Encouraging your Children to Develop good Study Skills
June 17, 2020 by
We all understand that encouraging our children to be good students is important. Any child that does not do well academically will struggle to find their place in the world of work. Rightly or wrongly, most employers are not that interested in employing someone who has not passed their exams. Even the few that are, hold back if the person in front of them does not have particularly strong reading, writing, and mathematic skills.
Children have to attain increasingly higher levels of academic achievement to be able to pass their exams. As countries like China raise the bar, other countries are upping their standards too. As a result, it is vital that your children develop good study habits and do so from an early age. If they do not they will be left behind. Here are a few ways you can make it far less likely that will happen.
Teach your children to rely on their own abilities
Plagiarism and cheating are growing problems. Unsurprisingly, most educational institutions have taken effective steps to stop the cheats. When they are old enough to understand, use this handy definition of plagiarism to teach your children what it is. Explain why they should not do it and show them how easy it is to get caught cheating.
Teach them how to cite their sources
Also, explain that there is a right way to use what others have already discovered in their work. Make sure your children know the correct way to cite the work of others. Giving credit shows respect and enables the person marking your child´s academic papers to see that they have carried out proper research. It also makes it easier for them to accept and follow the arguments they are making, which again leads to higher marks.
Get them into the habit of studying regularly
Doing something at more or less the same time every day makes it far more likely you will do it. In particular, if it is something that you do not enjoy. Getting your children to study every day is an effective way to get them into good studying habits.
Teach them the importance of the right study environment
If left to their own devices, most children will try to do their schoolwork sat in front of the TV or while trying to answer texts from their friends. The majority of adults will do the same. Studies show that it is a very unproductive way to work. The best way to demonstrate this to your children is to sit them down somewhere quiet and time how long it takes them to write a short essay. Then let them do the same task while sitting in front of the TV. When they are finished, show them how much longer it took them to do their work when they were not working in the right environment.
Of course, that means you need to create the right kind of study space for each of your children. This short guide will give you some ideas on how to do that even if you do not have much room available.
GG #4 (Peace In the Air)
June 17, 2020 by
The air in the world is changing, and we as a species are changing with it. The temperatures are getting warmer, the icecaps are melting, and our actions are causing a cascade of climate change scenarios that are already having a damaging impact. But, as the Nobel Peace Prize winning author of the book, Peaceable Kingdom, puts it – “Climate change will not be a weapon of mass destruction, but a weapon of mass transformation”.
I’ve been looking for a blog to share my thoughts and ideas about peace. I’ve been reading a lot of “Peace” books and listening to a lot of “peace” music. I’ve been looking for a way to put it all together and bring it to life. So, I’m going to start a new blog. I’ll make it a place where I can write out my thoughts, share what I’ve learned, and add to the collective wisdom of the Internet. I’m going to call it Peace in the Air.
When this quarantine began, a quiet vacation on a digital island seemed like the most appropriate option, but I ended up losing my shirt on a bad turnip deal, and now I’m deeply involved in the raccoon gang. I don’t even know how it happened. What is my financial responsibility for infrastructure projects such as bridges and ramps? I don’t even use those weird people who keep showing up and getting rude if I happen to talk to them twice in one day. Yeah, I’m looking at you, Tammy! That’s why your garden is now filled with garbage bags and flamingos! Who knew Animal Crossing could be so intense? Here, let’s put some peace in the air and Chil… Excuse me. BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE, TAMERA! !! Oh, here we go. Here are your mother’s earrings, please. 
Peace In the Air is a I71 store located at 2118 18th St NW in Washington DC that promotes their favorite local hip-hop artists. Delivery is also possible! Buy tracks from their downloadable album, support local music and get free weed if you want. And if you use the code TOKER at checkout, you’ll get $20 off and a free preroll from the company! 
Today we take a look at GG#4 from Peace In the Air. My gift was wrapped with a collection of knots of several half-grams (or so) around a button that weighed over an ounce – quite acceptable for an eighth. Tiny trichomes cover the surface of these light green fluffy buds, from which numerous dark red hairs of oxidised iron protrude. Much of the sugar leaf remained on the buds, although the excess stems were carefully cut off. The humidity is within the maximum range and not too dry. Overall, the bag feels good. This GG#4 has a solid, woody aroma with a hint of pepper contributing to the flavor. The smoke is light, clear and fairly even. No nasty bite, no nasty cough. Theoretically, you could give it to your grandmother to smoke. I don’t even know if she smokes. But if she does, she’ll love it. Why don’t you call more often? Remember when Billy grew up across the street? She met her mom at Safeway and would love to tell you about it. 
Peace In the Air GG#4 tends towards indica. The power is enough to put me in a good mood and relieve some anxiety, but not too much. If you smoke it during the day, you don’t fall asleep, but you also don’t think about anything heavy. Better yet, save it for when you’re ready to relax while watching What We Do in the Shade, because this flower is a bit of a laugh riot, if you know what I mean. Overall, Gentleman is quite pleased with this flower. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Come on, Guillermo. Today we fly! The post GG #4 (Peace In the Air) appeared first on .

