Research beyond Google: 119 authoritative, invisible, and comprehensive resources from OEDB (online education database) is one again from that amazing resources. Because of its length, we will be publishing the entire list over 3 days. From OEDB: Got a research paper or thesis to write? Want to research using the Internet? Good luck. There's a lot of junk out there — outdated pages, broken links, and inaccurate information. Using Google or the Wikipedia may lead you to some results, but you can rarely be sure of pinpoint accuracy. And what's more, you'll only be searching a fraction of all of the resources available to you. Google, the largest search database on the planet, currently has around eight billion web pages indexed. That's a lot of...

Online Education Database (OEDB) is the center for information about online education. In the 1980s, I worked for the US Navy in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and helped the military members to obtain external degrees for the New York Regents. So I have been a longtime supporter of off campus education. Although I got a degree in 1962, I am basically self-taught in most areas of my life education. Resources for choosing online learning, choosing degrees, choosing schools, college basics,military assistance degrees, financial aid information, online class assignments, as well as several featured online colleges.

Having studied the field of personality study, the field of psychology, for over 50 years, I was quite excited to discover Dr. C. George Boeree. He is a professor in the psychology department at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania. He has taken all his learning and life experiences and written his ultimate theory of personality. For this page, I am going to summarize his main categories for an easy reference about each. Be sure to check his website for a more total explanation of each. Conscious and the Unconscious: Sigmund Freud (1) Biological: mating, assertive, social, and nurturing complexes. (2) Social unconscious: our language, social taboos, cultural habits, etc. (3) Personal unconscious: defense mechanisms, personal habits, etc. (4) Most important to remember about consc...

“The concept of energy and the flow of that energy in the human body is the core of the current explosion in healing. The healing principle is to “balance” the energy in the body by using relaxation to counter the body’s reaction to stress.” The Berkeley Holistic Health Center The High Energy Life Plan integrates all the tools for living a healthy, balanced life. Many times busy people will see or read something that they would love to integrate into their lives. They also lack the time to plan and execute a total health plan. The Life Plan includes food/diet choices, exercise choices, and emotional/mental techniques for stress reduction. All the pre-tests, measurements, references for each of the three categories (diet, exercise, and emotional/...

| How I Lost Weight Day 4 |
| 2008-03-10 06:07:44 |
I dislike the word “diet” because it sounds like deprivation to me. Food is one of God’s greatest gifts and is meant to be enjoyed. Food is the basic reward for many people. So begin noticing when you are eating emotionally and drink more water before the food. When you are feeling emotional, you need to drink as much water or other liquids as you can to delay the eating. If you aren’t hungry anymore which is what will happen, give yourself permission to eat the food later when you are hungry. I quit smoking 15 years ago by never saying I couldn’t have a cigarette. Instead I learned to delay the decision to smoke or not until a later time. By delaying smoking, I generally forgot to smoke. After the time of not smoking grows, returning to smoking never seemed like a good idea w...

| How I Lost Weight Day 3 |
| 2008-03-06 05:41:00 |
Day 3—Daily Salad I began the slow process to find out what I liked among the lower-calorie dressing. Imagine my surprise that I could make my own dressing of 16 ounces for 180 calories for the whole thing. That averages out to about 12 calories per tablespoon. Quite a difference! At the same time, I realized that the lettuce salads weren’t giving me much in nutrition. So I researched the salads online and came upon a Greek salad with no lettuce that I modified. My Greek Salad is small sweet tomatoes, crumbled Feta cheese, sliced black olives, cucumbers, red peppers, and pepperoni. I make sure to have all the ingredients on hand so I don’t run out. I need to chew everyday in order to enjoy food. The dressing that I created is 32 oz. of balsamic vinegar, 2 tsp. of Dijon musta...

| How I Lost Weight Day 2 |
| 2008-03-05 05:40:00 |
Day 2: Water After I decided to see how long it took for my body to tell me I was hungry, I started a modified fast. I call it modified because I ate some food. At the beginning I chose to add more water to my diet. Plain water is boring to me after the first day, so I added 1/3 cup or ¼ cup of Real Lemon to my 2 quart pitchers. I bought the pitchers at Target and they are narrow and fit in my freezer. I was filling them half full and freezing them for the next day. After awhile, I changed from the pitchers to freezing half bottles of the Real Lemon mix. The last thing I do in the evening is to make sure that my pitcher is in the refrigerator to get cold for the next day. In the morning I add Real Lemon to the pitcher and begin drinking my lemon water. I save the flavored water for the...

| How I Lost Weight Day 1 |
| 2008-03-04 05:34:00 |
The Changemaker High Energy Plan that I created in February, 2006, is the result of 15 years of studying and applying good nutritional habits. I have eaten basically the healthiest foods since I moved to Florida in 1983. But I ate too much of the right foods. Having quit drinking in 1976 and smoking in 1989, I have been thinking about losing weight for 10 years. Obviously, I haven’t been working at it too hard. The hardest part of giving up an addiction is making the decision to give it up. Years ago, I learned that you leave an addiction when the pain outweighs the pleasure. I don’t know what made me decide in February to lose weight. I started working around the foods that I don’t want to live without. These include any kind of pasta, any kind of hard bread, and any Italian dish...

| The High Energy Diet Guidelines |
| 2008-02-28 06:22:01 |
Before you begin the High Energy Diet Plan, integrate these steps into your plan. A. You are the best person to create your own weight loss plan. B. There are no food restrictions placed on you except for those foods that you know you have trouble controlling the amount that you eat at one setting. C. Every day’s menu must include whole grains, milk, meat and beans, vegetables, and fruits as recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. Your daily food plan will include a reduction in the number of calories you are presently eating. D. The only real way to determine how many calories you are using is to have a food journal and faithfully record everything you eat for 5 days. Forget about counting ca...

