Trong 1 gia đình hay một đất nước , người đứng đầu phải có tầm nhìn xa thì con cái và người dân mới thích ứng với thực tế của cuộc sống , ko thua sút thiên hạ . Hôm nay tôi giới thiệu về cách dạy con của một phụ nữ mỹ : bà đã tạo một 'hành trang' đầy đủ để chúng thích ứng khi vào đời .-- Tài .

Tại sao tôi khuyến khích con tôi du lịch một mình .

Cathy Brown

https://matadornetwork.com/read/encourage-young-kids-travel-alone/

Tôi ko bao giờ là 1 phụ huynh trực thăng * (helicopter parent) . Do đó tôi quản lý việc du lịch của các con cũng như vậy - thụt lui về phía sau và tin tưởng một cách có ý thức (conscientiously) vào khả năng , sự chính chắn (maturity) , và suy nghĩ thông thường của chúng để chúng có thể bảo vệ (fend for) cho chính chúng trên đường đi . Và cuối cùng , bạn thấy : chúng bước tới và chứng tỏ cho mọi ng thấy chúng ko sợ hãi , có khả năng , chính chắn , và là những du khách với đầy đủ suy nghĩ thông thường - có thể làm nhiều việc hơn là chỉ tự lo cho chúng .

Các con nhỏ và tôi sống tại Argentina , Nam Mỹ trong khi ba nó sống tại Michigan . Ngay từ lúc chúng ở tuổi 5 , 7 , và 9 , khi chúng về Mỹ để thăm ba , tôi bỏ chúng ở phi trường và chúng bay về Mỹ một mình . Hảng máy bay hoàn toàn chịu trách nhiệm , nhưng trong 14 g bay và các trạm trung chuyển , chúng phải tự giải trí và ở bên nhau . Tôi có thể bay với chúng , nhưng tôi ko làm vì nhiều lý do - điều quan trọng nhứt là khi tập cho chúng quen du lịch một mình , tôi cảm thấy rằng tôi đã giúp chúng trở thành những du khách dầy dạn - biết học cách thư giản và tự tin trên đường bay .

Khi chúng tôi thăm bạn ở Buenos Aires , con gái 14 t muốn xem phim trong TP và tôi thì ko thích đi , tôi bảo nó đi một mình . Khi nó nói ko biết đường , tôi chỉ cho nó dùng bản đồ để biết phải dùng trạm tàu điện ngầm nào , hay xe bus nào . Tôi luôn luôn cho nó đủ tiền để trong trường hợp khẩn cấp , nó có thể kêu xe taxi , lên xe về nhà tôi ; nhưng nó chưa bao giờ gặp vấn đề gì khi đi một mình . Tôi rất thích khi biết rằng trong bất cứ TP lớn nào mà nó đến , nó ko có cảm giác choáng ngợp (overwhemed) - với điều kiện nó chỉ cần chút ít chuẩn bị trước và để ý chung quanh . Không khó như việc phóng hỏa tiển .

Khi con gái 16 t muốn đi Bariloche - 2 giờ xe bus từ tp tôi đang sống , rất náo nhiệt (busy) và kích động (exciting) cho một tuổi teen hơn là ở đây , tôi liền cho phép nó đi xe bus , với hai điều kiện . Nó cần liên lạc với tôi đều đặn (every-once-in-a-while) với tin nhắn qua phone , và nó luôn có trên người thông tin về 1 gia đình quen tôi tại tp đó .

