Teenagers usually spend summer vacation enjoying activities with their families or friends. This is the time where teenagers look forward to enjoying their adolescent stage. Summer is a perfect opportunity for teens to engage themselves with other teens to learn while having fun. It will boost and develop their skills as they mature. Fun camp for the whole summer is their chance to learn and share with others their knowledge and ideas. Later in their lives, this will help them deal personal situations as they grow.
For fun camp to materialize, valuable information must be gathered for planning. It must include coming up of educational activities suitable for teens, venue of fun camp, date it will be held, duration for the whole summer, travel arrangements and expenses involved. Then, sort out the educational activities most ideal for teens. Choose activities involving them in group physical activities like games and sports; mental activities like book discussions and extemporaneous speech development. Encourage them also in activities involving nature and science like wood carving, hiking and trekking and caving in. It is like learning and studying all these activities but making it fun so that discovering is easier. All of these plans or programs can be suggested by families or planned by teens themselves. Some teens prefer to spend fun camp with other teens with permission from their parents or having a facilitator or counselor on the camp’s venue. With proper guidance from their camp instructors, teens will be educated in the right way to avoid unwanted circumstances. Safety for teenagers must be implemented since during this time, teenagers tend to experiment other things. Rules and regulations must be observed. Facilitators or counselors play a vital role in reminding teenagers not to cross the lines.
Fun camp will be something unforgettable for teens. Bonding with other teens through these activities or programs prepared will expose them to early adulthood stage. Simple as it may seem but slowly it molds them to develop their character or attitudes and skills. Fun camp activities will help them acquire new goals in their lives. What they have learned while having fun during the summer will be a good part along their as teenagers mature. In the future, fun camping will become much educational and fun. As time change, new camp activities or programs will be more interesting to learn. New subject matters related to teens will be more challenging to handle. There is an increase on the demand since a lot of changes will have to be introduced to teens later.
Sharm El Sheikh is increasingly becoming more and more popular each year with thousands of visitors flocking to the resort all year round. Many holiday makers who have visited the resort before and stayed in one of the hotel chains are seeking alternatives and that's self catering in one of the many apartments and studios.
Sharm El Sheikh now has many privately owned apartments, studios and condos and a lot of these are rented out for self catering holidays.
Some of the advantages to renting a self catering apartment in sharm el sheikh is that your not tied to your hotel by having to be back for lunch and dinner, giving you more quality time to explore the resort. You can also bring in your own alcohol which is not allowed in most hotels and in some cases alcohol being confiscated. Other advantages are a more quieter atmosphere, no loud music blurring out late at night or being pulled into the hotel entertainments, after all it is your holiday and you can find plenty of your own entertainments in one of the busy resorts. And more importantly you have the choice to cook your own food.
It's a good idea to buy your food and supplies at the beginning of your holiday, and to buy enough for the whole duration of your stay, most self catering apartments do have Fridge Freezers to keep meats and vegetables fresh, but do check when booking your holiday apartment.
Sharm El Sheikh has improved drastically in recent years and now provides for the self catering holiday, supermarkets selling meats, vegetables and dairy products, some of the best are the Metro supermarkets found in Nabq Bay and just past Naama Bay on the way to Old Market and Hadaba. The Metro supermarkets are the nearest you will get to our supermarkets back home selling fresh meat, vegetables and dairy products in fact everything you will need for your self catering holiday in sharm el sheikh, they also have a home delivery service making it even easier for you.
Other large supermarkets in sharm are 24 7 situated are in Naama Bay and Old market along with smaller shops selling food and kitchenware. for details of where the nearest supermarket is to you there is a couple of free informational booklets issued monthly, these directories tell you where to eat, shop, and places to go and lists all supermarkets in Sharm El Sheikh, the booklets are called The Mix and The Book these can be found in coffee shops, supermarkets, Restaurants and Bars.
