His theories have been well-known throughout the teaching world and have contributed to the many philosophies and theories of how to best instruct students who are acquiring a second language. <object width="400" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RsQ1tFLwldY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RsQ1tFLwldY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="241"></embed></object> <img style="float:left;margin:10px;border:none;" src="http://www.seosolution.us/images/web-application-development.jpg" width="271" /> <object width="400" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nYkdrAPrdcw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nYkdrAPrdcw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="241"></embed></object> Krashen designed the book to complement the real-life experiences of English-language teachers while reintroducing them to theories of language acquisition and research about applied linguistics. According to Krashen, the main idea of the book can be summarized as follows: The best methods [for second language acquisition] are therefore those that supply 'comprehensible input' in low anxiety situations, containing messages that students really want to hear (14). Affective Filter Hypothesis One of the five key hypotheses of second language acquisition that Krashen discusses is the Affective Filter Hypothesis. In this hypothesis, Krashen shows that motivation, self-confidence, and anxiety all play a prominent role in language acquisition. These factors become crucial in the process of language acquisition, either heightening or interfering with a students ability to progress. Krashen shows that students who are highly motivated, have a strong sense of self, and enter a learning situation with a low level of anxiety are much more likely to be successful language acquirers than those who do not. Students who have a low level of motivation, low self-esteem, and high anxiety will encounter a wall when it comes to acquiring language and will not be able to progress as naturally or as quickly as their peers who are not blocked by these factors. Affective Filter Is Key but Not Sufficient on Its Own In his hypotheses, Krashen strongly distinguishes between language learning and language acquisition, explaining that language learning is a conscious process focused on the grammatical rules of a language while acquisition is more of a subconscious process that allows production of a language over time with less focus on rules. Krashen shows that the affective filter hypothesis is most effective when we are dealing with students who are acquiring language rather than memorizing rules. Krashen goes on to explain that although a low affective filter is crucial to acquiring language, by itself it is not enough. The learner must also be provided with comprehensible input. This means that the information coming in (vocabulary and content knowledge) must be understandable to the student. When the input is understandable, but slightly outside of the students current level of ability to spontaneously produce it, this is when the most language is acquired. How to Lower the Affective Filter in the Classroom In order to lower students' affective filters, teachers can provide a variety of activities and modes of instruction that will motivate students and reduce their anxiety levels. Some of the ways that teachers can lower the affective filter are as follows: <img style="float:right;margin:10px;border:none;" src="http://arcsofttechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Web-Application-Development.jpg" width="396" /> Provide both oral and written instructions when possible. This will double a student's chances of completing the task correctly, thereby lowering anxiety.Provide activities that are interesting and intriguing. For example, discussing world events, popular culture, or new technology can be great ways to draw students in.Provide materials that relate to the students' real lives when possible. For example, if the students are part of a specialized program such as an auto mechanic program or a cooking program, teachers can provide information that is related to these topics to keep students engaged.Allow for jokes and relaxed conversation at certain timesRefrain from orally correcting students. Oral correction is generally not very effective, and it has the negative side-effect of creating a classroom climate where students are reluctant to share ideas and answers out of a fear of being wrong.Allow students to submit answers anonymously. They can write them on 3x5 cards or use whiteboard markers (or chalk) to put answers on the board. When this strategy is used, incorrect answers can be corrected without embarrassing the student who made the error. This allows each students to see that he/she is "normal" - each person in the class is growing and developing and still makes mistakes, just like they do. This strategy also helps give students a feeling of success because they can also be praised for the originality and content of their submissions.Reinforce the idea that language acquisition and development takes time and that students are not expected to be perfect in the beginning stages.Keep in mind that lowering the affective filter can be a delicate balance sometimes. Providing an activity that is engaging to the students but is too difficult may result in feelings of failure for the students and providing activities that are comprehensible but outside the students' realm of interest may result in lowered motivation. Thus, providing activities that will build on students knowledge AND challenge them at an appropriate level is the best combination because it will build motivation and confidence.Using Krashen's Theory to Create an Effective and Productive Classroom Environment Overall, Krashens theory provides reinforcement for what most teachers already do in their classroom: engage students at an appropriate level and push them to acquire more knowledge. The Affective Filter Hypothesis thus provides a good starting place for teachers who are looking to refine their teaching techniques and make the classroom experience more enjoyable and productive for their students. Knowledge of the affective filter can assist teachers in heightening their students self confidence and motivation, thereby increasing language development, and leading to a consistently positive classroom experience for English language learners.