Trong khi gia đình hổ trợ tôi , tôi bị 'ném đá' (get a lot of crap) từ các phụ huynh khác vì lối dạy con "vô trách nhiệm" này ! Nhưng tôi quan niệm rằng : bổn phận làm mẹ là nuôi dạy các con trở nên những ng trưởng thành có trách nhiệm (thoughtful) , sống hết lòng (conscientious) , và có năng lực . Nếu chúng chưa bao giờ được thử thách (test) khi còn nhỏ trong 1 môi trường an toàn , nếu chúng chưa bao giờ được giao cho những ví dụ tích cực/tốt và sau đó được cha mẹ tin tưởng để tự chúng thực hành các bài học này , tại sao tôi lại trông chờ chúng sẽ trở thành 1 ng trưởng thành ở tuổi 18 chỉ qua 1 đêm ? Tôi đã thấy nhiều ng lớn trong các tình huống lúc du lịch khi ko biết làm cách nào để đón xe bus, hay hoảng hốt (freak out) khi phải đổi trạm cuối ở một phi trường lớn . Tôi từng thấy các du khách đeo nữ trang hào nhoáng (flashy) và máy ảnh đắc tiền quanh cổ vào các khu tối như địa ngục (shady-as-hell) ở Rio và ngờ nghệch ko hiểu tại sao họ bị cướp . Tôi thấy nhiều ng lớn muốn du lịch Nhật , nhưng vì ko biết tiếng Nhật nên chưa bao giờ đi Nhật .

Mục tiêu dạy con của tôi là giúp các con nhỏ cảm thấy như ở nhà dù chúng ở nơi đâu trên thế giới . Tôi ko muốn nỗi sợ hãi của điều ko biết (the unknown) khiến chúng mất đi các cơ hội để du lịch , dù cho là đi học một đại học ở vùng đất xa xôi hay nhận công việc mà chúng muốn (nhưng phải đến làm việc ở Romania) . Tôi muốn chúng xem việc nhảy lên 1 máy bay hay khám phá 1 tp mới là một điều gì dễ dàng và đơn giản (something fairly straightforward and simple) . Tôi muốn giúp chúng trở nên tự tin một cách sâu sắc nơi chúng nó .

Đối với tôi , thà để con tôi du lịch một mình trong 1 môi trường an toàn tương đối - mà tôi có thể điều khiển (managed context) - còn hơn quyết định mọi thứ giùm chúng , làm cho chúng thấy rằng tôi đã ko tin chúng có thể tự mình có những quyết định đúng , và rồi một ngày nào đó sẽ để chúng "tự bơi" vào đời và trông chờ mọi thứ sẽ tốt đẹp đến với chúng .

10 Quick Ways to Speed Up a Slow PC Running Windows 7, 8, or 10

Windows PCs don’t have to slow down over time. Whether your PC has gradually become slower or it suddenly ground to a halt a few minutes ago, there could be quite a few reasons for that slowness.

As with all PC issues, don’t be afraid to give your computer a reboot if something’s not working properly. This can fix quite a few problems and is faster than attempting to manually troubleshoot and fix the problem yourself.

Clean Your PC the Easy Way with CleanMyPC

If you want to clean up your PC the easy way, CleanMyPC is a great tool to get the job done easily, and it will even keep your computer clean automatically.

Unlike the competition, it also includes great tools like a Clean Uninstaller, to get rid of applications and clean up the junk that they leave behind. All with the click of a button.

Find Resource-Hungry Programs

Your PC is running slow because something is using up those resources. If it’s suddenly running slower, a runaway process might be using 99% of your CPU resources, for example. Or, an application might be experiencing a memory leak and using a large amount of memory, causing your PC to swap to disk. Alternately, an application might be using the disk a lot, causing other applications to slow down when they need to load data from or save it to the disk.

To find out, open the Task Manager. You can right-click your taskbar and select the “Task Manager” option or press Ctrl+Shift+Escape to open it. On Windows 8, 8.1, and 10, the new Task Manager provides an upgraded interface that color-codes applications using a lot of resources. Click the “CPU,” “Memory,” and “Disk” headers to sort the list by the applications using the most resources. If any application is using too much resources, you might want to close it normally — if you can’t, select it here and click “End Task” to force it to close.

Close System Tray Programs

Many applications tend to run in the system tray, or notification area. These applications often launch at startup and stay running in the background but remain hidden behind the up arrow icon at the bottom-right corner of your screen. Click the up arrow icon near the system tray, right-click any applications you don’t need running in the background, and close them to free up resources.

Disable Startup Programs

Better yet, prevent those applications from launching at startup to save memory and CPU cycles, as well as speed up the login process.

On Windows 8, 8.1, and 10, there’s now a startup manager in the Task Manager you can use to manage your startup programs. Right-click the taskbar and select “Task Manager” or press Ctrl+Shift+Escape to launch it. Click over to the Startup tab and disable startup applications you don’t need. Windows will helpfully tell you which applications slow down your startup process the most.

