Hair "Aquarius" AND "Let The Sunshine In" (the original Broadway cast)




Lyrics to Aquarius
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love, will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love, will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Michael Bublé | White Christmas


What are you dreaming of?

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white"

(I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow)

(I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright")

"And may all your Christmases be white"

Michael Bublé - Save the Last Dance for Me






You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmm
Oh, I know that the music's fine
Like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmm
Baby, don't you know I love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
I will never, never let you go
I love you, oh, so much
You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone and it's time to go
If he asks, if you're all alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him, no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, mmm
Save the last dance for me, mmm, mmm
Save the last dance for me, mmm
Save the last dance for me

Living with Stargardt's Disease




Stargardt disease is the most common form of inherited juvenile macular degeneration. The progressive vision loss associated with Stargardt disease is caused by the death of photoreceptor cells in the central portion of the retina called the macula.
The retina is the delicate light-sensing tissue lining the back inside wall of the eye. Photoreceptor cells in the retina provide vision by conveying information from the visual field to the brain. The macula is responsible for sharp central vision — for tasks like reading, watching television, and looking at faces.
Decreased central vision is a hallmark of Stargardt disease. Side vision is usually preserved. Stargardt disease typically develops during childhood and adolescence. Also involved in Stargardt disease is a region beneath the macula called the retinal pigment epithelium.
While there are currently no treatments for Stargardt disease, the Foundation is supporting several promising avenues of research, including gene, stem cell and drug therapies.
For the latest research advances for Stargardt disease treatments, refer to the Foundation publication Stargardt Disease: Research Advances.

UV blocking sunglasses are generally recommended for outdoors. For people who already have significant vision loss, low vision aides are available.

Edupunk and student centred learning.

George Machlan 
http://www.wiziq.com/myeslfriends
We do not need "them", we only need each other.

This group of pilgrims called "The Edupunk" are seeking a new paradigm for online learning. We hold to several core principals:
1. All can teach, all should teach
2. Mistakes and willing to risk mistakes are much prefered over the false goal of perfection.
3. Fun activities and gaming are not only more engaging, they are the key to a sustainable model for learning... anything.
4. Live interaction and group activities create the basis for deep and experiential learning.
5. Accountability and competition is the basis of our community. We build and only associate with leaders who can recognize that they and every member have knowledge to share.
http://quickshout.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/edupunk-and-student-centred-learning.html

Edupunk is a term that was first coined by Jim Groom, an instructional technologist working at the University of Mary Washington and it is a reaction against the attempts of corporate interests and commercialism to reframe learning into commercially defined products and applications.

Edupunk encourages more of a student centred and ‘do it yourself’ approach to the use of technology in education - student centred because it focuses on using the tools and applications students will need and use in their everyday lives, and these are very unlikely to be interactive whiteboards and learning management systems,  and ‘do it yourself’ because it relies on the teacher to assess the needs of the students and work with them to develop materials and activities that will broaden their understanding and use of these tools and help them to apply them to learning.

Of course this puts a considerable burden onto teachers and demands that they broaden their knowledge of technology and develop the ability to utilise an ever widening range of tools to help students achieve their learning goals.

In the training work that I do with teachers around the world I try to focus on a very broad range of tools and web based applications, so much so that I’m often asked, ‘Well isn’t there one tool or one place we can go that can do all this?’ but I’m sad to say that I don’t think there is a ‘one tool’ solution and I’m not really sure that there should be.EDU (Education)
+ PUNK ( a non-traditional attitude)
= EDUPUNK
Edupunk English is the current course offering by George (the author of this blog) at WizIQ http://www.wiziq.com/myeslfriends
an online learning portal.  The main goals of this course are:
1.    English Fluency
2.    Affordable
3.    Interesting & fun
4.    Friendly
English fluency, particularly in spoken English, has become one of the biggest needs world-wide.  At Edupunk English, we will focus primarily on activities that will challenge and grow your ability to speak comfortably.  There are no secrets in our methods.  The more you talk, the better you will become both at speaking clearly and without effort (fluency). George is not a traditional “teacher," rather he is an accomplished coach and encourager.  A constant focus on technique and practice will produce results that no amount  of traditional classes will give.
Affordable…  Value in online lessons is viewed in many ways.  We at Edupunk English know that most students need to be very cost conscious in today’s tough world economy. To find out more about the costs, please visit the “Join Us” tab at the top of this page.  Note that if you pause the mouse over that tab you will also see some sub-pages for those who need financial help.
Interesting ( = fun), why?  Because any learning system, to be sustainable, must be enjoyable.  Very few of us can develop the sustained effort and disciplined study to achieve success in an abstract subject area like English for the sake of English alone.  Unless you happen to be an English teacher, English is not one of your “fun” activities.  Only by finding a vehicle for your learning of English can we hope to make learning of English truly painless and “easy”.  That is why, even in our more traditional areas like grammar,   we find ways to make it interesting and even fun with games.
Friendly,  yes friendly!  Your American coach George is not interested in being a respected, all-wise professor for you to worship and lookup to.  He is a fun-loving person who happens to be a native speaker.  The best relationship for learning is to become partners and co-discoverers of the world by exploring English together.  This play is not without goals; rather it will be a joint discovery of many areas that we both find interesting.  If we can do this together, as equals, we both are empowered in our future endeavours.  If we keep up the traditional model of all-knowing teacher and submissive student, only one of us are empowered (the teacher), and the student will always have to depend on others to meet their goals in life.  So, let’s be friends and accountable to each other in our mutual path for English fluency.

Follow us on Facebook ( www.facebook.com/myESLfriends ) for course updates and blog posts about this English course.  NOTE: if you click “like” on the page, you will see the updates on your wall and be notified of free classes if you do not join the paid course.

Macy Gray I Try





MACY GRAY LYRICS
"I Try"

Games, changes and fears
 When will they go from here
 When will they stop
 I believe that fate has brought us here
 And we should be together
 But wer,e not
 I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
 I'll keep it cool but I'm fiendin.
 I try to say goodbye and I choke
 I try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near
 Goodbye and I choke
 I try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it, it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near

 I may appear to be free
 But I'm just a prisoner of your love
 I may seem alright and smile when you leave
 But my smiles are just a front
 I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
 I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
 I try to say goodbye and I choke
 I try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near

 Here is my confession
 May I be your possesion
 Boy I need your touch
 Your love kisses and such
 With all my might I try
 But this I can't deny
 I play it off but im dreamin of you
 I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
 I try to say good bye and I choke
 I try to walk away and I stumble
 Though I try to hide it it's clear
 My world crumbles when you are not near
