Hottest news of the day---
WHY EDUTAINMENT IS EFFECTIVE:
Edutainment is a term coinage, similar to 'infotainment,' that expresses the marriage of education and entertainment in a work or presentation such as a television program or a Web site. The most educationally effective children's programs on television (Sesame Street, The Electric Company, Mr. Rogers) could be classed as edutainment.
One main reason that so many students do not do well is that they fail to develop the basic (root) skills needed on an elementary level to grasp words and numbers. Language and Math are based upon “symbols”---symbols such as: letters “a, b, c, d, e,---“ and other symbols, such as punctuation marks. Students must learn the meaning and use of these “symbols”---and then they can build upon those skills with more advanced literacy ability.
The bottom line for education is that emphasis must be placed upon “building skills.” Students must learn the basic skills necessary for learning to read and do math. If they do not gain such skills, all else will be extremely difficult for them.
Likewise, acquiring skills to understand people of different cultural groups, of different religious beliefs, and simply learning good human relation skills --- requires that we learn basic social skills. Although there are numerous books on the topic of ‘how to teach students of various racial and cultural groups, far too many schools do not employ these concepts and methods.
In far too many cases, the school curriculum is filled with lessons, pictures, and stories about and of the White (Caucasian) people. Blacks, Hispanics, Orientals (and other people of color) have traditionally been invisible in most textbooks, teaching aides, films, etc. Studies show that African-Americans (Blacks) and other so-called minority students perform better when they see role models, photos, achievers, leaders, etc. who are just like them. The schools need to present more stories that inspire, encourage and show Blacks (and other minorities) in a positive and successful light. We need classes in African-American History and more emphasis upon Multi-Cultural Studies, which includes presentations of diverse racial and ethnic groups.
WHAT WORKS?---- RESEARCH HAS SHOWN....Group (cooperative) exercises, games, activities, role playing, music, art, dramas, visual aids, story-telling, and that which elicits emotions of pleasure.
Play is very important to learning.
We promote a variety of games, exercises and educational activities.

EDUTAINMENT EXERCISE
Historical Achievers Exercise
The “Who Did What?” Game
Objective: To learn to match pictures of famous historical achievers with their actions and accomplishments. To identify as many achievers as possible and be able to verbally describe one of their accomplishments.
Facilitator: There must one a teacher or facilitator who regulates everything and makes sure that players are giving legitimate responses. The teacher can set a time limit for playing at the start of the game.
Preparation: Participants must make a list of at least 25 famous leaders & achievers….such as:
· Rosa Parks
· Mary McCleod Bethune
· Garrett Morgan
· Abraham Lincoln
· Betsy Ross
· Frederick Douglass
· Gwendolyn Brooks
· Alex Haley
· Cesar Chavez
· Susan B. Anthony
· Benjamin Banneker
After writing this list, participants seek pictures and illustrations of these persons in magazines, newspapers, old books, and from the Internet.
Using 3”X 5” cards, paste the pictures of these achievers on cards—one
Picture per card. The deck of cards is placed in the middle of a table with all cards---face-down.
How to Play: There must be a minimum of 3 players and maximum of 9 to make this game fun and effective. If there is a large class or group, they can be divided into smaller groups.
Each player takes turns and selects one card from the deck of cards that was prepared by the group. The player has up to 30 seconds to name one major achievement or important characteristic about the person on the card that s/he drew from the deck.
FOR EXAMPLE: The card is: Abraham Lincoln
Possible good Response: Abraham Lincoln was president of the USA during the Civil War and became famous for officially ending slavery.
If successful, then the same player gets to keep that card and then draw another card from the deck. This process is repeated until the player gives an incorrect or illegitimate response (or fails to respond).
If that player fails to name something (legitimate), then s/he must pass the card to the next player. The next player has 15 seconds to do the same. If the 2nd player gives a correct response, the 2nd player keeps that card that was passed on to him/her and then draws another card from the deck.
If the 2nd player fails to give a correct response, then the card is replaced to the bottom of the deck. The next player resumes the game by drawing another card from the top of the deck.
This same process goes around the circle of participants until someone wins more cards than anyone else---or until the facilitator says that time is up!
THE WINNER is the player who accumulates the most cards.

EDUTAINMENT GAME
Tell a Group Story
" Tell A Group Circle Story"
Objective: To create a tale and build on it and arrive at a meaningful conclusion, while learning about cultural diversity, racial harmony and/or Black history...The GOAL of this game is to make a sensible story with a plot.
