UNEXPECTED YAWNS ARE LIKELY THE RESULT OF A SLIGHTLY OVERHEATED BRAIN

File credit
Last week in the middle of a lecture, I just couldn't help it. I  inhaled a giant involuntary yawn.The embarrassing thing is that the lecturer saw me and I'm pretty sure she thought I gave the impression that I was less than enthused. Was I bored with her lecture?No.
According to a 2007 Study  in the Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, yawning increases blood flow to the brain, which helps move heat away and cools the area. In essence, those unexpected yawns are likely the result of a slightly overheated brain , according to the study.

2)Try to have a decent sleep  the night before.

3)Sprinkle your face with cold water several times a day.

4)Take a power  nap, just 20-30 minutes, and you'll be very energetic and more efficient in your job/study in the afternoon.

KEEPING EYE STINGING VAPORS WHEN CUTTING ONIONS

Its a known fact that onions are way too smelly and often make you cry while cutting them.The real struggle is staying 'tear-free' during the process of slicing and dicing the onions.
The only technique I know of which actually works for stopping the irritation of eyes when chopping onions is the use onion  Protective goggles that feature a soft foam seal inside the frame to keep out eye-stinging vapors when chopping onions.Forget about all the other techniques like holding a wooden matchstick between your teeth,eating bread while slicing and dicing the onions.
Another method can be reducing the internal pressure of the onion cells prior to chopping them.I always put my onions in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes,followed by quickly cutting the onions by a sharp knife and it works.
My neighbor prefers using only a sharp knife because it slices cleanly, rather than crushing the onion cells that contains juice and volatile compounds( Sulfenic acid ) known to cause  irritation to one's eyes and sinuses.

 

And again,the easiest method is to just not look at the onions while chopping it. However,you have to be really sure of your knife skills

LECTURE CAPTURE

Experienced cases where lecturers don't show up after preparing for the classes?Are you a lecturer and
want to migrate from analogue to 'digital lecturing?'Well , Biznerati got you covered.
  All you need is the use of podcasts.A Podcast is a digital audio file that can be automatically downloaded from the internet once the user subscribes.This digital audio file could be an online radio show or even business. Podcasts have been used by bloggers and most 'underground' radio shows.All you need is to get a podcasting host and your tools.
Getting started with podcasting ..This is just similar
to starting your show and the audience in this case is your students.
All you will need are to get you ( Tools of podcasting ) started and all the students will be required to subscribe (under the RSS Feed button) and once you publish a podcast it will be automatically downloaded into your audience (your students) smartphone.Your podcast should strictly contain only the intended topic in the particular unit designated to the lecturer.No business issues.
This system of lecture can be set up to help students replay, revisit and revise from past lectures(past podcasts) which can be retrieved from your phone's file manager.

According to this article, , Sonic Foundry created Mediasite as a purpose-built, appliance-based platform for lecture capture. It features an automated workflow to record, deliver, manage, search and track video-based instruction, leveraging your in-room and on-campus infrastructure.Therefore lecturers can use this platform too because of its efficiency.
  However,one caveat though.Not all students have smartphones and this tends to advantage those who have smartphones.But i'm sure this is the way to go.If you are a lecturer who always
has a busy schedule,podcasting is the way

BENEFITS OF LECTURE CAPTURE

1) It allows students to cover the material at their own pace.
2)It also serves as a tool to encourage tech adoption amongst the tech illiterate.
3)It also provides a flexible learning experience among the students as it gives students access to video, audio recordings of many of their past relevant lectures.
4)The students can listen at their own time
5)Each lecture is automatically downloaded directly into the student's File explorer hence the student is always abreast with the unit's content

We need to make all universities aware of the benefits of Digital note taking technologies,Don't you think?
