The Interweb: Font of all knowledge.

In previous posts I pondered why the sudden rush to get babies and Ipads together. Was it a HAL inspired conspiracy? Was Skynet behind it? Did babies with Ipad's envy other babies with Ipad2's or the infamous tablets and Udraw software.

I think I found the answer in the video below.

Much is being made about a flippant comment that led to a donation of an Ipad to a zoo for the gorillas to use. Apparently the gorillas poo-poo'd the idea (figuratively not literally) however the orang-outangs went "ape" for them.

I was watching the enthusiastic primates trying to obtain as much joy as possible with fingers stuck through the cage (they can't hold the Ipad because they may crush it - Woo Hoo!) when the thought occurred to me if they enjoy painting so much why don't the keepers set up some canvasses, edible paints, and an assortment of brushes and let them exercise those creative urges.

The answer is the same for primate or child - convenience for the caregiver. You have to set up the easel, mix the paints, get the crayons, chalk, or pencils, change the paper, make sure they have a smock/old shirt on, don't get dirty, clean up the area, pay attention to what the artist is doing -so exhausting!
 

Ironically when you do bother to set up the easel for the Gorillas (or children) their creativity is boundless (unless curtailed by product orientated environments).

Spend more time outdoors with kids in 2012

Spend more time outdoors with kids in 2012 - Farmington Daily Times

As usual, Christmas 2011 was a wonderful day. My grandkids were blest with many amazing gifts and I had the good fortune to watch many of them open the wrappings. It didn't take long however, for me to realize that most of the gifts were "inside" presents. The average.....child spends 55 hours a week with electronic media. Between DVDs to watch, new computers and phones for social networking, electronic games to master, hundreds of channels of cable/satellite to watch on the big screen TV and iPods/iPads for music and/or more movies, children have little or no time to get any exercise or have interface with the natural world

... kids that spend significant time outdoors are calmer, happier, less likely to be overweight, healthier, better students and more creative.

The farmhouse protects against asthma and allergies

The farmhouse protects against asthma and allergies | ScienceNordic

Interesting study given that asthma and allergies are endemic amongst children born and raised in metropolitan environments. I often wondered whether it was the lack of pollution, use of more home grown foods or early exposure to micro-organisms.

Another reason to let your children get down and dirty outside.

"The reason for that, the study found, is that from an early age, these children were heavily exposed to microorganisms in the farming environment.

....These microorganisms trick the immune system by stimulating it intensely, thus strengthening and balancing it throughout the rest of the children's lives.”

Playing in the mud is okay at HumaNature School

By Erin Crowell

Playing in the mud is okay at HumaNature School

Listen closely to the birds in the forest canopy, taste the edible roots and feel the wind in your hair. This is part of a primary satisfaction – the moments we experience first-hand, inaccessible by television, recollections in a magazine or Facebook status.

Finding an immediate connection to nature awakens discovery of one’s self and others. This is the core curriculum of HumaNature School, the Traverse City-based education program geared toward students of all ages.

UNPLUG AND CONNECT 

Kriya Townsend and Matt Miller started the HumaNature School after attending the Wilderness Awareness School in Washington, the inspiration and basis for HumaNature’s curriculum and structure.

Both Miller and Townsend are from Traverse City and wanted to bring what they learned in Washington back to their hometown.

The Wilderness Awareness School was founded by Jon Young, who is considered a prominent leader in the nature connection movement – a worldwide “campaign” to bring together people, community and nature.

A 2009 report by the Children & Nature Network on “Children’s Nature Deficit” finds that, in comparison to previous generations, more children today • are obese • are less physically active • spend less time outdoors • spend more time in front of media such as television and video games • know less about common wildlife • are supervised more • are vitamin D deficient (which comes from sun exposure) • are less concerned about the environment • are being raised in smaller indoor spaces.

“That disconnection from nature was a huge inspiration for Matt and I to bring this back,” Townsend notes about the nature connection curriculum. “It’s about nurturing and seeing that this is fundamental to being alive.”

There’s a difference between showing the importance of something and allowing one to discover that importance, Townsend added.

“Our niche is establishing a connection,” she explains. “It’s not just telling a child, ‘This is a chestnut tree,’ it’s asking questions and encouraging curiosity.”

HumaNature goes beyond simply identifying plants, animals, rocks and bird calls.

This form of education is called “coyote mentoring,” which goes beyond showing versus telling; rather, it’s a way for the child to come to his or her own conclusion.

