Have you ever seen someone get angry at a computer when it froze and would not function? How did they behave? Every new technology seems to bring with it a certain amount of frustration, particularly for those with low frustration tolerance.

Frustration tolerance refers to the quality of a person's performance on a task or during information processing when frustration occurs. When a person becomes very frustrated, the frustration can interfere with the performance of the task. Those with high tolerance are not as easily frustrated. Frustration tolerance can be measured with the Picture-Frustration Study by Rosenzweig.

Little research has been done on this trait. It has been found that high frustration students have difficulty with trial and error situations in which they receive little guidance from the instructor. One approach is to start out by giving the learner easy problems to solve and providing lots of feedback, and then once success occurs, gradually increasing the difficulty level and reducing the guidance.

The technology involved in distance learning may be frustrating to students at first, especially when the technology does not work the way it's supposed to. By helping students to troubleshoot and solve the problem, you can reduce their frustration levels. Another tactic is to discuss at the first class how the technology works, what might go wrong, and what to do if something goes wrong. When students know what to expect or understand why something is happening, their frustration will diminish.

The delayed response involved in asynchronous communication may also lead to frustration if students are waiting a long time for feedback.

Distance learning students who succeed have been shown in some studies to be both self-confident and persistent. It is possible that they also have a high tolerance for frustration.

i just felt like i really have to repost this,it made alot of sense to me, i mean not only for me but for all the girl's out there we have to think and realize this article..

Good advices for girls

1. A man won't let go if he really loves you.

Do not hold on to someone who has let
go of you. He does not love you and
does not value having you. Believe me,
he will not let go if he really loves
you. There is another reason he is not
willing to tell.

3. Do not get hung up on your past.

Do not nag or distrust your current
boyfriend just because your ex hurt
you. Do not treat him or the
relationship the same way. Do not
compare. He will not react the same
way as your ex. Do not be worried that
your simple mistakes will cause him to
look for another girl. What happened
with your ex was not your fault. It
was not because you didn't guard him
enough or you didn't make him happy
enough.

5. Always have your own set of rules.

Set your limits on how far you'd go
for a guy. It's perfectly ok to give
and do everything as long as it's
worth it. And it's worth it if the guy
is treating you right.

7. Avoid calling your guy.

It's a guy thing. The relationship
will definitely be better if it's the
guy who's calling, not the girl. He
will get tired of you if you keep on
calling. He will lose interest and
challenge. More
so, he will get annoyed. But it's a
girl thing also that your fingers get
too itchy until you dial his number.
But avoid as much as possible. Call
only if really needed (like checking
if your suspicions are reasonable).

9. Always be the only one, no matter what.

Do not ever fall for a guy who has
another girl, be it his wife,
girlfriend, or any girl that he says
he just can't get rid of for whatever
reason. If you truly believe that he
loves you and for some reason, he
can't leave or let go of another girl,
then you are no different from any
ordinary mistress.

11. If he fooled you, end it.

Philandering once is enough. You can
never trust nor respect the person
again.

13. Do not force yourself into a relationship.

Do not get into a relationship just
because your friends are getting
impatient with your dating escapades
and the one hasn't come yet. Do not
choose who to say yes to based on
superficial things like money, looks,
cars, etc.. If you are even thinking
of these things, you have not fallen
in love yet.

15. A relationship has to have love.

Love is the only thing that will push
you to give your efforts into making
the relationship work. And believe me,
keeping a relationship requires
genuine efforts of both parties.

17. Be a good girl.

Be a good girl to attract a good guy.
Enter the relationship with sincere
intentions. Take the guy and the
relationship seriously with the plan
of spending the rest of your life with
that person (of course, this is after
you had your bit of fun in your
younger years). If you compare your
flings from your real relationships,
you will know that the latter makes
you happier and more fulfilled.

19. You will get over him

Love is over-stated. Love eventually
ends and you are free to love another.

Filipinos... ..*make me puke* (Art Bell)

As we've all come to notice, in the past few decades, Filipinos have begun
to infest the United States like some sort of disease. Their extensive
involvement in the U.S. Armed Forces is proof of the trashy kind of
qualities all filipinos tend to exhibit on a regular basis. You can see
this clearly by studying the attitudes and cultural Icons of most Filipino
Americans.