Is GG a bad word?
I always find it interesting when people are triggered by a four letter word. Before the internet, ‘G’ and ‘G’ alone were greetings, you could get an ‘agreement’ from someone and vice versa with just saying it out loud. Over the years the usage of the word has changed and there are many more offensive ways to use it. I asked my friends what they thought about it and here’s what they had to say. “GG” has been a hot topic lately, mostly because of the controversy surrounding the hashtag. I first noticed the hashtag because a post was being shared on Twitter by @DisneyDCPat, the official Twitter account of Disney Movies & TV, and later on by @DisneyDCPat again, this time about the video game Kingdom Hearts 3. I followed the tweet, and it led me to a blog post about the movie Star Wars (I didn’t realize it was from a Disney blog, and I wasn’t looking for it, so I thought it was from a movie blog). After reading the blog post, I found out that the

Girls have a way of knowing when a guy is a player, but what about when he’s a keeper? That’s when GG comes in. What does the #GG heart symbol mean? GG stands for “Girl Gets Guys”, and it can stand for many things. Maybe it’s a girl who is confident enough to approach a guy, and gets what she wants. Maybe it’s a girl who can’t get a guy to open up to her, no matter how hard she tries. GG might be a girl who has the confidence to open up to a guy, and make him realize that he’s wanted her all along. That girl is GG – and she gets the guy.

I have been out of the system for about 3 years now.