| Learn To Do a Body Scan |
| 2008-02-27 15:00:02 |
Learning to do a body scan is from “Body Awareness†in The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook. This chapter discusses how the mind and body interact, how to recognize tension in your body, and exercises to recognize and let go of tension in your body. The body scan is explained on page 16: “Close your eyes. Starting with your toes and moving up your body, ask yourself, “Where am I tense?†Wherever you discover a tense area, exaggerate it slightly so you become aware of it. Be aware of the muscles in your body that are tense. Then, for example, say to yourself, “I am tensing my neck muscles….I am hurting myself. I am creating tension in my body.†Note that all muscular tension is self-produced. At this poi...

| Creating Your Own Meals Plans |
| 2008-02-22 10:23:33 |
The value of customizable meal plans is how the major health plan programs work. They make money giving you weight loss advice and by on supplying portion-controlled food to you. Most people who do these food programs lose weight. But do they keep it off? Generally, no, because the weight losers are having someone do the portions and he/she is not learning to choose portions. Our recommendations for creating your own meal plans are: Diet-blog is one of our top 5 best recommendations for all diet/weight loss information. The site has a rundown on all the pros and cons for each diet plan that they research. The link for meal planning is here. USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) has a chart the will tell you the amount of each food group that you need daily in order to m...

Eat, Pray and Love Elizabeth Gilbert ISBN 978-0-14-303841-2 Amazon link “One woman’s search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia” is the subtitle for this novel. Elizabeth Gilbert has divided her year’s journeys into 108 tales. She was influenced to do this from the traditional japa mala which contains 108 beads. The japa mala was brought back by the medieval Crusaders who had traveled East for the holy wars. The crisis in her life came from a long, turbulent divorce and the realization that this was the dark night of her soul. With this experience she began her year’s journey. The first set of 36 tales--her Italy tales-- focus around her desire to learn Italian while exploring Italian crusine. The I...

| Serenity |
| 2008-02-14 13:12:00 |
The following definition of serenity is taken from Wikipedia-- "The Serenity Prayer is the common name for an originally untitled prayer written by the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr in the 1930s or early 1940s. Niebuhr seems to have written the prayer for use in a sermon, perhaps as early as 1934 (the date given in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 16th edn., ed. Justin Kaplan, 1992, p. 684), perhaps in the early 1940s. Elisabeth Sifton's book The Serenity Prayer (2003) quotes this version as the authentic original: "God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things that should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other." The earliest verifiable printed texts so far discover...

The following definition of forgiveness if from Wikipedia-- "Forgiveness is the mental, emotional and/or spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution[[:Template:American Psychological Association. September, 2006]]. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. In some contexts, it may be granted without any expectation of compensation, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is dead). In practical terms, it may be necessary f...

| Becoming Focused or Centered |
| 2008-02-11 08:45:00 |
The following is a definition about focusing from Wikipedia-- "Focusing is a psychotherapeutic process or technique developed by psychotherapist and philosopher Eugene Gendlin after 15 years of research, beginning in 1953 at the University of Chicago, analyzing what made psychotherapy either successful or unsuccessful. The conclusion was that it is not the therapist's technique that determines the success of psychotherapy, but rather the way the patient behaves, and what the patient does inside during the therapy sessions. Gendlin found that, without exception, successful patients intuitively focuses inside themselves on a very subtle and vague internal bodily awareness - or "felt sense" - which contains information that, if attended to or focused on, holds the key to the resolution of ...

| Spiritual Practices 1 |
| 2008-02-07 15:51:00 |
The spiritual practices I've chosen to include in Spiritual Practices 1 are forgiveness, deep breathing, becoming centered, mindfulness, and serenity. I learned most of these principles through daily meditation. Early in my recovery which began in 1976, I was deeply influenced by a 13th century monk, Brother Lawrence. His book is titled "Practice in the Presence of God". I loved the concept of practicing in the presence which told me that I never had to worry about being perfect. That,in fact, I would never graduate on this earth from the practice. What a wonderful gift this 13th century monk gave me. Thank you, Brother Lawrence. If you, the reader, has other spiritual practices you would like to see included--write your own lenses. You wil...

| Quotations to Ponder |
| 2008-02-06 06:17:00 |
"What we commonly call man--the eating, drinking, planting, counting man, does not--as we know him-represent himself, but misrepresents himself. Him we do not respect. But the soul, whose organ he is, would he let it appear through his action would make our knees bend. When it breathes through his in-intellect, it is genius. When it breathes through his will, it is virtue. When it flows through his affection, it is love." Walt Whitman "We don't receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us." Marcel Proust "In our lives we are faced with a set of core issues that resurface again and again in different settings, with different people, at different times. These issues involve our relationship with the world, with ourselves, with...

| The Moment That Changed My Life |
| 2008-02-04 08:29:00 |
Each life has defining moments. The moment that changed my life happened in a home for alcoholic women in 1976. I was in a discussion with Lois, another alcoholic from Brooklyn, and she was talking about her life. Midway through her talk, I felt intense warmth toward her and compassion flowed through me. The miracle was that I had had a very sheltered life and she had had a very tough life, but in that moment we were sisters and kindred spirits. When I got up and walked outside, everything was different—trees, cars, the street—I saw everything with new eyes. It took me much searching to find out what had happened to me. In a book by William James entitled The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), I found that I had had a radical conversion. Did I ...
