			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today as I was reading about all of the things  going on in education&#8230;I came upon a very interesting title which  caught my eye. Once I give you the title you will understand why it got  my attention so quickly!</p>
<p>I actually debated writing on this book  and author as no doubt this will help spark his sales however, he does  make a good point about what is happening in our schools today. This is  about the growing problem of corruption and racism in our inner city  schools.</p>
<p>A rabbi has written a book about how our education is  declining and we need to do something to save our nation&#8217;s youth that  is, if we really care about them. They are a group in California who  are looking for people who are ready for LESS hope and change and more  who are ready to keep our faith and survive with our values intact.</p>
<p>Teachers  nowadays are loathe to reinforce values that have etched their way into  American culture by our founding fathers, nor are they willing to risk  revealing the consequences of those values that will guarantee our  freedom in tomorrow&#8217;s war of ideas and assaults upon our country.</p>
<p>We  are losing our teachers and in fact, statistics say that the average  life of a teacher is seven years. When you talk to these teacher  drop-outs, it&#8217;s not the money (what money?) that bothers them; it&#8217;s the  total lack of administrative support, parental backing, community  indifference, and lack of validation toward their professionalism that  drives them away.</p>
<p>So, are you still asking yourself what is this  title that got my attention&#8230;well it is sure to catch yours as  well&#8230;&#8230;.&#8221;Kill the Teacher&#8221;. Of course I am not sure if readily agree  with the title of this book but this is a real meeting about to take  place in California on the 21st of January and they are looking to  break the silence, adopt a radical, non-union stance in order to save  our youth.</p>
<p>If you are in the Los Angeles area, they are  challenging all teachers to come out and be at this meeting! They are  promising a no-nonsense program in a one-of-a-kind seminar&#8230;while one  may not agree with the seminar; I have to ask myself how many more  teachers out there have gone through this very same thing and have a  similar story.</p>
<p>The shocking news? This one is backed not only by  the Rabbi who wrote the book and has done the study but he has gained  the support of Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and the Californian  Republic Assembly.</p>
<p>If you do go to this one, please write me and  let me know what you think, I would love to know and even if you don&#8217;t  go. I would like to hear your story&#8230;are you the victim of &#8220;Kill the  Teacher&#8221;?</p>
<p>Wynelle  is a motivational speaker, mentor, trainer &amp; empowerer of youth  leadership helping them discover their purpose in life and for over 35  years has been a missionary to youth in Latin America &amp; the  Caribbean. She has appeared on networks of television shows including  TBN and Enlace (Spanish Christian TV). She received an award for the  &#8220;Most Outstanding Woman of the Year&#8221; in 1988 for her ministry to youth.</p>
<p>Wynelle  has worked in inner city schools in some parts of the USA and in Latin  America and has been in education for over 30 years. She continues to  work in education as an assesor and in the training of teachers in  classroom management.</p>
<p>Wynelle speaks, reads &amp; writes fluent  Spanish serving as a translator for the Juvenile Courts of Texas which  enabled her to be more effective with the youth of today. Wynelle is  now hosting her own television program for young people in both Spanish  and English.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wanting to train for a career in radio &#8211; maybe  even with an eye to break into TV? If you live in or near Colorado,  radio schools in the region may be a bit difficult to hunt down-even  though Colorado has a large number of quality radio stations. You could  find one or two smaller trade schools, Colorado radio schools, or  enroll in a local university as a communications major, with a  concentration on radio. But are these going to meet the need?</p>
<p>Here are some of the difficulties aspiring broadcasters have in finding a quality education:</p>
<p>1.  Finding a school with current equipment and methods. It&#8217;s an issue for  a lot of schools since continuous updating can be expensive, and some  things in the industry change so rapidly that every few years, updates  will be necessary just so they can stay current.</p>
<p>2. Looking for a  school that is not quite so expensive. Unless the school has a  benevolent endowment, that price will ultimately get passed to the  students.</p>
<p>3. The outstanding thing is not that you have an academic degree or a certificate but more of whether you get results.</p>
<p>Getting  a radio school in Colorado that you like is not just the only thing,  you have discover one that could meet all these challenges, and getting  once can be tough.</p>
<p>The great news is that there is a method of  training out there that can meet these challenges more easily-but it  doesn&#8217;t need to be found in a schoolroom. So what if the hunt was made  simpler? What if you could see the education that you&#8217;re looking for at  the center of where the action is, right at the studio? It can-because  of an alternative method called the mentor/apprentice method.</p>
<p>This  method goes by the presumption that the strongest way to learn radio is  to learn by doing, not by placing the student in a distinct academic  environment-plus, in the studio, the equipment is kept up to date, and  students are educated by working professionals, so it keeps prices  down! All 3 challenges seem to be met merely by using the studio as the  learning environment rather than having a separate one set up.</p>