Supplies needed:
(a) A score card for each participant.
(b) pictures, audio aids, graphics, maps, or other items in order to stimulate the start of the story....
FOR EXAMPLE:
The teacher holds up a picture of a famous African-American inventor--
Dr. George Washington Carver.
How to Play: Participants sit in a circle facing each other.
This game is best played with at least 4 people and no more than 12.
a) The first player looks at whatever stimulus the leader has presented to the group and begins to tell a story based upon that--- FOR EXAMPLE:
"Once upon a time there was a man who was curious about how he could use plants to make other products that might help people...."
b) THEN THE NEXT STUDENT adds more to this story..but no more than 3 sentences.
c) Each student must add at least one decent sentence (and no more than 3 sentences) to the story that was passed on from the previous student... No one student should dominate the time.
d) After the story has gone completely around the circle 2 times, each participant is then required to get a pencil and paper and write the CONCLUSION (or moral or ending) to that story.
e) Each participant will have up to 3 min. to write the "conclusion" of that story. Then they must present what they have written to the entire group orally.
SCORING: Then each student will rate each story---
1= Excellent; 2= Good; 3= Fair; 4= Bad, poor, non-sense.
Players put their name at the top of their own Score Card and pass it around the group. Each of the other players will give that person’s “conclusion” a number to rate it.
The workshop leader will add up the group's scores for each participant and then select the best "conclusion"---and give awards or prizes.
WINNERS--- These "Conclusions" must be factual and make sense. They must show that the participant did listen to the story that was created by the group---and that it lead to a logical outcome.

....Middletown Roots--
-"READ THIS BOOK TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE TIMES--"the good old days"---which Senator Trent Lott was recalling with such fondness.....
---by Melvia F. Miller
MELVIA IS THE AUTHOR OF THESE ADVENTURES...AND THE FOLLOWING IS A....SNEAK PEEK at one of the chapters from the books:
INTRODUCTION:
In 1924 and 1925 studies were conducted in the small industrial city that later became well-known as “Middletown USA.” This was one of the first scholarly works to attempt to describe the culture and social environment of a typical American city. Helen and Robert Lynd published 2 books, based on these studies, titled: “Middletown” (1929) and “Middletown in Transition” (1937).
Those authors described Middletown as a “good specimen of American culture…” Middletown is a small city in eastern Indiana on the White River, 54 miles northeast of Indianapolis, IN. They described the Teacher’s College as one that would grow into a major University.
Forty years later, another group of scholars went back to Middletown and repeated additional studies. They wrote a book titled: Middletown Families (1982). These books discuss the following topics in scholarly ways:
Religion and the Family
Working Women
The class system
Sex and Marriage
However, little mention is given to the conditions or life-style of the African-American citizens who live in Middletown. The only major comment made in all of these studies states, “There is a surplus of black children and a deficit of young black adults….” This factor was attributed to the lack of decent jobs available to Blacks in Middletown.
Unfortunately these books do not examine the plight, history or conditions of Middletown’s Black population. During the time that the Lynds conducted their studies, this city’s government was operated by the Ku Klux Klan. Middletown was plagued by racial turmoil, protests, and segregation. The African-Americans who lived in Middletown often called it "Dodge City"---likening it to the famous cowboy TV show.
The stories in our book “MIDDLETOWN ROOTS” are derived from the diary and memoirs of our super-hero …Melina…who became known as: “Super Sistah.” Because of her exceptional writings that she did about the situation. Since Melina was born and raised in Middletown, they are her actual accounts of events that took place in Middletown USA. The stories are true…but some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
MANY BOOKS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT MIDDLETOWN--BUT NONE LIKE THIS ONE !
SECTION 1---
"The Adventures of Super Sistah"
PICTURE IT----- Middletown, Indiana 1948:
Our story begins in 1948 in Middletown, Indiana on a cold December evening when an African-American baby girl was born to Mr. & Mrs. Melanin Milner. They named their baby girl Melina. Melanin and Liza Milner were the descendants of run-away slaves out of Kentucky. Her great-grandparents had escaped from a plantation and lived with Indians. This couple lived on the side of town called: “Brownly”---where all Black people were forced to live.