Alcohol and cigarettes are best bought at Old Market situated in Sharm El Maya about 6 Km south of Naama Bay. Old Market has the charm of ancient Egypt with its Bazaars, souvenir shops, perfume shops and colourful displays of spices, Old market has everything you will need for your self catering Holiday, and at very good prices. Look out for the Heineken shop in the centre of Old market this is the cheapest I have found for Beer and spirits.
try the local beers like Sakara or there brand of stella imported Beers are more expensive.
Cigarettes can be bought in the small food shops dotted in and around Old Market these are the cheapest with set prices.
Watch out for street sellers who sell cigarettes these may be fake and you will have to haggle the price. Fruit, vegetables and meat can be bought at Old Market at cheap prices.
As Old Market is a popular tourist spot there are many souvenir shops, as with Cairo and Luxor you will have to Haggle in the shops for the best price, once you get the hang of it, it is quite good fun. One of my Tips for Haggling is to ask the price, half it and work around that figure, try not to pay over two thirds of the original figure. Remember there will probably be another shop a few meters away selling the same thing, so if you fail to get a good price from the first you may get a better deal from the second, third and so on.
The whole of sharm El Sheikh stretches from Nabq Bay right to the Bay of Sharm El Maya over 30 miles in total. so if you intend to see a bit of the place you will need to get around by some mode of transport Taxi, Micro Bus, or Hire Car. Taxis are a reasonably cheap way of getting round, depending of how much you use them, they have recently had a overhaul from cranky old Peugeots to shiny new ones, this was to give Sharm El Sheikh the new up market look. All official taxis are blue and white with there own unique fleet number, make a note of its number if you want to use the driver again, the driver will probably hassle you for business.
Blue and white taxis do have fixed rates for the destination but before you get in, state destination and cost of fare as some drivers still ask for more money or a tip at the end of the journey.
Never get in blue and white pickups they are not taxis, some will ask you if you want a lift and then demand paying for there service. Keep clear of taxi touts in Naama Bay they are on a commission. There are hundreds of taxis at Naama Bay so its easy to get your own, You may even be able to negotiate a lower price than the set fee.
Cheaper ways of transport to get you out and about from your self catering apartment are the public microbuses, these are also blue and white and they also have fixed prices for there destination, but will try to charge tourists a lot more for the fare, The fare Tariffs can be found at bus stops in Naama Bay on large Boards or free information Booklets like the Mix or the Book. Micro Buses do get very crowded at peak times especially in the morning taking Egyptian workers to work, but if you don't mind this then it's a very cheap way of getting around.
If you have an international driving licence and want to drive in Sharm El Sheikh then rent a car, this might be the best option in the long term for getting you around, Fuel is very cheap around 2 LE a litre in Egypt. Having the freedom of you own car gives you more options to fully explore Sharm El Sheikh's many attractions. International licence will have to be applied back in your own country. UK application forms can be downloaded from the RAC website.
I’ve had my own business since I was 9 years old. I’ve started, bought, sold and helped out in many different kinds of businesses over the thirty some odd years since then.
I’ve done everything I’ve always wanted to do, and I’ve had a lot of fun. Some of the highlights: I worked on Wall Street, I helped take a company public and I threw one of the biggest VC names in the country out of my office. I’ve worked with some of the biggest names in the online and offline space, and I’ve seen the insides of a lot of the biggest companies in the US.
I made my first million the old fashioned way — I worked my **** off. And I’ve got a lot to show for it, for which I am both humble and grateful. Understand this — I am a successful entrpreneur and I am proud of it.
Why am I sharing all of this with you? I’m getting there.
People always ask me if I have any advice for being successful. They ask if I could name the things I think have contributed the most to my success. I’d like to share my observations from thirty years of business experience. They are applicable both online and offline.
