... die Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (BPB) veranstaltet seit einiger Zeit spezielle LAN-Partys für Erziehungsberechtigte, um diesen den Reiz von Games näher zu bringen. Die Eltern sollen lernen und nachvollziehen können, was ihren Nachwuchs eigentlich so sehr an Computerspielen fasziniert.Wo gibt's das? Ich muss da hin, sonst kann ich vielleicht meinem Erziehungsauftrag nicht optimal nachkommen. Kann man sich den Verdienstausfall vielleicht von der Krankenkasse zahlen lassen?
Profis hingegen wissen: Es gibt immer einen Single-Point-of-Failure. Dessen Bestimmung ist, wie's das Wort schon sagt: to fail. Und er hat auch einen Namen. Im konkreten Fall heißt er wie so häufig Deutsche Telekom. Das ist die Erkenntnis Nummer 1.
Mädchen haben im Schnitt zwischen elf und zwölf Jahren das erste Mal Geschlechtsverkehr, Jungen nur ein Jahr später, Aufklärung findet über Pornos statt, die Pärchen auf dem Schulhof küssen sich nicht mehr, weil sie das im Porno nicht gezeigt bekommen, Zwölfjährige haben Gruppensex, der Partnerwechsel wird unter Teenagern zur sportlichen Herausforderung, Verhütung spielt kaum eine Rolle.Die Hauptursache seien ...
[...] einschlägige Internetseiten, Filme und nicht zuletzt [...] das enthemmte Verhalten ihrer Eltern [...]. Viele Kinder, vor allem die der „sogenannten Unterschicht“, hätten schon früh ein Drehbuch zum Sex im Kopf, der Sex werde zur Droge, „die fehlende Liebe und Geborgenheit und Werte ersetzt“. Perspektivlosigkeit, das Gefühl, nichts wert zu sein, befördere den Trend, Bestätigung in der Sexualität zu suchen, erläutert Siggelkow.Auch die deutschen Behörden und die meisten anderen Studien ein deutlich positiveres Bild zeichnen, so sehe ich hier eine Entwicklung, die unsere Gesellschaft ebenso treffen wird, wie sie bereits die Amerikanische getroffen hat (siehe Buchlinks unten).

How do we fix it?
Women.
Do you have any safety advice for women travelers?
I'm reluctant to chime in for reasons that should be overwhelmingly obvious. I can only offer two non-useful statements that are somewhat at odds. The first I say often to anyone who'll listen, regardless of circumstance: the world is much safer than we are led to believe. The second is that there've been many times when traveling alone that I've felt grateful for being a man. It's an unfortunate reality that members of my gender can often make it a pain in the ass to be a woman.
In lieu of giving any real advice, I'll direct you to Beth Whitman and her site, Wanderlust and Lipstick. She's infinitely more qualified to respond to that inquiry. Beth literally wrote the book on the subject. Beth's email address is her first name @ her domain.
Wissenschaftler der Universität Essen-Duisburg haben herausgefunden, dass sich Kühe immer entlang der Nord-Süd-Magnetlinien ausrichten. "Dass sich größere Säugetiere am Magnetfeld der Erde orientieren, war bisher vollkommen unbekannt", erläutert Sabine Begall, Doktorin am Institut für Biologie. (Quelle)
As any working parent knows, there’s no such thing as balance – only a series of compromises on both the work and home front.Noch ein bemerkenswertes Zitat aus Ihrer Abschiedsnachricht:
I was once asked what was the best career advice I ever received -- and it was to plan for job obsolescence every 18 months, because research showed that people typically master a job in that time period and fall into a routine.
USE THE WORD TODAYFrom: OneWordADay
Find an opportunity to use the new word TODAY - Try to smuggle the new word into a telephone conversation, discussion or e.mail message during the course of today.
THE 24-HOUR RULE
Your memory for new words will be dramatically improved if you repeat your learning AFTER 24 hours. Besides learning your daily word, I strongly advise you to REVIEW YESTERDAY’S WORD . This will double your learning effectiveness. You can do this easily on the OWAD site by clicking the link at the end of each day’s word explanation.
OFFICE ENGLISH LOTTO
Create an English competition with colleagues in your office. Before you click the One-Word-A-Day answer make bets about which definition is correct. 10 points if first choice correct, 5 points if second choice correct. Nominate winner of the week, winner of the month, winner of the year...
COFFEE BREAK
Involve a colleague in your office in your English wordpower development - take a few minutes in the coffee or lunch break to test each other with the words you would especially like to remember.
STORY TELLING
Children learn very effectively through stories, so can you. Create a mini-story for those words you have the most trouble remembering. As a review, make a point of reading the OWAD min-stories we send you.
SKY-WRITING
Close your eyes and imagine a jet plane writing your word with a huge vapour trail across the sky
RECALL SOME SYNONYMS
When you learn the new word, recall other English words with similar meanings - having alternative ways of saying something gives you more precision and flexibility in speaking.
