein, John Dewey.
Visual-Spatial Intelligence
The ability to think in pictures, visualize a future result. To imagine things in your mind's eye. Architects, sculptors, sailors, photographers and strategic planners. You use it when you have a sense of direction, when you navigate or draw.
• Famous examples: Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright.
Musical Intelligence
The ability to make or compose music, to sing well, or understand and appreciate music. To keep rhythm. It's a talent obviously enjoyed by musicians, composers, and recording engineers. But most of us have a musical intelligence which can be developed. Think of how helpful it is to learn with a jingle or rhyme (e.g. "Thirty days has September...").
• Famous examples: Mozart, Leonard Bernstein, Ray Charles.
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
The ability to use your body skillfully to solve problems, create products or present ideas and emotions. An ability obviously displayed for athletic pursuits, dancing, acting, artistically, or in building and construction. You can include surgeons in this category but many people who are physically talented–"good with their hands"–don't recognize that this form of intelligence is of equal value to the other intelligences.
• Famous examples: Charlie Chaplin, Michael Jordan.
Interpersonal (Social) Intelligence
The ability to work effectively with others, to relate to other people, and display empathy and understanding, to notice their motivations and goals. This is a vital human intelligence displayed by good teachers, facilitators, therapists, politicians, religious leaders and sales people.
• Famous examples: Gandhi, Ronald Reagan, Mother Teresa, Oprah Winfrey.
Intrapersonal Intelligence
The ability for self-analysis and reflection–to be able to quietly contemplate and assess one's accomplishments, to review one's behavior and innermost feelings, to make plans and set goals, the capacity to know oneself. Philosophers, counselors, and many peak performers in all fields of endeavor have this form of intelligence.
• Famous examples: Freud, Eleanor Roosevelt, Plato.
In 1996, Gardner decided to add an eighth intelligence (Naturalist) and in spite of much speculation resisted the temptation to add a ninth–Spiritualist Intelligence.
Naturalist Intelligence
The ability to recognize flora and fauna, to make other consequential distinctions in the natural world and to use this ability productively–for example in hunting, farming, or biological science. Farmers, botanists, conservationists, biologists, environmentalists would all display aspects of the intelligence.
• Famous examples: Charles Darwin, E.O. Wilson.
Traditionally, academic subjects have been taught in ways that largely involve two intelligences–linguistic and logical-mathematical. Now consider what an IQ test basically measures–ability with words and numbers. So students who are naturally strong in linguistic and mathematical intelligences do well on the standard Stanford-Binet IQ test. Therefore, it's a fairly good predictor of success at school because the way we teach (lectures) and the material with which we deal (logically constructed books) depend heavily on these two intelligences. Since teachers are drawn from people who do well at school, it's a self-perpetuating system.
But is an IQ result a good predictor of happiness, of economic success, of success in relationships, of success in life? Not really. In a modern society, of course, linguistic and logical-mathematical ability are very important, but there are six other intelligences. It is when you marshal all of your intelligences that you really begin to use your full brain power.

Dengue Fever

2009-04-13T09:42:00.000-07:00

Dengue Fever is an illness caused by infection with a virus transmitted by the Aedes mosquito.
Headache, rash, prolonged fever are the symptoms of Dengue Fever
Dengue Fever (DF) and Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) are the most common mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. It can be fatal.
Characteristics of the Aedes Mosquito
One distinct physical feature – black and white stripes on its body and legs.
Bites during the day. Lays its eggs in clean, stagnant water.
Safety Measures
Cover all toilet bowls in your home. Seal off the overflow pipe of the flushing cistern.Cover all gully/floor traps. Add sand granular insecticide to places that mosquitoes could potentially breed, such as flower vases and places where stagnant water could not be removed. Clear blockages and add Bti insecticide in roof gutters. Turn over all water storage containers.