Here are my top ten tips for success:
1. Always make sure all of your emails and phone calls get returned. I make a lot of contacts and requests via email, phone or even in person. I am absolutely shocked at the number of people who don’t bother to return the request. It is classless and disrespectful to ignore someone’s request, and it makes them angry. Angry people tell other people how you have wronged them. The fewer people out there talking ill about you the better.
When I was at Modem Media I got between 1000 - 3000 emails a day. I was buried in emails. My assistant went in and cleared out emails when she could, forwarding the ones she knew she or one of my underlings could handle. But she left the rest for me. I would spend at least an hour a day returning them. Sometimes all I said was Call so-and-so or Thanks for the heads-up, but most of them got answered. The priority was clients, then managers then normal people. If you’re not going to answer correspondence from clients or peers, don’t give anyone your email address. Funny thing about most of us…if you have an email address and invite us to use it, we expect an answer. I’ve written three emails to Darren Rouse at ProBlogger.net. He has not answered a single one. While I think some of his stuff is pretty good, I find his unresponsiveness disappointing and I don’t find him as authoritative as I used to.
I sent an email to the President of Staples (the office supply chain) on a Saturday afternoon a few years ago. I got a personal response from him the next day (Sunday), and we resolved my problem with the help of one of his EVPs. If he can respond to one of my emails, so can Darren Rouse.
2. Help anyone who asks. It doesn’t matter what it is — if someone asks you to help them and you can do it, do it. Whether it entails rolling up your sleeves, writing a check, giving some valuable time or just answering a question from someone who doesn’t know as much as you, **** it up and do it.
3. Always know more than most people about your industry or business. I’ve always been a technologist, so this has been engrained in me since I was 16. Read about things in your field every day. Go to a seminar or trade show every now and then. Participate in discussions or forums, on or off-line. It will keep you connected to the people in your industry and make you a guru. The Internet is an amazing tool for getting this done.
4. Treat your employees like gold, because they are. In my own businesses my employees get away with a lot. They are well paid, get surprise perks all the time and can come and go as they please. Some take advantage, but they don’t last long. Being a jerk to your employees will always come back to bite you. It will also mean that you’ll get hosed a few times, but you probably would have anyway.
Make the workplace fun, comfortable and as casual as you can. Show your employees by example how you want them to treat customers and co-workers. They are going to follow your lead. If they **** coming to work it will show in what you produce.
At Modem Media I organized a yearly barbeque in the front parking lot. We had pork, BBQ sauce from Texas and lots of other stuff I’m not going to get into here. It was a small gesture but it went a long way.
5. Acknowledge everyone who helps you advance, especially those who did not gain from it. This is another thing that I am shocked more people haven’t caught on to. I said in an earlier post that I regularly comb my log files for people who have social bookmarks pointing to this blog site and send them a quick email thanking them. I stopped counting the number of people who email me back shocked that I would take the time to thank them. Why shouldn’t I? They took time out to help promote my blog, and got nothing in return. A thank you acknowledges their time and effort and solidifies them as an ally. Trust me…you need all the allies you can get.
6. Befriend your competitors. This is another one that should be second nature. Yes, you are all competing for customers, but you’re all frogs in the same pot of boiling water. I own the biggest wine shop in my hometown. If we don’t have something that a customer wants we will call another shop and see if the customer can get it there. It was a shock to both customers and competitors that I would send customers to another store. It say it’s good for the customer, so it’s good business.
7. Keep your sense of humor…it’s huge. My second day at Modem Media I was sent to John Hancock’s Boston HQ. Modem had been working on Hancock’s online/offline strategy for months. It wasn’t finished and there was a lot of tension. After two days me and the head marketing weenie were called on the carpet by a screaming middle manager.
She said You have been disappointing me for two months! and continued reaming us. I waited a few beats and said Excuse me…I have only been disappointng you for a couple of days. Color drained from the marketing weenie’s face, but I could tell the client was trying hard to keep from bursting out in laughter.