Pregnant? Use Your SmartPhone: 12 Best Pregnancy Apps - 29 Feb 2016 10:18

Tags:

[[html]]Not sure what to expect when you're expecting? Your smartphone can help. Pregnancy apps are a blooming niche. A search on the Android app store Google Play and the iPhone App Store produced around 1,000 results. ByteMobile, a research firm that anonymously sources data traffic statistics from the 3G and 4G networks, meaning they monitor actual usage activity of mobile users worldwide, released its first quarter 2013 Mobile Analytics Report in February. According to the report, on average, 47 percent of total mobile subscribers using one or more health app are using a pregnancy-related app. <img style="float:right;margin:10px;border:none;" src="http://superconeng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/web-application.jpg" width="315" /> There are apps for monitoring your baby bump, apps that provide check lists to help with "baby brain," apps that provide a list of foods that are pregnancy no-no's. There is even an app that will morph photos of you and your partner's faces together to show what your baby might look like. WebMD, the health and medical online database — or as some like to call it, the self-diagnosis website — this week released WebMD Pregnancy, a free app for iPhone that provides "hundreds of doctor-approved multimedia information and advice" for expectant mothers. This app is all-encompassing. It includes 3-D visuals of a mother's changing body as well as the baby's development week-to-week (based on the due date), a check-list of common questions to ask the doctor (based on each pre-natal appointment), a symptoms tracker, a contraction timer, tips for healthy pregnancy and articles targeted to your current trimester. But there are plenty of other pregnancy apps that can help moms-to-be prepare for pregnancy. We shifted through dozens of apps to help new parents. Click through the list to see some of our favorites. Disclaimer: Most pregnancy apps are created just for fun and are not approved or sponsored by medical professionals. Always raise any and all questions or concerns about your pregnancy with your doctor. Trying for ConceptionPeriod Tracker, Free for Android and iPhoneAt first glance, the Period Tracker looks more flowery than a tampon commercial, but don't let that put you off. This app, which was created by GP International LLC, is very user-friendly. It tracks your period and ovulation cycles every month with just the press of a button. After you enter start and end dates for your period, it then logs and calculates the average period start date over the course of three months to predict the start date for future periods, ovulation days and fertile days — all of which appear on a month-by-month calendar. Users can also mark "intimate" days on the calendar. The Period Tracker allows users to note moods and symptoms, such as acne, body aches and cramps, by date. In the app's Period Log, users can write their questions or thoughts to share with their doctor later. Trying for ConceptionKindara Fertility, Free for iPhoneThe Kindara Fertility app is a little overwhelming, at first, but anyone who is super detail-oriented will love this app. A lot less flowery than other ovulation trackers, Kindara breaks down your menstrual cycle and all those days in between by fluid type and flow, plotting them on a chart over the course of 30 days and noting which days the user is ovulating. It also lets you keep track of your body temperature — because your temperature tends to rise a few degrees when you are ovulating — as well as moods, OPK results, spotting and pain levels so you can talk to your doctor about it at your next visit. The click-through tutorial that walks users through the app after it is first downloaded is also appreciated. Monitoring the BumpBabyBump Pregnancy, Free for Android and iPhoneThe BabyBump Pregnancy app, created by Alt12 Apps, Inc., not only counts down the days left before your due date and what week you are currently in your pregnancy, it also tells you what symptoms you might be feeling and when. For example, the