You have completed a unit in your textbook with your students and you want to know how much of what was presented in the unit has actually been absorbed. Can the student use the grammar structures correctly? Does he know the new vocabulary? Can he use the new reading comprehension skills effectively?
It's time for a test. An unseen? A fill-in-the-blank vocabulary and/or grammar exercise? Write a composition? All of the above? These are all legitimate ways of checking to see how much the student has retained - or at least how much he can remember from an evening of serious studying for your exam. I would like to suggest a dramatic alternative.
Many of our textbooks suggest role-play and creative writing as activities to reinforce and practice what has been learned. However, these activities can also easily be used to demonstrate what has been learned. Instead of telling the students that they will be tested on the vocabulary in the boxes on page x and y, as well as the grammar points in the "language" sections of the unit, create a role-play assignment: it will naturally include using the new grammar structures and you can require that a certain number of new vocabulary items be included in the role-play. In addition, require that the content of the skit be based on one of the passages of the unit.
The nature of this kind of assignment greatly depends on the genre of texts in the unit. Skits, dialogues, and 2 or 3 minute speeches by supposed experts in the field are all possible frameworks for this alternative assessment technique.
Examples of end-of-unit activites
For example, in one unit in an 8th grade textbook, there are passages about an orienteering competition, a letterboxing game and a story about sailors on a journey having great difficulties navigating. The language focus is the differentiation between the present simple and present progressive. You assign your students to prepare one of the following:
In both assignments, students must include at least 10 new vocabulary items in their presentation. All writing must be done in class. One lesson is devoted to writing, one to practicing and one or two lessons (as needed) to the presentations.
Students are provided with a checklist and an assessment rubric before writing their task. They may choose to work with a partner or alone (for the news report only).
Checklist and Rubric
An example of a checklist might be:
Here's a sample rubric for assessing the presentation, including suggested points. (You may choose to divide the points differently-perhaps you may choose to devote some of the points to the process of preparing the skit, and not only to the presentation. The important thing is that you and the students know in advance how the points for the work are divided.)
You included at least 10 vocabulary words
Your presentation was at least 2 minutes long
fewer than 10 vocabulary words
Your presentation was less than 2 minutes
fewer than 5 vocabulary words
Your presentation was less than 1 minute
Student (Peer) assessment:
Before the presentations, all of the students prepare the following grid: (with enough rows for all of the presentations.
During the presentations, the students in the audience fill in their grids with the name of each presenter and the vocabulary words they hear the presenter use.
Teacher grading: Prepare enough copies of the rubric for each presenter, and circle the appropriate number of points in each category.
How does this type of assessment compare with a traditional paper and pencil test?
When they are given a task, such as the one described above, they first, generally, re-read the passage and then look over the vocabulary list with a partner to see which words they can put into their presentation. They argue a bit about the content of the presentation. They start writing, correcting each other, asking another team or me to decide who is right. They read their creation over and over, timing themselves to make sure it is long enough. When they are satisfied with what they have written, they start practicing. They tell each other to speak louder or slower or to pronounce the word differently. There is a lot of laughing and clowning around. In the process, the vocabulary and grammar structures are repeated in context dozens of times.
When I choose to use a dramatic presentation to assess mastery, my biggest challenge is to create a task which requires the use of language structures I have taught. Once that challenge is met, I know that I will be able to tell whether the students have understood the passage and whether they have mastered the new vocabulary by their creations.
During the presentations, students are alert, focused and a little nervous until they've had their turn. Still, they seem to like the challenge of listening for the vocabulary words and they try to out-do each other with entertaining skits. Cheating is not an issue. There is a lot of laughing and clapping.
It is true that this process is more time consuming than a paper test, but only by two or three lessons. Since I believe that the students get so much more out of the experience, I don't mind the extra time spent.
It is also true that evaluating a dramatic presentation is not always clear cut. The teacher may worry about being consistent when awarding points. This is also the case, however, when evaluating compositions and full answers to questions on a test. The solution is clear rubrics in both cases.
Assessing through drama has advantages and disadvantages just as traditional tests do. I mix types of evaluation during the school year and certainly don't advocate using this type of assessment exclusively. However, three factors make this method extremely attractive to me:

This letter was submitted on Friday, December 21, 2018.
Dear Argus Editor, Regarding last weeks issue of the Argus, a article entitled 'Theater Calls For Diversity' really caught my eye. While I agree without question that diversity hires in any setting should be mandatory, I take extreme umbrage at the theater students petition that states, "We believe it is imperative that our department recognize that theater in the context of the U.S. is a white supremacist act…". I have worked in collegiate, amateur and professional theater for over 38 years and if any workplace was conducive to inclusion and diversity, it was in the those theaters. I was introduced to assorted LGBT theater staff at the age of 17 as an intern at the Coconut Grove Playhouse in Miami and was always made to feel welcome. In 1995,I worked Off-Broadway on 'All In The Timing', the biggest hit of that year in NYC. The cast, crew and production staff were a widely diverse group and we all worked together on a common goal; to put on the best show possible.At no time in my career, did I encounter, or hear ANY White Supremacist rhetoric, propaganda or secret agendas. On the contrary, I have encountered more freedom of speech and welcoming of diverse individuals in the theater community than any other place I have been employed.The students petition, while made in the best interest, should be changed to eliminate such a vile and caustic statement and rewritten to clarify what might be really wrong in the theater department at the university.

