Syria-Lebanon Road Targeted in Israeli Strike
Syria-Lebanon Road Targeted in Israeli Strike
In its offensive against Lebanon-based Hezbollah, Israel has bombed the main highway north of Beirut, which leads to Syria. The Israeli military says the attacks were meant to stop the flow of weapons from Syria to Hezbollah. Melissa Block talks with Imad Moustapha, Syria's ambassador to the United States.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
We're joined by Syria's ambassador to the United States, Imad Moustapha. Thanks for being with us.
Mr. IMAD MOUSTAPHA (Syrian Ambassador to the United States): You're welcome.
BLOCK: I'd like to start by talking about Israel's bombing of the highway north of Beirut, the road that links Lebanon and Syria. Israel has said that the bombing was to stop the flow of weapons from Syria to Hezbollah. What's your response?
Mr. MOUSTAPHA: Well, my response is that this is a brazen lie. The true reason Israel has bombarded the bridges connecting Lebanon to Syria on the highway is that since the start of this crisis, hundreds of thousands of refugees, civilians, have fled into Syria to find a safe haven there. Israel has not only done this in the crossing points between Lebanon and Syria but in Lebanon itself, where the people are stranded in Southern Lebanon unable to flee away. And whenever they are trying to escape they are hit by the Israeli jet planes.
BLOCK: But Mr. Ambassador the United States, Israel and many other countries say there's no question that Hezbollah has been and is armed by Syria as well as Iran, and that Iranian weapons flow through Syria to Hezbollah. Do you deny that?
Mr. MOUSTAPHA: Look, if you look today at the situation in Lebanon, who is killing who? The Israelis are massacring the Lebanese and the United States administration is expediting what they call intelligent bombs to Israel so that Israel can use to bombard more and more of the Lebanese infrastructure, destroy Lebanon and kill hundreds of Lebanese civilians. We believe that Hezbollah does not need any logistical support from Syria. Hezbollah is capable of defending Lebanon and the Lebanese people against the Israeli aggression. This is on one hand.
On the other hand, as of day one of this conflict, Syria has called on the international community to end the hostilities and called for an immediate cease-fire so that the Lebanese lives can be spared, while the United States has opposed this.
So let this be very clear, who is trying to save lives in the Middle East and who is participating in the atrocious crimes that are taking place in Lebanon right now while we are talking?
BLOCK: But let me get back to the question about arms to Hezbollah, if you don't mind. Are you denying that any weapons come from Syria to Hezbollah?
Mr. MOUSTAPHA: I said we do not provide logistical aid or assistance to Hezbollah. They don't need this from us. They never asked us to do this. They are capable of having their own sources of armament, and they know how to defend themselves against the Israeli aggression.
BLOCK: The State Department spokesman, Sean McCormack, yesterday said that this would be a moment for Syria to step up and, in his words, play a positive role in the Middle East, but thus far they have chosen not to, in his words.
Mr. MOUSTAPHA: This is incredible, amazing and preposterous. While we are calling for peace and for an end of hostilities and while the U.S. is actually supporting Israel in doing what it is doing to the Lebanese people, they are claiming that we are being negative, and they think they are being positive? I think let us allow the American public opinion to judge. Since this crisis started, we have been offering medical aid to the Lebanese, humane assistance. We have opened our borders to the Lebanese civilian population. While we are doing this, the United States is instigating Israel to commit more and more crimes in Lebanon. And we are playing a negative role while the U.S. thinks it is playing a positive role?
BLOCK: The U.S. demand has been for some time that Syria needs to stop its support for terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. Shut down their offices in Damascus and then we can talk. Do you accept that precondition?
Mr. MOUSTAPHA: Absolutely not, because we believe that Hamas and Hezbollah have a just cause. They are defending their people against an Israeli occupation. Previous U.S. administrations used to engage with Syria, to talk with Syria, and we used to use our influence and leverage on various parties in the Middle East to reach a compromise or a settlement. This administration is ideologically entrenched in its positions towards Syria and they use pretext not to talk to Syria.
As I have said, if the United States think that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, Syria thinks that the leaders of Israel are terrorists, because they are killing our civilian population.
BLOCK: Would there be some scenario that you can imagine where Israeli troops push further into Lebanon and Syrian troops decide to intervene?
Mr. MOUSTAPHA: All options are open. However, as I have said, we do not want to further escalate the situation. Syria really wants to deescalate what's happening and we really would like to, as I have said, be a part of the solution. However, if the Israelis attack us, then we have to defend ourselves.
BLOCK: Ambassador Moustapha, thanks for talking with us.
Mr. MOUSTAPHA: You are welcome.
BLOCK: Imad Moustapha is Syria's ambassador to the United States.