app tells you in Week 18 you might be feeling dizzy and reassures you that is normal. It couples that with diagrams and illustrations, like the ones you would see in an OB/GYN office, that show what the baby would look like and how it should be positioned in the womb from week to week. BabyBump also connects you to community message boards within the app to offer users discussions on almost everything, from general support to baby name ideas, and to share photos of your growing bump. Monitoring the BumpPregnancy/Sprout, Free for iPhoneWhat made the Sprout app by Med ART studios stand out from other pregnancy apps is that it offers full-screen, 3-D interactives of how the fetus, its organs, limbs and facial features develop from week to week. Sort of like Cliffs Notes from the "Gray's Anatomy" reproductive section, each slide in the app shows the next stage in fetus' development with three to four buttons per slide that pop up with interesting facts. For example, on the Week 21 slide, one of the buttons pop up with, "Your developing fetus now often hiccups." Similar to other apps, Sprout has a "The Doc Says" tab, which offers a week-by-week explanation of symptoms you are probably experiencing as the fetus grows. It also includes a weight tracker, a baby kick counter, a contraction timer and an organizer to keep track of appointments and prepare for your baby's arrival, including details ranging from what to put in the hospital bag to essential items for bringing the baby home, such as a car seat. Planning for Baby's ArrivalPeaceful Nursery, $0.99 for iPhoneFor all you organic and eco-friendly — and expectant — enthusiasts out there, this app is for you. Peaceful Nursery app by Spirit Quest World provides a shopping list for an eco-friendly nursery, including suggestions for an organic crib mattress, organic cotton crib sheets and other times. The app also has tips for how to have a healthier home for your baby, such as opening windows from time to time for better ventilation. Planning for Baby's ArrivalThere are several pregnancy apps that include a checklist for what to pack in your hospital bag for when you go into labor. What sets the BabyBag app by Andreas Krawczyk apart is that it lets users create several customized "packlists" for you, your partner, your baby — heck, even grandma-to-be can have a list. Other apps only offered a checklist for "mommy's bag" or "mommy, daddy and baby's bag." This app gives users a bit more freedom to personalize their lists. Each packlist has three tabs: all, which shows the full list of what you select to put in your bag; packed, which shows only the items you have checked off; and missing, which shows the items you haven't checked off. But one of the best features is that the app allows you to set a "first pack reminder" and a "second pack reminder" alert by date and time — your due date, perhaps. <object width="400" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PVfJnltHIM4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PVfJnltHIM4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="241"></embed></object> Planning for Baby's ArrivalMy Pregnancy Today, Free for AndroidMy Pregnancy Today app by BabyCenter is one of the most popular pregnancy apps in the Google Play store, with more than one million downloads in the past month. It is another one of the all-encompassing pregnancy apps, with week-by-week fetal development images, explanations for how your pregnant body will change over time and a due date calculator, to name a few, but the "Check List" is one of the best features of this app. Designated as its own tab, the Check List breaks down week-by-week lists of suggestions for what you could be doing to stay healthy and prepare for labor. For example, in Week 16, the app says you should be doing kegel exercises and making a prenatal appointment for your first trimester. Staying HealthyFoods to Avoid When Pregnant, $0.99 for iPhoneThis app could not be more straightforward. Its name says it all. The Foods to Avoid When Pregnant app, created by LitCharts, provides full menus of all those foods you are supposed