Tell the White House & Congress that you OPPOSE Trump's Announcement to
Grind Refugee Resettlement To a Halt & Bar Refugees from Certain Countries
President Donald Trump has announced that the U.S. government will stop resettling refugees from certain countries; pause the entire refugee resettlement program for 120 days; preference religious minorities; and reduce the number of refugees we welcome at the very time when they are most in need of safety. These announcements fly in the face of our best values of compassion, hospitality, and welcome. With more than 65 million forcibly displaced in the world–the worst in our global history–it is more important than ever to take action by condemning this new policy.
Barring refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen from resettlement and narrowly preferencing religious minorities is tantamount to a Muslim ban. And by reducing refugee admissions from 110,000 to 50,000, Trump is going back on America's promise to refugees and abdicating America's leadership role on human rights. Halting resettlement for 120 days will grind refugee processing to a halt. Each step of the security check process is time sensitive, so a pause will force refugees who were set to arrive in the United States soon to instead wait months and even years to go through fingerprinting, interviews, health screenings, and multiple security checks all over again, all while their lives are in danger.
These announcements are gut-wrenching for our community members who are waiting to be reunited with a sister, brother, parent or child, and for refugees overseas with no other options for safety than to be resettled in the U.S. We cannot discriminate against refugees for how they pray or where they are from. Refugees are the most thoroughly vetted immigrants in the United States, undergoing biographic and biometric checks, medical screenings, forensic document testing, and in-person interviews. It is critical that President Trump and all Members of Congress hear their constituents decry these announcements and declare their support for refugees from all over the world.

Sample Script: "I'm your constituent from [City, State], and I support refugee resettlement in the U.S. I am strongly opposed to President Trump's announcements to stop the resettlement of refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen; pause the refugee resettlement program entirely; preference religious minorities; and reduce the number of refugees we welcome. This discriminatory announcement is morally reprehensible, runs counter to who we are as a nation, and does not reflect the welcome for refugees I see in my community every day. I urge you to do everything in your power to see this announcement reversed."
Please also share a personal story about why refugee resettlement is important to you, your community, etc. Let them know the specific ways that refugees contribute and are welcomed into your community.

I think doctors in general get rebates/gifts/bonuses or whatever for prescribing certain machines or drugs. I had one doctor, an eye surgeon, admit that he likes the perks he gets from the pharmaceutical companies and that's why our health system is so expensive.

Jacksonville, NC is a friendly military town perched along the beautiful Crystal Coast. Home to Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station, Jacksonville draws in a number of military residents, government workers, and their young families. In fact, Jacksonville is the youngest city in the United States with an average age of 22.8! With its vibrant energy, affordability, and access to a number of outdoor recreation activities, it's no wonder Jacksonville is also one of the fastest-growing cities in North Carolina.
Because Jacksonville provides a temporary home for many government workers, young military families, and beach-goers of all types, it can be difficult to decide on the right tile in Jacksonville, NC. If you're in the process of building or remodeling a home or looking to replace your own tile, take a look at our recommendations below. We've explored a few of the most common types of residences and matched them with the perfect options for tile in Jacksonville NC.
Tile for Jacksonville Rental Homes: While you may want to splurge on fine marble tiles for your own home, rentals call for more durable, less expensive tiling options. To attract young renters without breaking the bank, opt for subway tile, one of the trendiest and most affordable tiles in Jacksonville. Subway tile provides a crisp and clean slate for rental bathrooms which matches vintage and contemporary aesthetics alike. Go for a classic white look with light-colored grout or a more industrial, masculine style with dark gray grout.
Tile for Starter Homes: If you've just moved into your first family home and you want a bathroom remodel that will please you and future homebuyers, you can't go wrong with natural stone tiles. They're durable, long-lasting, and timeless. Consider neutral colors and large-size tiles, which are easy to clean and make the bathroom appear even more spacious for the perfect first impression.
Tile for Jacksonville Coastal Getaways: Whether you're updating your own cottage on the Crystal Coast or remodeling a vacation rental, the best Jacksonville tile is beach-friendly. Whereas ceramic tile can crack and become susceptible to water damage, porcelain tile is incredibly water-resistant and can be repaired in case of damage over time. Be sure to ask for textured tiles, as smooth tiles can become slip-hazards when wet. For a beautiful seaside-inspired look, add reflective glass tiles or even a mosaic tile accent wall.
Tile for Small Businesses in Jacksonville: If you're considering opening your own spa, medical office, or shop in bustling Jacksonville, NC, you may want wood look tiles. These tiles bring inviting warmth and rustic style to your space, without the upkeep and cost of traditional hardwood floors. Even better, they're bacteria-resistant, stain-resitant, and water-resistant – ideal for easy cleaning and heavy foot traffic.
Dealing with a situation we haven't covered here? At Crystal Bath & Shower Company, we'll help you discover the best options for tile in Jacksonville, NC. Head to our showroom in Wilmington, NC (or let our local Jacksonville sales rep come to you) to get started on your next tile project. Contact us now for an appointment.

