How to Change the World: What I Learned From Steve Jobs

How to Change the World: What I Learned From Steve Jobs:

“Some things need to be believed to be seen. When you are jumping curves, defying/ignoring the experts, facing off against big challenges, obsessing about design, and focusing on unique value, you will need to convince people to believe in what you are doing in order to see your efforts come to fruition. People needed to believe in Macintosh to see it become real. Ditto for iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Not everyone will believe—that’s okay. But the starting point of changing the world is changing a few minds. This is the greatest lesson of all that I learned from Steve.” Guy Kawasaki

Thank You Mr. Jobs …

Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

” No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don’t want to die to get there.

And yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.

And that is as it should be. Because death is very likely the single best invention of life.

It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new.

[…]

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Steve Jobs

Top five sunscreen mistakes almost everyone makes - CTV News

Top five sunscreen mistakes almost everyone makes - CTV News:

***Not applying enough: “You’re supposed to put a shotglass for the whole body,” Skotnicki says. That amounts to about a teaspoon per exposed body part. Not applying enough makes the sunscreen less effective, turning an SPF 30 into more of an SPF 15.

***Not applying it soon enough: For sunscreen to be properly absorbed into the skin, it should be applied at least 30 minutes before going outside, Skotnicki says. Once outside, it should be reapplied every two hours.

***Not buying broadband protection: The SPF, or sun protection factor, tells you how a sunscreen protects from UVB rays. “The SPF doesn’t tell you anything about UVA protection, so you have to look for broadband,” Skotnicki says. “You want UVA protection as well as UVB.”

***Assuming that makeup and moisturizers with built-in sunscreens have you covered: These products are generally not applied heavily enough to provide real sun protection. They’re also rarely reapplied.

***Using the wrong formulation: Titanium- or zinc-based sunscreens (physical block sunscreen) are best for kids, particularly toddlers, to avoid the chemicals of regular sunscreens. Spray sunscreens are best for hairy men.

CBC News - Calgary - Students can soon 'Tweet' in class:

CBE is years ahead of Calgary Catholic schools when it comes to technology. Good for you CBE!

Our students (at Calgary Catholic Schools) don’t even have access to email! CBE has had student email for quite some time. Come on Calgary Catholic! Really?!? The world is using Web 3.0 and we are still in the 1990’s!