Most White people lived on one side of town and any other minority groups (e.g.--Mexicans, Africans, Puerto Ricans, etc.) were permitted to live only in certain sectors. Racial segregation was the rule of law in those days. This town became known as “Dodge City.” Middletown was a wild city in those days--filled with gamblers, gangsters, prostitution, and worse!! Crime flourished in Middletown. Mobsters—such as Dillinger--- were known to be active or heavily invested in Middletown’s ‘red light district.’
For the most part---the Black folks in Middletown operated their own stores, barber shops, restaurants, cleaners, and other businesses. There were several African-American churches in Middletown...
The city government for Middletown was run by the Ku Klux Klan and the area was known to be strong-hold for racist activities, lynchings, shoot-outs, boot-leg liquor, and worse. Grandpa and Grandma Milner lived only a few blocks away and were farmers who did "share-cropping" on land owned by a White man, because the law did not permit Black people to own a farm in Indiana then. So, he farmed for another man, and was able to bring home plenty of fresh food for his own family.
Melina grew up on the poor black side of town. The houses there were basically little wooden boxes…nothing fancy. Middletown is in the midst of the ‘cornbelt’ and there were plenty of fields of vegetables…---such as tomatoes, lettuce and corn---growing all around Whitely.
Most of the Black people grew their own vegetables and ate the fruits from the trees. And many of them traded foods with each other. Food was often used as "money" between neighbors in order to trade for other objects that they wanted.
Gardens, food and plants were a significant influence in her life from the time she was a very young girl. She enjoyed gardening in her own back yard.
One of the most popular forms of entertainment was to go fishing in "Clear River." Melina and her entire family often packed up a lunch, chairs and poles and spent most of the day on the river bank. The river was so clear that they could look straight into the water and see the bottom, see fish and other creatures which swam in the river. Upon their return home, their father would clean the fish and cook them for a delicious dinner. Fish was one of Melina's favorite foods.
Sometimes, she and her friends would ride on their bikes to the river and spend nearly all day there, listening to a radio, snacking and talking. The attraction of being directly in contact with plants, water, fish, nature, greenery, and sunshine was very pleasurable. In fact, it was a great escape from the harsh realities that they faced in a cold-hearted society.
One day when Melina was about 14 years old, she was there on the river bank with her sister, brother and father Melanin--- when several loud-mouth rednecks drove up to them in a small raggedy pick-up truck. One of the white men yelled in a sarcastic tone,..."Did you niggers catch anything today?"
Well, Melanin was not in the mood for this crap...so he pulled out a small deringer that he kept in his belt and shot in the air above the white men's heads. They scattered like roaches when they saw the gun. Melanin shouted back at them..."catch this!!!"
They were very accustomed to being harassed and ridiculed by white people in Middletown.
Whenever incidents like this occurred (which was often)--Melina would recall fond memories of times that she and her friends had the chance to mess up some of the ridiculous offensive racist symbols, posters, souvenirs, statuettes, and such. Whenever they had the chance to get away with it, they would bust up one of those insulting black statues or "coon" images....or paint over it. The best part of this activity was getting away scott free---throwing paint on or busting up one of these statues without capture.

"Report on Healing"
GOOD HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH....
THERE ARE 4 BASIC ELEMENTS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH-----(without physicians, drugs, surgery, etc.)---
(1) Good nutritional foods--- vitamins, minerals, herbs, & organic nutrients.
(2) Clean Water
(3) Exercise & fitness
(4) Oxygen and fresh air.
ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS PROVIDE THE BODY WITH THE PROPER TOOLS TO HEAL ITSELF, TO CLEANSE AND TO REGENERATE CELLS....
Because OXYGEN DEFICIENCY is known by doctors and scientists to be a major contributor to the cause of serious disease.... we must also help our bodies receive as much oxygen as possible.
IS THERE SOMETHING SIMPLE THAT ONE CAN DO TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND PREVENT DISEASE?
WHY DO THESE ACTIONS HELP IMPROVE HEALTH ?
Yes--- STEP #1--- Stop bad habits--such as smoking cigarettes, drinking too much liquor, eating too much junk food, being a couch-potato, failing take vitamins & minerals ...etc.
STEP #2---Increase exercise outdoors in sunlight and DRINK MORE WATER ...
STEP #3---Eat more fresh foods, fish, raw fruits, green veggies & herbs. Take vitamins & minerals. Use environment-friendly products. Take care of your body. Increase intake of minerals (espec. calcium) and water.
WATER IMPROVES HEALTH:
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population)
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

**********************
In order to achieve a high level of wellness and fitness, we must approach our lifestyle in a 'wholistic manner.' Wholistic healing is a way of describing how the various aspects of our lives work together in a synergistic manner.