We have donated over $165,000 to individuals and families in the local heart community. Please help us continue our mission.
Welcome to the world of Team WearRed! WearRedorgoNaked Inc., is an accredited 501(c)3 non-profit organization who strives every day to raise awareness for CHD. We also try to provide time for our Heart Warriors, and their families to spend time together during our fundraisers and events. Our goal is to use our events and fundraisers to benefit LOCAL families who have been affected by CHD. While putting these events together, we are able to bring families together, and spread awareness about CHD to so many. Our Board of Directors is built with Heart Moms. Heart Dads, Heart Children, Heart Siblings, and Heart Warriors, so we understand first hand what it's like to go through what is easily one of the hardest things anyone could ever imagine. CHD is the most common birth defect, but most people do not know about it, and most have only heard about it if they are directly connected to it.
When a baby is diagnosed with CHD, either in utero or after birth it is quite shocking and leads families down a road they never imagined. Families are in great need of information and resources to help them navigate the road ahead. From equipment, finances, moral support, to just knowing you are not alone in this journey and that there are so many resources available. The world itself is often referred to as, "the heart community." No one should have to face this road of CHD alone. Team WearRed would like to lead the way in helping people navigate this road. We are also always asking people to spread the word that our organization is always looking for families that may be in need of assistance.
Always with Love,
Team Wear Red
Interested in getting involved? We are always looking for volunteers to help support our mission. E-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Co-founder, president, Maven Cosmetics LLC
Co-founder, president
Co-founder, CEO
Maven Cosmetics LLC
In the heady days of 2000, MBAs with six-figure salaries, like Noreen Abbasi and Sandi Hwang Adam, could quit their consulting jobs to work at the makeup counter in pursuit of a dream. Ms. Adam signed on at Sephora, and Ms. Abbasi at Nordstrom.
The idea was to get a firsthand look at what it takes to get lipsticks on the shelves. These two self-described "makeup junkies" had looked for -- but rarely found -- cosmetics that worked with Asian and Arab skin tones.
Ms. Abbasi and Ms. Adam wanted to fill a market void by formulating products specifically for "women of all colors." Other manufacturers have typically expanded the shades in existing lines or focused narrowly, on African-American skin tones, for example.
With undergraduate science degrees, they were certain they were up to the technical challenges. The two launched Chicago-based Maven Cosmetics LLC in stores in 2002, and their cosmetics line has already become one of the beauty industry's must-wears.
This year, revenues are expected to top $1 million, mostly from sales online and in small spas. This fall, they opened their first counter, in Marshall Field's Water Tower store, and Sephora will add the line next spring. The pair estimates 2004 revenues at $2 million to $4 million.
"I don't hear about a lot of companies that offer products to women of color," says Meredith Barnett, an editor at Lucky magazine, the New York-based shopping and fashion bible. "Plus, their packaging is beautiful, and their colors are really great."
Says Ms. Adam: "People now see us as a recognizable boutique brand. Next, we'll become a national brand."

A few years ago, Seattle decided to raise their minimum wage laws. Supporters cheered saying it would do much to help the city's least-paid workers. But now according to a new study, it turns out raising the minimum wage is having some unfortunate unintended consequences for the very people it was intended to help.
Among the study's findings is that Seattle business owners are reducing the hours for low-wage workers to cope with the increasing business costs caused by the minimum wage increase. As a result, some Seattle workers are taking home $125 less a month in income.
Now, we all know that better paying jobs are important to achieving the American Dream. That's why it is so critically important that our economy offer jobs that allow the young, minorities, and all of us across this country, the ability to gain skills and experiences that lead to better, more fulfilling jobs. There is dignity in all work that creates value and that is why it is important to acknowledge how policies like a minimum wage are preventing individuals from accessing that first step up the economic ladder.
So while activists and labor unions across big cities continue to march in in the streets under the banner "Fight for 15" and media outlets editorialize in support of raising the minimum wage, there are plenty of signs to be cautious about minimum wage hikes. For example, The LIBRE Institute found that minimum wage hikes reduce employment, particularly for the young and workers with lower levels of education – two categories that are particularly pronounced in the Latino community.
Unfortunately, some surveys have found a wide margin of Hispanics support raising the minimum wage, particularly as a number of high profile politicians have ramped up their efforts reaching out directly to the Latino community.
However, when Hispanics are told that raising the minimum wage will lead to job loss, support for the proposal goes down substantially. This makes sense. After all, the vast majority of Hispanics in the United States want to work and provide for their families. Many are first generation Americans or immigrants who left behind their loved ones in search of economic opportunities here in the United States.
This is precisely why Latinos should be skeptical when politicians call for hikes to the minimum wage. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Increasing the minimum wage inevitably leads to job losses and reductions in working hours for those trying to climb the economic ladder of success. These are concerns that are especially important for the Hispanic community, which faces an unemployment rate that is higher than the national average.
Instead of touting policies that provide short-term political gains but hurt economic mobility for the most vulnerable in our communities, lawmakers should look for ways to expand opportunity for everyone. The government can do this by making it easier for businesses to grow and expand, and create new and better-paying jobs.
We know from years of research that the free enterprise system and the free market have done more to lift billions out of poverty than any government mandate or economic redistribution scheme, like increases to the minimum wage.
The city of Seattle is providing the Latino community a cautionary tale of what happens when populist ideas take hold. As the "Fight for 15" continues its march in cities and towns across the country, the Latino community should stand firm to demand jobs - not short-term gimmicks.
Jorge Lima is the Executive Director for The LIBRE Initiative, an organization that espouses free market principles.

