Exercise 3

1.What is the difference between journal and a magazine?

Scholarly Journal:

A scholarly journal contains original research articles by people who are experts in a particular field and who share their research with other professionals in order to stimulate discussion and debate. The articles are first “peer reviewed,” that is, there is always an editorial board which will critique each article for professional content and integrity. The articles are based on research done by the author and usually contain an abstract (a summary of the article) and a bibliography. The scholarly journal is published by professional organizations such as the American Psychological Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the International Reading Association, the American Society of Animal Science, the Modern Language Association, or by leading scholarly publishing houses such as Haworth Press, Sage Publications, Pergamon Press, Elsevier, etc. Scholarly journals are usually published monthly or quarterly.

Examples Of Scholarly Journals:

-Journal of Early Adolescence Journal of American History

-Social Problems Families in Society

-Animal Behavior Journal of Equine Veterinary Science

-Early Childhood Research Quarterly Nature

Popular Magazines:A popular magazine, such as Time and Newsweek, contain articles of current events or general interest and are geared to the reading public as being informative or recreational. Abstracts and bibliographies are usually not included. Popular magazines are often published weekly or monthly.

Examples of Popular Magazines:


Ebony


Essence


Time


Sports Illustrated


Rolling Stone

3. What is the call number access the library website?


A call number is a group of numbers and/or letters put together to tell you where in the library
to find your book.
A call number is located at the bottom of the book on the spine.It helps you to find your books quicker.Once you've got your call number from the card catalog, it's time to go find your book!



This is where a call number is located:

Here's something to remember:
Don't let it confuse you, but just because it's a call number doesn't mean it has numbers! Some call numbers are made up of letters.We'll show you some examples later.

4. What are sources of knowledge? Identify as much as you know.

Inspiration, revelation, insight, intuition, ecstasy, divine sight and the supreme, blissful state are the seven planes of knowledge. There are four sources of knowledge: instinct, reason, intuition, and direct knowledge of Brahman (God) or Brahma-Jnana (knowledge of God).
InstinctWhen an ant crawls on your right arm, the left hand automatically moves towards the right arm to drive the ant away. The mind does not reason here. When you see a scorpion near your leg, you withdraw the leg automatically. This is called instinctive or automatic movement. As you cross a street, how instinctively you move your body to save yourself from the cars! There is no thought during such kind of mechanical movement.

Instinct is found in animals and birds also. In birds, the ego does not interfere with the free, divine flow and play. Hence the work done by them through their instinct is more perfect than that done by human beings. Have you ever noticed the intricate and exquisite work done by birds in the building of their beautiful nests ?

Reason Reason is higher than instinct and is found only in human beings. It collects facts, generalizes, reasons out from cause to effect, from effect to cause, from premises to conclusions, from propositions to proofs. It concludes, decides and comes to final judgment. It takes you safely to the door of intuition and leaves you there.

Belief, reason, knowledge and faith are the four important psychic processes. First you have belief in a doctor. You go to him for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor makes a thorough examination of you and prescribes certain medicines. You take them. You reason out: "Such and such is the disease. The doctor has given me some iron and iodide. Iron will improve my blood. The iodide will stimulate the lymphatics and absorb the exudation and growth in the liver. So I should take it.

Then, by a regular and systematic course of these drugs, the disease is cured in a month. You then get knowledge and have perfect faith in the efficacy of the medicine and the proficiency of the doctor. You recommend this doctor and his drugs to your friends so that they too might benefit from his treatment.
IntuitionIntuition is personal spiritual experience. The knowledge obtained through the functioning of the causal body (Karana Sarira) is intuition. Sri Aurobindo calls it the Supermind or Supramental Consciousness. There is direct perception of truth, or immediate knowledge through Samadhi or the Superconscious State. You know things in a flash.

Professor Bergson preached about intuition in France to make the people understand that there was a higher source of knowledge than the intellect.
In intuition there is no reasoning process at all. It is direct perception. Intuition transcends reason but does not contradict it. Intellect takes a man to the door of intuition and returns. Intuition is Divya Drishti (divine vision); it is the eye of wisdom. Spiritual flashes and glimpses of truth, inspiration, revelation and spiritual insight come through intuition.

The mind has to be pure for one to know that it is the intuition that is functioning at a particular moment.
Brahma-Jnana (knowledge of God) is above intuition. It transcends the causal body and is the highest form of knowledge. It is the only Reality.

Islandwide clean-up this weekend

AN ALL-OUT CAMPAIGN against litter and garbage will be waged over the weekend when the Future Centre Trust and the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) of the Ministry of the Environment stage clean-ups around the island.
More than 400 volunteers will descend on beaches, highways, byways and gullies from Long Beach in Christ Church to Smuttons Bay in Clinketts, St Lucy. for the campaign.
Nicole Garofano, of the Future Centre Trust, who is co-ordinating Clean Up Barbados, said so far 460 people had volunteered, while 14 companies had made donations to the cause.
She added a contingent from the Barbados Defence Force was also supposed to join the clean-up.

"Our aim is to raise the profile of waste management in Barbados - how much trash is actually out there in Barbados' environment both from our creation and that which was accumulated from offshore areas," she explained.
This is the first time the Future Centre Trust had initiated such a clean-up and Garofano said they had tried to get communities interested in the campaign.

"We're trying to offer it to any community that might notice somewhere that needs cleaning - it can be a gully, a beach, a pasture - any area they feel need attention," she explained.
Role
Garofano further explained the Future Centre Trust would be working with the EPD, even though the EPD's clean-up has the role of specifically gathering information for International Coastal Clean Up Day.

"Our Clean Up Barbados is about weighing yes, but more about cleaning," Garofano said.

Meanwhile, the EPD will be cleaning Morgan Lewis beach, in St Andrew and data about the type and weight of the litter removed will be used in its National Marine Litter Monitoring programme.

Other beaches earmarked for clean-up that weekend are Long Beach, Christ Church, Browne's Beach, St Michael and Cattlewash, St. Joseph; while Jack-in-the-Box gully in St Thomas and Blackman's gully in St Joseph will also be cleaned.