A MUST FOR RECESS 

At first, the activities look merely like a bunch of kids at play (adults included), but below the surface is a group learning collectively through experience. This could involve walking barefoot in the grass, running through the woods or digging up edible plants.

Townsend is quick to point to Richard Louv’s 2005 book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children form Nature-Deficit Disorder, to illustrate this. “I knew my woods and my fields; I knew every bend in the creek and dip in the beaten dirt paths. I wandered those woods even in my dreams. A kid today can likely tell you about the Amazon rain forest — but not about the last time he or she explored the woods in solitude, or lay in a field listening to the wind and watching the clouds move,” Louv wrote.

“Play in nature, particularly during the critical period of middle childhood, appears to be an especially important time for developing the capacities for creativity, problem-solving, and emotional and intellectual development,” states Dr. Stephen R. Kellert in his book, Building for Life: Designing and Understanding the Human-Nature Connection,” on the subject of nature and childhood development. “Unfortunately, during at least the past 25 years, the chances for children to directly experience nature during playtime has drastically declined.

For many reasons, most children today have fewer opportunities to spontaneously engage and immerse themselves in the nearby outdoors.”

“Parents will pick up their kids after school and they’ll be covered in dirt,” laughed Townsend, “and they’re ok with it.”

After some time in the program, students will surprise their parents with all the information they’ve picked up through that time spent “playing in the dirt.”

“I’ll receive the information while hiking with the kids,” said Sarah Payette, about two of her three children who are attending Huma- Nature. “They’ll start talking about poisonous and edible plants...all kinds of facts. It seems to come out so naturally.”

NATURE FOR EVERYONE

“Nature school is awesome!” said one child in Jake Moran’s class. Moran, who enrolled in the adult program a few years ago, now serves as a student apprentice.

“It’s exciting to help someone make that connection,” he said.

While children’s programs are heavily attended, the HumaNature School offers a variety of adult programs, including basics in winter survival.

“We learn fire by friction, what trees to use for shelter, how to find dry firewood,” said Townsend. These are skills that teens will also be able to learn at HumaNature.

The adult classes meet every fourth Sunday of the month (excluding December), now through the end of May. Youth classes are available weekly to homeschoolers, Tuesdays for ages 6-12 and fall and spring after-school programs for ages 10-14.

Selling U crap you just don't need

 Hot off the block and already they're already less than half price.

I was drawn to this advertisement in a local electronics catalogue the same way that you stare at an accident as you drive past. You know that it would be better if you didn't see it and remember all that mayhem, carnage but you just can't stop looking at that pointless, useless destruction. In the case of the latest electronic hit from the big three, the pointless, useless destruction of simplicity.

Sony tells me that by buying this peripheral (and the associated UDRAW software and hardware) my "creativity (will) soar to new heights as you discover a world of imagination and learning."

Nintendo suggests that "Once you’ve created your perfect picture, and perhaps applied one of more than 15 post-processing effects to turn it black and white, sepia or neon, there’s still fun to be had. For starters, via the replay function, you can enjoy watching your images unfold again 2x or 4x faster than you originally conjured them up." Oh, please no stop, will the fun ever end. 

Finally the Xbox equivalent promises that the UDRAW drawing software and games are, "innovative features that (will) allow kids to express themselves and bring their imaginations to life".

IT'S AN ELECTRONIC TABLET AND PEN !!!!!!

Just in case you cannot afford these nifty new electronic geegaws consider the time honoured alternatives:

UPaper, Upencils, Ucrayons, UChalk, Upaint and Ubloody impressive.

 

Schools and Daycare Are Top Sources of Kids' Toxic Chemical Exposure

Schools and Daycare Are Top Sources of Kids' Toxic Chemical Exposure | Inhabitots

Do you know where you won't find toxic levels of PCB's?........ rhymes with outdoor playspace.

"New research from the University of Birmingham in England found that daycare centers and classrooms are a significant source of exposure to flame retardants and polycholorinated biphenyls (PCBs) for children from 1 to 6-years-old....inadvertent dust ingestion is a risk particular for kids who crawl on floors and often stick their fingers in their mouths.

