Yogita's PC upgrades

We were gaming the other night when Yogi noticed that her game was lagging. This was odd as I was not and we are on the same network. This made it easy to figure out something was not right about her pc. I then listened and I heard a strange noise coming from her gpus fans. Then I noticed that one fan was spinning very slowly due to a builld up of dust. Fortunately the other fan was spinning at normal speeds. So I cleaned the fan and the heat heat sink below it. However, I had to clean it again and I noticed that the lubricant in the fan bearing was drying out. However, I could not remove the cooling shroud so that I could get at the fan motors. I think once our move is done I will take one more crack at it. If I fail to remove that screw then I will have to dump the entire GPU, or figure some other way to salvage the card. 
So right now my back up white pc which George is using I want to replace it something more compact  powerful but not expensive. Maybe I will get Yogita a totally new rig early spring. My own rig I will just upgrade storage and replace case fans.My system is so nice especially for the uses we have for it. The old black pc I really want to overclock it and put a water coolor on the cpu. These are all minor things. I want more storage as I can place large amounts of good tv shows on it. If we are in India we might have download caps. So being able to have a very large library of movies and tv shows is a nice option to have. 
Ok time to get this work part of the day started.

Teaching my goodness

It is a shame that so many people today are so arrogant and full of themselves. I met my future possible employers and I was shocked by the arrogance that not only teachers show, but also employers. The result is that you have teachers leaving left and right. Then you have people on both sides of the equation spreading falsehoods about one another. The result? A loss of peace. My employer told me that "I can not sleep well". My current employer has told me the same thing time and time again. English teachers I meet are not feeling stable or happy. Many of them are quick to complain to each other about others. What a loss of peace! 
Teaching a language as in teaching anything requires humility. When you have a failing result, for example, students who study for years can not make basic sentences, yet they can ace grammar tests, there must be a problem. You have to sit down and make some changes. 
The main issue with ESL today is that it is based on making a good profit financially. As such there will always be issues. Every industry on Earth suffers from this issue. This short-term viewpoint is to make as much money as you can. Money today isn't even based on precious metals anymore. It is based on people's faith in the current system of things, which is very close to ending. What a waste of time. The Bible tells of a time when people will be resurrected and they will require education. Which means the ability to teach will be very important. I think of the teachers in the bible. They were not arrogant. They were all humble, meek, and slow to anger. We need to follow Jesus's example.