Origins of Pinoys/Pinays:

Are they really asian? Well we've come to accept the fact the filipinos
come from a part of the world known as South East Asia . But the term '
Asia ' is used in the wrong way. You may notice that contemporary Filipino
Americans try very hard to associate themselves with groups that we know as
Asian. I cannot count the number of times I have seen a ' Third World '
Filipino try to connect themselves to the chinese or Japanese people. There
is no connection and here's why. The Philippines is a Third World country.
Nothing respectable has EVER been created by Filipino people during our
entire human history. Young filipino men in America have become obsessed
with 'import racing'. They have an enormously perverted affection for
Japanese cars. It's a common phenomenon. In their minds, these Filipinos
somehow believe that they are asian and that it somehow connects them to
Japanese people and japanese cars. They often take credit for the ingenuity
of Japanese people and say how it's an ' Asian thing'. This term...'Asian
thing' derived directly from African American slang 'black thang'. 'It's a
black thang.' 'It's an asian thang.'

You can see the connection. It's even funnier that, in Japan , Filipinos
are heavily discriminated against. The only filipinos that can live
successfully in Japan are the filipino prostitutes. (Oh, come on! As if his kind don't! You keep hearing things about a sexual relationship between a student and a teacher, a PRIEST whole molests young girls and husbands and wives cheating on each other.) But that's the case for most Filipino people
no matter where they live in the world. Now we've come
down to this fact...and it is a fact.

Nothing in Filipino Culture can be seen as Asian.

They have no architectural, artistic, or cultural influence which is in ANY
way, asian. Thinking of the great countries in Asia such as Japan , Korea ,
and China there is no way you can possibly connect the Philippine Islands.
This assault by filipino americans to connect themselves with the great
peoples of North East Asia is foul and disgusting. Try visiting a young
filipino's web site too.

You'll see something called the 'Asian IRC Ring'. It has to do with the
chatrooms. The most horrible thing about this is that these TRASHY people
are trying to associate themselves with Asia again!! People in Asia don't
act like this at all. What we are seeing here is the natural Filipino in
its element with full access to technology and this is how they act! You
will consistently see this behavior over and over again.

Another interesting thing is that these 'thirdworld' people also frequent
RC chatrooms such as #chinese #japan and #asian. They must believe that
they are somehow related racially or culturally to North Asians. But it's
completely WRONG! There might have been some distant contact With China and
even less with Japan during World War II, but these people are actually
more closely related to african americans and Mexican americans.

Do the parents of these young filipinos know what's going on? Would they
accept this? I believe that they would and do. This is the natural 'Trash'
element in filipinos manifesting itself. Nothing good has ever come from
Philippines and I don't believe anything good ever will.

Recognizing your Roots (A Message to Filipinos). To all filipino people:
Please recognize your ROOTS! You come from the Third World! You country is
a disgusting and filthy place. Most people there live in poverty! Your
culture has MUCH MORE SPANISH influence than chinese, and absolutely no
JAPANESE influence whatsoever. People in Japan and China , do not act like
you. They do not constantly talk about sex and they have a MUCH HIGHER
level of RESPECT for each other. There is NO WAY that you can connect
yourself to Asia other than location.

Your culture and technological advancement does no! t even come CLOSE to
What Chinese, people have done in the past and what Japanese and Korean
people are doing now! Everything you do is distinctly filipino. You cannot
take credit for Japanese cars, video games, or Hentai! It's not an 'asian
thing' it's an 'American thing'. You have no concept of culture...no
concept of asian ideas or asian philosophy! Can you demonstrate how you use
Confucianism or Taoism in you everyday life?? You can't. And you will NEVER
be able to.

I understand that you are trying to create an identity for yourselves as
young people... but it is NOT related to Asia . Your Identity is Filipino.
That's all you are. Just Filipino. Think about what that means....



the following are the comments made by some filipinos who read the article.

COMMENT 1:

I find this funny, he is right in some ways where we, as Filipinos don't
actually have an 'Identity'. I think this is due to the confusion of our
mixed races from Hispanic, Chinese, American and Malay origins. I see it in
malls, imagine young generations wearing ski caps and ski goggles in a
tropical country, baggy low rise pants like that of African Americans
living in the Bronx of New York, not to mention endless whitening products
being sold at department stores and drug stores.