to avoid when expecting and breaks them down into eight main categories: cheese and dairy, dressing and condiments, drinks and beverages, fish and seafood, frozen and prepared foods, meat and eggs, pates and spreads, and vegetables. From there, the app breaks the categories down even further into different ways those foods are prepared and what pregnant women should and should not eat. For example, the meat and dairy section is broken down into six more categories. One section, labeled "Eggs, Cooked," says "cooked eggs are safe for pregnant women to eat but under-cooked eggs could be contaminated with salmonella," so pregnant women should avoid runny or soft-boiled eggs. Similar for Android: Pregnancy Food Guide, $2.99 Staying HealthyPregnant and FIT!, $3.99 for iPhoneThere are several apps for both iPhone and Android devices that offer pilates, yoga and other exercise moves specifically tailored to pregnant women — again, please consult your doctor first — but many those apps seemed to be on the pricey side. Some were selling for as much as $9.99. Pregnant and FIT! by Brooklyn Academy Roots LLC is on the pricey end, as far as apps go, at $3.99, but the clean and user-friendly layout made this app seem worth it. First, the home screen asks users if they want to do a 30-minute workout or a full-body one. The next screen asks users to select a workout based on intensity: "Mama's Tired, Feeling Good or Super Mom." Then, it lists the type of equipment you need and shows step-by-step exercise instructions, complete with photos. Staying HealthyI'm Pregnant, Free for AndroidI'm Pregnant by Kolsoft is another all-encompassing app that includes week-by-week explanations of changes in your body and fetal development, a calendar, a weight tracker, a kick counter, packing check lists and a notes, or "diary," section. But what made this app different is it also offers tips for healthy eating during conception and pregnancy, as well as fitness exercises for pregnant women. While in LaborContraction Timer, Free for AndroidSay you don't want all the bells and whistles of 3-D images, weight trackers and doctor's appointment reminders, but the big day has arrived and contractions have started. Instead of trying to time your contractions with a wristwatch, consider a contraction timer app. The Contraction Timer app by James Ots looks almost like an app marathoners might use to track their training runs. The app monitors contractions in intervals with start time and duration by the press of a button, and then tracks how they increase over time. While in LaborContraction Monitor, Free for iPhoneThe Contraction Monitor app by Maxwell Software is a little more in-depth than most contraction timing apps. Monitoring contraction frequency and time intervals, the Contraction Monitor allows users to rate how intense the contraction is on a scale from "very mild" to "very strong." It then generates a summary of your progress, complete with charts. For more of a bare-bones, stopwatch-type contraction counter, the Full Term-Labor Contractor Timer by Mustansir Golawala, free for iPhone, was super easy to use. BONUS: A Pregnancy App for Menm Pregnancy, $2.99 for iPhoneAside from obviously being stereotypical, the m Pregnancy app has some fun features for men with pregnant partners, especially those who might roll their eyes at the idea of reading pregnancy books. The app, created by Double Dip Media, Inc., shows the fetus' development in increments a man can understand. For example, it tells you that a 10-week-old fetus is 1.2 inches long, or about the size of a beer cap. The app also includes pregnancy facts and tips for dads-to-be, such as foods your partner should avoid when she is pregnant and how to help her prepare for delivery. It even has an odometer-like "Score Board" that counts down to the baby's due date. <a href='http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/pregnant-smartphone-12-best-pregnancy-apps/story?id=18713241'>http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/pregnant-smartphone-12-best-pregnancy-apps/story?id=18713241</a> [[/html]] - Comments: 0

