Reynald,

Logic answers

banker Green

Good job.

Do you have a projection date for the publication? I am so glad that the corrections are going well. I worried that you would be worried about being away. I hope that you are enjoying Camp Blog. Are you traveling to the workshop everyday, or are you staying at a hotel?

Reynald,

The comments for the forms are attached. I chose the triangle, but I really loved the squiggly line. This is an activity that a professional presented at the University of Phoenix graduation last May. The faculty had to stand up, and many of them selected the square. Square Comments.docx

Reynald,

Would you change your mind if you saw the following:

Take a very quick look at the shapes below. Decide which one is 'you'. If you really can't decide, then it might be worth taking a look at the notepad next to the computer, or telephone, or meeting room - there are sure to be doodles on it somewhere. Find one of your doodles and look for the predominant shape. That's the one to pick! See attachment.

Barbara,

I would go for square at the first. Please share the interpretation. Include the rest.

Here is a wild guess for the colors:
Black-photographer
Green-banker
White-Singer
Brown-Grocer.

I did found hard time cracking it and I;m not even sure with my answers.

Camb blog still ongoing.

Reynald

P.S. I would try twitter for the social networking site. Once, I get the hang of it I will share it to you.

Reynald,

Because of professional reasons, I do not engage in social networking sites, only this Telecentre. Why? Do you have any suggestions?

Please don't feel obligated to work the logic problem. I was just in one of my creative moods.

Barbara,

Thanks for the info.

I'l attend to your previous messages later. By the way, do you have any social networking sites aside from this?

Reynald,

Be very, very careful. If receive an email offering you an opportunity to attend a World Youth Organization for Human Welfare conference, do not open the email. Do not trust this organization. I will continue to search to see what I find.

Here is what I discovered on the Internet:

"World Youth Organization For Human Welfare was referenced in unsolicited emails that we have received which are set forth below. These emails are very suspicious and we believe there is a high risk that these emails are an attempt to scam people into sending money. This site contains a large collection of fraud and bogus emails that attempt to scam the recipient into sending money for non-existent fortunes, inheritances, cases of money, business partnerships, lottery winnings, etc. Don't be fooled by official looking documents (e.g. phony governmental certificates, checks and passports) as scammers make a living forging these things. If you get an e-mail that is similar to one in our collection, you should delete it. Do not contact the person and especially do not give out personal information such as bank account information or your social security number. NEVER pay any fees of any kind. If you are victimized by the fraud, there is not much that you can do. You may want to visit other sites to learn more."

Reynald,

Now that you are in camp, you must exercise both sides of your enormous brain. At the first bugle, you may begin this exercise.

Logic 101.

A young woman attending a party was introduced to four men in rather rapid succession and, as usual, at such gatherings, their respective types of work were mentioned rather early in the conversation. Unfortunately, she was afflicted with a somewhat faculty memory. Half an hour later, she could remember only that she had met a Mr. Brown, a Mr. White, a Mr. Black, and a Mr. Green. She recalled that among them were a photographer, a grocer, a banker, and a singer, but she could not recall which was which. Her hostess, a fun-loving friend, refused to refresh her memory, but offered four clues. Happily the young woman's logic was better than her memory, and she quickly paired each man with his profession? Can you? Here are the clues:

1) Mr. White approached the banker for a loan.
2) Mr. Brown had met the photographer when he hired him to take pictures of his wedding.
3) The singer and Mr. White are friends, but have never had business dealings.
4) Neither Mr. Black nor the singer had ever met Mr. Green before that evening.

I attached a Camp Blog Log chart in which you can work.

Reynald,

Oh, how exciting! I believe we could write a song about Camp Blog, or it could be movie title. When visualizing Camp Blog, my mind's eye races to and fro with imagines that stimulate fear, humor, cyber space, and an eternal triangle.

Here is something for you:

Do not think about the following question. Please just send the first item that comes to your mind. Close your eyes and lock out all all obstacles to free thinking. I tell my students that it is like shutting down your computer and, then, opening up a new page.

Ready....
Which of the following is your favorite? Remember do not think about why you think as you think. A square, a circle, a triangle, or a squiggly line?

Barbara