TOPEKA — A presidential election commission that will be headed in part by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach should be "decommissioned," leaders of a poor people's campaign told a packed house at a large downtown Topeka church Monday night.
"Voter suppression is real, voter fraud is a lie," the Rev. William Barber said, referring to Kobach's drive to end what he says is fraudulent voting in Kansas elections. In years of looking, Kobach's campaign has turned up few fraudulent voters in Kansas elections.
Kobach is a vice chairman of President Donald Trump's election integrity commission. Kobach also is a Republican candidate running in the Kansas gubernatorial race.
Since 2010, 22 states have passed voter suppression laws, Barber said, which negatively impact blacks, Hispanics and poor whites.
Voter suppression laws are desecrating the graves of those who added to voter rights, including civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and others, Barber said.
Voter fraud is not a problem, but voter suppression laws are a deep problem, said the Rev. Liz Theoharis, co-chairwoman of the Poor People's Campaign.
The First United Methodist church sanctuary held approximately 750 people during the program Monday, Yasmari Rodriguez said. She is a co-organizer of the Kansas People Agenda.
Barber came to Topeka as part of a nationwide call-to-action campaign about working for equality and justice and helping the poor.
Barber is helping lead the "New Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for a Moral Revival," which is described as a "grassroots effort that draws upon the history, vision and unfinished work" of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Barber, 53, is pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church in Goldsboro, N.C., and president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in North Carolina.
The Monday event was sponsored by the Kansas Interfaith Action.
Kansas Interfaith Action officials describe their group as "a statewide, multi-faith issue-advocacy organization that 'puts faith into action' by educating, engaging and advocating on behalf of people of faith and the public regarding critical social, economic and climate justice issues."
Barber sparked national headlines in July when he said praying for the president was a form of "theological malpractice that borders on heresy."
Barber's well-publicized comments in July stemmed from a photo showing evangelical Christian leaders laying hands on Trump and praying for the president in the Oval Office.
"When you can p-r-a-y for a president and others while they p-r-e-y, preying on the most vulnerable," he told MSNBC, "you're violating the sacred principles of religion."
Barber told the Topeka Capital-Journal that in the comments that gained national attention, he quoted several scripture passages "and made the point that praying for any president without critiquing their policies that hurt the least of these and 'preys' on the least of these borders on heresy."
Barber denied saying praying for Trump was heresy.
Barber's comments in July regarding those who prayed for Trump were met with swift opposition from the North Carolina Republican Party, which responded with a news release condemning what it called the "hateful actions" of Barber.
Earlier this week, while on his national call-to-action tour in New Mexico, Barber responded to comments made by Trump regarding the deadly protests Aug. 13 in Charlottesville, Va., when the president said there was "blame on both sides" of the violence, referring to the white supremacists and counter-protesters.
The Albuquerque Journal quoted Barber as saying the president "was justifying white supremacy."
"We must make a moral choice," Barber told the Journal. "We can take the righteous road of repair … or we can, as we did half a century ago, follow those who would lead our nation down the road of denial and retreat."
Barber also said the nation had come to a crossroads, according to an article in the Raleigh (N.C.) News & Observer.
Barber said in July he particularly was concerned over Republican efforts to overturn the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as Obamacare. He contended "thousands will die" if the health care act was overturned.

While I was in Japan, I had planned to meet another friend. She came from Kyoto for me! (Her parents live in or close to Tokyo.) We met at Tobu department store in Ikebukuro, and we went to Hibi-an (日々庵) as my request, because I really wanted to eat Okonomi-yaki, i.e., Japanese savory pancake.
Unlike other restaurants where I know, the staff cooks for you.
Tada~~! Okonomi-yaki. Topping is Bonito flake.
My friend ordered a combo, small Okonomi-yaki and Yakisoba (fried noodles).
And, extra picture of the restaurant entrance.

The Siren Saids… Why care? My View NOT SAFE FOR WORK
May 6, 2013 Leave a comment
Recall The Odyssey? The story where Odysseus helped the crew of his ship escape the call of the monsters? He had the crew plug their ears as he was tied to the mast, so he could here the song?
How he begged to be untied so he could swim to them? If the crew would have done so Odysseus we know was not untied and on the ship went.
What you may not know is this in Greek Myth the foul things die badly in some Hera kills them others, they kill themselves, after Odysseus escapes. The Greeks liked a good bloody killing.
This is my blog so its my myth.
In my Myth the Siren(s) is a bad Girl
You can see what happens in my myth to bad girls.
My question is who got our Bad girl
To sing for well a crony of Mayor John Dickert?
Was it Greg Helding
Who might have an interest in our Bad Girl in a interesting way
Even in my own Myth why do we even care
Like Tinker Bell in Peter Pan if we quit believingmaybe she goes away or must resort to a Vibrator, what do you think? and why care?
The size she may need after all she is old and well used right?
As much as I hear folks bitch about the thing from …. why care. Why read what she or any other IMHO flake/Monster Mythical thing has to say? Are you that lacking in self esteem?
Take the time spent worrying and use it to Fight Mayor John Dickert!

The Cedar Shoals Jaguars 2017-18 boys basketball season came to an end after a 39-35 defeat to Hiram in the first round of the Georgia 5A state tournament.
It marked the end of the first losing season in five seasons and only the second losing season under head coach L'Dreco Thomas in his eight seasons. It was also the first time in four seasons the Jaguars did not advance to at least the semifinals.
Coming off a 2017 Class 5A runner-up finish the Jaguars played one of the more difficult schedules in the state even with an influx of sophomores headlining the roster. Cedar Shoals finished 10-18 this season. The highlight of the season was a 65-64 home victory over region foe Buford who had won the previous five meetings including the state championship game last year.
The youthful group posted a 3-8 record in games decided by five points or less, with three losses coming directly on buzzer beaters.
Rising juniors Quincy Canty and Tyler Johnson will be counted on heavily next season as the leaders of the team. Canty led the team in scoring and rebounding this season while Johnson was second in scoring while showing flashes of what he can be in the future.

