Thought flows in terms of stories...

Stories about events, stories about people, and stories about intentions and achievements. The best teachers are the best story tellers. We learn in the form of stories-Frank Smith. An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life-Author Unknown.

Communication is Something that Can Bridge You Between the Unknown World and the Known World with Sufficient Information to Dish Out Both Temporal and Spiritual Matters



This Article Contains Information Which is Vital to One’s Living and Progress; It Gives a Signal to the Person Concerned that There is Mankind

Information gives emphasis to the importance of free communication and freedom of expression without resorting to prejudices or biases against the others. Besides, the freedom to speak in public is the right thing and it is indispensable for the academic progress of the society that prohibits from engaging acts against speech curtailment and speech deprivation. 

Information is vital to one's living and progress. It gives a signal to the person concerned that there is mankind. The people regardless of races are exchanging notions from one another - to exercise communicative roles in the community. 

Sharing information with others and apprising the latest updates of the world today give emphasis to the significance of global communication, i.e. free communication and freedom of expression. It relinquishes our rights from "self-seclusion and self-inhibition" to help people unfurl their inundating mind streams and open out into something that results in a rich harvest of ideas from them. 

The isolated beauty and tranquility of the place connote open communication and progress. With the ambiance of the surroundings, you can feel figuratively the essence of reaching out to other people and do communicate with them around the world through "vital and candid information." 

Communication serves as a bridge between the family and the community - working together for a unified stand on the issue and for a solid foundation to come by the common goals and for the amelioration of one's life. 

It is likened metaphorically to an open beach because it is very important to all of us in this planet who ought to shun from putting a gap; otherwise, open communication will vanish into thin air and a covert communication channel will be thwarted at once without question. 

The main reason for this is that people have the right to be informed and they have to share with one another regarding the issues and other things that can be beneficial for everybody in order to reach ultimately for "the common good." 

Communication is something that can bridge you between the unknown world and the known world with sufficient information to dish out. Likewise, it's about expressing and conveying your thoughts, emotions, notions and concepts with another human beings. 

The ideal outcome of the event will animadvert upon itself and it will boomerang to the concerned persons if things are not properly addressed. It reciprocates best communication skills that can aid in keeping one's head and confidently taking charge of unfamiliar situations. 

People are more likely to listen to you, whatever you have to utter, if you can express yourself well, and this is particularly useful in influencing and negotiating significant personal, social and business matters. 

To elaborate further about communication as an advantage over the other sub-categorized implications and cognitive-voluntary schema with communicative approaches, the opposite sides are taken into account. 

Say for instance, a communication as regards the utilization of idiomatic expression like "between the devil and the deep blue sea" which figuratively emphasizes its true color and veritable sense of implicit meaning. In this expression, if you are between the devil and the deep blue sea, you are in a scenario where there are two equally unpleasant options or alternatives. 

For example, "When the new product didn't take off, the management was caught between the devil and the deep blue sea: develop a new marketing campaign or drop the product." In this open communication, as well as distinct scenario of the two comparable objects, each object will liken metaphorically to a different perspective. It comes in handy in working out the involution or rising actions and dealing with difficult people. 

Open communication is said to be fathomed, unparalleled, and incomprehensible closed-doors' gaps that sometimes implicate many dimensions, from something that is facile or so simple and something that is more complicated. It is "something" that is potentially complex to comprehend the pros and cons of a subtle and particular human being's intervention. 

To enlighten anew about the open communication and open alternative views, communication itself mainly connects to the human mind. It carries a heavy burden with consciousness and sub-consciousness. 

The open mind is also susceptible to "a lack of conviction." Too many conflicting viewpoints can enter an open mind and cause indecision and unfair treatment. With regard also to any standpoint, it is indispensable now and then to conceal the mind from reality and connect it to the real world where individuals do utterly communicate, disallow any more input, make a decision and act. 

Perchance, more significant than having an open mind is having a mind that is capable of being open or closed. The hinges of our mind are our capability to act upon. We can decide to accept or reject information depending upon the fair judgment, trials and animadversions from the people around. It might be local or international. 

Finally, information should be dished out with correct acceptance and unmistakable honor to divulge and pin down with laurels.