The intent here is not to add more controversy in the world with this subject, but to discuss the pros and cons of cropping dogs' ears and docking their tails.
I have never had an opinion one way or another, simply because without ever doing any research on the subjects, I thought it was the norm for certain breeds of dogs.
Also, being truthful for a moment, I have found that dog's tails are dangerous things to have around coffee tables filled with "ceramic stuff."
Putting all kidding aside, I would just like to fill you in on some of the reasons not to crop or dock.
Cropping or docking is considered unnecessary cosmetic surgery.
It is not medically beneficial for the dog and can cause pain and infection.
In the United Sates more than 130,000 puppies go through this procedure every year.
Historically speaking removal of certain parts of a dog's anatomy has been going on for hundreds of years.
A few of the reasons do seem far fetched such as taxes in some places were based on the length of your dogs' tails. Short tails meant fewer taxes.
In some areas tails were cut off as a rabies preventative.
Farmers were known to cut the dewclaws off their dogs to prevent injury while hunting or fighting.
Declaws are actually not claws, but are a 5th toe.
Some breeds only have them on their front paws, other do not have any and others have them on their back paws.
The dewclaws on the back paws have no use, but the dewclaws on the front paws of some breeds are capable of muscular control.
Cropping and Docking are illegal in many parts of the world and in England it has been banned for at least 100 years. However, in the United States and some other countries, it is an accepted practice with certain breeds of dog.
The American Kennel Club accepts the procedures on certain breeds as a standard practice.
There are about 70 different breeds that have their tails docked. Puppies are usually between 2 to 5 days old when it is done without the benefit of anesthesia or any pain medication. At that time the "dewclaws" are removed, also.
Ear cropping, however is done using anesthesia, when the puppy is about 9 to 14 weeks old. Up to as much of half the ear can be removed at that time.
After the surgery the ears are taped and splinted for weeks to months until they stand erect.
What is the purpose of a tail besides wagging and knocking things over?
A dog's tail improves its balance. Dogs use their tails in much the same way we use our arms for balance.
Try walking a on a beam or curb without using your arms to balance yourself. The tail helps shift the dog's weight to provide proper balance.
A wagging tail is also useful as it helps to stretch and flex the "dura" which is part of the complex spinal column.
Removing the tail also alters the hind end of a dog; it alters muscle tone and changes the way a dog sits. A dog with a docked tail sits in a crouched position, while a dog with a tail sits in a more relaxed position.
The most important thing to consider is pain. We do not like pain and neither do dogs.
Docking the tail (which is really surgery) can cause scar tissue to form and scar tissue can shrink.
What does shrinking scar tissue do?
It can pull or tug on the nerves left in the remaining part of the tail which are connected to the "dura" which is a protective membrane around the spine and brain.
This can cause pain in the tail area or a feeling of pins and needles (like when your hand or foot falls asleep.)
This can drive a dog near crazy.
This pain or tingling can have a serious effect on your dog's behavior. Many a dog has been euthanized or given away because of behavior problems that may have been caused by this problem and no one had figured it out.
The solution here, if your vet is aware of this particular problem, is the owner will have to stretch the tail area on a regular basis to help alleviate the sensations.
There is also one other possibility and that is the dog may be suffering from "phantom pain."
I have had that experience myself after having a tooth pulled.
For many months afterward, the spot where the tooth had been, hurt for no reason at all.
It is hard to imagine how many dogs have suffered real or imaginary pain due to the fact that we do not understand their vocabulary or they ours.
Just for a moment, think how a headache or a neck ache affects your personality. You act differently, you may become grouchy, you may even snarl at someone, but you can explain why you are acting the way you are.
How does a dog tell you?
Scat tissue can also cause problems with cropped ears. The tension of the scar tissue shrinking can cause a serious headache.
This too, can cause behavior problems, whining and misery to both the dog and the owner.
People who practice the art of acupuncture say that the removal of the tail and the cropping of the ears creates an imbalance within the body of the dog.
In the ear alone there are more than 200 acupuncture points that control many areas of the dog's body.
When some of those areas are missing, the possibility of internal problems within the dog can occur.
As I mentioned in the beginning of this article, my intent was not to start a controversy over docking or cropping, but just to make people aware that they are "fooling with Mother Nature."
People who under go cosmetic surgery can complain when things go wrong or they hurt and they get the attention that they need.
Unless someone is really attuned to a dog's needs and is familiar with the problems of scar tissue, think of the number of dogs that might be in pain and no one knows.

Regretfully, professional moving companies can certainly not transport clients in the moving truck for liability factors. You may perhaps wish to set up a ride by using a good friend or perhaps a cab solution on move day.
Yes. Our qualified movers and moving vehicles are conditioned so as to move during rain, sleet, or even snow. These guys arrive equipped with supplies to keep your belongings safe and secure from the elements. On the other hand, so as to help keep costs lower, we advise that you shovel, rake, or otherwise clear away the access ways in preparing for their arrival.