But his ignorance also blinds him from the other truth. That while we may
glorify Anime shows and Japanese Internet gaming, he is not aware that a
nameless Filipino may be responsible for some technical aspects of some
Japanese software. He is not aware of our contribution to the the society
in general .Technological advancements that may have aided post war
navigations and landing on the moon. That the antibiotic Erythromycin was
discovered by Dr. Abelardo Aguilar from Iloilo creating the brand
'Ilosone'.

Thomas Edison may have discovered the electric light bulb and the
fluorescent lighting was thought up by Nikola Tesla. But the fluorescent
lamp we use today was invented by Agapito Flores (a Cebuano named Benigno
Flores of Bantayan Island, according to the Philippine Daily inquirer), a
Filipino scientist. Americans helped then-Philippine leader Ramon Magsaysay
to develop it for worldwide commerce. That the personal physician of former
U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton is Eleanor 'Connie' Concepcion Mariano, a Filipina
doctor who was the youngest captain in the US Navy. A Filipino writer Jose
Rizal could read and write at age 2, and grew up to speak more than 20
languages, includind Latin, Greek, German, French and Chinese.

Or that a Filipino genius was responsible for the near hiatus in the
PENTAGON and White House nearly infiltrationg their closely guarded secrets
with the 'ILOVEYOU' bug. Nuisance maybe, but still one heck of a 'beautiful
mind'...not to be underestimated.

The list goes on and on, but who cares right? Certainly not Mr. Art
Bell...Boy, I'm not surprised.

COMMENT 2:

Perhaps Art Bell does not know that although we consider ourselves ASIAN
because we are strategically located in the Southeast asian region of which
our nearest neighbors are Malays, ASIA does not mean only Chinese and
Japanese race of people. Then maybe it is his connotation that 'Asia' meant
only our economically successful, paler brothers and he considers Malays
such as Thais, Malaysians, Indonesians, and ourselves as a ' Third World '
race. Then it is 'his' ignonimity that would make a civilized person of
whatever race puke. Imagine literally connecting Chinese, Koreans and
Japanese to the Philippine Islands which is archipelagos away from the
countries he has mentioned. I also wonder where he got the impression that
we aspire to be Japanese( ???). Hispanics maybe, but not the Japanese. But
even Hispanics today do not mind sharing their 'surnames' to their Asian
brothers who they have colonized for 3 centuries.

Another sad reality that although most Filipinos working overseas are
domestic helpers and prostitutes, who does he think educates the toddlers
of Hong Kong , Singapore , Taiwan and Tokyo ? Parents of these countries
rarely have time spent with their children, leaving them to their Filipino
nannies. And with regard to prostitution. Filipinos are not the only ones
working as one. I HARDLY SEE FILIPINOS STARRING IN PORN MOVIES. THERE MIGHT
BE A FEW FILIPINOS WE HAVEN'T SEEN , BUT MOST ARE FROM MR. ART BELL'S RACE.

He also mentioned that we have no concept of culture..no concept of asian
ideas or asian philosophy. How can we demonstrate Confucianism or Taoism in
a Christian nation? IS HE INFORMED THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS THE ONLY
PREDOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC NATION IN ASIA?! YOU HAVE TO USE COMMON
SENSE IN A LOT OF THINGS SOMETIMES...

COMMENT 3:

We do not need to create an identity for ourselves. We are who we are. Our
identity stems from the anonymity we live in this world. How we contribute
silently towards the progress of the world and not just one country.
Although the Filipino blood may be tainted with malice, corruption, poverty
and prostitution, it is not a perfect race... But so are the others. Maybe
Mr. Art Bell needs to think about this.

WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT MR. BELL BUT AT LEAST WE STILL HAVE VALUES. FOR ONE
THING WE DON'T PUT OUR AGING PARENTS IN NURSING HOMES BECAUSE 'THEY'RE
SIMPLY OLD AND WORTHLESS. WE DONT HAVE AS MUCH NUMBERS OF SINGLE MOTHERS
WHO GET PREGNANT IN THEIR VERY EARLY TEENS AND EVENTUALLY BECOME PARASITES
OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS.

