Lifelong learning W hat lifelong learning is really like? W hy do we study? W hat for? W hat is the purpose? S ome of us have answered these questions already - we learn, we study, we revise over and over again to be clever and educated, to be aware of how to solve the problem we have, to become the complete human, and so on. P lenty oceans of knowledge are surrounding us, our choice - to dive into a few (some) of them to compare feelings, to know where and how do we feel ourselves better. P eople differently make desicions during their lifetime, they want to try themselves everywhere. T hese are the stories of those, who'd found himself and who still searchs for. A ll of us are able to get used to any conditions, that's what exactly motivate, lead us to the action. S alman Khan, a Harward University graduate is studying for a lecture he's going to give, it'll take place on YouTube, it won't last for more than ten minutes, and it will reach a potentioal audienc...

Should all teaching and learning take place online now?  Isn't it amazing that nowadays we can study right at home, with no books or school supplies. Without a doubt, it makes us feel pretty comfortable, studying with help of computer systems is a quite simple thing, but could it ever supersede the (school) real educational process?  So what is the main argument against? Many people, including me, are against of online education because of it's form, "you and the teacher" To my mind it makes you becoming further in society. School, for the great part of the students who study on 3, on 4 is also a place where they learn  what life is about, every day, they solve their real life problems, they communicate , play the team games such as basketball or football, they struggle to get use to the thick timetable, so after school, it might be easier for some of them to see the things different, to connect to the real life way.  Certainly there are many arguments in fav...

Let me tell you a story based on a real facts. Some of them are currently not proved, some of them are still remain a mystery. Could a T-rex really walk the Earth again? Well dinosaurs were roaming the Earth over 65 million years ago and dinosaur DNA doesn't last that long, even in teeth or bones. Jack Horner, a world famous palaentologist ar Montana State University, however, disagrees. "Of course we can bring them to life," he says "the science is there." In fact, in 2003, his team made a breakthrough that amazed scientists, one of Jack's students have found an organic material. So does it mean that we will be sharing Earth with cloned T-rexes in the future? Jack believes it's possible, but a complete genetic map of a dinosaur would have to be worked out first and that might take decades.. Jack isn't the only one following this line of research. At McGill University in Canada, Hans Larsson has conducted experiements into reactiving dinosaur DNA ...

Have you ever wondered about the life in someone else's shoes? Imagine then, how it might be felt if you're a homeless or elderly. So,  to find out what it's really like, one reporter went undercover as an eighty-year-old woman. After they turned 25-year-old girl into an elderly lady with help of layers of prosthetic make-up and a shabby coat, transformation was complete - it looked very convincing. Let's get it started in a shopping centre. When she got to her favourite make-up counter, where the assistant usually laughs and jokes with her, she looked as if she couldn't wait to get rid of her. After in a music shop, her request for some CDs was met with laughter from sales assistants who couldn't believe an 80-year-old was interested in the latest chart hits. She felt incredibly embarassed and lonely. And the only one person, invisible by society seemed to want to chat with her. I am not telling you have to help everyone around, no, simply, one day, it could...

1.While Joseph was training with monks he learnt about how to build character and humility through hardship and discipline, and that is exactly what he has experienced, as he said. 2. He left the academy with a new inner strength and determined to work hard to achieve goals in his life. That's about how could it help him, afterwards. To be a bit more honest, he had ran away to take a hot shower, to have a relaxing sleep.

"Tobie Lolness" is a(n) (adventure) gripping fantasy novel, written by Timothee de Fombelle. The book tells the story of the (little) boy who saved his huge tiny (tree) world.

(the book|picture) My own "50 books to read before you die" list doubtlessly starts with it. It is certainly wo...

Each year the UFO festival in Roswell attracts thousands of visitors. This year, i will travel there with one of journalists - Ruth Bradley to take part in a new UFO Discovery tour. We met a friendly guide and the other part of our enthusiastic group. First day we've reached a hotel and  I felt it might be a great experience. The following morning we were taken to the first spot, where we found out what lies in the huge hole made by a UFO spacecraft. The next spot - the huge aircraft hangar on the old army base where the remaims of the strange craft were taken to be examined. Eye-witness accounts later said the craft as unlike anything that had ever been seen on Earth. The day ended with a visit to the UFO Museum and I was fascinated by some creepy sketches of alien bodies in autopsy tables which were drawn by a nurse working in the base hospital at the time. The night, we camped out in Nevada desert's UFO hotspots, I heard a story about an alien spacecraft spoted above the su...
