Albert Haynesworth brings a lot of concern

This is the best thing you will upon the decision of Bill Belichick, one can say the 2013 fifth-round pick yesterday's trading for the most reluctant warriors of the NFL, the former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, then two more late-round Cincinnati Bengals for mercurial receiver Chad Ochocinco.

The worst thing you can say? Haynesworth in this case is easy.

• The refusal to try the remote, which paid him $ 41 million the Redskins in the last two years, including 34 million in the first 13 months in Washington to win?

• need 10 attempts, a fitness race where it looked like a drowning man in his own bacon happened?

• Failure to stop reading the newspaper or talking on his mobile phone during the team meetings?

• from the Redskins for the last four games last year for the disabled, who co-head coach Mike Shanahan called "his refusal to serve in a number of ways?''

• Stomping on the head unhelmeted Dallas Cowboys center Andre GURODEM, an act of self Haynesworth as "ekelhaft''und for him the longest suspension bridge for a foul on the ground in the history of the NFL?

• Twice into battle with friends in Tennessee, the second time, resulting in a one-game suspension for punching one in the back of the head during an argument?

• Complaints about how the former Redskins defensive coordinator Greg ran 4-3 in the defense, and Blache next year defensive coordinator Jim Haslett is dismal 3-4, refused to play the bottom of the Haynesworth, in the ? First or second

• As such a fool as his original employer, the Titans to give him something close to a competitive offer, if it became a free agent after the team All-Pro first went in last two seasons?

Or should we get down to business?

• Road Rage pay a charge out of court in Virginia, and is on a similar charge after claiming that it was a woman driver in another car has stopped raging?

• to trial in August for allegedly fondling a waitress in a strip club with his credit card to try their division, then in his card, well, you can think of punch.

• sideswiping a car as he would drive 103 miles in 65 hours on the highway in his black Ferrari, who is partially paralyzed and Corey Edmonson over 250,000 dollars in hospital after spinning into a concrete attack ?

• As stupid enough to do the imitation top NASCAR 4 days after administration of probation for driving 100 mph on I-65?

Children education in Indonesia

One day I got a chance to visit a mosque at one of slum areas in South Jakarta. I didn’t teach the kids how to read Quran, because they already have good teachers for that, but I told them my stories. About pursuing my dreams.

They are kids who glad enough to survive day after day. Living side by side with the garbage their parents collect everyday to make a living. All of them didn’t have a dream at all. Or passion. Or anything. I can only see blank stare in their eyes. No burning desire to get whatsoever ahead in their life. They’re afraid to speak their mind. And reluctant to even speak it through writing. I’m very concerned. These are Indonesia’s next generation!

I have a dream for them. That someday they could turn their life around, brought their family with them, out of the slums. Starting with writing and reading. More knowledge, more insights, more sharing, more creativities, would grow these kids.

I started series of public speaking in universities and schools to encourage more young people to write and eventually read. I challenge them to write in several days. Create a book together at Nulisbuku.com. Just be a creator, not only a follower. This project somehow excite them. One of the students at St. Ursula even said that she’s the one who’s going to make the cover of their class book.

Video Games Improve Children Skills

According to some recent reports, video games improve cognitive and perceptual skills, hand-eye coordination and even social skills. It seems that games are not just a waste of time, but are powerful tools and can have many positive effects we didn’t expect they could.

Video Games Improve Hand-Eye Coordination

The process of hand-eye coordination occurs when the eyes receive information and send it to the brain which uses it to coordinate with the hands to perform an activity.

Hand-eye coordination skills can be improved by practicing and exercising. One way to do so is by playing action video games. For some kids this seems to be the best way.

Video games are useful in this because the gamer must use his or her hands and fingers to respond to the information seen on the screen. Children can benefit from this practice even before they can read and write well.

As we get older some skills such as hand-eye coordination, motor skills and reflexes, need some sharpening, so it is wise to be involved in some game or sport.

Video Games Improve Social Skills
Computer and console gaming improve social interaction skills and social development. I suppose you are asking: “Where did this come from?” I didn’t make this up, it’s the conclusion of recent research reports.

There where days when gamers were seen as being social outcasts. They were lonely people with machines for friends, but now things have changed. The main factor is the internet and online games.

The researchers claim that three-quarters of gamers play against other people whether it was off-line or on-line. Gamers can work off their anger and feel relaxed, plus they don’t have to feel alone. They can work together with their gaming friends becoming more socially responsible.

Video Games Improve Cognitive and Perceptual Skills.

Researchers claim that some video games can have advantageous effects, improving gamers’ skillfulness and their ability to solve problems. They came to the conclusion that playing video games can improve cognitive and perceptual skills.

Children who often play video games like: arcade games, action games, horse games, improve their concentration and math skills. When playing on-line, gamers also discuss their strategies and thoughts, developing informal scientific reasoning practices.

Gamers deal with a number of varied tasks at the same time. They notice new enemies, follow existing enemies, and avoid getting damaged, among other tasks. Such efforts may result in improved visual skills.

Video games also improve ones driving skills, because they require focus and manual agility. Smart children might use the results of these reports and say they can’t stop playing because they are improving their skills and so improving their future.

Educational Computer Games

Now and days, children are learning how to use computers and computer toys various ages. This includes computers, laptops, and toys that are designed just like computers and laptops. Many children have started to use technology early, so they have many educational games to choose from. There are games out there to help enhance their learning skills, computer skills, and provide hours of fun.

Of course you want to find a computer game that is easy and age appropriate for your child. But it never hurts to find a game with a bit of a challenge to it. Games with a little challenge will encourage children to use their thinking skills as they learn. This can include games that teach a baby how to identify objects and communicate, or games that teach older children their alphabet, counting, and identify shapes and colors.