8. Overdeliver to your customers, let them know you are watching out for their business, and treat them like friends. I spent a lot of time on the Compaq campus in Houston. We were competing with Price Waterhouse for Compaq Direct’s technical business and PW had the ear of Compaq’s CTO or CFO or some such person.
But I had the trust of the person directly under that exec, and he was the one doing the work. My team was on top of everything, and we covered his back. He knew he could count on us, and he knew that we could help him navigate the jungle. We lost the account for a while, but we still had a retainer for me to fly in once a month to help out. I would fly out there, we would have lunch and I would fly back. Sometimes the conversation was technical, sometimes it was marketing-related and sometimes it was purely personal.
We eventually got the contract back because my guy knew we were part of his success, and he knew he could count on us.
9. Get a hobby, hot tub, motorcycle, drag race car, whatever. You need a transition away from business to something else. Make sure you have one. It will give your mind an opportunity to disengage and allow you to background process all of the stuff you are thinking about. Moving stuff from the conscious mind to the subconscious mind is like exercising using different muscles — it will help get results. I can’t tell you how many times I have resolved problems while riding on my motorcycle.
10. Be very careful who you choose to advise you, but have a go-to team, and always defer to someone smarter than you. People mean well, but it takes far less courage to poke holes in someone’s idea than it does to accentuate the positive. Keep some solid advisors around you. I have a team of all-stars that includes my wife (very practical), my attorney (one of the best business attorneys in the US), my other attorney (one of my good friends and another practical guy), and my accountant (very serious but very financially adept).
I think I know everything and I will defend my positions viciously. All of my advisors are smarter than me about something, and often they can convince me to go to their side because I remember that.
One last observation — don’t give up.
Regardless of the crap you read about getting rich quick, it doesn’t happen that way most of the time. Some of us make it look easy, but it isn’t. That doesn’t mean you can’t do it.
The weekends are time the whole family can spend together, but everything is so expensive and there just doesn’t seem to be any money left over after the necessities are paid. And, yet with nothing to do on the weekend, life can get pretty frazzled in a household.
Of course there are always movies. But, just to bring the family, plan on it costing at least $10 per person.
Finding less expensive outings may take more effort, expending more creativity and planning, but in the end, those efforts will most likely pay off by providing true quality outings with less money out of your pocket.
Here are some inexpensive suggestions that the family might enjoy.
· The library has something for everyone in the family. They even carry movies and cd(s).
· While you are at the library, look up fun craft projects for the children.
· Rent a couple movies and make some popcorn and have a movie night with the family.
· There’s always plenty to do at the park. Pack a lunch for everyone, bring a frisbee or ball, and go have some fun.
· Check out your local community theatre. There’s usually something interesting playing there. And it would be a different experience the whole family would enjoy.
· See if there are any local carnivals or circuses in town. Just make sure you get funnel cakes at the carnival! Yummy!
· Most towns have museums which are usually either free or just a few dollars. It’s educational and fun.
· Find any local nature trails around town and take a little hike. It’s a good workout and the kids seem to love being in the woods.
· See if there are any local frisbee-golf ranges. They are usually found in community parks or woods and are mostly free. It’s a game the whole family will have fun playing, and going through the course can be a bit of adventure, too! This is a great game for kids to play.
· Find a local pool or beach. Kids can always find ways to have fun in the water.
· There are plenty of different things the family can find to do when camping. Anywhere from hikes, s’mores, telling ghost stories, fishing and swimming. There are usually some state parks that only charge around 10 dollars for a spot overnight, and the whole family will have a blast. Usually camping grounds have pre-planned kids’ activities that you should check into.
· Mini-golfing is always fun, and you don’t even need to go to a real range. If you want, you can have fun making your own obstacles in the backyard or at the park. You might even have more fun making the course than you will playing the real game.
· Nothing gets children more excited than when you mention the zoo! Lions, tigers and bears, oh my!
· A local bowling alley offers plenty of fun. It’s a very stress-free game everyone can play while socializing and having fun.
