Editorial
"By others faults the wise correct their own" - Proverb
 
In 2007 former NBA basketballer Bob Bigelow came to New Zealand and presented at the Sport NZ (then SPARC) Connecting Coaches Conference in Wellington. Bigelow had recently published a book called Just let the kids play. Bigelow had written the book because he believed that too often adults were ruining sport for kids. Of course, Bigelow had many stories from his United States context to support his view - we all laughed at his 'World Series for Under 6s' stories, partly because it seemed (and is) ridiculous. And partly, I suspect, because we believed 'only in America'. Now, while we here in 'little 'ol NZ' have not exactly copied the excesses of the US sporting culture, we have seen a trend toward the commercialising and professionalising of youth sport. With this trend has come earlier specialisation and a greater focus on winning earlier in children's sporting lives. Bob Bigelow's 'big idea' was to create new approaches to play that better serve the physical and emotional needs of young athletes, and by doing so give more kids the desire to participate in sport for life. Almost 10 years on from Bigelow's visit, his hope is echoed in the 'physical literacy' approach. Understandably, some of you right now will be asking yourself, 'What's the physical literacy approach?' In the first story this month, Karen Laurie, Sport NZ's Early Years and Primary School Consultant, discusses physical literacy and where fundamental movement skills (FMS) fit in to the physical literacy approach. Karen also highlights one way coaches might make sense of physical literacy when coaching kids.

Bringing Physical Literacy to Life through Foundation Coaching
By Karen Laurie, Sport NZ
 
Okay, let's get the 'dry' bit out of the way first … a person's physical literacy is their motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding of physical activity.
 
Physical literacy is not a static state but can be best considered a person's lifelong journey based on their choices about being physically active.
 
Physical literacy cannot be 'taught' as such. It will be the outcome of the many physical activity experiences a participant has including physical education (PE), play, sport and recreation. The more these experiences reflect 'quality' or 'value' the more positive their impact on a person's physical literacy.
 
As I travel around the country discussing 'physical literacy', a question I often get from coaches is: 'Okay, I kinda get what physical literacy is, but where does that leave 'fundamental movement skills' (FMS) when coaching children?'
 
Achieving proficiency in FMS is one attribute that contributes to the emergence of physical literacy in young children. However, physical literacy requires the development of more than motor skills, and much more than achieving proficiency in FMS.
 
In recognising the multifaceted nature of physical literacy it becomes important to consider that while FMS contributes to physical competence, a person's knowledge and understanding of how they move and explore the world also needs to be developed.
 
From this perspective it is perhaps more significant to focus on how these skills are developed and in what context. In short, an environment based on play, creativity and exploring movement is the best way for children to build their movement vocabulary and FMS.
 
But it's fair to say that in recent years some children's sport and physical activity programmes have overemphasised the physical and technical skills. Or as one person put it: "Have we got so busy teaching kids how to jump that we've forgotten to just let them jump for joy?"
 
At a recent physical literacy workshop at Sport NZ the attendees (from sports and Regional Sports Trusts) began looking at how coaches, parents and teachers can integrate the physical literacy approach into children's programmes.
 
A couple of strong ideas came through:
 
·        Start with the idea of developing 'confidence and competence' rather than developing 'the basic skills'. This places the child's needs at the centre of the session rather than the content or sport curriculum. It also recognises the interplay of children's social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual skills.
 
·        Focus on creating an experience that makes the kids want to come back and participate again.
 
One model Sport NZ is exploring as a way to assist foundation coaches support and motivate kids to keep participating looks like this:

 
Leave Me: Please leave me to play, have fun and work it out for myself.
 
Watch Me: As my parent/caregiver/teacher/foundation coach please just watch me, and let me know if you think I need physical, social, cognitive or emotional support.
 
Help Me: Help me if I need it, and when I'm ready. Please use questions and challenges that let me understand the help you are giving.
 
Let Me: Let me access lots of different opportunities and experiences, and let me participate fully.
 
Kids tell us they love sport and being active "because it's fun!"
 
As coaches, parents and teachers, thinking about a physical literacy approach rather than the 'fundamentals' in these early years can be a great first step to getting kids to come back again for another session or game.
 
If you're interested in this area or want to be part of the discussions – please contact Karen Laurie at Sport NZ: karen.laurie@sportnz.org.nz

Health Tip: Why Arthritis and Fatigue Often Go Together

One reason: pain can make quality sleep elusive

(HealthDay News) -- Fatigue is a popular complaint among people with arthritis, and it can make daily tasks even more challenging.

The Arthritis Foundation explains why arthritis and fatigue often go together:

  • Pain can make it difficult to get enough quality sleep.
  • People with depression, which is more common among people with arthritis, are more likely to be tired.
  • Some arthritis medications can cause fatigue as a side effect.
  • Inflammation flares can lead to fatigue.

Fwd: How I stayed sane at Harvard -- lessons for us all

I went to one of the most prestigious universities in the world -- and as you probably know, it was full of crazy people.

Now it's true: there are truly great professors there, and many of the students are seriously top notch. Some of the most meaningful friendships of my life date back to those years (1990-1994).

But come on: one of my history professors required us to get our books at Revolution Books.

This wasn't the Ron Paul Revolution, I can tell you that.

The great mass murderers of the 20th century were all over the walls of that store.

We really had it all when I was at Harvard: the "patriarchy" stuff, the fake rape statistics, the victim groups, all of it.

Although I had plenty of non-libertarian friends, I stayed sane by writing for a right-of-center student publication and seeking out people who didn't think I was crazy.

So I don't want to hear about how pointless it is to "preach to the choir." I was a member of that choir, doggone it, and if I hadn't been preached to, it would have been a heck of a lot harder to endure an environment like that.