The essential macro-skills of communications


Essential communication is something that can bridge you between the unknown world and the known world with sufficient information to dish out. Likewise, it's about expressing and conveying your thoughts, emotions, notions and concepts with another human beings. The ideal outcome of the event will animadvert upon itself and it will boomerang to the concerned persons if things are not properly addressed. It reciprocates best communication skills that can aid in keeping one's head and confidently taking charge of unfamiliar situations. People are more likely to listen to you, whatever you have to utter, if you can express yourself well, and this is particularly useful in influencing and negotiating significant personal, social and business matters. 

Here are the essential macro-skills of communications: 

Listening
Listening is the most important skill in communication. It is a mental operation involving processing sound waves, interpreting their meaning, and storing their meaning in memory. It is a communication technique that requires the listeners to understand, interpret, and evaluate what they hear of. It paves the way for other skills to tower communicatively over the others because of its significance in terms of speech, confabs and freedom of expression. They serve as an approach to make everybody comprehend which is originally derived from the given talk or utterance. It is closely related to speaking and it enables the persons to soak in any information that is given to them; consequently, the information can be passed on to another party later on after the conversation. On the other hand, students will develop prediction and anticipation skills in listening. They will recall previous savvy or experience about the topic of the listening text before to the text, and will recall the cause-effect relationships in the listening text. Without listening, communication can also be crippled. It is vital and should be part mainly in communication. 

Speaking
Speaking is the act of talking to someone, of making an utterance with intentional and unintentional dealings, or of a discourse of a person who really speaks. It refers also to literary works and artistic communications that are composed of daily recitations, as ancient poetry and oral literature regardless of a language spoken by the people worldwide. Oral communication is a vicious cycle which always involves two persons or more: a decoder and an encoder; the message, the channel and the feedback. The teachers should create situations in which the learners could exercise their ability of oral expressions. Besides, in a blog release published online, it said speaking is one of the most direct and useful forms of communication. It said also two people can speak with each other yet still not be able to communicate anything - they could be speaking different languages. Speaking is used mainly when people are having face-to-face communication, but it can also be over the phone and now over technology such as webcams and video calling. 

Reading
Reading is another important skill in communication. It is a multifaceted process involving word recognition, comprehension, fluency and motivation. Reading is the way a person gets information from written letters and words. Reading approach is also based on the philosophy and theories concerning the meaning, nature, and structure of reading. Further, it consists of a set of decisions to carry out an objective that results in a plan and its wise implementation. Many people think of reading as a skill that is taught once and for all in the first few years of school. Reading enables man to ponder the mysteries of the world, explore accumulated knowledge, and contemplate the unknown. All the enigmatic symbolisms will be divulged through reading. No one can question it because it gives emphasis to the importance of global communication. In the past, books and newspapers were the most commonly read items; now emails and text messages form a lot of normal day's communication activities. 

Writing
By all accounts, writing means much more than using orthographic symbols. It is a thinking process which is characterized by a purposeful selection and organization of experience. It is an act of discovery, of communication, of joy. It connects us to work, to culture, to society, to existing knowledge, and to the meanings of our lives. Without it, poor communication will occur as far as written communication is concerned. It is the act of putting sentences together in connected discourse, but the main focus is on basic communicability. It is designed to give beginning learners the feeling that they are able to write and that what they write has a profound value. Most people rely on writing because they can't express themselves and it is better for them to write in order to fulfill their wishes to the persons they love or long for in order to communicate effectively. Writing is closely linked to reading as, like speaking and listening, they really work in harmony to ensure successful communication. Again language can be a potential barrier with writing. Writing activities consist of exposing the learners to diverse rhetorical forms through extensive reading and providing intensive practice in the actual writing or compositions. In conclusion to this, good writing can be taught by teachers who provide frequent and challenging chances or opportunities for writing to enable the learners to develop their skills and confidence. 