DESPITE seeing their three-match winning streak ended by a six-run defeat at Colwall, Redditch Entaco reached the halfway point of the Worcestershire League Division One campaign with everything to play for in the fight for promotion.
The Kingfishers remain fifth, 29 points behind new leaders Cookley, after the narrow setback in Herefordshire, where Russell Southwick's side will return to on Saturday to face Eastnor.
Colwall skipper Ben Wheeler hit a match-winning 104 including 13 fours and two sixes as the home side scored 237 all out off 50 overs.
Waqas Ali (3-30), Noman Mohammed (2-35) and Ghulam Moyhuddin (2-36) were the pick of the bowlers.
In reply, openers Tom Field and Greg Chinn departed in quick succession but a partnership of 104 between Southwick (68) and Brandon Weal (57) put Redditch in control.
The middle order continued the good work through Moyhuddin (21), Rizwan Mohammed (24) and Marlon Lokenath (26), but Colwall bowled a tight line through Jon Gooch (4-47) and Michael Gooch (3-38) and the innings ran out of steam as Redditch finished on 231-9 off 50 overs.
REDDITCH 2nds continued their chase of Division One 2nd XI leaders Feckenham by beating visitors Colwall by six wickets.
Colwall were bowled out for just 114 as Olly Mason took 5-25 and in reply second placed Redditch took just 26.3 overs to record an excellent win as Mason completed a good day with 31, ably supported by Abdul Jabbar who hit a breezy 24 not out.
The 2nds host Eastnor on Saturday.
The 3rds slipped to a two-wicket defeat at Old Hill in Division Five. Redditch were restricted to 177-8 off 45 overs as Dan Protherough led the way with 36.
In reply Old Hill were in all sorts of trouble thanks to an excellent spell of bowling of 4-40 from Warren Bisp, but a match-winning 99 not out from Ali Ahmed saw Old Hill home off just 34 overs.
On Saturday the 3rds and 4ths face Oldswinford & Stourbridge Social away and home respectively.

Product description
Dramatis personae
Princess, daughter of the king.
The maid of honor.
Scene One
On the bed sleeping Prince. In the twilight of the room. Jester in anticipation of waking Prince sings.
Loud alarm goes off. Buffoon grabs him and hides behind the headboard. Prince, without opening his eyes, trying to shut it down, but can not find. He sits down on the bed.
Hey, servants, is there anyone alive?
What a lazy, my God!
Well, hey, give the term
I studied you, couch potatoes!
Showing Jester.
Ah, at last, at least one
I heard.
I have all of your royal state:
And friend and brother and godfather, and Matchmaker.
What do you say?
Case rubbish -
Now you and I moms and nannies.
You're either crazy or drunk,
Yes, if all you okay?
Palace your empty my pocket,
Let's play hide and seek!
So ... what, then, in fact,
You do not make jokes about you?
Uh, the situation barely
I was able to explain to you.
Oh no, now I see clearly:
I decided to play you.
But know this: to joke with me is dangerous,
Velu stricter punishment.
Where is my advisor, where the waiters,
Where is my cook, where my servant?
I do not dare to say -
I neck all the same way.
Where journalists and reporters,
Teachers and tutors,
Where tailors and fashion designers,
Where military officer?
(To the side).
It is a small royal blood,
Yes, it is a pity that the brains of cows.
Who is going to fry my chops
And the whole day to give advice?
Who I bake pies
And clever cook it?
Decrees divulge
And before going to bed to read me stories?
Perhaps too the same time
For you clean the bed ...
And ordered the palace flies
Scratching behind your left ear?
Look, what zeal,
What courage and impudence,
In a similar tone to speak
With the head of state himself.
To swept away the wave your arrogance,
To me, it is true not find a cure.
Head full of holes, but there,
Yes, I do not see the state!
(Lowering his voice.)
Since your father is deceased,
Though the doctor tried,
Gone, like you're not worthy
Veli, in truth.
Anyone tired of your stupidity,
Anyone tired of your laziness.

pheromones for - Pheromones And Career Advancement
Pheromones And Career Advancement
All experts agree that you must take control of your career to move forward. That means you must look for ways to find challenging work, progress in your field, or increase your visibility.
Pheromones are carried in the air and are created by everyone's body. When wearing clothes, your temperature rises, creating a "smell" that will evaporate from your body via the highest opening in your clothing, typically at the neck of your shirts. This pheromone signal is then carried to others, who will ultimately look at your face, as this is where your signal left you from. For this reason, many people notice another's face right off the bat before their other senses take over and take in other attributes of the other person.
All the old jokes about being able to "bottle" sex appeal turn out to have a basis in reality. Recently scientists discovered how to isolate and concentrate the chemical-hormonal substances -- called
-- that create sexual attraction in humans. It's now possible to wear
and put out their invisible sexy signals at will.
Introduction Have you ever met someone who seemed to have 'that certain something', who 'radiated confidence' or 'oozed sexiness'? What would it be like if you suddenly found yourself more attractive and appealing to be with, getting more positive attention from everyone you interact with every day? How much would you enjoy that kind of positive change in your life?
How to get started Experimentation is the best way to find out what works best for you. Everyone's personal chemistry is different, and your mileage, as they say, will vary. Fortunately there are a number of samplers and beginner kits available and that is where you want to begin.
How they affect you One of the more interesting and unexpected effects will be the change in how you feel after you start using the products. Because the pheromones affect you at the same time and the same way they are affecting others, and you will find yourself feeling more attractive and appealing - not a bad side effect to have going into a social situation.
Bottom Line
Do they work and are they worth it? Absolutely!!!