How To Effectively Deal With A Cockroach Infestation
June 17, 2020 by
Cockroaches can be found everywhere around the country from McAllen, Texas to Ann Arbor, Michigan. They are one of the most prolific and difficult insects to get rid of from your home once there is an infestation. The key is to recognize when you have a problem and to know enough about the nature of the bug to properly treat an infestation.
Cockroaches originate from areas of the world that tend to be hot and humid. However, over time, these easily adaptive insects have spread worldwide and can thrive in any kind of environment. This means that no matter where you live, you could end up with a cockroach infestation.
There are a few ways that you can deal with cockroaches on your own. But, the only way to really ensure that you get these creepy crawlers out of your home for good is to bring in the professionals with an Ann Arbor or McAllen Pest Control Company.
The American Cockroach
Although you could end up with a different variety of cockroaches in your home, it’s more likely that your infestation will be the American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana). It is recognized by its reddish-brown shiny exoskeleton body with an average length of 1 ½ inch.
It prefers to inhabit residential buildings and homes where food supplies are easy to access. The American cockroach is nocturnal, coming out mostly at night and preferring dark and damp hiding places during the day.
What Do They Eat?
One of the ways to eliminate cockroaches in your home is to understand what they eat. If you know what they are getting into, it’s easier to eliminate the food source to make your home less tempting. Here are some of the most common foods that cockroaches are drawn to:
Traditional Food Sources
- Pastries & Bread
- Rice
- Dairy Products – Milk and cheeses
- Meats – Chicken, Turkey, Pork, Beef
- Table sugar
- Candy and Chocolate
Non-Traditional Food Sources
- Human waste
- Wallpaper glue
- Drywall
- Book bindings
- Other cockroaches
- Blood
General Behavior
Most species of cockroaches have wings but prefer to scuttle along your floors and walls rather than fly. They will tend to leave droppings that resemble dirt or pepper grains. You may even see blotches of brown looking smudges that are left by cockroaches. They prefer the dark to well lit areas and are commonly found in basements, under sinks, and in other areas that are not well lit.
Cockroaches are extremely adaptive to even the harshest environments. It is said that a single cockroach can live for several weeks even after its head has been removed. They carry their egg sacs with them and each sack or Ootheca can hold up to 20 eggs.
How To Get Rid Of Cockroaches
There are very few off the shelf treatments that are completely effective in treating a cockroach infestation. Because of their ability to adapt and their resistance to chemical treatments, foggers and sprays may not be able to completely rid your home of cockroaches. However, there are a few things that you can do to help eliminate roaches as well as be proactive in preventing any future infestations.
- Seal Your Home – Cockroaches are low profile insects meaning that they can fit their flattened bodies into just about any sized crack. To keep them from entering your home it’s important to seal any areas from which they could gain access. Use a silicone caulking to seal any cracks or splits in your foundation, along door frames and windows. You can also add weather stripping to your doors to add an extra barrier.
- Boric Acid – This common household chemical can be effective in killing cockroaches. It can be purchased at most hardware or shopping marts. It can be toxic to pets and children so it’s important to make sure that you are applying it safely in your home.
- Traps – There are several types of Roach Kits on the market ranging from gel bait to sticky traps. In most cases, the traps are set with bait to draw in the cockroaches to eat a poisonous substance. The cockroaches eat and then die. In some cases, they can take residue back to the population to also be infected.
- Home Cleaning – Cockroaches prefer areas that are less clean than the rest of your home. By doing a regular deep cleaning and sanitizing of darker and damper areas that are hidden around your home, you can help reduce your risk of infestation. Keeping basement and garage floors cleaned and making sure that areas under sinks and counters are clean and sanitized will limit the draw to cockroaches.
Finding cockroaches in your home can give you the creepy-crawlies but, there is no reason to think that an infestation has to be permanent. Try some of our at-home tips to limit your exposure and call in the professionals to help you get rid of these unwanted pests.
What did Robert Downey JR go to jail for
June 16, 2020 by
Robert Downey Jr. was sentenced to three years in prison for drug possession, due to a plea bargain he made with the judge and prosecutor. He had been arrested at LAX airport after authorities found cocaine on his person during a random search by security agents of passengers boarding an airplane. The court ordered him into rehab and not jail time if he agreed to plead guilty to felony charges that would have put him behind bars for up-to-three years. So RDJ went back home from Hollywood’s biggest night with just one Oscar nomination instead of two, because it turns out even Iron Man breaks the law sometimes!
4 Reasons Why You Should Switch to a Programmable Thermostat
June 15, 2020 by
Programmable and smart thermostats are becoming more popular as the wave of high-tech home devices continues to accelerate. You don’t have to be a genius to recognize the benefits of installing a programmable thermostat. It can save time, money, and energy while creating a more comfortable home environment for you and your family.
Optimize Your HVAC system
The quickest and easiest way to optimize your HVAC system is by programming your thermostat to operate differently during certain times of the day. Whether you choose a basic programmable thermostat or decide to use the programming function on a smart thermostat, the option to “set it and forget it” allows the thermostat to automatically adjust the temperature according to preset conditions you’ve already indicated. Using auto settings causes your HVAC system to work less and also decreases the energy load of the system, which saves costs and helps the unit to last longer.
Reduce Energy Costs
A smart thermostat can reduce energy costs in several ways. It eliminates a lot of the guesswork and indecision from constantly adjusting the temperature in your home and provides a level of consistency that allows you to reliably determine when and how you’ll need heat or cool. One of the easiest ways to decrease costs is to lower your thermostat settings by 7-10 degrees when you and your family are not at home. By making simple adjustments to your settings, you can save as much as 10% off your electricity bills.
Save Time
Homeowners who do not use a smart or programmable thermostat spend an inordinate amount of time every day manually adjusting the climate in their homes to suit the needs of everyone in the household. Families often must wait out uncomfortable temperatures while the system catches up to the desired range. Fortunately, the smart thermostat is a time-saving tool that works to deliver comfortable temperatures without waiting or constant adjustments. Using a programmable thermostat allows you to enjoy your time at home without regular maintenance and adjustments so you and your family can enjoy your time at home no matter what the outside weather is like.
Access High-Tech Features

Smart thermostats are easy to install, program, and use. One of the best features is the ability to access and adjust the settings and features with your phone from any Wi-Fi enabled location. Depending on the needs of your family, you can also set up several schedules for each person and update the settings on the fly when you’re at work, on the road, or anywhere in the world.
It’s an easy decision to move forward with your purchase of a programmable thermostat. Saving time and money on your HVAC system will allow you and your family to enjoy reduced energy bills as well as a more relaxing climate at home. Smart and programmable thermostats operate with such ease, they might just inspire you to consider more automated devices to further improve the quality and comfort of your home environment.