HBCD is one of the biggest concerns. The chemical was detected in all dust samples and levels were significantly higher than those recorded in homes and offices. Even though animal studies have linked HBCD exposure to endocrine disruption, the largely used flame retardant is currently unrestricted in the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom. While the research is a cause for concern to scientists, the health effects of long term exposure to these toxic chemicals are largely unknown. Though some flame retardants have been shown to adversely affect the nervous system and reproduction.

Levels of PCBs in the UK daycare centers and schools were similar to concentrations reported in UK homes. However, according to Environmental Health News, data suggests the PCB levels in US daycare centers are higher and may pose a bigger threat to kid’s health."

Which was exactly what I was doing when I read this article.

This is not new, I used to have one when I was young. I took it outside and put it on the Iground and used my    Ifoot to kick it to my Ibrother, then he would pick it up and throw it to me and I would catch it in my Ihands, not even a crystal radio in sight.

BABIES WITH IPADS

BABIES WITH IPADS

Great blog which I think the owners started with that ancient and honoured concept of "Satirical Irony" in mind.
Can't say if all the contributors get the joke.

Further to my previous article on babies being shackled with computers and proud parents who think that if their child can use an "app" they will be the next Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs wasn't even Steve Jobs. Incidentally "room full of monkeys, typewriters, complete works of Shakespeare" thing, here's a cat using a number of "app's" on an Ipad (I guess that gets him a MENSA felllowship), and a bearded dragon playing an app, and a toad ....... get the idea.

Another opponent of pink stuff for girls - Riley lays out the facts, bugger the "studies"

"Riley has an important message for all the toy makers and marketers out there: stop trying to force pink stuff on girls. They like other colors, too. And while you're at it, some girls like superheroes just as much, if not more, than princesses."

Lego targets girls with block and awe campaign

Lego targets girls with block and awe campaign

What's Danish for gender stereo-typing?  I think it's Illbebuggeredif I'dbuythiscråp, possibly an æ or a ø in there somewhere. A pink top with hearts, a pretty skirt and a yellow bow, how thoroughly new age.

"LEGO is launching a bid to win a slice of the lucrative girls' toy market, branching out from its traditionally boy-focused construction blocks. How can a coloured plastic block be sexually   orientated ?

The Danish company developed its new range, the Lego Friends collection, after four years of development, including interviews with several thousand girls and mothers worldwide. Lego said its research found girls wanted more realistic details, characters they could relate to, accessories, interior building and role-play opportunities. Oh really the girls said that all by themselves?

While Lego has made some attempts to attract the girls' market with the pastel-hued Clikits range (very unfortunate name), this will be the first time the company has released a range aimed at girls which uses Lego's core theme of construction.

The senior creative director for the Lego Group, Nanna Ulrich Gudum, said girls wanted Lego that mirrored the boys' experience, but also appealed to their interest in remodelling and redesign ???? whose constructions are they remodelling and redesigning?, and themes like community and friendship. Males don't like community and friendship? 

"What Lego Friends does differently is deliver the beauty, details, accessories, real world themes and need for strong interior play that the research revealed would make all the difference for girls aged five and up,"  And that research substantiated that boys do not need these elements for their cognitive, fine motor, psych-social and language skills. Are you saying the current "boys" range does not address these concepts?  

Lego Friends centres on five girls in a fictional town called Heartlake City. Each of the friends - Olivia, Mia, Andrea, Stephanie and Emma - has a distinct personality (and with one exception a name ending in "A") and interests such as animals, performing arts, invention and design. Of my schoolhood GIRL friends one was interested in cricket, another in football, another in car engines and one was an avid carpenter. 

Lego's brand manager for Australia and New Zealand, Karen Owen, said the range, which will be in stores by March, reflected feedback from parents. ''Lego is all about construction and we do know that girls like to build. Parents have been asking us to come up with an offering for their daughters for a long time. ''Parents value [Lego] because it's not a pre-fabricated toy, a one-trick wonder that rolls out of the box already done.''   Wow that's it, it wasn't Lego who was gender stereo-typing girls it was the parents. Lego is just responding to a "thoroughly researched" ingrained prejudice and attempting to cash in on that "need".  All's well then.

Selfishness, selflessness and altruism

I was thinking about a friends 19 year old daughter the other day.

She's living on a shoestring budget and coping with the hurly burly first year of university. Regardless, she still worked in her spare time to save up enough money so she could fly to the mountain regions of Costa Rica and spend her holidays mixing cement to construct a school for the children of an extremely poor culture.