Educational computer games can help children to enhance their computer skills, as children will learn how to point and click with a mouse and type small words or their names. As stated earlier, they can help children enhance their learning skills by helping them to learn about shapes, colors, and the alphabet. This will help them learn about reading and math in the process.

You can find these games in various forms. For example, you can find games with different levels of ease and difficulty to match the child’s age and grade level. You can also find games in different popular cartoon and storybook characters, such as Spongebob, Dora, Care Bears, and Arthur. This will help to capture and keep the interest of the child. They love watching and reading about their favorite characters, so they will love to play and learn with them as well!

You can find educational computer games can be found both in stores for your PC or laptop, or online at websites designed for children. You can find the games in stores such as Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, and Toys R Us, all for various prices. They come designed for different computers and operating systems. You just pick the one that will work with your computer, install it, and let your child play. You can also go online to children sites, such as sites designed for children’s television channels or educational sites. Once you find a website and game you and your child likes, then your child can play right there on the website. Another way of playing educational computer games would be to find educational gaming systems from brands such as Leapfrog and V-Tech (some of their toys come designed as toy computers and laptops).

You can also find computers, laptops, and netbooks that are actually designed for children. Many of them will come with educational computer games already on them, so your child can beginning playing once it is purchased, bought home, and opened. Some of them can even use books, flash cards, and more games, to add to the fun. You can find them from various children brands, which include Crayola, Leapfrog, and V-Tech. They come in various cartoon and storybook characters as well, just as the regular games do. In addition, you can even find netbooks designed by Disney. The best part is you do not need to worry about your child’s safety when using these computers and playing games, as they are designed just for children to use!

Brands such as Leapfrog and V-Tech offer toys that seem like computers or laptops. Toys such as these make great alternatives for parents who do not want their children to use a real computer or laptop just yet. Children can still press the buttons and keys, and some may even come with a toy mouse! Some of these toys use storybooks or flash cards instead of an actual monitor. They may be a little different, but they all still include educational computer games, for topics such as counting, shapes, and colors. In addition, they can all make children feel like they have their own computer and computer games, without the use of a real computer.

Regardless of what kind of device and games you choose for your child, they are sure to have a fun learning experience playing with their educational computer games!

Use DeviantArt to Drive Traffic and Promote Your Site

Adapted from my original article How to Use DeviantArt to Boost Google Pagerank and Increase Views

Many people are looking for new ways to promote their web content – whether it be their own websites, photography, or even Bukisa articles. While the usual tried and true methods of SEO and advertising work just fine, more artistic minds might want to think outside of the box a little. For those looking to try a different approach, I present DeviantArt.com! Deviant Art is not simply an art community, but a popular communication tool. It’s high traffic rate and Google ranking make it an ideal place to tell people about your projects. With some creative thinking, you can utilize it to promote just about anything you’re working on.

Step 1. Before we get into the specifics of using the site as a promotion tool, you’re going to actually need an account to get started. It’s free, so sign right on up. If you’re going to be using the site for a specific project, I recommend using the project as your username. If you’re going to be showcasing several of your projects on the site, use your own name (the same that appears, for instance, on your Bukisa articles).

Step 2. Figuring out just what to submit can be tricky. As I’ve written about previous (see my Flickr article in the resources), taking unique photos for your blog or Bukisa articles is a good place to start. You can upload these photographs to DeviantArt in the same way you would on Flickr. In these examples here, AwesomeStart.com is sharing many of the web interfaces their designers have created. In deciding what to post, you’re going to have to think like an artist. What’s the most artistic part of the thing you’re promoting? What would Deviant Art users actually be interested in? This is where the need for creativity comes in. Maybe you could draw some amusing diagrams for your Bukisa articles and post those. It’s really up to you to figure out. Remember: It doesn’t matter if what you’re making is good, only that you try to actually make something. DeviantArt users will be very vocal on how you can improve your craft.

Step 3. Once you’ve got your art piece picked out, we need to optimize it so search engines and gallery browsing users can find it. The best way to do this is using keywords and the description. Let people know what the image is about and what it includes. Jam pack those keywords. Include a link to the site you’re trying to promote in your description. If there’s a link specific to the image (for instace an Bukisa article that usesThe ideas is that if someone is looking for images of, say, a sewing project they would come across your macro stitch photograph and find out you actually have a How To article or blog post about it. The interested user would then find out about your project! These users are fantastic traffic, too – they tend to revisit your site frequently and track your new submissions.

Step 4. Now that your main content is taken care of, fill in the gaps a bit. Update your profile. Add some information about yourself. Utilize the journal space – it’s a great way for people to see what you’ve been up to. You can mirror your site’s blog, provide some teasers for what’s coming up, or post information about what articles you’ve recently written.

Step 5. Watch. Get watchers. Browse the site and find others with similar interest, or artists who’s work you enjoy. Comment on their stuff, add it as a favorite, mark them as a friend. The site is a community after all. Simply browsing around and telling people what you think will actually result in fantastic amounts of traffic.

Step 6. Stay active. Even when you’re away from the site for a few days, people will be poping by and commenting on your art. Mark these people are friends. Send them messages back. It’s very important that you keep up with the people who are showing interest in your project. It shows them that you actually value what they have to say, and it’ll help keep them coming back.

Additional Tips

At the end of the day, there’s going to have to be something artistic about what you’re showcasing. You can’t justtake screencaps of your Bukisa articles and post them – that would be spam, and it would be even less effective on DeviantArt than your average website.