Viewing
Viewing is one of the most important skills in communication because it is a way of portraying information in the database, thus giving more emphasis to the importance of mental faculty that allows a perceiver to delineate or give details about a target that is inaccessible to normal senses due to time, distance or shielding. Of all the skills in communication, viewing can help the global audiences watch their favorite shows either in movies or in televisions, as well as other forms of viewing devices. According to Center for Media Literacy, the literate reader, however, does not stop with converting printed words into ideas. He/she contemplates those ideas, and carries on an internal dialogue with the author, congratulating the latter for brilliant insights or condemning him/her for outrageous opinions. The literate TV viewer carries on a similar dialogue with the creators of a program, congratulating or condemning them for everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. At this point, reading and critical viewing, literacy and television literacy, become synonymous. Both the reader and the viewer learn to be active - to challenge, analyze, react, explore, and understand the medium, whether it's a printed page or an illuminated TV set. 

The five macro-skills in English language teaching are very important in the learning process and in the teaching performance of the concerned students and teachers. These skills such as listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing will use as the main vehicle to come by a certain language and to serve as a conduit to encompass widely the interrelated realm of communication and community. 

All human beings bring into the world an innate faculty for language acquisition, language use, and grammar construction. It is the internalization of the rules of grammar in one's first language from a more or less random exposure to various utterances. The language learners are very able to construct new, grammatically acceptable sentences from material they have already heard. Unlike the parrot in human society, they are not limited to mere repetition of utterances. 

Language acquisition could not take place "through habit formation" because language is far too complicated to be learned in such a manner, especially given the brief time available. There is an innate capacity of human beings who get possessed and predisposed them to look for fundamental patterns in language. People could create utterances they could not have possibly encountered in a language that was spoken to them. 

In first-language acquisition, young children have certain innate characteristics that predispose them to learn a language. These characteristics include the structures, which enable the children to make the sounds used in language, and the ability to understand a number of general grammatical principles, such as the hierarchical nature of syntax. Children acquire whatever language is spoken around them, even if their parents speak a diverse language. 

An interesting feature of early language acquisition is that children seem to depend more on semantics than on syntax when speaking. Furthermore, the acquisition of language facility is one of the most interesting but perplexing phenomena in learning. The learners' ability to speak is marvelous and his mastery in other areas of learning such as listening, reading and writing gives a clear indication that he has the distinct opportunity of being a learner of a fantastic classroom teacher. 

Constant practice under the proper guidance of the teachers makes the students feel at home with any language. The teacher sees to it that the learner can imitate and speak the correct English patterns that are taught to him in the classroom. It is a psychological fact that young people can learn a new language easily and idiomatically. In the language lessons, exercises take the forms of repetition, pattern drills and accompanied reinforcements by the teachers just to learn the language. 

It is not a facile undertaking to simplify a process in the four walls of the classrooms an atmosphere of self-confidence and enthusiasm in learning a language. It is energy-consuming and time-consuming. It involves failures and successes. It involves an acceptance of individual's strengths and weaknesses - including one's own. The teacher needs to face the exciting and creative experience in the classrooms while in the process of teaching the language. Errors should be avoided. If an error is committed, quick correction is desirable in order to prevent the establishment of bad habits. 

The presence or manifestation of various teaching strategies for use in the field has perplexed a lot of public secondary English teachers whose students come from different educational backgrounds. These students come from exclusive schools which have different English books and students come from the remote or far-flung barangay elementary schools which have dearth of learning materials and limited learning experiences. The teachers are cynical whether or not the methods they use in their classes could keep up with the standards of a good and effective teaching procedure considering a mixture of students they have in the classroom. 

Teaching should be adjusted to the needs of the learners. Because of this, it is imperative to determine first their difficulties and needs so that whatever materials a teacher purports to design should be in accordance with these needs. This is what is known as directional teaching. This means an assurance of more achievements in teaching than mere teaching without any sound basis. 

The researcher has resorted to this study for the purpose of predicting secondary and tertiary levels of selected students' learning performance utilizing the macro-skills of structured lessons in English. 

Communication is the key progress and advancement and in continuing to learn things more accurately and effectively. Without communication nothing would get done and the world would pretty much stand still. All five macro skills of communication are indispensable in everyday life and should never be underestimated.