YES...WE CAME TO YOUR COUNTRY TO WORK, TO EARN DECENT MONEY (HALF OF WHICH
BY THE WAY GOES TO TAXES BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY SOCIAL PARASITES FROM YOUR
RACE). AND BY THE WAY, MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH DON'T COME FROM
YOUR RACE... THEY'RE ACTUALLY IMMIGRANTS TOO. AND THOSE EDUCATED ONES DO
NOT ACT LIKE YOU DO, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY'VE REALLY BEEN WELL
EDUCATED..AFTER ALL THAT'S SAID... WHO IS THE IGNORANT ONCE AGAIN?!

The move comes as U.S. rice futures hit a record high amid global food inflation, although one rice expert said the warehouse chains may be reacting less to any shortages than to stockpiling by restaurants and small stores.

Sam's Club followed Costco Wholesale, which put limits in at least some Bay Area stores on bulk rice purchases.

Sam's Club declined to say if this is first time it has restricted sales of bulk foods. The chain is limiting customers to four 20-pound bags of imported jasmine, basmati and long-grain white rice.

Costco declined to discuss the issue yesterday. Officials at several Costcos and Wal-Marts in San Diego County said they had not seen any disruptions in rice supplies.

The warehouse chains cater heavily to small businesses, including restaurants. Sam's Club spokeswoman Kristy Reed said she could not comment on whether the problem was caused by short supplies or by customers stocking up in anticipation of higher prices.

USA Rice Federation spokesman David Coia said there is no rice shortage in the United States.

“It's possible that small restaurants and bodega-type neighborhood stores may be purchasing rice in larger quantities than they do typically to avoid higher prices,” Coia said.

U.S. rice futures soared to an all-time high yesterday as investors bet that surging world demand will continue to pressure already-dwindling stockpiles. Rice for the most actively traded July contract jumped 62 cents to $24.82 per 100 pounds on the Chicago Board of Trade.

Relentless demand from developing countries and poor crop yields have pushed rice prices up 70 percent this year, raising concerns of shortages.

The steep increases have followed similar jumps in the price of wheat, corn and soybeans that have added to Americans' growing grocery bill and led to violent food riots in poor countries including Haiti, Senegal and Pakistan.

U.S. production of long grain and medium grain rice is strong, and the global crop is larger than ever, said Nathan Childs, an economist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But with some of the principal exporters of the higher-priced rices, such as India and Vietnam, shunning foreign sales to control prices at home and the cost of food generally going up, the price of rice has been climbing to new heights.

Jonah has withdrawn into herself. She is reserved and shows her feelings only at times of great anger, extreme passion, or tremendous stress. Jonah is an introvert. She makes decisions based on logic, therefore she is rarely impulsive. She doesn't find any need for expressing her emotions. In fact, she probably sees this emotional expression as an unnecessary waste of time. She has a hard time relating to an extreme extrovert, although it is common for her to be attracted to one. Many people do not understand Jonah; it is difficult for them to really know how Jonah feels. Jonah enjoys being alone, and probably prefers working alone. Working with her hands is a pleasure.

Jonah's basic nature is to look out for herself first. Although she can and does feel emotions, perhaps as deeply as anyone, she just almost always harbors them inside.

The first time someone angers Jonah, she probably will not say anything to that person at that time. However, she will mentally keep track of everything this person does wrong to her until she cannot hold her emotions inside any longer. Then; Boom! Jonah will cloud up and rain all over them. And she will never regret telling someone off, because she knew what she was saying the entire time. She won't impulsively tell someone off.

Emotional stories will not sway Jonah. She thinks totally with judgment, first considering every situation by the effect it will have on her.

Jonah needs space and time alone. She will be much more efficient if given a job alone, rather than being surrounded by people.

People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Jonah doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.

In the sales profession, this self-consciousness is called "call reluctance". They take the word "no" as a personal criticism. Therefore, there is an internal struggle when performing this type of work. Although this person may be a great salesperson, she still feels insecurity. She will perform better if someone else is with her because the fear of ridicule from her peers is far greater than the fear of ridicule from her clients. Many times this type of person becomes a sales trainer, because when she is training, she doesn't have to put herself in a position of being told "no" as often as the salesmen do.

Jonah is a methodical thinker, therefore she is able to build things and come up with new ideas. In an argument, she often loses to rapid thinking people because she is thinking thirty minutes later about what she should have said. These people often are very booksmart, but can be out-gunned in a rapid fire verbal debate.

She may learn new ideas at a slower pace than other "less detailed" people, but once she gets it, she can handle repetition. Some people hate jobs with too much repetition, she can handle it better than most.
