    It has been, at this time of writing, twenty eight, (28) days since Donald Trump became President of the United States, (POTUS).

    People voted for him for various reasons; some were racists and xenophobes, some […]

    • There is a saying that birds of the same feather flocks together so it is not surprising that some people will support an empty barrel because they themselves are empty. How can educated people follow a man whose words are not even coordinated. He speak lies and they take it as truth. this is where america will break up and terrorism will hit america soon.

      • It is part of the dumbing down process. Americans have gotten dumber and dumber over the years until they can elect someone stupider than they are. The fact is, he’ll bring America into such derision that it will take a long time for it to recover.

    kaylar wrote a new post, How to Study for Exams 7 years, 9 months ago

    I was in the supermarket and a young man who works there is currently in University.  He has those exams every so often and the usual terror.   I told him what to do, and hopefully he will follow this advice.   […]

    • Noting down in the classroom and again rewriting with all decorations and necessary techniques using circles in place of a dot, underlying the important information may be useful to get it back into your memory during an examination may be a good idea.But it works in lower classes only. Once you catch up the steps one by one in the ladder of education system it becomes a herculean task which needs covering various subjects.

      • You’re wrong. It works in Law School, which is pretty much at the very top of the hill when it comes to hard subjects, a lot of information, and needing to think. It works.

    • All the techniques used in school studies help to keep in mind all that have been learnt in the process of teaching.The use of personal diction is not ruled out.At times the use of symbols and unique writings help only the student.

    • Note-taking also works well for me. And even when I’m done with school, I still do a lot of note-taking for research and article writing. Handwriting and copying important lines helps reinforce my understanding of the text.

    • I do that when I was in college. I rewrite all that I have taken notes in the classes I attended.

      Then after rewriting , I would read them aloud. That way, I am already at least putting them in my mind.

      Like you said, I put highlights in those I think are important. My highlights are of different colors. Color coding as it is said.

      Pink would be the most important items and should be memorized.
      Green would be those that need not be memorized but should be understood on how they are like that.

      I also take time to relax after I have reviewed what I have written. I listen to music after that, or watch a nice show or eat.

    • I need not to take exam anymore for the time being and the past ten years , I only busy with napkin and breastfeeding, haha!

      Anyway, I love and miss those study time when I was a student, reading and studying is the most enjoyable task in my life.

      I might go back to school for further study in the future. But, e-learning is more common nowadays!

      • Even if it is elearning you want your Beat Book, you want to sit outside on the beach or in the garden, and relax and learn.

    • The best way for me to study was to re-write everything i wrote in class. The more i wrote, the more i memerized. I would sometimes just read the material various times to memerize but it was easier to memerize when i would write it down.

      Your method is also a good way to. If you have a specific way to write things down that will help you learn then it becomes easier to study also.

      When i was still in school i didn’t study that hard because i was a fast learner and i would just re-write my notes for coleagues and that would be my study session.

    Some people don’t care.   They copy, paste, and post.   Some do a touch of tweeking before posting.  Some are so afraid that if they are about to write about “The Value of Cow’s Milk” and see an item with the sa […]

    • Your write up is well understood.I get worried over people who use other people’s work without acknowledging them.However,giving honour to whom it is due is discipline and good knowledge.

      • When you quote someone, and give attribution, it is not plagiarism. Saying; “This Book was written by…” is surely not you taking credit so is totally legal.

    • Very well written my friend.

      I must say, I am not into writing posts that have facts because that indeed needs some facts that are easy to read on the internet. Though I know copying them would be plagiarizing. I might get some facts but give credit to where I get it and that’s not plagiarizing.

      As to pictures, I suppose those freely displayed on google and credit google for it are free for use pictures?

      Thank you for clearly explaining about these things.

      • It is perfectly legal to use facts found anywhere as long as you admit it. If I am quoting CNN or a reporter, or a definition, I give the attribution which immediately sidesteps the issue.

    • I have heard a lot about South Africa and you post further increased my interest.It is for sure my next travel destination.

    • Just keep dreaming and one day it will be a reality

    • Africa is not in my bucket list because I am afraid of those wild animals they show in those discovery channels.

      Certainly, I would like to be near a place where there are wild animals specially during evenings.

      Though, I would also like to see those other animals that are not in any of the zoos here in the Philippines.

      I have seen a show where they ride a closed van and a tiger went into the van’s roof. Oh, that surely will give me a real scare. I am a very nervous person that’s why this kind of adventure is not for me.

      I would just be contented in seeing these animals at the internet. 🙂

      • You do not have to opt for those safari rides at all. Not all have a fascination for wildlife and you could be one of them.