There’s always something to do on the weekends where the whole family can have fun! Just make sure you plan it a few days in advance and let everyone know that’s what they’re doing for the day, make your lunches and grab the sunscreen or any other supplies you need, and go have a fun day!
You will be surprised to know that kids are able to learn faster than normal grown-ups are.
Since the children’s brains are still fresh, they are able to keep in mind the things they gather from their environment well. This is the reason why it is important to provide fun games for kids to enable them to learn a lot for the period of the early youth.
Fun games for kids will not only serve as a way to teach your kids significant standards and abilities, moreover; it serves as attaching and getting along activities for you and your kids. By playing regular fun games for kids, parents would be able to spend more time with their kids and their relationship would become stronger.
The good thing about having fun games for kids is you never have to force your kids to learn.
All you have to do is keep the fun games for kids all the time and they will be always willing to participate. Kids love to play and games play a most important part of their days. Fun games for kids can be a challenge. Not all the fun games have benefits for kids. New games coming out all the time, but now and again the classics are still the top.
They would not even pay attention that they are taking part of an educational process; as they are having a lot of fun. They are certain that it is just a pastime but as the game goes on and on, the kids are actually learning something. One of the greatest ways to provide fun games for kids is to engage them in role-playing. Through role playing you would be able to explain them the things that they should be doing. Kids gain knowledge of by mimicking.
When you keep showing a behavior to them, they will probably display it, as well in the end; no need to talk about the call for learning of communication.
You just have to be imaginative in creating new games and make them pleasurable.

FUNNY TEACHER AND EDUCATION JOKES & CLEAN CLASSROOM, STUDENT, SCHOOL TEACHING HUMOR.
(Based on author's site www.geocities.com/tchjks)
Clean profession jokes are few, and so are education humour and teacher jokes; the amusing, hilarious classroom humor and school jokes collection here are such clean student humour and teaching jokes.
“The opposite of minimum?” asked the teacher. Answered the primary school girl, “mini dad.”
“What did the king do when he came to the throne?” asked the school teacher; many a little hand went up in the classroom; one of the pupils answered: “He sat down.”
A little school boy told his mother that his class teacher praised him for giving a better answer to the question “How many legs does a chicken have?” than all of the other children in the class. “What was your answer?” asked his mother, and the school boy repeated it: “Three!” -his was the nearest answer to the teacher’s questions.
“How many children in the family?” the teacher asked a school child; the answer was: “Me and my two sisters, Miss., and a baby who is turning out to be a boy.”
A music teacher jot down in his notebook this about one his pupils: “B-flat when his ear twisted.”
The school boys and girls were growing up, so their classroom teacher explained ‘the birds and the bees’ -”Oh,” said one of the pupils, “Like humans, then…”
When the school child began “I is…” it wasn’t funny! It didn’t amuse the teacher! “How many times must I teach it - ‘I am’ it is, ‘I.. am..’-not ‘I is’!.. Now use the word ‘I’ in a sentence, and say it so!” The little pupil, obeying the teacher’s instruction, looked at her alphabet and said: “‘I’.. am.. the letter after ‘H’!”
“O-oh!” cheered a little school girl, having got back her first marked homework from the class teacher, and bragged to her school friends “My homework’s got me a kiss from my teacher -he put a big red ‘X’ on it!”
When there was a suspicious pool of water on the floor of the classroom, and the next day also, and the day after, the teachers decided that it must stop. “Let’s all shut our eyes,” the class teacher instructed, “and let child responsible reveal himself and write it on the blackboard!” A child was heard tiptoeing to the blackboard, writing something, and then back. The teacher said “Let’s open our eyes, now, children, and read it.” There was now one more pool of water on the floor of the classroom -the writing on the board read: “I have relieved myself.”
“Where was the Declaration of Independence signed..?” asked the teacher. “Please, Miss. …” went up a child’s hand, “It was signed at the bottom.”