<p>So  when you&#8217;re looking for good Colorado radio schools, the search just  might stop at your local radio station. You just have to look for that  training program that practices the mentored approach.</p>
<p><a target="_new" href="http://www.radioconnection.com/Metro-Main.html" rel="nofollow">Colorado Radio Schools</a> offer one-on-one private mentoring at local radio stations from local  on-air personalities. Learn from an on-air radio professional at the <a target="_new" href="http://www.radioconnection.com/" rel="nofollow">Radio Connection</a> in your home town.</p>

		<title>Broadcast Schools &#8211; Your Options For the Schooling You Need</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for Colorado broadcast schools? If you  live in this region, and are looking for a broadcasting career in radio  or perhaps television, your dream job might be closer to home than you  think. If you get the schooling to help you you compete, Colorado  certainly has the potential, with more than sixty radio stations in the  metro areas. You might be able to find the right schooling locally as  well. So here are some possible places to look for an education in this  field.</p>
<p><strong>Major in communications at a college or university.</strong> <br />
    Several of the leading universities in Colorado, such as the  University of Denver and the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs  have communications programs. The benefit of a university education is  that because it&#8217;s well rounded, you&#8217;ll get options beyondbroadcasting,  especially if you don&#8217;t like the work you&#8217;ll be in or the job market is  not as good. The disadvantage is that the training might not be as  specialized.</p>
<p><strong>Take classes at a local community college or technical college.</strong> <br />
    Broadcasting is a technical trade, hence there are schools that  have more particular options for coaching for a career in broadcasting.  The reward is that you get to find a more specialized course within  your interest, and schools like these cost less. The inexpensive cost,  however, sometimes means low quality, and the equipment might not be up  to date, and a degree from any one of these schools would not carry as  much weight when you&#8217;re looking for a job.</p>
<p><strong>Go to a specialized broadcasting school.</strong> <br />
    The most obvious alternative for a dedicated broadcast school in  Colorado is (ironically) the Ohio/Illinois Centers for Broadcasting;  they have a branch school in Denver. The obvious benefit with this pick  is that you get a strong education in your field of interest and  sufficient preparation so you are competitive. A down side would be  that they are often more costly and could be selective; a set  enrollment would mean tougher chances to get in.</p>
<p><strong>Find an alternative program using the mentored approach.</strong></p>
<p>This  approach goes very well for broadcasting since it is a learn-by-doing  trade. Apart from having students trained on site and saving costs  without the compromise on quality, you get meaningful relationships and  networking for the future, when you are looking for a job. One such  program that practices this approach is Radio Connection, and they also  have links with the local stations in Colorado.</p>
<p>It might look  like a intimidating task when it comes to checking out Colorado  broadcast and selecting the right option, but if you get yourself  trained with your options and you play it smart, it is very possible to  not only have a great education but get to set up a career without the  need to be away from home.</p>
<p><a target="_new" href="http://www.radioconnection.com/Metro-Main.html" rel="nofollow">Colorado Broadcast Schools</a> provide one-on-one private instruction from local broadcast professionals. Learn from an on-air radio professional at the <a target="_new" href="http://www.radioconnection.com/" rel="nofollow">Radio Connection</a> in your home town.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Visualizing and feeling the Taj Mahal without  being aware of its background is foully inappropriate and pretty  ridiculous. The overgenerous expression was not easy to create. There  under lays the deep-sea of feelings, sentiments and a untamed obsession  that motivated the king to get such a masterpiece built in absolutely  white marble. It&#8217;s the only tombstone in the entire world, where  perchance, every inch of the construction, from one corner to the  other, exhibits the attractiveness of Mumtaz Mahal. Mughal emperor&#8217;s  Shah Jahan&#8217;s deep emotions, thoughts and warm-heartedness can be  experienced at the very initial moment as you reach your destination to  glue your stare upon one of the most exceptional and unique  construction in the world.</p>
<p>The impressive love story began in  1612, when a Persian lady Arjumand Bano tied a nuptial knot with Shah  Jahan, the fifth Mughal ruler. Arjumand Bano, who was later known as  Mumtaz Mahal the most admired beauty of the entire palace, was a  subsequent wife to the king. Equally a friend and a consultant, the  queen accompanied the king on all his trips and military voyages. So  much was the impression of the queen on his emperor-husband that Shah  Jahan was enthused and encouraged to execute acts of donation and  generosity all through his life.</p>
<p>The love tale took a grim twist  when, on an operation at Burhanpur with her husband, Mumtaz Mahal  breathed her last while delivering her 14th child. So brokenhearted was  the king that the entire court went into bereavement for a long period  of over two years. It is declared that within hardly any months  subsequent to the queen&#8217;s death, the hair and facial hair of the king  had gone white. And Shah Jahan was frantically unwavering on  constructing a monument in his companions memory that the humanity had  never visualized before.</p>
