Short Report on Training for Technical Trainor ’s

November 12 – 16, 2007
Ateneo Professional Schools, Makati
Center for Leadership and Change Inc (a FranklinCovey Company)

The training for Technical Trainer's is intended for technical staffs that will be doing/designing training courses in the near future.  The seminar was organized by HR-Training group and was facilitated by CLCI, FranklinCovey Company. The sessions were held at the Ateneo Professional Schools in Makati City.  All members of the Geochemistry Procedures manual Committee attended with additional attendance from other sectors/department within the Technical Services Sector.

The relevant knowledge gained is the idea that the design of the training should be based on performance based objectives. Traditional training methods focus and address learning needs of people only while performance based training identifies and addresses performance need of people. The performance based objective (PBO) of the training describes what performance can be expected, describe the conditions of performance and sets the standards of performance. In relation to PBO, the next important step is to establish the Skills, Knowledge, and Attitudes part (SKA). SKA identifies which skills can be developed during the training session to improve performance, what cognitive information is needed by the participants in order to meaningfully practice the skill during the training session, and  what attitude/motivation/realization will the participants get from the training.  

After the SKA, the Process Design (PD) will be established to describe the step by step learning process of the training.  It also depicts what the participants are doing during the training. The process design accomplishes to make a skill a part of the person and to make learning active, easy and enjoyable.  For every skill identified in SKA, there is one PD. There are plenty of methods that can be used to impart the training it could be a lecturette, small group discussion, demonstration, case study, role play, simulation, etc depending on the appropriate process objectives, knowledge and motivation to be imparted. Each method outlined in PD, there will be a corresponding Method Sheets (MS) to be made in details.  The method sheets will be a guide to the lecturer/facilitator of his choice(s) of imparting the training.  The MS focus the facilitator on his training and the objective to motivate the participants is realized.

In conclusion, effective and performance training can be achieved by following the simple formula, that is, PBO-> SKA -> PD -> MS.

Top 10 Biggest Brain Damaging Habits

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

10 medicinal plants on DOH list

These are the 10 medicinal plant currently approved by Department of Health. There are plenty of herbal/medicinal plants available, i guess these are just a few who has been studied in detail by the Department.  I have posted it here so that i can easily retrieve it in case some of my acquaintances, friends, relatives  will be interested.

MANILA, Philippines -- Health Secretary Francisco Duque III issued a circular on Jan. 29 putting back ampalaya (Momordica charantia) on the Department of Health's list of "scientifically validated herbal medicinal plants."

He based his decision on "recent evidence on the clinical efficacy of ampalaya against diabetes mellitus."

Clinical trials conducted by scientists at the University of the Philippines in Manila and Los Baños have found that leaves of ampalaya growing in Mt. Makiling are comparable to synthetic drugs for diabetes. Other studies have established that ampalaya fruits and seeds have medicinal properties.

Duque's directive recalls a circular issued in 2003 reclassifying ampalaya from scientifically validated medicinal plant to folklorically validated medicinal plant.

Sales of ampalaya-based food supplements plummeted after the downgrade. With the new DOH circular, five companies have expressed interest in manufacturing tablets from the leaves of ampalaya's Makiling variety.

Once sold to the public, however, the ampalaya tablets should be taken only upon doctor's prescription.

The government is promoting the 10 medicinal plants partly because of the "high cost of synthetic medicines," said Cirilo Galindez, acting director of the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC), an attached agency of the DOH. A tablet of lagundi costs only P2.

Like any drug, the 10 medicinal plants on the DOH list can be dangerous if used the wrong way or if taken in doses more than the recommended amount.

The information on the medicinal plants used here came from the PITAHC.

FOUR of the medicinal plants—sambong, lagundi, tsaang gubat and yerba buena—are available in tablet form.

Lagundi
(Five-leafed chaste tree)
Vitex negundo
Cough, asthma and fever

How to prepare a decoction: Wash the leaves thoroughly and chop into pieces. Measure 2 glasses of water, and 1 glass of freshly chopped leaves. Boil under low fire for 15 minutes without cover. Set aside to cool and strain. The liquid is now ready for drinking.

Cough and asthma - 1/3 glass 3x a day; Fever - 1/3 glass every 4 hours

Tsaang Gubat
(Wild tea)
Carmona retusa
Diarrhea

Wash the leaves thoroughly and chop into pieces. Measure 2 glasses of water and 1 glass of chopped leaves. Boil under low fire for 15 minutes without cover. Set aside to cool and strain. The decoction can now be drank.

Take 1/2 glass every 4 hours.

Sambong
(Blumea camphor)
Blumea balsamifera
Kidney stones, edema (manas) and hypertension

Wash the leaves and cut into pieces. Measure 2 glasses of water and 1 glass of chopped leaves. Boil in low fire for 15 minutes without cover. Set aside, cool and strain.

Drink 1/3 glass 3x a day. Not intended for kidney

Yerba Buena
(Mint)
Mentha cordifolia Opiz
Body pain

Wash the leaves thoroughly and chop into pieces. Measure 2 glasses of water and 1 glass of chopped leaves. Boil under low fire for 15 minutes without cover. Set aside to cool, and strain.
Pounded fresh leaves can be applied directly on the painful area.

Drink 1/3 glass 3x a day.

Akapulko
(Ringworm bush)
Cassia alata
Fungus e.g. ringworm (buni), tinea flava (an-an) and scabies (galis aso)

Pound fresh, mature leaves and apply extracted juice on affected areas 1 to 2x a day. For people who are allergic to extracted juice, a decoction can be prepared by boiling 1 glass of chopped leaves into 2 glasses of water for 15 minutes. Use decoction to wash affected areas 1 to 2x a day until skin disorder disappears. Available in lotion.

Ampalaya
(Bitter gourd)
Momordica charantia
Diabetes mellitus

Wash the leaves thoroughly and cut into pieces. Boil 2 glasses of the leaves with 4 glasses of water. Let it boil for 15 minutes under low fire without cover. Set aside to cool and strain. Drink 1/3 glass of decoction 30 minutes before meal 3x a day. Young leaves can be eaten, steamed or cooked on top of boiled rice or with sautéed mung beans (monggo).

Bawang

The Origin of Zero2One

 No one asked yet how I come to use the Zero2One...But for those who will in the future....It all started in my college days at the University of San Carlos (Cebu City, Philippines). Everyday for 4 years in my 5-year stay with USC (Chemical Engineering is in the Talamban Campus), I always go to the Science Building for my Chemistry (Analytical, Organic, Physical) subjects. Since the chemistry department is located at the 3rd floor, i always endure the hassles of going up into the chemistry floor. In the ground floor, just before the turn for first step going upstairs you will see in the wall the following words... "The step from Zero to One...belongs to God....and everyday since then when i go to the Science Building... it always greets me before I go up to my classroom. It really made an impact on me... since then I didnt only memorize it by heart i become so fanatic about it! Yes indeed, everything... from nothing to something it all started with God. ......Zero2One.

Things that Feels GOOD.

this is a forwarded email. but i think this is a nice article worthy to be posted in my blog. im posting it so i would be able to remember it from time to time.