Reduce Animations

Speed Up Any PC, Smartphone, or Tablet By Disabling Animations

Windows uses quite a few animations, and those animations can make your PC seem a bit slower. For example, Windows can minimize and maximize windows instantly if you disable the associated animations.

To disable animations, press Windows Key + X or right-click the Start button and select “System.” Click “Advanced System Settings” on the left and click the “Settings” button under Performance. Choose “Adjust for best performance” under Visual Effects to disable all the animations, or select “Custom” and disable the individual animations you don’t want to see. For example, uncheck “Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing” to disable the minimize and maximize animations.

Lighten Your Web Browser

How to Enable Click-to-Play Plugins in Every Web Browser

There’s a good chance you use your web browser a lot, so your web browser may just be a bit slow. It’s a good idea to use as few browser extensions, or add-ons, as possible — those slow down your web browser and cause it to use more memory.

Go into your web browser’s Extensions or Add-ons manager and remove add-ons you don’t need. You should also consider enabling click-to-play plug-ins. Preventing Flash and other content from loading will prevent unimportant Flash content from using CPU time.

Scan for Malware and Adware

There’s also a chance your computer is slow because malicious software is slowing it down and running in the background. This may not be flat-out malware — it may be software that interferes with your web browsing to track it and add additional advertisements, for example.

To be extra safe, scan your computer with an antivirus program. You should also scan it with Malwarebytes, which catches a lot of “potentially unwanted programs” (PUPs) that most antivirus programs tend to ignore. These programs try to sneak onto your computer when you install other software, and you almost certainly don’t want them.

If your hard drive is almost completely full, your computer may run noticeably slower. You want to leave your computer some room to work on your hard drive. Follow our guide to freeing up space on your Windows PC to free up room. You don’t need any third-party software — just running the Disk Cleanup tool included in Windows can help quite a bit.

Defragment Your Hard Disk

RELATED ARTICLE

Do I Really Need to Defrag My PC?

Defragmenting your hard disk actually shouldn’t be necessary on modern versions of Windows. It’ll automatically defragment mechanical hard drives in the background. Solid-state drives don’t really need traditional defragmentation, although modern versions of Windows will “optimize” them — and that’s fine.

You shouldn’t worry about defragmentation most of the time. However, if you do have a mechanical hard drive and you’ve just put a lot of files on the drive — for example, copying a huge database or gigabytes of PC game files — those files might be defragmented because Windows hasn’t gotten around to defragmenting them yet. In this situation, you might want to open the disk defragmenter tool and perform a scan to see if you need to run a manual defrag program.

Uninstall Programs You Don’t Use

Open the Control Panel, find the list of installed programs, and uninstall programs you don’t use and don’t need from your PC. This can help speed your PC up, as those programs might include background processes, autostart entries, system services, context menu entries, and other things that can slow down your PC. It’ll also save room on your hard drive and improve system security — for example, you definitely shouldn’t have Java installed if you’re not using it.

Reset Your PC / Reinstall Windows

Everything You Need to Know About “Reset This PC” in Windows 8 and 10

If the other tips here didn’t fix your problem, the one timeless solution to fix Windows problems — aside from rebooting your PC, of course — is getting a fresh Windows installation.

On modern versions of Windows — that is, Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 — it’s easier to get a fresh Windows installation than ever. You don’t have to get Windows installation media and reinstall Windows. Instead, you can simply use the “Reset your PC” feature built into Windows to get a new, fresh Windows system. This is similar to reinstalling Windows and will wipe your installed programs and system settings while keeping your files.

If your PC is still using a mechanical hard drive, upgrading to a solid-state drive — or just ensuring your next PC has an SSD — will offer you a dramatic performance improvement, too. In an age where most people won’t notice faster CPUs and graphics processors, solid-state storage will offer the single biggest boost in overall system performance for most people.

How to Find and Remove Malware With Windows Defender Offline

Microsoft has long offered a “Windows Defender Offline” tool you can use to perform malware scans from outside of Windows. With Windows 10’s Anniversary Update, this tool is included with Windows, and even easier to launch. Here’s how to use it, no matter which version of Windows you’re on.

