Have a Happy Thanksgiving

The Thanksgiving Day Parade

By Jack Prelutsky


Thanksgiving Day is here today,

the great parade is under way,

and though it's drizzling quite a bit,

I'm sure that I'll see all of it.


Great balloons are floating by,

cartoon creatures stories high,

Mickey Mouse and Mother Goose,

Snoopy and a mammoth moose.


Humpty Dumpty,

Smokey Bearhover in the autumn air,

through the windy skies they sway,

I hope that they don't blow away.


Here comes Santa, shaking hands

as he waddles by the stands.

It's so much fun, I don't complain

when now it really starts to rain.


The bands are marching, here they come,

pipers pipe and drummers drum,

hear the tubas and the flutes,

see the clowns in silly suits.


It's pouring now, but not on me,

I'm just as dry as I can be,

I watch and watch, but don't get wet,

I'm watching on our TV set.

Dance Your Ph.D.

I thought this article was rather interesting - from The Chronicle of Higher Education's Daily Report

Dancing Science Ph.D.'s Twirl on YouTube (See item) http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/article/3465/dancing-science-phds-twirl-on-youtube
American Association for the Advancement of Science is sponsoring the project, 2009 AAAS Science Dance Contest
“The human body is an excellent medium for communicating science — perhaps not as data-rich as a peer-reviewed article, but far more exciting,”

FUZZY BRAIN?

I found this mental exercise interesting; it;s supposed to help improve your focus. Take a piece of paper and two pens and sit at a table. Draw a circle with one hand and, at the same time, draw two squares with the other while tracing a circle on the floor with one foot. Not so easy, but are you feeling more focused?

Learning

I came across the following at the Mission to Learn blog; it's kinda interesting - something to contemplate
Five Themes for the Web 2.0 Learner
Consiousness - be on the lookout for learning opportunities
Self Knowledge - what is your learning style, how do you interact with information,...?
Insight - critical thinking and problem solving
Connection - network, let yourself be heard, branch-out
Validation - goal completion, acknowledgement from others,...
5 Traits of the Super Learner comments on the article "Secrets of the Super-Learners
Wonder "the capacity to be grabbed by something and really want to pursue it"
Humility "Taking advice requires a bit of humility."
Synthetic Thinking Take what you learn and apply it
Patience " A lot of the best learning is slow and methodical."
Relishing Mistakes "Good learners make lots of mistakes, just as poor learners do, but they learn from their mistakes."