WHOLISTIC (holistic) refers to the concept of 'whole-ness'---involving many aspects of our lives= PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, MENTAL, SOCIAL, FINANCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL, & SPIRITUAL....
The typical form of treatment that medical doctors give is prescription drugs--
" Drugs" of all types (legal or illegal) have bad side-effects and they offer no cures. Drugs are chemical compounds, made in a lab, that can suppress pain or cover up symptoms---but drugs do not rid the body of the cause of the disease or ailment.
The human brain is capable of many amazing feats, including clairvoyance, telepathy, creativity and much more!
OUR SOCIETY IS OBSESSED WITH THE USE OF DRUGS...AND DISEASES ARE RUNNING RAMPANT--- CANCER, ARTHRITIS, DIABETES, MIGRAINE HEADACHES, INSOMNIA, AIDS, RACISM, SEXISM, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, ...(and on and on...)
Our bodies only respond to the strong effects of the drugs---but do not actually heal. The main reason is that drugs are made from inorganic chemicals. They offer little or no nutritional healing value to the body.
DID YOU KNOW that for thousands of years, people have been using plant medicines, herbs, flowers and similar botanicals to improve their health. In fact, some of our modern medical miracles contain herbs and plants as the main "healing" ingredient. The most effective medicines are those that are natural, such as: herbs, flower pollen, organic minerals, etc.--such as:
* ALFALFA ... * ALOE VERA... * ALGAE ...*CAPSICUM...* CHAMOMILE......
* EMU OIL... * GOLDENSEAL ... *GANODERMA.... *GLUCOSAMINE....
* GINSENG... * ECHINACEA.... * MSM.... * ST. JOHN'S WORT ...
* WHEAT GRASS ...............and so on.
There are literally hundreds of herbs and plants that are used for medicines. For thousands of years, people have successfully used herbs, botanicals and other plant remedies for their medicines. An Herb, known as SOMA has been used to cure nearly every disease known to man and is considered to be "sacred." This remarkable herb is found in the Middle East.
FLOWER POLLEN is another wonderful botanical product. It is the ideal food supplement for nearly every ailment. Users report increased resistance to sickness, and allergies. They report that they have more energy and vitality. Flower Pollen is light years ahead of Bee Pollen because it does not contain the fungus and contaminants that are involved with Bee Pollen.
WHY ARE THEY SO EFFECTIVE? Because herbs and medicinal plants are chocked full of nutrients, enzymes, oxygen, and other organic elements that help our bodies to heal.
WHEN ONE SUFFERS FROM A DISEASE, SUCH AS CANCER, ARTHRITIS, PARKINSONS, AIDS (or similar)---- it is merely a signal that this ailing body is lacking in one or more of these necessary aids to good health.
Calcium is an organic mineral that is essential to stimulate your Genetic code (DNA)--which helps the body to heal itself. Calcium also helps the body to get rid of a condition called "acidosis"--which means the body is overly acid.
There is suppose to be a balance in the PH---between acid and alkalinity. Healthy bodies are more alkaline. An alkaline body chemistry can be created by eating more fresh vegetables, fresh foods, minerals, green plants and herbs.
Most of us do not know that our DNA (genetic code) is designed to cause the body to heal itself...to stay young. In order for this DNA to be stimulated---it needs nutrients---especially organic minerals.
DID YOU KNOW?
There can be other causes for your health problems-- unrelated to nutrition.
"Bacteria that have developed immunity to antibiotic drugs pose a large and growing threat to the success of modern medicine. These studies demonstrate that antibiotic resistance is literally streaming across America and what has not been appreciated is the extent of contamination."

========================================================
A cab driver picks up a nun. She gets into the cab, and the cab driver won't stop staring at her. She is a rather pretty thing. She asks him why he is staring and he replies, "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you."
"My dear son, you cannot offend me. When you've have been a nun, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."
"Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2 you must be a Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I am single and I'm Catholic too!"
"OK, pull into the next alley," the nun says.
He does and the nun fulfills his fantasy. They were there for 20 minutes kissing and hugging.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
"My dear child," said the nun, "why are you crying?"
"Forgive me sister, but I have sinned. I lied, I must confess, I'm married and I'm a member of Al-Queda---a Muslim."
So the nun responds IN A DEEP VOICE,...
"That's OK, I'm on the way to a Halloween party, and my name is Kevin."