The two compounds that are most widely recognized as pheromones are androstadienone (AND) and estratetraenol (EST). AND is a derivative of testosterone and EST is a relative of estrogen. Scientists have shown that the chemicals change brain patterns as detected by EEGs, functional MRIs, and PET scans, and induce mood changes. That evidence is consistent with what
would do.
Attending job fairs is a great way to connect with potential employers, but they attract hundreds of people who are competing for the same jobs. Eric was desperate for a job. He heard about
helping in such situations. He left his name with different people and each time he turned in his registration form he put some pheromones on the form. In the end he got to choose the job he wanted.
I once worked for a company that was quick to fire their sales representatives if their sales performance was not to their liking. The company president called me in to find out why my sales were not progressing. At the time, they did not know that I was starting a new business and was just maintaining my sales accounts. I knew my job was in jeopardy. Before walking into his office, I applied my pheromone mix. This mix was a product that included both female and male pheromones and a special fragrance containing 18 scents. To my astonishment I did not lose my job and I walked out of the office with everyone satisfied about my performance.
Then take your newly anointed self on a test drive and notice what reactions you get and how you feel. Remember, the greatest aphrodisiac on earth is confidence -- so using a little pheromone to boost it is an excellent way to go.
By the numbers Here is how pheromones will work for you: Let's assume that you are a woman that guys might rate 7 on their attractiveness scale. What would it be like for you if you are suddenly perceived as a 8 or 8.5? What if you were a 5 and could suddenly be perceived as a 6.5 or 7?
The effect of
has been very well studied. They cause an instinctual, almost automatic sexual response, which scientists call a "releaser" effect. Each person has a unique "odor print" that's just as individual as fingerprints, created by compounds released from the sebaceous glands, sweat glands and other glands. Among the chemicals and compounds released are pheromones, which drift into our companion's nasal passage and stimulate specialized receptors. Scientists are still studying the receptors to determine whether the "vomeronasal organ" is devoted to exclusively to sensing
, or whether pheromone receptors are part of a more complex system along with olfactory receptors in the nasal passage.
Rob worked for a company that was downsizing and he feared he would be one of the ones that would get laid off. He wore
at work and watched people with more seniority get laid off while he kept his job.
means an overall improvement in your social
life, dating, touching, intimacy, and yes... sex!

