		<description><![CDATA[Imagine giving your teenagers their own website for Christmas.  At just R720 too!
Christmas morning you hand them an envelope containing their log in details to their very own .co.za domain website!
It&#8217;s not a Blogger site or a WordPress.com site as those kinds of sites have website addresses that end in blogspot.com or wordpress.com (and are totally free.)  For example I have three totally free Blogger blogs and their addresses end in blogspot.com They are tntunleashed.blogspot.com and teresaschultz.blogspot.com and makemoneyuseinternet.blogspot.com They are nice sites and I like having them, but I also have sites where I pay for hosting and domain registration so that I can have a unique Internet address and be more professional, like
Online Flea Market,
Make Money Writing Online,
Work From Home Ideas,
and Web Design Designer.
Although I like my free Blogger sites, I don&#8217;t like having part of my website address being the same as thousands of others ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[School leavers or matriculants can earn a living writing online and the only costs involved are having a computer and Internet connection.
Anyone who has a computer and Internet connection, and who can write at least a legible email to a friend, can earn an extra income online through writing online, but, here and now, I&#8217;m discussing how school leavers can earn a living writing online.
Writing online to earn a living is not for everyone &#8211; it&#8217;s hard work. Many people do just a bit and earn an extra income to add to what income they&#8217;re earning elsewhere or from other methods.  This is what I&#8217;m doing at the moment, but I hope to write more and more, until writing online could possibly be my primary source of income.
If it&#8217;s hard work, and not yet earning me all that much, why do I bother?
You see, the beauty of it is ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t get it.  Children who are the leaders of the future are being forced not to attend school.  What if their parents decide to finally make the move to leave South Africa?  Perhaps an exaggeration, but if half of school pupils leave South Africa with their parents to get a better education in another country, that&#8217;s a ton of less school fees being paid here in South Africa.
I predict that due to strikes and intimidation going on right now, parents who had merely thought of leaving SA before, will be leaving soon.
Some may say that missing a few days of school is only a small inconvenience &#8211; but I don&#8217;t see that 6000 schools closing for a few days is just a small inconvenience.  The leaders of the future need to be educated, and not have to struggle to catch up. Is it not in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Manco Capac was an early ruler of the ancient Inca civilization (about the years 1200 to 1400)
Parachuti was a famous Inca ruler. 
Parachuti founded the Inca empire in 1438, and conquered neighbouring tribes, expanding the empire.
In 1468 Parachuti chose his son,  Tupac Inca Yupanqui to lead the army, and in 1471 Tupac became the Sapa Inca leader.
From about 1493, and before the Spaniards arrived, the Inca leader was Huayna Capac, the grandson of Parachuti.
Atahualpa and Huascar were brothers and were in competition against each other to rule the Inca empire from about 1525 to 1532.
Atahualpa killed his own brother, Huascar, and took over leading the Incas, until 1533.
Atahualpa was executed for supposedly plotting against a Spanish explorer and Spain army leader Franciso Pizarro in 1533.  Francisco Pizarro chose Manco Inca Yupanqui as the new Inca ruler in about 1534. (Manco Capac the second).
The last Inca ruler was Tupac ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Feel free to print and use these free school book cover designs. Just do not offer them on your own site or blog, or print them to resell them.
These free school book cover designs are meant for A4 size books, that have plastic book covers, or one can cover the book and design the old fashioned way with plastic.
There is a slight white border around the designs, should you feel any trimming is needed, but, generally, as is, they should be fine for printing out onto ordinary white typing paper.
&#8220;Labels&#8221; are in place already, for jotting down your name, grade and year, and the school subject that the book is about.
The 8 A4 size school book cover designs below are free, and can be printed in colour or simply in black and white.
Normal A4 typing paper is usually about 20.90 cm x 29.50 cm, and these designs below are roughly ...]]></description>

The poster had the numbers one to ten on it, and I would hold his hand in mine and help him tap each number &#8211; we tapped the number 4 four times, and the number 5 five times etc, and I would count aloud as we tapped.
I would also take his hand and let a finger of his trace the shape of the numbers, while I would repeat that number over and over again.  He&#8217;s in grade 7 now, and generally gets above 80% for maths tests and maths exams.  ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this educational counting video, the word for each of the numbers one to ten appears next to the numeral of each eg 3 three, 4 four &#8211; and what&#8217;s particularly effective, I think, is that the words are written in small letters ie not 5 FIVE, but 5 five.  I feel that kids should learn to write in small letters, not capitals, unless they&#8217;re specifically learning about capital letters.  ONE DOES NOT WRITE IN ALL CAPS, IT&#8217;S LIKE ONE IS SHOUTING AND IT&#8217;S JUST NOT NICE!
The tune for this little educational video is really catchy.  It&#8217;s sweet.  Little kids can learn to count to ten, and see the numbers before them at the same time, appearing, and disappearing when counting backwards.  Yeah &#8211; learn to count backwards too!
When my boys were still little, I often tried to combine lessons.  Taking out some plastic ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This interesting little cartoon educational video shows how it may not be a huge or growing population that means less food resources for everyone.
It seems there&#8217;s plenty of food, but due to issues like war, road infrastructure not being what it could be, and poverty, poor under nourished people cannot access food, or people trying to get them food cannot transport the food to them.
The video suggests that less hungry people is not going to get the remaining hungry people fed, unless the real problems are addressed, like building better roads and having less wars.  
Unfortunately nothing much can be done about natural disasters other than building houses further away from the edges of the ocean (in the case of tidal waves) and building stronger buildings (in the case of mild earthquakes.)  (Just my ideas, this paragraph.)
I believe that better education would also play a big part in ...]]></description>