And even -- or perhaps especially -- at Harvard, I had to learn a lot of history on my own. The nice thing about being a dissident was that none of the books I wanted to read were ever checked out. They were always right there, collecting dust on the shelves.

I know a lot of you figured out only much later that you'd been victims of educational malpractice. I myself happened to figure it out as it was happening, so I began doing a lot of reading on my own.

What the colleges (and high schools, for that matter) get away with today drives me up a wall.

But I no longer curse the darkness.

I've lit a pretty big candle. It's my Liberty Classroom.

It's for victims of educational malpractice everywhere.

I've teamed up with scholars I trust to teach US history, economics, European history, political thought, logic, and more, the way these subjects ought to be taught.

Not making the most of your commute? Now you will.

Want to know what you can do for the movement?

This. Improve yourself first. Learn everything you can.

Plus, if you're like I used to be, it drives you crazy that you can't always hold your own against people who despise our ideas.

You know you should be winning -- and really decisively at that -- but you can't always find the right argument or you don't know all the facts or the history.

And let's face it: it's hard to argue for our position. It runs counter to everything people learned in school, and it defies what to most people seems like common sense: why, if we want something, let's just have the government do it!

We'll help.

Thousands of liberty lovers are already there.

Today is our biggest sale of the year. Get grabbing before this clock runs out.

Research on Vote Fraud is Still Needed

http://targetfreedom.com/clinton/research-on-vote-fraud-is-still-needed/

With the exception of Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, and New Mexico all of the states that supposedly went for Clinton are in TWO time zones:
Eastern Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time.

It looks as though Clinton was most likely to be called the winner in the states that either had the first polls to open, or the states that had the last polls to close.

The first polls to open were the Eastern Standard Time States bordering on the Atlantic Ocean, north of North Carolina. All of those states went for Clinton.
The last polls to close were the Pacific Standard Time States bordering on the Pacific Ocean.
All of these states went for Clinton, except for Alaska.

Clinton was on a roll from the North East, and heading west, until vote fraud was proven in Pennsylvania, AND ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON VIDEO. This video has now been removed, supposedly because of a copyright claim.

After the vote fraud was proven in Pennsylvania, by being caught on video, the original voting machine fraud stopped working.

Clinton got no other states, all the way to the west coast; except for Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, and New Mexico.

The possibility that there was an honest election in Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, and New Mexico is still under investigation.

Obama's home state of Illinois might have had a better system of vote fraud than the one that crashed in Pennsylvania, causing a domino effect of vote fraud crashes all the way across the country.

Colorado, and New Mexico may have been impacted by the voting of illegal aliens.

Minnesota may have been impacted by the Jihad vote.

States that voted by mail went for Clinton.

Was there another type of vote fraud installed by the time that the polls in the Pacific Standard Time States closed?

This was in the the description of the video has now been removed, supposedly because of a copyright claim.
Voter Fraud Caught on Camera in Pennsylvania (Election 2016)
PENNSYLVANIA - Voters in Clinton Township are reporting seeing voting machines switch their votes from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton before their very eyes. CBS Pittsburgh spoke to Bobbie Lee Hawranko who said:
"I went back, pressed Trump again. Three times I did this, so then I called one of the women that were working the polls over. And she said you must be doing it wrong. She did it three times and it defaulted to Hillary every time"

Election fraud is a serious crime. It doesn't matter if you are voting for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, if you witness or suspect election fraud, voter fraud or voter suppression at the polls on Tuesday November 8, 2016 you need to report it immediately.
This guide will show you how.

http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2016/10/03/pa-voting-machine-issues/

The video shows Philadelphia voting machine refusing to let man vote for Donald Trump. Video evidence allegedly shows votes automatically being switched from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton.

Sun Tzu wrote, in The Art of War,
that the best time to attack is when the enemy is in retreat.
Do not sleep because there seems to have been a certain level of victory.
We must now rout out every criminal who has participated in, or condoned, vote fraud.
We will not have to build a new prison.
Obama and Clinton have already had FEMA build re-education camps, which we intended for liberty activists.
Hillery can be President of the student body there.
Hillery might even win an election for President of the student body there...
... as long as they were using electronic vote counting machines.

The key to stopping election fraud is that they cannot stop the public outrage.
The power elite are not interested in justice.
The power elite are not interested in what is right or wrong.
The power elite are not even interested in what is legal.
The power elite are only interested in who has the power.
Creating a wave of public outrage will give them a new attitude about who has the power.
Without public outrage you are just seen as a small voice crying in the wilderness.
This new awareness about vote fraud will give them a new attitude about who has the power.
We must intensify this new awareness about vote fraud.
This new awareness about vote fraud will be the wave that you can ride to achieve justice in your own election fraud.

It seems like a big job, but here is something a large number of ordinary people can do:
Get the voter registration list, AND get the list of people WHO ACTUALLY VOTED, and see how many of those names are for real LIVING people, in this country legally, and living at real addresses.
If every precinct will just do there own area, it will not be such a big job.
THEN GET RID OF ELECTRONIC VOTE COUNTING.

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
We add this:
"The battle for liberty is never won, and is never lost.
The battle for liberty always continues.
It is never too late, and it is never soon enough, to defend freedom.
No matter how enslaved we are, we always have hope.
No matter how free we are we are never safe.
NOTHING EVER LIMITS THE GOVERNMENT, EXCEPT THE PEOPLE.
Any generation that fails to defend freedom will lose it.
The next generation will have to shed blood to gain it back.
When the defense of liberty becomes a crime, tyranny is already in force. At that point failure to defend liberty makes slavery at certainty." John Perna