The Multiple Intelligences

In interpretative views and assessed intelligences, there are a lot of things that we have to take into account as far as Multiple Intelligences are concerned.  It is true that the existence of individual differences is a fact. With billions of people in this universe, still no two individuals are alike. With these differences, we are going to focus on the study of intelligence. Intelligence cannot be observed directly. Many psychologists introduced theories of intelligence. In 1983, Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University introduced the theories of multiple intelligences which are considered unique in many ways and diverse with “pluralistic views.”

The Multiple Intelligences indicate the significant talents of an individual or every human being in this planet. Nobody is alike in terms of attributes and qualities.

Regardless of races, wherever you are and whatever you do in this world, see to it that your talent must be harnessed and ameliorated through actions and other positive reaction of behavior to manifest  from time to time regarding one's endeavor for the sake not only you as an individual but also the community that you live in.


Your talents must be intelligently exposed through proper application and thorough screening. Just like a plant, if you lack water to sprinkle daily, the tendency is that the plant will wither and die eventually.

Each intelligence gives out positive effects to all the people in terms of talents and skills. These   intelligences reflect on individual's capability or potential to be prolific in anything he does for the amelioration of his personality, so that he can survive until the end.

Each intelligence is beneficial according to the utilization of the person's capability to develop his talent with utmost confidence to show off and uplift his potential from time to time.

Besides, the students of Minglanilla National Science High School and Guindaruhan National High School adhere to the utter "in-depth study" and  engrossment of all the ways to come by Dr. Gardner's intelligences.They ensue  with the 9 choices such as to prosper, to pan out, to succeed, to be contented, to explore, to attempt and to make them formidable in diverse ways of living--and these are the intelligences that vary also according to the capabilities, talents and inner desires to be shared among us.


To elaborate more about the multiple intelligences, judgments and assessments ought to be laid down in a specific time frame to gauge the veracity of one’s desired talent and one’s well-polished smartness.

In interpretative views and assessed intelligences, there are a lot of things that we have to take into account as far as Multiple Intelligences are concerned.

 It is true that the existence of individual differences is a fact. With billions of people in this universe, still no two individuals are alike. With these differences, we are going to focus on the study of intelligence.


Intelligence cannot be observed directly. Many psychologists introduced theories of intelligence. In 1983, Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University introduced the theories of multiple intelligences which are considered unique in many ways with “pluralistic views.”

He identified neurological bases for establishing the nine distinct intelligences which fulfill or bring about the points for intellectual norm in our society and inner core of intelligence.

Gardner further elaborates his theory according to observations. Each of us will differ from diverse points of view and inner cores of intelligences.

Besides, one of the most remarkable suggested features of the theory of multiple intelligences is how it sets forth  diverse potential ways to smart learning. If a teacher is having difficulty reaching a student in the more traditional logical ways of instruction, the theory of multiple 


Intelligence bears with other ways in which the material might be presented to facilitate effective learning. Whether you are a primary teacher or a graduate school professor seeking better ways of pursuing self-study on any subject of interest, the same basic guidelines will take precedence and apply in a manipulative way.

Whatever you are teaching or learning, see how you might connect it with a great deal ensuing with different perspectives. So, get ready and let’s dredge up and discover our nine hidden potentialities! 

1. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence indicates the capacity for inductive and deductive thinking and reasoning, including the use of numbers and the recognition of abstract patterns.
    - This is the reason behind the formula E = mc2 as developed by Albert Einstein.This intelligence   enables a person to calculate and carry out complex with  Mathematical operations. Hmmmm … why don’t you open your Science and Math books? 

    2. Linguistic Intelligence points out the ability to utilize words and language.
       - It is the ability to think and use words and languages to express complex meanings. With constant practice, you can be an orator, a speaker or journalist and even a politician. 

      3. Visual/Spatial Intelligence is the ability to visualize objects and spatial dimensions, and create internal images and pictures.
               - This intelligence enables a person to perceive and modify visual and mental images. Hurry, follow up Leonardo da Vinci’s footsteps. 

        4. Musical Intelligence signifies the ability to recognize tonal patterns and sounds, as well as a sensitivity to rhythms and beats.
                - People like Michael Jackson and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart have one thing in common. They have high musical intelligences. Of course, they translate experiences into arrangement of sounds, tonal patterns, rhythms and beats. Pass those musical notes please …. 

