			<title>Brexit bodes ill for US Presidential Elections</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Uninformed decisions tend to have unpredictable outcomes. Few foresaw the Brexit referendum results which have divided a nation along not only national lines but also demographic lines.  With most Brits ill-informed about the real impact of leaving the EU, most voted according to self-interest rather than national-interest priorities. Higher educated, higher income, younger, unmarried, foreign-born Brits voted to remain in the EU, while older, poorer, married and the less educated voted for ...]]></description>

			<title>&amp;#8220;Gig Economy&amp;#8221; poses major challenges to traditional workers</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Almost 90% of Americans don't know what the &quot;gig economy&quot; is, yet 40 percent of American workers are predicted to be independent contractors by 2020,&amp;nbsp; according to surveys by the Pew Research Center and Intuit.  For the lesser-informed, a gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements.  Besides the more obvious impact of loss of those lovely employee-related benefits, such as paid annual ...]]></description>

			<title>In Search of &amp;#x22;Disruptive Thinkers&amp;#x22;</title>
			<description><![CDATA[The US Marine Corps is asking an unlikely source for help. Commandant General Robert Neller has put out the call for &quot;disruptive thinkers&quot; Marines who live outside the box, who love to challenge the status quo, and who are often viewed as trouble makers.  Neller wants nothing short of a cultural revolution -- a new era in which Marines are encouraged to come up with solutions, and leaders serve as advocates to accelerate those ideas to decision makers.  Here's the link if you missed the ...]]></description>

			<title>Protect Your Children from Common-Core Teaching</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Report: Requiring kindergartners to read -- as Common Core does -- may harm some.   The Common Core State Standards call for kindergartners to learn how to read, but a new report by early childhood experts says that forcing some kids to read before they are ready could be harmful. Two organizations that advocate for early childhood education -- Defending the Early Years and Alliance for Childhood -- issued the report titled &quot;Reading in Kindergarten: Little to Gain and Much to Lose.&quot;&amp;nbsp; ...]]></description>

			<title>Perceptions about Public Schools in America</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Perceptions about Public Schools in America  &amp;nbsp; It is said that perception is truth. &amp;nbsp; And it is the perception of many people outside the educational community that education in the USA is in need of reform, largely due to the perception that schools are not producing the educational results necessary for the current and future needs of this country. &amp;nbsp; In his book, The Reckoning, David Halberstam states that there are two real weaknesses in America's attempt to be competitive ...]]></description>

			<title>How to boost your Reading / Comprehension Speed and Save Time.</title>
			<description><![CDATA[Use your finger!  No seriously, try sliding your finger under the words while reading them. Giving the page the finger increases reading speed and enhances concentration and comprehension.  Physiologically, man is a hunter. Our eyes are designed to respond to movement. At school, we used our finger on the page while learning to read. Our eyes learned to track and follow this movement. Then, in the 2nd grade, teacher told us to take our finger off the page. The result -- no tracking movement.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Communicate. Don't just READ.  When reading a book, memo, technical report or intelligence document, the roles of speaker and listener are reversed.

			<description><![CDATA[Communicate. Don't just TALK.&amp;nbsp; You have something to say and you have an audience. Don't just talk to them. Because all they'll do is HEAR what you're saying. Communicate with them and they'll LISTEN to you, THINK about what you're saying and REMEMBER what you've said. &amp;nbsp; So, tell them what you're going to tell them. Tell them. Tell them again.