Three things:
1. I am in awe of her altruism, at the same age I was a stew of hormones and alcohol desperately
    seeking self identity, as self centred as a cyclone,
2. I was wrong in my generalisation about her generation,
3. It's nice to know that you never get to old to be delightfully surprised when you discover your wrong.  

The train of thought which led to this post started off with an article in from the Sydney Morning Herald entitled The stingy rich need to dig deep by Adele Horin in which she discusses the actions and research of Bill Ferris, Dick Smith, Professor Andrew Leigh, Simon Mordant and "the notoriously stingy Australian rich".

She states. "In Australia, the super-wealthy have the best of both worlds. They enjoy opportunities to halve their effective tax rates though salary sacrificing, negative gearing and income splitting through family trusts; as well, they are untouched by a culture of noblesse oblige that in other countries propels the rich to give back to the community. Here the rich, along with everyone else, rely on government to fix social problems and fund services, while pumping their own fortunes into real estate and personal consumption"

Leigh refers to ," A man I described as ''rich'' during an interview recoiled from the adjective on the grounds he was not in the BRWRich List even though he was by any standards immensely wealthy"

Simon Mordant refers to"wealthy folk , prompted by his example, approached him saying they did not know how to give. He was gratified by their seeking his advice, he told me, and shocked they had no idea what to do with their money. They had no passions, and he had to prompt them into thinking about sick relatives and hospitals, their children and schools, and so on, to spark a light."

The second article was from Free Range Kids entitled Kid, 11, Attends a Wake…on His Own. It details how an US 11 year old, Jared, who wasn't allowed outside by himself?,  dressed himself in formal attire and rode a mile on his bicycle to pay his respects to fireman killed on duty. Jared did not know the fireman but had experienced grief, his older half-brother was killed in Iraq very recently.

Both articles got me thinking about how the concepts of selfishness and selflessness and the act of altruism are perceived in our society.

Most people think they know what they mean and give them no further thought. People who don't know what they mean look for a reference, a knowledgeable source that will define things.The Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary, thesaurus and general all round font of knowledge states that to be;
Selfish - is to be concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself : seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others.

Selfless - is to have no concern for ones self and 

Altruism - is unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others or behaviour by an animal that is not beneficial to or may be harmful to itself but that benefits others of its species

From my experience in this world I do not believe that in reality the definitions and actions are so black and white. I believe that selfishness and selflessness can be like cholesterol (good or bad) and on some occasions and in certain situations can be neither of either.

Anyone who has spent time in a profession where they are asked to give of themselves, and survived burnout knows that in order to be continuously selfless one needs to sometimes be selfish. Conversely the act of selflessness can be subject to stage management and opportunism on the part of those that want to to be know publicly, for some gain on their part, as altruists. 

Why is it that when a person who has lots, gives a little of it away we celebrate the occasion as if they should be sanctified. Why is it that when a person who has a little, gives away what they have on a constant basis there is no recognition or regard. Why do we now live in a culture where intelligent? adults claim, "they did not know how to give". 

The answer is simple yet complex. We live in an artificial society that we have allowed to be created around us. From an early age we are bombarded with commercialism, the idea that who we are equates with what we have. We have to have.. the newest, the latest, the greatest. I-pods, I-phones, I-pads, I-tunes, there is no ambiguity in the choice or use of this particular pronoun. Every day in every way we are led to believe that life, and all the people in it, are, or should be, centred around us and our needs.

I have worked at various centres where colleagues have berated very young children to share. Whilst a great ideal, before certain cognitive and moral development occurs children are simply not able to conceptualise the idea, and those that are made aware of the idea understand it as a rule rather than a concept.

We don't share or consider others when we get older because with rare exceptions most of us have no earlier experiences where we are able to practice and consolidate the ideals into our personal life philosophies.
However this does not mean change is not possible. You can start any day, any time, anywhere. Perform a selfless act without benefit to yourself, without anyone knowing, without hope or intent of recompense or recognition - except the joy it will invariably bring to you.

This is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. ~George Bernard Shaw

Green Invasion / Genaro Alva, Claudia Ampuero, Denise Ampuero, Gloria Rojas | Platform Architecture

Green Invasion / Genaro Alva, Claudia Ampuero, Denise Ampuero, Gloria Rojas | Platform Architecture

An exceptional project from the city of Lima. The projects attempts to create free green space in an area whose local government has purposely bowed to developers by ignoring the requirement for urban greening in favour of building density.