          5. Intra-Personal Intelligence refers to the spiritual, inner states of being, self-reflection, and awareness.
                  - There are those who are well-adjusted because they excel in intra-personal intelligences that enable them to perceive themselves through knowing their strengths, limitations, talents and capabilities. Pause … and let’s examine or scrutinize ourselves with deep thoughts away from hassles and bustles. 

            6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence shows the wisdom of the body and the ability to control physical motion.
                    - It is the skill to relate parts of the body or elements in the environment into a practical and functional system as displayed in sports, for instance. No wonder why Michael Jordan lives in our hearts today. 

              7. Inter-Personal Intelligence sets forth the capacity for person-to-person communications and relationships.
                     - Most prominent people in politics, business and entertainment world top in this kind of intelligence. It’s simply because they know how to interact well with other people and develop it into a fruitful relationship. Give your knock-out smile and make new friends! 

                8. Naturalist Intelligence deals with the ability to engross with the love of nature or passion towards the environment or surroundings.
                       - This enables the individual to survive one’s environment through looking after the nature, appreciating the natural wonders of the world and identifying flora and fauna. Therefore, attend your biology class everyday. Be a nature-lover! 

                  9. Spiritual Intelligence refers to various skills and abilities that empower you to live in harmony with your highest values and move unswervingly towards your life goals.
                          - This can be depicted through evaluation of your spiritual communication with God and your “inner” self. Improving your relationship with God will help develop your spirituality and morality. Take a break and meditate … so that your soul will be uplifted spiritually with the presence of Omnipotent Being.

                    Conjecture: True or False! Homosexual offenders will not inherit the kingdom of God




                    And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

                    Whatever definitions we get from different dictionaries, the meaning is still the same. According to Wikipedia definitions, homosexuality is one of the three main categories of sexual orientation along with bisexuality and heterosexuality within the heterosexual-homosexual continuum.  It is also the manifestation of sexual urge towards a member of one’s own sex, otherwise known as the erotic activity with a member of the same sex. On the contrary, the definitions extend beyond the scriptural statements of faith or the Holy Bible which consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a grievous sin and it should be ceased right away because it is abominable in the sight of God. Furthermore, it teaches precisely that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God.

                    To support the Holy Bible through its chapters and verses like Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9, Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13, Genesis 19: 1-13, when people continue in sin and unbelief, God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. It proclaims that homosexual offenders will not inherit the kingdom of God.

                    Homosexuality is not inborn. It is self-made which developed gradually through peers who live in the same environment. The upbringing of the family is also part of the blame and indignation. Perhaps, the parents lack of disciplining and guiding the child to be straight and not to be swayed with evil and lust that the world can offer. Like other violations of the law of chastity, homosexual behavior is a serious sin. Most of the modern-day prophets have spoken about the perils of homosexual behavior and about the church’s concern for people who may have such inclinations. Here are the straight reminders that help you excogitate about your self-identity crisis and unusual behaviors, and how you wield over your inclinations which are so powerful and which may be difficult to control. The indispensable techniques are:

                    1.     Pray always to God for helping you control your sexual drives and inclinations towards a person of the same sex;
                    2.     Don’t do anything to arouse the powerful feelings that must be expressed only in marriage;
                    3.     Try to compel yourself to think of the Holy Bible to guide and protect you if you start thinking to engage in fornication of the same sex;
                    4.     Don’t participate in passionate kissing, lie on top of another person of the same sex, or touch the private, sacred parts of another person’s body, with or without clothing;
                    5.     Don’t arouse completely those emotions in your body—your body is sacred and it is a temple of God; and
                    6.     Think always of yourself about the Holy Bible and God made man and woman to unite together for procreation with proper blessings and it is God’s “plan of salvation.”

                    Homosexuality will be controlled if the person has the self-drive to change positively in accordance with God’s volitions under His care and with gospel principles. Satan’s plan is to deceive as many of us as he can to prevent us from returning to live with our Heavenly Father. One of the most damaging things he can do is to entice us by breaking the law of chastity. He is cunning and powerful. He wants us to be like him who does immoral things on earth. One major example is homosexuality practice where the lovers of the same sex engage in exotic, but brutal sex foreplays in bed.

