Burying a wax.<a href="http://opinion.inquirer.net/96485/two-awakenings-and-a-funeral">It has been said that the so called body of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos is merely a wax now at Ilocos Norte. And yes, Duterte promised to his friend Bongbong Marcos that his father is going to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNB). This is a very divisive issue. By clicking on the link, read Inquirer columnist Randy David how he dissected the issue. Go to your original group of 5 August and submit a group discussion report and answer the following questions: 1. Who is Ferdinand Marcos (FM)? 2. Who should be buried at the LNB? 3. How do you weight-in the the points raised by Mr. David? 4. In your group opinion, Should FM be buried at LNB based on the assumptions of Duterte? If yes, why? If no, why not. Your group paper shall be submitted on 24 August. Same format. Answer on suggested format with Questions as heading. </a>

We come to the point that knowing and understanding liberates or gives us that exhilarating feeling. But we can not rest on the feeling, the knowledge of the skill should be practiced and becomes a habit. Thus, you can "perfect" your presentation skill by practicing over and over. When you do this, the skill becomes trained to your neural brain connections. If you add more practice then these connections become entrenched, thus they will now become habitual on your part. Thus we have this term, "force-of-habit". When you keep on performing the force-of-habit becomes a part of you. Fundamentally, we start with knowledge, then we get to know that knowledge or skill. Once we practice and repeat a magic act, the act becomes trained into our body that becomes a part of us. If you fail to practice or repeat it, they they get lost, perhaps forever.Jose Leonidashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16707510904717663859noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669182151779342480.post-48086249293731124172015-12-10T04:00:00.004-08:002015-12-10T04:00:45.613-08:00Alohomora Post 17 Magician's codeRemember the magician's code: 1. Don't reveal the secret, even to your best friend! 2. Don't perform the same trick twice before the same audience, 3. Don't do any trick until you have practiced and perfected it thoroughly, 4. Don't knock other magicians. Do unto them as you would have them do unto you.
