Travel Life

About 4 years ago, I had PNG whispered into my ear from an individual who probably fit right in there. I have long since sought adventures, working my way up tot he gull of traveling to a place such as PNG. A couple years ago, my intrigue grew to the point where I needed to soothe it (at least a little), I did research, booked a ticket (before the research actually) and then cancelled my ticket due to the exorbitant amount of advisories against it. I still think a part of me proven domesticated (more than I would have liked to admit that time, but with a family on the rise, it was a necessary decision). Note, I did try to redeem myself with a suicidal expectation of the EBC trek last year (still don't feel that makes up for chickening out of PNG). But nonetheless, I am sharing a read that I found just remarkable really, as outdated as it is. I highly recommend it if you are an adventurer looking for a new goal. Give this a read before heading out to PNG and afterwards, let me

This process has changed since Sept 2023. This description of events is pertaining to the principal applicant being my wife applying as spouse through family class.

Module 7: Pedagogy 7.1 Exposition Pedagogy is such a complex topic that it could be its own course, so as we discuss the theories that inform a teacher’s planning, implementation, and assessment, keep in mind that we are giving an overview rather than a comprehensive study. Here are some of the most well-known theories of education.  Considering that education in some form or another has existed since the dawn of man, it is surprising to know there are so many different theories regarding the best way to provide education for students. While many of these can work together to inspire teachers in their planning and instruction, some of them directly contradict each other and have led to debates within the profession. Here, we will cover a few of those theories and discuss how they can inform your teaching. 7.1.1 Bloom’s taxonomy  Benjamin Bloom studied learning and concluded that learning activities could be categorized into six segments based on the level of th

Was approached by Expat.com twice now for contributions to community interest pieces, really wouldn't mind a writing job with them... But here is the latest one, https://www.expat.com/en/expat-mag/3200-how-is-life-going-after-lockdown-in-china.html

I lived in China (Jinshitan) for 6 years. I had fun, did alright-got sick of my job and learned that no matter where you go in the world, there are snakes in the grass. This is purely an interest piece-its not an in depth expose because I didn't need to get as close as one might imagine in order to see what comes with a 1% patch followed by the "Red Devils" emblem (or vice versa). I didn't want to get as close as I may have needed to in order to get the dirty details on things, but I see enough from the roadside. These jokes are dealing drugs in China-serious offence, no? One approached me about starting a grow-op in my basement. "I have a family, I don't want cops here&q