                    There are also other things to stop you from being homosexual. You might try to look around and catch sight of other alternative for pleasure like masturbation, thinking only of the opposite sex and no one else-- if you can change so that you won’t be gay. In this method, perchance you can be straight. You have to try these eccentric observations and pleasurable practices for your own sake! Express yourself in a world wherein you and a woman live together. Think deeply of something like having a sexual intercourse with her. If you think it does not work, retry! Think also straight fantasies to make you sexually active!

                    The complete macro-skills of communication


                    The five macro-skills are very important in the learning process and in the teaching performance of the concerned students and teachers.

The literate TV viewer carries on a similar dialogue with the creators of a program, congratulating or condemning them for everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. At this point, reading and critical viewing, literacy and television literacy, become synonymous. Both the reader and the viewer learn to be active - to challenge, analyze, react, explore, and understand the medium, whether it's a printed page or an illuminated TV set.


                    All human beings bring into the world an innate faculty for language acquisition, language use, and grammar construction. It is the internalization of the rules of grammar in one’s first language from a more or less random exposure to various utterances. The language learners are very able to construct new, grammatically acceptable sentences from material they have already heard. Unlike the parrot in human society, they are not limited to mere repetition of utterances. 

                    Language acquisition could not take place “through habit formation” because language is far too complicated to be learned in such a manner, especially given the brief time available. There is an innate capacity of human beings who get possessed and predisposed them to look for fundamental patterns in language. People could create utterances they could not have possibly encountered in a language that was spoken to them.

                    In first-language acquisition, young children have certain innate characteristics that predispose them to learn a language. These characteristics include the structures, which enable the children to make the sounds used in language, and the ability to understand a number of general grammatical principles, such as the hierarchical nature of syntax.  Children acquire whatever language is spoken around them, even if their parents speak a diverse language.

                    Constant practice under the proper guidance of the teachers makes the students feel at home with any language. The teacher sees to it that the learner can imitate and speak the correct English patterns that are taught to him in the classroom. It is a psychological fact that young people can learn a new language easily and idiomatically. In the language lessons, exercises take the forms of repetition, pattern drills and accompanied reinforcements by the teachers just to learn the language.

                    It is not a facile undertaking to simplify a process in the four walls of the classrooms an atmosphere of self-confidence and enthusiasm in learning a language. It is energy-consuming and time-consuming. It involves failures and successes. It involves an acceptance of individual’s strengths and weaknesses – including one’s own. The teacher needs to face the exciting and creative experience in the classrooms while in the process of teaching the language. Errors should be avoided. If an error is committed, quick correction is desirable in order to prevent the establishment of bad habits.

                    The presence or manifestation of various teaching strategies for use in the field has perplexed a lot of public secondary English teachers whose students come from different educational backgrounds. These students come from exclusive schools which have different English books and students come from the remote or far-flung barangay elementary schools which have dearth of learning materials and limited learning experiences. The teachers are cynical whether or not the methods they use in their classes could keep up with the standards of a good and effective teaching procedure considering a mixture of students they have in the classroom.

                    Teaching should be adjusted to the needs of the learners. Because of this, it is imperative to determine first their difficulties and needs so that whatever materials a teacher purports to design should be in accordance with these needs. This is what is known as directional teaching. This means an assurance of more achievements in teaching than mere teaching without any sound basis.

                    The researcher has resorted to this study for the purpose of predicting public science high school’s first year selected students’ learning performance utilizing the macro-skills of structured lessons in English.

                    Communication is something that can bridge you between the unknown world and the known world with sufficient information to dish out. Likewise, it’s about expressing and conveying your thoughts, emotions, notions and concepts with another human beings. The ideal outcome of the event will animadvert upon itself and it will boomerang to the concerned persons if things are not properly addressed. It reciprocates best communication skills that can aid in keeping one’s head and confidently taking charge of unfamiliar situations.  People are more likely to listen to you, whatever you have to utter, if you can express yourself well, and this is particularly useful in influencing and negotiating significant personal, social and business matters.

                    Communication is the key progress and advancement and in continuing to learn things more accurately and effectively. Without communication nothing would get done and the world would pretty much stand still. All five macro skills of communication are indispensable in everyday life and should never be underestimated.