The boy went to school early for his first *** education class, to sit in the front row. When the boy returned from school, his parents asked how it was. “Ha!” said the schoolboy, “It was all theory!”
A teacher of religious education made this humorous entry in his notebook about one of the students: “This one’s going to hell!”
One of the anecdotes of teacher the late Orhan Seyfi Ari is about this: Having had occasion to give a teenage school kid a leaflet entitled 'Smoking Kills Early', a few days later he was given by the pupil a newspaper clipping reporting the death of an elderly celebrity which mentioned that he was a smoker.
“Give me a noun” said the teacher. “Door” answered a student. She asked another: “Give me another noun…” The other replied: “Another door.”
Having rapped the pupils for some graffiti on the blackboard, the school teacher proceeded to teach about Shakespeare and then, in the course of testing the class, asked one of the pupils: “Who wrote ‘Romeo and Juliet’..?” The pupil, miles away, responded, “It wasn’t me, Miss., I didn’t, honest!..”
(Told of that funny reply, his father saw the humour of it: “Ho-ho-ho, and all the time, he probably had!”)
“Have you brothers or sisters likely to attend this school?” asked one of the new students the head teacher; told “No,” he sighed, “Thank Goodness!”
An teacher, explaining the numbers, asked: “Give me number,” was given ‘45′ and he wrote it down as 54, “another,” said the teacher and wrote that too in reverse as 21, and “another…”; ‘11′ shouted a student, “now, mess with that, then, teach.!..”
The religious education teacher told the young pupils about Heaven, and asked who wanted to go there; “I’d like to, Miss.,” said one of the pupils, “but mum said I must come straight home after school…”
Schoolchildren in their cub scout uniforms, seen arguing with an elderly lady explained: they were trying, true to their scouts master’s teaching, to help her across the street, but she didn't want to cross it!

McCain's republican running-mate, Sarah Palin, has become a household name all over the world after the much-hyped about SNL spoof. Then there's the Leno joke (actually, everyone has joked about this) of her being clueless on the first thing about foreign policies quoting "Up til now, most of her knowledge about foreign countries came from watching the ‘Amazing Race.’ … She met with the presidents of Afghanistan, Colombia and Iraq. She was excited because these are all countries you can’t see from Alaska."
Ironically, she has gained more popularity all throughout America out of these jokes than out of being the governor of Alaska.
Barrack Obama is never new to Popville. He has been popular since his senatorial years and now, being the very first black presidential candidate. To say that he has been the hot topic of all these late night shows and even the male muse of political joke sites on the web is even an understatement. His fame has been all the rage this political joke season. "Barack Obama, you know has a lot of supporters here in America, but he’s very popular internationally. It’s quite interesting. This is a true story. It was in the paper. Barack Obama is so popular in the African town where his father was born, they’ve named a beer after him," mused Conan O'Brien.
McCain, often targeted for his age, has benefited considerably because of the jokes thrown at and about him like arguments in a presidential debate. "No, no, he said he’d like to postpone the presidential debate until he’s, you know, ahead in the polls," said Leno in his show.
The "Have-Beens" Being "In" Because of Jokes
Although already a former president, political jokes have never left Clinton ever since the Lewinsky scandal he has involved himself in. Now that his wife is also a strong name in the political rat-race, both of them have the **** of all late night jokes. Their relationship and political ventures have been intertwined in the jokes buzzing the internet. Conan O'Brien even joked, "This weekend, Bill Clinton said Hillary should not drop out of the presidential race. Yeah, when asked why, Bill said, 'because then she’d come home'.”
Who Says Election Should Be so Serious?
November 4 is Election Day. That day begins the end. Anything can happened between then and now—economies failing, running-mates getting themselves into more trouble, and the Congress being clueless as to what to do with the Wall Street issue. On the other hand, if you want to stay positive about these topsy-turvy election adventures and laugh in the process, don't fret. More political jokes are being baked in the oven.