To quote the article which has been translated from Spanish, "The rapid growth of the city of Lima has meant that it begins to densify considerably to meet existing demands. Consequently there is a real estate boom which seeks to provide as much as possible m2 aside public recreation spaces. Furthermore, the lack of urban policy by municipalities has led to the recreational spaces for the city such as parks, plazas, boulevards, etc., are considered unimportant in the concept of quality of life or become private clubs with a minimum payment you can access your benefits."

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the Metropolitan Development Plan (PLANDEMET), among others, for each inhabitant of a city, it should offer recreation area 8m2. In our case the city of Lima offers its citizens only 1.98 m2 per inhabitant, ie there is a deficit of about 4800 hectares of recreational areas.

It is against this context that the proposal INVASION GREEN, which seeks demonstrate the lack of recreation areas, the lack of an urban tree planting plan and landscaping to Lima. All this through the occupation of an area in the city wear, which will be recovered as a result will reactivate the public sense of the city. In addition, this appropriation will be reactive, as users involved in the expansion of this invasion that reproduces and grows for the benefit of the city.

The proposal aims to turn the passage Incarnation, used as a pedestrian street parking despite being banned in a large green carpet made ​​of natural grass which will feature furniture made ​​from recycled rubber and plastic (seats , tables, playgrounds, sculptures, etc..) so the green invasion not only has a literal meaning but an ecological sense.

Can you imagine living somewhere you have to pay to go to the park? 

Nature's classroom

Nature's classroom | The Hutchinson News:

The latest Kaiser Family Foundation study (a body I would trust to perform an accurate assessment) shows that,"young people spend almost every waking minute when they are not in school using a smartphone, computer or television. The typical 8- to 18-year-old devotes an average 7 hours and 38 minutes to using entertainment media across a typical day, the study showed. In fact, youths spend so much time "media multitasking" - such as listening to their IPods while they use a computer - that they actually manage to pack in a total of 10 hours and 45 minutes into those 7 1/2 hours. Moreover, the time spent indoors has grown in just five years by an hour and 17 minutes a day."

"Reversing the trend, however, isn't going to be easy, say experts like Emporia State University Biology Professor John Richard Schrock, especially in a world where parents fear strangers and schools are cutting field trips and focusing more on studying for government-mandated tests.

"We're losing the battle and we know it," said Schrock, who also is director of biology education at ESU. "It already is lost in California and other places. (There was) This was a little girl who didn't go much outside," she said. "I live in the country, and just going out and walking into the fields, picking up a clod of dirt, was a novelty to her. Beal introduced the girl to outdoor activities such as riding bicycles and jumping on a trampoline. They have even had a hot dog roast - something the elementary school student said she had never experienced.

"I surveyed biology teachers in 1991 and 2009, and field trips have gone to nothing," he said. "It's becoming obvious. If we want children outside, then it is going to have to be the parent. The schools are becoming test-prep prisons."

For example, he said, children aren't having experiences that would lead them into nature-based jobs. Limited outdoor experiences also have trickled down to the agriculture industry, where, he believes - with more Americans removed from the family farm - more are ignorant about how it operates. This, in turn, draws more animal-rights sympathizers.
"They don't have the normal experiences children should have growing up," Schrock said. "Kids used to play in the backyard, play in sand piles. Now they don't even know what a tree is in their front yard because they haven't climbed it."

Getting young people outdoors, playing in nature, also is the philosophy at Hutchinson's Dillon Nature Center, said director Jim Smith. For the past year, Smith and others have been working on a natural playscape at the center. It includes a stream for children to play in, as well as a garden, a sand area, hills and a stage. He hopes that, besides outdoor play, it will help kids use their imaginations - something he notices is lacking in today's youth.

iPhones | Steve Jobs | Nature Deficit Disorder

iPhones | Steve Jobs | Nature Deficit Disorder

"Oxford University neuroscientist,Susan Greenfield ....... argues that children are in danger of confusing the fictional life of the web with real life, detailing the case of two 11-year-old girls who beat up two other girls and then couldn't understand why they just didn't get back onto their feet. In the real world seriously wounded people can't perform this feat. In other words the distinction between what's on a screen and what's out there is getting rather woolly — at least for the upcoming generation.


Whether we get children to re-connect with nature through the real thing or with clever apps, if the present trend continues, we may be raising a generation unable to cope with regular nature, let alone the vagaries of climate change."