Organic Food - InfoBarrel - 24 Feb 2016 18:40

Tags:

[[html]]What is Organic Food? Organic food is food that is produced without using herbicides, pesticides, or growth hormones. Organic food should have no artificial preservatives, flavoring, or ingredients. Choosing to eat organic food can help to reduce the amount of toxins that are put into your body on a daily basis. Organic Farming Farming is the mass production of foods. Farms grow acres of a single type of food in order to produce enough of that type of food to feed a huge number of people. Organic farming is becoming a popular alternative to conventional farming methods. As more and more people choose to consume only organic produce the financial rewards for using organic farming methods is increasing. Crops are grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides and the fertilizer used is from natural sources. Organic Gardening <img style="float:right;margin:10px;border:none;" src="http://superconeng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/web-application.jpg" width="315" /> Gardening is farming on a much smaller scale. It is something that a household can do to ensure that the food that is being consumed is indeed organic. Organic gardening stresses the use of compost and other organic fertilizers, while avoiding toxic pesticides and herbicides. When growing your own organic food you know what has gone onto and into the soil. It keeps the runoff that is going into the groundwater from containing chemicals that can hurt the environment. Organic Baby Food Organic baby food is created using organically grown food products. Meat, dairy, fruits, and vegetables are grown using the minimum amount of chemicals. More and more parents are choosing to go organic when deciding what food to feed to their babies. You can create your own organic baby food at home using organic produce that you've grown or purchased. People are choosing not to put food that has been grown with poisonous chemicals into the food that they feed their infants. Herbicides and pesticides that can kill insects and plants, can certainly damage a delicate human baby. Organic Dog Food Humans aren't the only ones going organic today. Our canine companions also deserve healthy alternatives. Pet foods generally get the bad end of the butcher shop, but when you go with organic dog food you will at least be getting food that has not been chemically altered and processed. Dogs don't care if the food is organic or not but the owners do. If you feed yourself organic food does your beloved pet deserve any less? Organic Cat Food Organic cat food is grown and processed using as few chemical additives as possible. Cats and dogs have different nutritional needs, so when feeding cats use cat food. Fish and poultry are common ingredients in cat food. Any toxins that may be in the water that the fish are harvested from can be transferred to the fish that is living there. Organic food is a safe and healthy alternative to foods that are highly processed and may contain chemicals left over from growing the crops. Organic food can be more expensive than conventionally produced food, but when the health of the family is concerned, is price the most important thing? <a href='http://www.infobarrel.com/Organic_Food'>http://www.infobarrel.com/Organic_Food</a> [[/html]] - Comments: 0

I am planning to learn web application development. Which language and framework should i learn ? - 24 Feb 2016 18:38

Tags:

[[html]]Just html to start with, then css. <img style="float:left;margin:10px;border:none;" src="http://image.slidesharecdn.com/opencartwebapplicationdevelopment-150916103703-lva1-app6892/95/open-cart-web-application-development-1-638.jpg?cb=1442399920" width="354" /> Forget frameworks if you want to be a serious developer. <img style="float:right;margin:10px;border:none;" src="http://arcsofttechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Web-Application-Development.jpg" width="396" /> Learn PHP then Javascript. With those four, you can do anything for any web site! <object width="400" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/nYkdrAPrdcw&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/nYkdrAPrdcw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="241"></embed></object> Once you get in to using PHP, you will start to collect fragments of code you use more than once. They accumulate and become your own personal libraries. My own set totals about 20 - 30K depending what facilities I include in a site. From a customers / site users point of view, it does everything a framework such as Wordpress can, but it's 1000 times smaller and many times faster… <object width="400" height="241"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MlF1mf6s94w&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MlF1mf6s94w&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="241"></embed></object> The only library add-on i've ever found useful is the "Smarty" templating system. That allows the functional PHP code and the HTML presentation side or each page to be kept in separate files, which makes editing and debugging far easier than with mixed php/html in each page.

The transition from a mouse-and-click interface on desktop devices to a touch-based interaction on tablets and laptops has required companies to invest in significant re-development efforts and software engineering resources to optimize the user experience. With Sencha GXT 4 now providing support for touch and gestures at the core of the framework, Java developers can easily build and deploy rich, data-centric HTML5 applications for both desktops and tablets, and mobilize existing GXT applications.

Components include HTML5 grids, trees, lists, forms, menus, toolbars, panels and windows. GXT 4 also introduces Triton, a new GXT theme that is optimized for the tablet application experience. Triton enables the use of a wider contact surface, suitable for fingertips on tablets. Touch screen device support in GXT 4 includes: Gesture Recognizers - Gesture Recognizers combine browser touch events such as touchstart, touchmove and touchend, and synthesize them into gestures. GXT 4 implements Gesture Recognizers to convert touch events into logical gestures such as double tap, and long press. Touch-Enabled Components - All of the out-of-the-box GXT components have been enhanced to respond to touch and gestures. In most cases, developers will not need to update their application code to take advantage of these features. Touch Scroller Improves the browser scrolling experience on touch-sensitive devices. Support for GWT 2.8 and Java 1.8 are now included.