Who uses them, who should use them By now you have figured out that
are not just for dating and sexual attraction. You may already be aware that psychological studies have shown that attractive people are more successful in all areas of life.
Pheromone signals are constantly being traded back and forth among individuals, whether it is between two women, two men or a man and a woman. We are not as receptive to them as other animals seem to be because we have come to rely on other senses and factors to maintain our livelihood. But, if you find yourself attracted to someone who is not your "type", you can bet that subconsciously your nose has caught onto his or her scent and become quite fascinated.
That's right, although pheromone effects are more pronounced with members of the opposite sex, they do have a non-sexual effect on members of the same sex as well. The net effect is that others will perceive you as being more attractive and pleasant to be around in a number of ways.
Or, if you are a guy that is always 'just friends' with women - what would it be like to suddenly be perceived as sexier - someone they just felt compelled to hold, to touch and kiss? Maybe you already come across to the ladies as sexually aggressive - maybe too much so. Won't it be nice to be able to radiate the trust, comfort, and warmth that lets them feel safer around you?
The pheromone signals that we can give off can be categorized into a couple categories: fear, aggression and sexual receptiveness. When a person is scared, the chemical change in their pheromone signal can be so strong as to be read by animals, thus the saying that wild animals can smell your fear. Pheromone signals that trigger aggression in others can cause someone to feel aggressive toward another person for an unknown reason; this pheromone signal is generally passed between males who are attracted to the same female. Sexual receptiveness pheromone signals are those that females give off to entice and let males know that they are available sexually.
Nexus Pheromones delivers these essential chemical-hormonal elements to subtly yet unmistakably communicate your masculine power. Simply apply Nexus
onto your pulse points or even blend it with your aftershave then let the fun begin.
Will you see a dramatic improvement in your love life? Probably, but that is largely up to you. But, you will have lots of opportunities to improve it using these products!
go wrong - overdose? Will it make a very sexy person sexier? There are situations where a little is good and a lot is not as good. (Happens with regular fragrances, too, doesn't it?) If you are already an 'alpha' male or female, adding pheromones to your chemistry may intimidate some members of the opposite sex or bring out aggressivenss in the members of the same sex as as they unconsciously react to the challenge you present.
I once worked with a woman named Stephanie (not her real name) who was very plain looking. She did not have a college education and her work performance was average. The difference was she gave off an air of confidence that made her seem more credible in management's eyes. Stephanie worked her way up the ladder, leaving many of us who were more qualified in the dust. I asked her secret and she replied "pheromones!"
Synthesized versions of these compounds can be even more potent and effective than one's natural "odor print" mainly because Americans do so much to obliterate any trace of natural odor and sweat. In today's society, our showering, deodorizing, cologne-applying and almost sterile approach to cleanliness keep our natural pheromones from doing their job.
What are pheromones and how do they affect others? Think of them as fragrances that are designed not only to smell good, but also to affect people in a subtle and unconscious way - the same way you would be affected by being close to a very attractive person.
And since the products mimic natural body chemistry, these reactions are quite natural and unconscious on the part of those people who are affected. Some of the people you meet will be more 'tuned into' the
. I have found that a lot of younger women in particular are affected and attracted to the products. Nice to get that kind of attention, isn't it?
With Nexus Pheromones, it all happens instantly, naturally and without her knowing anything except that she is attracted to you. You'll experience more attention, more conversation and more sex, guaranteed!
For best results I always recommend that people follow the manufacturer's pheromone usage instructions. Applying more is not better and in fact will give you the poorest results! The pheromone quality should be high enough to achieve what you want without being consciously detected. A money back guarantee suggests that the product is high quality and that the manufacturer stands behind the product.
Anyone who is in sales, or has a lot of public contact will benefit from using
. And, the advantages to someone who is dating and socializing are obvious. Or, you might be thinking that you want to rekindle the flame and add some excitement to your existing relationships.
Pheromones are safe, easy to use, and can give you the confidence you need to change or enhance your career. It's the secret weapon in your pocket ready for those times when you need it the most.
Can you imagine the difference this would make in your life? It might range from dramatic to subtle to not at all, depending on the particular person and interaction. But you know you will feel more confident, interesting and attractive and have lots more opportunities and choices in social situations.
Why Nexus Pheromones is the #1 formula today? Nexus
products are DOUBLE STRENGTH concentrations of human
, not weak dilutions offered by some imitators. Nexus Pheromones is packaged in 1 ounce bottles, compared to the "industry standard" of 10ML! You get more than twice as much!
Interviewing for a new job can be frustrating because you need to find a way to set yourself above other candidates competing for the same job. Interviewers make subjective hiring decisions rather than objective ones because they see so many candidates with similar qualifications. Pheromones may subconsciously encourage the interviewer to hire you only because it is the one extra factor that makes you stand out!
Experiment and have some fun. Try using the same product for several days in a row and pay attention to the reactions of people around you. Try it at the recommended application level, then vary it - add a little extra, don't use quite as much. Then try another product for a while. And, most good pheromone suppliers will have lots of information and advice in on-line forums and discussion groups.
Alison interviewed for a position within her company. Just before her appointment, she applied
. However, once the interview process began, she realized that she was not qualified for the job, but she was awarded the position anyway. From there she received two more promotions within a year.
What they won't do - a reality check So, will people be drawn to you like a magnet from across the room, or crowd around you just to bask in your presence? Maybe, but not likely.
Will every member of the opposite sex be hopelessly drawn to you? Not necessarily - some people just can't handle being around a very attractive person. Their reaction may be to 'freeze or flee' because you are just too hot to handle. Overall, a nice problem to have, don't you think?
that are created generally peak around 18 to 20 years of age and begin to wane at approximately 40 years of age. The signals that 18 year olds give off are so strong that people of all age groups are generally drawn to look at them. However, there have been studies that show direct correlation to pheromones and the physiological reactions that they cause to our sense of smell. The better a person's sense of smell, the stronger his or her reaction will be to a pheromone signal that they receive. Because of this correlation and the fact that people around the age of 40 have a lower pheromone signal or pheromone reaction could be tied to the fact that age affects one's sense of smell. And as the sense of smell decreases and becomes less prominent, so too does the reaction to pheromone signals that may be sensed.
Humans produce and react to pheromones, so much so that studies have even shown that exposure to men's pheromones can affect a woman's ovulation cycle, meaning, her readiness and interest in having intercourse.
are substances that can be smelled and not seen. There have even been studies to suggest
can be just as effective if they are not smelled.
have always carried messages to individuals of the same species in the animal kingdom, and humans are no different. But as we have come to rely on our other senses, our reliance on pheromone signals has been greatly diminished, but our subconscious can still pick up on it, we just don't always realize it.
Most people that are familiar with pheromones think that their sole function is to attract the opposite sex. However based on our experience
also can help improve an individual's credibility factor. Studies show that attractive and/or confident people are more successful in their careers and make more money. The more credible you are the greater the chance to achieve a sale or a promotion. Sometimes very competent people lose out on opportunities because they may be subconsciously perceived as lacking the ability to give or perform the task.
Renee saw money wasted all around her where she worked and was determined to show the company executives how to save the company money. After it was obvious that no one was taking her seriously, she decided to apply pheromones to her reports. The execs that previously disregarded her recommendations, started to take more time reading her reports. From that point on they sought out Renee for her opinions.
That is what you can expect when you are using pheromones. But, are you afraid you need a degree in chemistry to understand these products? Well, you don't, because here is the non-chemist's guide to personal chemistry. I will explain all you need to know so that you can have fun finding the magic formula that will take your social interactions to the next level - right now!
The pheromone solution to achieve this same success is to wear a high quality product that contains both male and female pheromones. This has a two-prong approach to increase acceptance by both sexes. The male pheromone will subconsciously suggest to other men that you are a winner and stand out from the crowd. The female pheromone will help boost the male wearer's psyche and help make him more confident. The theory is the old adage, "behind every successful man is a woman and vice versa, behind every successful woman is a man." Female wearers will of course have a similar reaction.
That's why the idea of concentrated pheromones makes so much sense. The trick is finding a good source of genuine
, not just diluted or even fake preparations making claims. There are a few good products out there that actually are what they say and have an excellent reputation for creating more arousal, more interest, more attraction and more willingness in the opposite sex. One we recommend is Nexus
, made from 100% genuine human pheromone. If you're shopping around, insist on a money-back guarantee and note whether the product is pure concentrate vs. a cologne or alcohol preparation that simply contains some tiny proportion of hormone.
Pheromones may be an excellent tool for advancing your career. During these trying times we need to avail ourselves of every tool that may help improve success. At some point you may have to convince management that your idea is the best way to go. You may need that extra factor so that you stand out from your peers, have the best chance for advancement, or find yourself fighting to save your job.
The kind of pheromone products you will decide to buy depends on the signals you want to send. There are many formulations on the market, that can generally can be categorized based on their desired effect. Based on this, they fall into these groups: Sexual stimulants and attractants (make you more sexy) Warm and fuzzy (make you more approachable, huggable, people want to get close to you) Man of the house (dominant but not necessarily sexual) Trust in a bottle (create trust and rapport with members of either sex)