MIRROR-WRITING
Leonardo wrote his notes in mirror-writing, from right to left. Be like Da Vinci and write your new word as it would appear in reflection. The extra effort may help you learn it (another variation is to write the text upside down).
GERMAN-ENGLISH FLASHCARDS
The well-known technique of writing each word on a single card is a useful, transportable learning help. Write the German translation on the reverse side.
GRAFFITI YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN
Write the new word in red ink (water-soluble) in an area your computer screen which you often click. Whenever you click, say the word,... at day's end when you clean the screen, BINGO! you'll know the word!
LEARN OPPOSITES
Many words have natural opposites (antonyms) - rich/poor, heaven/hell, boom/bust,... by also checking opposites you are completing your understanding of the concept and filling-in gaps in your personal wordpool.
USE FEELINGS
How do professional actors learn their lines? They practice their material in complete sentences and they speak them out loud with feeling. We often remember things when feelings are involved - place the new word an emotional sentence, and say it several times with PASSION.
CONTEXT IS THE CLUE
Write out the context sentence on a small card, but leave a BLANK for the new word. Check yourself in spare moments by reading the sentence and remembering the missing word (TIP: if the word is particularly difficult, write the first four or five letters in the blank space lightly in pencil
MAKE AN ICON
Draw a personal symbol or icon to represent each new word. For instance draw a cloud to represent the word "rainmaker". Put this symbol on a Post-It note and say the word whenever you see the symbol.
USE A NATIVE SPEAKER
Engage English native speakers in conversation about the new word. Ask them to pronounce it and to give you a definition or synonym. Ask them to create a sentence with the word in it.
TEACH TO LEARN
A great way to learn is to teach! Explain your word-of-the-day to a colleague or friend, provide an example and if necessary a memory aid. Test your friend after 60 minutes, and the next day. Teach it, and you'll remember it.
MAKE A “DONKEY BRIDGE”
The phrase “donkey bridge” does not exist in English. We use the Greek word “mnemonic” or “memory aid”. By creating a visual bridge with something you know in German you can often remember the word - example: the phrase “donkey bridge” is a mnemonic to help ME remember your German Eselsbrücke!
POST-IT
Write your new word on a Post-It Note and stick it on your telephone - whenever the phone rings, or before you make a call, say the word to yourself, or out loud.
RECORD THE WORDS ON CASSETTE
Make a cassette recording of the words you want to learn and listen to these in your car. Here is a suggested format:
1. speak the German translation (or English definition),
2. PAUSE for 5 seconds (to give you time to answer).
3. speak the word.
WRITE WITH YOUR LEFT-HAND
Try using your non-dominant hand (for most people the left hand) to note down any new words you want to learn. Many people find the effort of doing this helps them remember the word!
FINAL THOUGHT: USE SEVERAL STRATEGIES
To learn a specific word, don’t rely on just one of the strategies given above. Use several techniques. Try them all out and see which ones work best for you. Learning really is more effective if it is fun, use the techniques you enjoy!
"... who give cover to the fundamentalists by not challenging them. The moderates say that all is justified because religion gives people meaning in their life."Links:
“I’ve read the books,” Harris said. “God is not a moderate.”
“We have no reason to expect to survive our religious differences indefinitely. Faith is intrinsically divisive. We have a choice between conversation and war.” It was conversation that ended slavery, not faith. “Faith is a declaration of immunity to conversation. To make religious war unthinkable, we have to undermine the dogma of faith. The continuance of civilization requires not moderation, but reason.”

... He was in love. Obviously he was. You could see it in his face. ... Women when the are in love they have a beatific look. They shine, their face is shining. They look like Botticelli painted them. Men look supid. They look as if somebody hit them over the head with a baseball bat. And you could tell that he was deeply in love. ...Links:
Das ist der Grund, warum ich keine Stadtcaches mag. Und dieser ist ja noch nicht einmal ein Micro. Wäre aber vielleicht besser gewesen, in diesem Fall.Laura Kipnis, despite the title of of her 200-page "polemic", is not Against Love. Rather, she's against the trappings, the rules, the rituals that our culture imposes on love relationships. She goes even further -- she sees marriage, the institution, as every bit as repressive, suffocating and unnatural as our mind-numbing employment in modern hierarchical organizations, and draws strong parallels between the slavery of the workplace and the slavery of the matrimonial home. [...] it's very similar to the argument that Glenn Parton made in his essay posted first on these pages last year entitled "Love Politics". Glenn's argument is that we have become so emotionally numbed by our twin bondage to job and marriage that it has made our hearts cold and hard, uncaring of the plight of our planet and of others, and that this is a direct cause of the destruction of our world. "If I'm miserable, why should I care about anyone else?" Dare to love more than one person, he suggests, and the shackles of this self-imposed imprisonment are broken, and the inrush of emotion will shock us into awareness of, and eagerness to heal, the massive emotional and physical illness of our entire planet.