Windows Defender may prompt you to download and run Windows Defender Offline if it finds malware it can’t remove. But, if you’re concerned your computer might be infected, it’s worth running an offline scan with something like Windows Defender Offline just to be safe.

Why an “Offline” Scan Is So Useful

RELATED ARTICLE

How to Use An Antivirus Boot Disc or USB Drive to Ensure Your Computer is Clean

This tool is called “Windows Defender Offline” because it scans when Windows isn’t running. Rather than attempting to run from within Windows and scan your computer while Windows is running–and malware could be running in the background–it restarts your computer into a clean environment and scans from outside of Windows.

Since the tool scans while Windows isn’t running, any malware that might be running inside Windows can’t interfere. Some rootkits may hide from Windows during the bootup process, but be detectable when running a scan from outside Windows. Some malware may hook so deep into Windows that it can’t be removed while Windows is running, but can be removed if you run a standalone scan outside the OS.

This tool is essentially an antivirus boot disc, but integrated into Windows 10 and easier to run. (And if you’re on Windows 7 or 8.1, you can make a disc and run it yourself.)

Assuming you’ve upgraded to the Anniversary Update, you can do this in one click from within Windows 10. You won’t find this option in the Windows Defender desktop application, however. It’s only located in the Settings app.

Head to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender. Scroll down and click the “Scan Offline” button under Windows Defender Offline.

After you click this button, your computer will automatically reboot and begin scanning your PC for malware. The scan may take up to fifteen minutes. If any malware is found, you’ll be prompted to clean it up from within the Windows Defender Offline interface. If no malware is found, your computer will automatically boot back into Windows once the scan is complete.

How Do I Know if I’m Running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows?

For previous versions of Windows, you can download Windows Defender Offline, create a bootable USB drive, CD, or DVD, and boot the Windows Defender Offline tool on the PC. This works identically to the Windows Defender Offline feature on Windows 10, but requires you create the bootable media and boot it up yourself.

Microsoft recommends creating bootable media on a known-clean computer. Malware can interfere with the media creation process if it’s running in the background, so if you’re concerned your current PC might be infected, use another PC to download Windows Defender Offline and create the media.

Head to the Windows Defender Offline download page, scroll down, and download either the 32-bit or 64-bit version depending on whether your PC is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows. Here’s how to check.

Run the downloaded msstool64.exe or msstool32.exe file and you’ll be prompted to create installation media on a USB drive, or burn it to a CD or DVD. You can also have the tool create an ISO file, which you can burn to a disc yourself using your preferred disc-burning program. The tool will create Windows Defender Offline media containing the latest virus definitions.

If you use a USB drive, the drive will be reformatted and any data on it will be erased. Be sure to back up any important data from the drive first.

Once you’ve created the USB drive, CD, or DVD, you’ll need to remove it from your current computer and take it to the computer you want to scan. Insert the USB drive or disc into the other computer and restart the computer.

Boot from the USB drive, CD, or DVD to run the scan. Depending on the computer’s settings, it may automatically boot from the media after you restart it, or you may have to press a key to enter a “boot devices” menu or modify the boot order in the computer’s UEFI firmware or BIOS.

Once you’ve booted from the device, you’ll see a Windows Defender tool that will automatically scan your computer and remove malware. It works identically to Windows Defender Offline on Windows 10, and it’s the same interface you’d see in Microsoft Security Essentials on Windows 7 and Windows Defender on Windows 8.1.

After the scan is complete and you’re done with the tool, you can reboot your computer and remove the Windows Defender Offline media to boot back into Windows.

Android isn’t largely thought of as a desktop operating system, but if you’re curious about how Google’s mobile OS works, running it on a device you already have isn’t a bad idea. This will give you an idea of what to expect on a phone or tablet, all without making a single change to your laptop or desktop since you can easily do this from a flash drive or memory card.

Step One: Prep Your Drive (or Card) and Install Android

RELATED ARTICLE

How to Create a Bootable Linux USB Flash Drive, the Easy Way

For this guide, you’ll need a USB drive or SD card that’s at least 2GB in size. Be sure to copy anything you want off of it, because you’ll need to format it as part of this process. So everything that’s currently on the drive will be lost forever. No pressure.

