I decided to blog my mom’s work. It is called Constitution State Corporate Federal Credit Union. I am not really sure what she does there, because she probably told me and I forgot=]. So, as you can guess, I asked them what they do at their work. I have gotten a response:

I work for Constitution Corporate Federal Credit Union here in
Wallingford.  We are a “clearinghouse bank” for Credit Unions.  What that means is that we take in their deposits, verify them and send all their checks or files of their checks onto the Federal Reserve so that they can get their money faster. On top of that we handle their foreign items, deposits of their savings bonds, return items, stop payments, photo requests, and monthly provide them with statements.  Our company also offers them many other services such as wiring money for them, investments, ACH, and also offer all their members accounts on line so that the customers can access their account when they need to.  We have credit unions in CT, VA, MI, and MA. We have about 65 people who work for us. Our main office is the one here in Wallingford and we also have another office in
Auburn, MA and our website designers have offices in various states as well.

 To get to their site, you need to work there so I couldn’t go on it or give a link/picture.

I read a blog called spiderblog. I could not comment it, but if I could I would have left this comment:

spiderblog: I really enjoyed your blog on spiders. I liked the blog on leaf curler spiders because it was very interesting. I used to think spiders were boring, but I think you’ve changed my mind. I considered a blog on monkeys, but I figured since I knew enough about them, I wanted to try something else. Spiders were the first thing that popped into my head, so i picked that. I learned about leaf-curler spiders which was very interesting. I don’t usually like spiders, but I liked that particular blog.

The leaf curling spider (phonognatha graeffei), Family Tetragnathidae) is ubiquitous in the Sydney area. They’re everywhere, and you can easily pick them out in the undergrowth by their pretty distinctive webs. They build a typical orb web but with a twist- literally. On the upper part of the web, you can usually see a dried leaf that’s been curled in to a retreat, and the spider usually pokes its legs outside the leaf

the quote from spiderblog’s blog is really interesting to me and it made me want to read his whole post on them. It was the most important paragraph on the blog

I am listening to the mayor:

my car is a greenish grey

 well, I think you look at what is happening in the world. there will be more competition , alot of manufacturing jobs will be gone. smaller companies will be more popular later. You’ve got to be effective communicators to be able to explain your ideas be a product for you to make a living. Population change in more people 62 and over than teens. Avalanche of older population looking at 600 fewer students just in our town increase pressures to provide leadership and skills to provide services with health-care being an issue. Increased immigration and we’ll be competing with other countries that may have better work ethic and come here to succeed and make a success of working here and there’s a real pressure of being an effective person. I think technology is always a role and gets overemphasized. It may not be standard later in the future. There will bemore employment but it will be perhaps different types. we’ll have more small and medium sized corporation instead of big companies. food is going to be an increasing issue. drinking water is a big issue for the future. huge popular of older people. who will take care for them? this country is not prepared for our future.

have to be able to deal with other people is extremely important. Technology skills will be important. we need people with skills to design and draft. how to take an idea and turn it into a product that can be sold. language will be important. steel company in our town has  companies in Mexico and Ireland and are looking for Russia.

 I think the heart is critical, puts the energy into things. it’s the enthusiasm . heart and soul is who you are.

chances are what you are using today will change 5 to 10 years from now.

what are thoughts regarding content on children’s ability to learn adapt and grow.         if u go out to play a game and a group of your friends say lets play football, and only 1 person knows the rules, who’s going to dominant in deciding how ur gonna play? it’s gonna be the person who knows the rules that dominates.

 (will info learn in school be useless)I don’ t think so. those principals how you interpret language of content always going  back to previous knowledge.read wat u do for birds and I saved a little baby bird. A couple of days later I opened the box to feed the bird and it flew out and away . It turned into a magical animal and it went to live in a tree in my yard. everyday it would come to me for the next 2 weeks.

(most important sub.)    cant tell u if 1 sub. more important than another. each sub. has its own special nature and they all link to one another.

(most important take away message) a kangaroo was put in a zoo and the built a 10 foot fence. The next morning they found it had went over the 10 foot fence. The next day they built a 12 foot fence and it was over the fence the next day Then a 13 foot fence and it still was past the fence in the morining.Then they built a 30 foot fence and then they went there in the morning and it still was over the fence.  Someone asked the kangaroo how long he will go until he cant get over and he sed oh a 100 feet, as long as they keep forgetting to lock the gate.

(do you think technology is used too much) I get concerned wen using it in elementary. you need information in your head. maybe overemphasized sometimes. computers answer will only be as good as what the teacher put in it. sometimes we lose sight of this. You’ve got to have knowledge in your head
