Totally Wired
What Teens and Tweens are really doing online.
Blog resource for parents,
aunts, uncles, teachers, librarians youth workers or any
adult trying to decode
what teens are doing online and with technology.
Totally Wired arms adults with
the language and knowledge to address the real issues of
raising tweens and teens
who have grown up with the Internet and cell phones. By
providing adults with a
greater understanding of the what their kids are really doing
on the internet and how
they are using technology, Totally Wired will give adults the
to ability to set realistic
boundaries necessary to keep children safe. . . . "To
me, this is clearly a parenting
issue -- and it starts early since kids can begin playing
games either on CD-ROM or
online as early as age 3 (probably even earlier than that!).

Poverty versus
Provident
Living
Need, typically including the necessities of daily living (food,
clothing,
shelter,
and
health
care). Besides the deprivation of essential goods and services, need
can include the loss of normal social relationships by
social exclusion, dependency
by legal
guardianship, or other inability to actively and freely participate in
society.

GENEALOGICAL and SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS:
Portal:Society
Web-based
"Federated Independent Genealogical and Family
History Web Societies,"
joined together but independently operated,
can provide automatic internal search
services and automatic online
submissions of data to all major search engines, asap.
Fees
generated from local society membership can fund individual sites,
with a worldwide
umbrella organization providing centralized
resources; paid by general advertising
revenues obtained from local
or regional organizations: cities, counties, states or
nations; clubs, fraternal organizations, etc.; in a quid pro quo mutual
arrangement.
Each independent genealogical organization and family history
society should provide
local online free web space, for any
individual
or sub-group having database information
relevant to said
organizations, of either a historical or genealogical nature; becoming
thereby, the primary review authority for certification of local
and regional genealogical
and history record depositories/standards,
with power to credential, under the auspices
of area licensing agencies
and international standards bureaus. Offer local services
via television
or radio commercials for non profits; be a sponsored agency of a local
newspaper in return for publishing periodic commentary of local civic
dignitaries; be
an established link to a local club or social organization;
become registered as a legal
not-for-profit organization, eligible
thereby for gift contributions from estates, fund drives
and the like.
Become a contact point for local educational institutions, providing
"history and genealogy" nation based patriotic programs for primary
and secondary
school systems within a given region.
