Daedunsan Mountain Daejeon Korea

Daedunsan Mountain South Korea

I went to Daedunsan Mountain with Mr Baek. It was a beautiful day to climb the Mountain. We took the cable half way up the Mountain, then walked up and across the red bridge, and walked up to the very top of the Mountain where the Monument is. The walk was almost 4 hours... It is a steep, upward climb all the way, and not very easy. The view from the top is beautiful.

Daejeon Apartment Daejeon South Korea

ladymaggie — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:26:26 -0400

Daejeon is situated in South Korea midway between Seoul and Busan.

It is a central hub and an important town.

I am living on the ground floor in one of these apartments. Its like being in the bottom, and the middle, of an anthill.

The first week I couldn't find my way back to a street, or find the apartment when I came home.

They all look the same, and my apartment name is not visible from the paths.

Its amazing. People all live in these 25 level high-rise buildings all next to each other.

It is my first experience of concentrated high rise, (at a very low level) and I don't really like it.

An ancient Greek astronomical calculator that showed the positions of the sun, Earth and the moon, and outshined any known device for 1,000 years after it, also kept track of something more mundane: when the next Olympics would take place.

Raising a Smart Kid...

Secret to Being Smart...and raising a Smart Kid

http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=the-secret-to-raising-smart-kids

Parents and teachers can engender a growth mind-set in children by praising them for their effort or persistence (rather than for their intelligence), by telling success stories that emphasize hard work and love of learning, and by teaching them about the brain as a learning machine.

A brilliant student, Jonathan sailed through grade school. He completed his assignments easily and routinely earned As. Jonathan puzzled over why some of his classmates struggled, and his parents told him he had a special gift. In the seventh grade, however, Jonathan suddenly lost interest in school, refusing to do homework or study for tests. As a consequence, his grades plummeted. His parents tried to boost their son’s confidence by assuring him that he was very smart. But their attempts failed to motivate Jonathan (who is a composite drawn from several children). Schoolwork, their son maintained, was boring and pointless.