Conventional, Playful "Love"
"But, as every writer knows, there can be magic in rules and conventions."
This sentence appeared in the June 21st issue of The New Yorker, in an article explaining the process of that magazine's selection of the twenty best writers under the age of 40. This may seem like a familiar mention, seeing that said list appeared, coincidentally, as I wrote about Wells Tower's Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned. After reading through that list, and catching up on some short stories written by some of those talented individuals, I wanted to read a novel by one of them, and I came across Nicole Krauss's The History Of Love. In the case, coincidence turned into intention, which then revealed itself as a pleasant mistake. A close friend of mine, with similar literary tastes, had been gushing over the fiction of Karen Russell, a woman who also appears on The New Yorker's list. Embarrassingly, I got the two names mixed up, and decided to read The History Of Love by Nicole Krauss, subliminally thinking that it was her, and not Karen Russell, whom my friend had recommended. However, after reading excerpts of Russell's work, it's obvious that both women are incredibly talented. In addition to being referred to as "genre-bending," I found that Krauss's 2005 novel was best described in terms of the magic in rules and conventions.
The History Of Love weaves together the tales of Alma Singer, a precocious teenager who's trying to explain to herself the death of her father, as well as her mother's blatant unhappiness. Her mother is translating a work (The History Of Love), and Alma ventures that the man who commissioned the translation may be a suitable match for her. Various family members are introduced, either in passing or with sizable parts, especially her brother, affectionately known as Bird, whose coping mechanisms eventually morph into a believe that he is a "lamed vovnik," a spiritual figure in the Jewish religion. Alma narrates her own parts of the novel, and Krauss does an admirable job of creating a teenage character who's equal parts regular teenager and wise beyond her years. Either character trait could easily have fallen into a sort of grandiose sketch, but, in keeping with the idea of "magical conventions," Alma is both heightened and realistic. She takes an interest in wilderness survival, since it was a passion of her father. This hobby is expressed both earnestly and with a tint of sadness, since the death of her father hovers over most of Alma's activities. However, it becomes a deft blend of obsessive list-making (a prevalent occurrence in the book), intelligence, and a realization of her still being a child.
"I kept Edible Plants and Flowers in North America under my bed in a backpack that also had my father's Swiss Army knife, a flashlight, a plastic tarp, a compass, a box of granola bars, two bags of peanut M&M's, three cans of tuna, a can opener, Band-Aids, a snakebite kit, a change of underwear, and a New York City map...
...For Chanukah I asked for a sleeping bag. The one my mother got me had pink hearts on it, was made of flannel, and would keep me alive for about five seconds in subzero temperatures before I died of hypothermia (Krauss 44-45)."
The other main character, and probably one of the most sympathetic characters in recent fiction, is an aging former writer and locksmith named Leo Gursky. He used to be in love in Poland before moving to America, and eventually lost the woman to unforeseen circumstances. This love led to the writing of a book that he long assumed had been lost, not to mention a son that grew up to become a writer, never knowing who his true biological father was. Leo's book makes its way to Chile, published under the name Zvi Litvinoff, and he eventually encounters his son at a book signing, both wishing to reach out to him, but also oddly comfortable in his usual invisible state. Leo occasionally draws attention to himself with mild accidents in public, and his every action is, at least subliminally, a way of coping with the loss of his former love. Again, much like the characterization of Alma (Alma and Leo are connected in much more profound ways), Leo is utterly convincing as a part of the novel. He's an aching combination of imminent death and past despair, without being the least bit melodramatic or overstated about his mindset. In this passage, he recalls watching his son.
"Every time Isaac moved, I mapped out the route between my place and his. The first time he was eleven. I used to stand across the street from his school in Brooklyn and wait for him, just to catch a glimpse, maybe, if I was lucky, hear the sound of his voice. One day I waited as usual, but he didn't come out. I thought maybe he'd gotten into trouble and had to stay late. It got dark, they turned off the lights, and still he didn't come. I went back the next day, and again I waited, and again he didn't come. That night I imagined the worst, I couldn't sleep, imagining all the awful things that might have happened to my child (Krauss 162)."
Given these introductions and sketches, two things should be clear. One, I'm obviously not doing the entire novel justice. At the heart of the book is a slight mystery, but one that should be semi-obvious, based on what I've written; it's even spelled out on the book's back cover synopsis. While the statute of limitations on a spoiler is long gone, part of The History Of Love's benefits are seeing the problems unfold. Two, someone unfamiliar with the book would be right in assuming, again based on my summaries, that it's one of the more depressing books written in recent years. Granted, large sections of the book are either saddening, or hinted with either symbolic or literal depression: Leo and Alma's mother are two perfect examples. Even the flashback scenes are glossed with references to the Holocaust.
"Even during the years when I hid in the forest, in trees, holes, and cellars, with death breathing down my neck, I still never thought about the truth: that I was going to die. Only after my heart attack, when the stones of the wall that separated me from childhood began to crumble at last, did the fear of death return to me. And it was just as frightening as it ever was (Krauss 129)."
However, and there's really no way to write this without being either cliched or making The History Of Love sound like a combination of a thousand other novels, in spite of the melancholy that permeates the characters, there's a definite sense of hope, at least in part because the reader can guess what the final outcome of the book will be. The fun, however, is the journey. Krauss's prose is extremely meticulous, but never borders on either mundane or careless. And, as she showed recently in her latest short story "The Young Painters," she can balance a straightforward narrative that also serves as its own mystery, in the sense of leaving the conclusion unforeseeable until the end. Her writing in this novel is an excellent mix, combining both contemporary settings and historical narratives, as well as sections that are composed exclusively as lists, and an ending broken up into careful parts, working as a stunning buildup to a satisfying, emotional ending. Much like the aforementioned Wells Tower, her plots sometimes take a backseat to structure, and while I feel it would be a stretch to call her experimental, she obviously knows what she's doing, and her voice is strong enough to break parts of the novel up aesthetically without having it be a distraction. The History Of Love is an excellent work, but, in the best of ways, I feel that her best writings are ahead of her. I feel that, despite the unanimous praise for this novel upon its publication, readers will look back at this one as a fine compliment to a more stunning bibliography.