With all your data backed up, you’ll need a build of the Android x86 project from here. I’m testing the 64-bit version of Android 6.0, but feel free to pick which one works best for your current setup. Click the “view” button to start the download—depending on your internet connection speed, this could take a bit of time to finish.

While that’s downloading, you’ll also want to download Rufus, a free Windows tool that will install Android onto the flash drive for us. It’s completely portable, so download and store it wherever you want—no installation necessary.

Once everything is finished, launch Rufus. You may get a warning from Windows asking if you want to allow Rufus to make changes to your device—just click “Yes.”

With Rufus up and running, go ahead and choose your USB drive in the top dropdown box. this is a crucial step to get correct, since Rufus will erase the drive in question. If you have more than one removable drive inserted into your computer, double-check the drive letter to make sure you’re installing to the correct one!

Next, make sure “FAT32” is selected from the File System dropdown.

Lastly, tick the “Create bootable disc using” box, then select ISO Image from the dropdown.

Click the little CD drive-looking icon next to “ISO Image” to select the Android x86 ISO file you downloaded earlier.

Once your file has been selected, it will do a quick scan-check of the file to confirm all is well. Assuming everything checks out, you’re ready to install this thing. Click the Start button to make it happen.

A dialog box should appear here letting you know that the file is an ISOHybrid image, which makes it can be written one of two ways: as an ISO or DD image. The default and recommended method—ISO Image—should be pre-selected. Go ahead and click “OK” to confirm.

One more warning will appear to let you know that everything on the drive will be erased. Click “OK” to move forward, brave soldier.

The process of installing the ISO to the drive shouldn’t take long at all. A green progress bar will show up at the bottom to let you know when the process has been completed. Once it’s done, you can close Rufus and remove your flash drive.

Step Two: Boot From Your USB Drive

Next, you’ll want to boot your computer from that USB drive. You may have to alter some settings in the BIOS to do this, or your computer may allow it out of the box. You can read this guide for more info.

Provided everything is set up properly, you should be able to just start your PC and press a key like F10 or F12 to enter a boot menu (this may vary from computer to computer). From there, select your USB drive.

After you get it all figured out, a menu will show up asking how you’d like to run the installation: Live CD mode or Install it to the hard disk. Since we’re just testing things out here, choose the first option to run Android x86 without installing it.

After a few seconds, you should see the Android boot animation. Give it a few, and the setup menu will appear.

Go ahead and follow the on-screen instructions to get logged in with your Google account—it’s all smooth sailing from here, just like setting up any other Android device.

Note: My test system glitched up pretty heavily during the setup process, but it was just visual—once I passed the login portion, it worked perfectly. You may or may not run into similar issues.

Using Android x86 on Your Computer

If you’ve used Android before, you’ll find the experience to be exactly the same as a tablet or phone. The keyboard and mouse should work fine with Android, though using an operating system designed for touch with a mouse is always going to be slightly awkward. If you have a touch screen laptop, then the experience should feel much more natural.

Here are a few additional pointers:

• Touchpad gestures, like two-finger dragging and whatnot, will work perfectly in Android. Hover over the notification bar and drag down with two fingers—the notification shade should appear.
• Long-pressing works exactly the same as on a touch device: just long-click the mouse. Right clicks won’t work.
• The Windows key works as a home button—pressing it will send you right back to the home screen.
• All media keys should also work out of the box. Volume, brightness, and track controls for music were flawless on my test system (a Dell XPS 13).
• If your laptop has a webcam, that should also work with the camera app.
• When you’re ready to exit Android x86, just hit your computer’s power button. The “Power Off” dialog will show up just like normal—power down, remove your USB drive, and restart the computer to get back into Windows.

Your mileage may vary with all of these things depending on drivers and whatnot, but in my experience, everything worked swimmingly.

It’s also worth noting that this is still very much a beta project—plan on experiencing certain quirks and bugs during your use. You could use it as your daily operating system, but it doesn’t appear to be intended for that sort of use right now. But hey, you do you, man—if you like it, reboot from USB and choose the “install to hard disk” option and enjoy. Just make sure you back up your data first.