<p>The deceased body of the queen was  fetched to Agra and buried in a plot on the edge of river Yamuna. A  collection of the premium architects gathered to develop a plan for the  construction of the tomb. It is also revealed that following the end of  the construction, when ruler Shah Jahan observed the Taj, he passed an  order to his men to slash off the right hand of the master architect  Ustad Isa, so that he was unable to erect such a majestic and daunting  structure yet again in his life. There&#8217;s another myth that says Shah  Jahan was considering of constructing yet another Taj Mahal crossways  the river in black marble.</p>
<p>Always visit Taj mahal with a travel  guide and start discovering the tales and legends, poring over the  wonderful chapters of the glorious past.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Welcome to Madagascar &#8211; Inspiration for the 2005 Disney Film &#8220;Madagascar&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Biodiversity</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know -</strong> From an ecological perspective, Madagascar is unique and fantastic.  About 10 percent of Madagascar&#8217;s territory is covered by national  parks, nature reserves, wildlife refuges and other protected areas,  where there are rare wild animals (some endangered animal species) and  subtropical wilderness. Some areas have not changed much since  independence. For these reasons, like Ecuador, Indonesia, Australia and  the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), it has one of the  richest eco-systems of the world&#8217;s developing countries. Finally the  Island&#8217;s rich biodiversity was the inspiration for the 2005 Disney Film  &#8220;Madagascar&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Geography</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know -</strong> Madagascar, once the seat of an ancient kingdom, is located on the  Indian Ocean, and is the world&#8217;s fourth-biggest island, after Greenland  (Danish territory), Papua New-Guinea, and Borneo  (Indonesia/Malaysia/Brunei Darussalam). The Island is covered with  mountains, valleys, and rainforests (40% of the land is forested);  there are streams, volcanic lakes, and rivers. It also has mangroves,  coastal forests, and coral reefs. On the world stage Madagascar is  famous for its amazing ecology, from rare animals to unique plants.  Antananarivo is the Island&#8217;s capital. Other cities include Toamasina  and Autsirabe, as well as Mahajanga and Fianarantsoa.</p>
<p><strong>Economics</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know &#8211; </strong>Vanilla  is the mainstay of the economy, followed by coffee, seafood, chromite,  and cloves, as well as seafood, and oil. On the other hand,the  French-speaking nation has few mineral resources, but it is one of  Africa&#8217;s largest producers of graphite. Curiously the United States of  America imports large amounts of graphite from Madagascar.</p>
<p><strong>Independence</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know -</strong> On June 26, 1960, Madagascar, after a 75-year French occupation, became  a new independent country on the planet. Post 1960, it has strong links  with Paris. In this context, the Island is culturally and economically  part of the French-speaking world. In the meantime, From the 1990s on,  Madagascar has had relatively peaceful years of democracy.</p>
<p><strong>Tourism</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know &#8211; </strong>Inspired  by the examples of Seychelles, Kenya and Mauritius, among other  successful African countries, the Republic of Madagascar is trying to  consolidate its tourism sector. It is a perfect place for the tourist  seeking a new destination. The Island has immense tourism potential:  one of the few countries with unspoilt environment. For example, the  Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve and the Atsinanana National  Park, two of the Island&#8217;smost amazing spots, are home to lemurs,  Madagascar&#8217;s national symbol, dugongs, tenrecs, mongooses, and  aye-ayes, as well as a great variety of species of amphibians, reptiles  and arachnids. In addition to being the home to many wildlife  sanctuaries, the French-speaking nation offers other attractions:  native traditions, fascinating history, scenic landscapes, unique  culture, picturesque towns, and, of course, pristine beaches. Because  of its isolation, most of its beaches are unspoiled. At the same time,  the Island is an ideal destination for bird-watching. Certainly, it  offers authentic experiences!</p>
<p><strong>Madagascar &amp; Miss Universe</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know -</strong> The Island made its first Miss Universe appearance in July 1961 when  Miss Madagascar, Jacqueline Robertson, competed in America.</p>
<p><strong>Language</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know -</strong> Malagasy and French are the official languages in the country. In addition, it has other native dialects.</p>
<p><strong>United Nations</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know &#8211; </strong>During  the latter half of the 20th century, on September 20, 1960, the Island  joined the United Nations. At the same time, it became a member of the  Non-Aligned Movement, the most powerful organization in the Third World.</p>
<p><strong>Nobel Prize in Literature</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know &#8211; </strong>France&#8217;s novelist Claude Sim&oacute;n, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature 1985, was born in Madagascar.</p>
<p><strong>Woman &amp; Power</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you know -</strong> Queen Ranavalona I ruled Madagascar from 1828 to 1861. Historically, she is one of Africa&#8217;s well-known female leaders.</p>
<p>Alejandro  Guevara Onofre: Freelance writer. Alejandro is author of a host of  articles/essays about over 220 countries and dependencies (and American  States as well), from ecology, history, tourism and national heroes to  Olympic sports, foreign relations, and wildlife.
