People were made to have their likes and hates. I love, I like , I adore and I etc. People don't realize what these words can do, it may seem harmless but truly dangerous if used carelessly. If you say "I love your girlfriend," a smack in the face will be the reply. "I love your ugly nose," a slap will be delivered. Oh how words can hit, but nothing hits deeper than the words of Favoritism. When a father likes your sister more than you it drives you crazy, it makes you wanna tear her head off and remove her from the face of the Earth, however favoritism may bear hatred but it also bears fruitful lessons. A person becomes challenged from the jealousy she gains, in the end you gain unknown knowledge from all that rage of yours and instead of being lost and forgotten, you gain personal control and unbenkownst maturity. But, the down side of it all is not the hatred but the feeling of loneliness. People unnoticed become raged to the point it turns to loneliness. Don't mistake loneliness from being alone, no one is even alone in the beginning anyways. Your loneliness brings death to your noggin', nothing good comes out of it. People who make you feel this way don't have a clue about your inner thoughts nor your feelings, that's the worst of all. You battle this challenge alone, and feign a smile because you don't want them to have the idea of you being weak, it makes you sick of yourself. Jealousy, that's the word. A feeling born from praise, a hidden lock that's broken, a sickening remorse. Praise will only last with consistency in excellence but when that "consistency" falters, you break. People nurtured in that environment have a hard time accepting failure, but nonetheless utterly bittersweet. But, anyways that's what life is about anyway, there are people at the top and there are those at the bottom, it keeps balance. Oh, and another thing; Pride is a mark of a person's existence, it shows his/her uniqueness from others, but I beg to differ. Anyways, I am a mature person or so i speak. Therefore, I'l share this quotation to you from a book I recently read entitled, The Catcher In the Rye. It goes like this, "An immature person dies nobly for a cause but a mature person learns to live humbly with one." Do you get it? This is all for those deprived people out there, and it simply means learn to accept reality as it is no matter how twisted the principles.

Teachers have different methods of imparting knowledge to their students. Their way of teaching reflects their personality, experience, and their perception towards the subject. Likewise, the students’ learning depends on their attitude or character, on how they are oriented, and on their mentor’s strategy of relating the concepts to them. Hence, it is essential to know the different forms of teaching methods in order to provide the best quality of education.

Generally, there are two forms of teaching strategy, the traditional and the non-traditional. Traditional is the method which had been practiced before for many years. In this method, the teacher discusses the lesson and evaluates them in the form of a test. On the other hand, non-traditional method is a new technique based on the idea of constructivism proposed by famous psychologists. It comes in a different approach because it is more interactive and can be enjoyed by the pupils. In other words, students are encouraged to share their own ideas about the topic. In addition, they are given a task in the form of group dynamics which are proven to more effective than just staying in their seats.

Moreover, non-traditional technique can enhance more than one of the eight intelligences because of the various activities like creative writing, speaking, drawing, role-playing, dancing, etc. Unlike the traditional one, evaluation comes in a different manner like essays, portfolios, compilation of scholarly done works, or what else that can improve one’s talents and abilities. Thus, children are free of expressing their thoughts. Some methods utilize technology as a better means of learning.

In conclusion, a very efficient and effective technique must be implemented and must be practiced by the teachers to successfully facilitate students’ learning. In this manner, the quality of education will progress at a high rate, raising more productive and competent citizens. It should be a teaching strategy that can create a good learning environment, can promote the exposure of the youth to real world situations, and where everyone is free from expressing themselves.

“ Rain or shine, everything must go on.” My late grandmother never tires reminding me of this seemingly popular cliché. Moreover, it keeps ringing in my ears, never hunting, but instead, inspiring this once “little” girl, of the road that lies ahead. Although this maybe true, I love the rain and hate the sun but at times, I favor having sunshines than rainshowers.

When sunny days appear, there’s always a moment’s peace whom is sacredly calm and still, sprouts in my heart. I could smell how refreshing and relaxing the morning breeze is. I can hear the music of nature, welcoming the new day, moreover, a new start. When the blue skies and sun commence, my worries are swept away, and though unsure of the day’s surprises, there’s always enjoyment in its purest sense. I could envision through the clouds promises that are always worth the wait. Furthermore, in the gleaming rays, I can see my dreams. Sunny days give me a sense of optimism, of worth and of hope.

On the other hand, Earth cannot sustain life with sunshines alone; it needs rainshowers and cloudy skies. Rain may literally get us muddy, dirty and wet but the rain keeps our feet on the ground. The rain may halt us from doing work, not because it hinders, but once in a while, it wants us to stop and think before we act, to reminisce the past and to internalize what is right and wrong. Rainy days may make some parts of our lives cold, dark and dreary, however, into each life, some rain must fall. Some days must be dark and dreary. It makes us stronger. The rain could sympathize because it’s an emotion. A droplet is scarcely enough to mist your face but undeniably, it touches you somewhere, but when it comes pouring down, the emotion overcomes you.

Though sunny days and rainy days are definitely opposite, don’t they make a perfect pair? Sunny days inspire while rainy days strengthen. Sunshines help envision our dreams whereas raindrops make us remember who and what we are. Sunny days give us hope meanwhile rainy days make us realize our emotions. Therefore, both of them help us realize the value of life. Hence, when you’re drenched by this rain, pain might seem unbearable, but behind the clouds, the sun is still shining. There’s always a hope that after every rain, the sun would always shine, to drown with happiness all one’s bitterness.

            As my life in blissful innocence ends, my road to adulthood begins to bloom. I can hardly tell if Fate’s smiling or trying to feign a smirk that provokes me. But one thing’s for sure, it makes me think of Me. Not the Me now, nor the Me yesterday, but the Me tomorrow. However it may be vain, never evergreen, nonetheless because of this, Fate made its face clearer to me. It conspired to show me what I’ll be and not I’ll fail to be. Fate helped me prophesized my own personal legend, in contrast to its neglectful nature of giving turning points to destiny. Yet, we make the choices. People may blame Fate, but your ink is on the paper. What made me think of Me, as someone, not as Narcissus, neither Venus, but as Apollo; a messenger of destiny, a messenger of Me.

Me- the choices we made in life, the trials, the doubts, the original mistake...this is a embodiment of all this ideals.

Fate- a personification of the coincidences in life that we consider as a force that drives us to a particular happening which most people blame upon but actually a condensation of different Me's that creates an opposing force to a Me.

Email Pope Benedict XVI...By Heinz Tschabitscher, About.com

(i placed this since i found this interesting and even though it doesn't directly involves technological innovation it just shows the "innovation" in the VATICAN, that even priests and the POPE use EMAIL)

The email address of Pope Benedict XVI is benedictxvi@vatican.va. 

It is unlikely you will receive a personal response if you send an email to the pope, but the Holy See does read, collect and route all mail. The Pope possibly has another private email address inside the Vatican. 
Pope John Paul II, the First Pope of the Internet Age
When Karol Józef Wojtyla became Pope John Paul II in 1978, email was still in its infancy. The first email had been written seven years ago, but barely a handful of people knew computer networks existed at all. Yet, John Paul II became the first email-savvy pontiff in history. 

In late 2001, the pope reportedly apologized for injustices committed by the Roman Catholic Church in Oceania via email. Of course, the Holy Father would have preferred to visit the Pacific nations and deliver his words of penitence in person, but email was the second-best choice. 
What was John Paul II's Email Address?

Pope John Paul II's email address was john_paul_ii@vatican.va.

If Ninendo WII showcased innovation, PLAYSTATION 3 Brought the FUTURE. The playstation 3 is a gaming console and a successor to the late famous ps2, boasting power 40x better, not only does it innovate CPU power and GRAPHICS capability but it also brought the latest CD technology, the BLU-RAY.

The BLU-RAY boasts 50 gb of cd space which is the same as 71 700mb cds and 11 4.7gb DVDs. its appearance is the same as a DVD but uses a blue laser which increases the Blu-rays capabilities. The PS3 is often called a supercomputer since it contains 8 CPU's(cell broadband engine or commonly known as SPE's/synergistic processing elements) each with 3.2 Ghz of power. It is used by some scientists as a alternative supercomputer for doing their calculations and experiments like simulating nuclear explotions and the recent "FOLDING @HOME" project where it allows PS3 owners to lend the computing power of their consoles to help study the physical process of protein folding. Recently the Broadband engine of the PS3 has been used to power the fastest supercomputer today which is nicknamed, THE ROADRUNNER that has a processing power capable of processing one thousand trillion calculations per second making it 2x faster than the world's (was) fastest super computer, THE BLUE GENE by IBM. This PS3 is really a technical innovation and also a great home theater system that boasts HD quality pictures that provides 10x clearer images than regular TV's images, a 7.1 suround sound support, free DSL internet, personalization and a lot more. So what are you reading for, BUY one now or you'll regret the day that you turned a cold shoulder on a ever INNOVATIVE PS3.

Though, we have heard of the project TESLA, its also a wireless electricity developed by Nikola Tesla on 1899 transmitting 100 million volts of high-frequency electric power wirelessly over a distance of 26 miles at which he lit up a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran one electric motor. Anybody who knows more about wireless electricity, we would be very happy to hear your comments. Either Nokala Tesla’s or Powercasts’s or anybody interested with these magnificent breakthroughs, please feel free to post your comments.