I hear about Geelong constantly at home because my husband is a supporter of the Geelong Football Club (the greatest Australian Rules Football team of all apparently). I half expected the whole town to be painted white and blue (it isn't).
While passing through on the way down to Anglesea, we headed straight to the waterfront to the Geelong Boat House to grab some lunch, which is located in a 100 year old barge right on the water and opened in 2012. It has all the fish and chip options you would expect. Blue grenadier, whiting, calamari rings, lemon pepper squid, dim sims, big boxes of freshly fried chips with lots of salt. It filled the spot
The weather was perfect not just for fish and chips, but for a hot chocolate too. Even though it was the middle of summer in Australia, it was cold out, so cold, and windy, and raining, and even though we were sitting in a covered area, because it was covered in clear plastic you still felt like you were outside, in the cold. My little hot chocolate appeared in a take away cup and was … sad. Did I say it was sad? It tasted like water with something in it. It did smell like chocolate, it smelt ok actually. So I closed my eyes, used the water from the thin paper cup to warm my hands and took a few breaths in and then threw it out.
The rain thankfully stopped just as we finished up so we took a quick walk along the waterfront. The sidewalk is lined with all sort of interesting wooden figures, 103 in all, that feature iconic Geelong characters painted by local artist Jan Mitchell. The wooden pylons used were recovered from the Yarra Street Pier which was destroyed by fire in the 1980's and later removed. The pylons represent characters that played a part in Geelong's history, from the original indigenous inhabitants to more contemporary characters. These include a handful of swimmers representing the Western Beach Sea Bathing Company, some pretty bathing beauties from the 1930s, captain of the steamship S.S. Edina, glamorous musical comedy start Carrie Moor born in 1882 and many many others. We only saw a handful of them but the full walk along the waterfront to visit them all takes about 2 hours and seems like it would be well worth the time (on a warmer day).
Verdict: Awful hot chocolate, good fish and chips, but save as much time as you can to walk along the waterfront and take selfies with the ballards. On a sunny day the upper deck the Geelong Boat House looks like it would be a great place to enjoy lunch. Geelong Boat House, Geelong, Australia

Today's post comes to us from Alberto Frigo who led the Data Future: Possibilities and Dream breakout session at the 2014 Quantified Self Europe Conference.

Evidence for and Model to Explain Unusual Consciousness Phenomena
Douglas Kinney, Applied Physics Laboratory,
John Hopkins University ([email protected])
It is clear that unusual consciousness phenomena such as near-death out-of-body experiences (OBEs), reincarnation remembrances of children, and strange psychophysiological phenomena such as the placebo effect and stigmata cannot be explained with existing scientific theories and concepts. They provide strong evidence for the existence of mechanisms not included within our current mainstream-scientific worldview and theories. I hypothesize that the "mechanism" through which these strange phenomena can occur is the human subtle-energy system with its multiple, interpenetrating subtle dimensional bodies.
First consider the scope of the evidence. Cumulative evidence for the reality of NDEs and children who remember their immediate past lives has been well documented in JSE publications and books. Recently, Edward and Emily Kelly with their coauthors produced a huge book, Irreducible Minds, in which they document the full spectrum of other unusual mind-body phenomena. To their treatment, I would add the amazing descriptions from thousands of between-lives regression cases of souls (nonphysical consciousness) in a spiritual realm that are almost in complete alignment with rich NDE accounts. I consider the cumulative accounts from both these sources provide us with a preliminary outline of this realms sociology.
As the Kellys emphasize in their book, mainstream psychology and medical sciences with their mechanistic view of life deny the reality of these phenomena. They write that an important step in the expansion of science is the development of models explaining how these unusual phenomena can be occurring. In discussion stigmata, Emily Kelly quotes two researchers about the specific processes required to create this phenomena:
· Are . . . a mystery of the profoundest sort, with all sorts of implications for the so-called mind-body problem
· [require a] "kind of superintelligence"
In my research for possible explanations, I found that the human subtle-energy system with its multiple, interpenetrating subtle-energy bodies (see Figure 1) provides the elements that can explain all of the unusual phenomena.
In this model, the etheric subtle body operates similar to a "computer program" directing the development, and maintenance of the physical body plus its response to external and internal stimuli. It is affected (programmed) by human emotions and beliefs present in the second and third bodies respectively—providing answers to the "how" of unusual psychophysical (mind-body) phenomenon such as stigmata.
This distributed, nonphysical model of consciousness (mind) is how all the near-death OBEs of our human consciousness can occur in both earth and nonearthly realms. The concept of a nonphysical, holographic distributed mind can also explain the accounts of the donor's memories and personality traits being transplanted in some organ-replacement surgeries.
Lastly, I want to mention the strange phenomenon that Walter Semkiw has discovered in the similarity of physical appearances and personality traits between present-day individuals and their past-life humans. The human subtle body model with its spiritual-plane bodies provides the input to explain this and many other anomalies.

Wedding Chair Covers
These days, no matter what the event, the is always a place the slipcovers, or chair covers can come in handy. It doesn't matter whether it is an office function or a private function, sometimes the ideas solution is chair covers, something that hides the chair but provides the view pleasure and seat ability required.
Today, many functions, weather it be office seminar and workshop, or wedding, requires a massive amount of chairs. Each of these chairs must match the other chairs in the set to provide a uniform appearance and if it doesn't, then the affect is lost. To solve this situation, many companies have turned to chair covers that hide the chairs tatty appearance and present an overall uniform design, not matter what the actual condition of the chair appears to be. By applying chair covers, these companies are saving a vast amount of money and still being able to present an opulent appearance to those who attend.
In the personal environment, this could not be truer as many couples planning their marriage rely on chairs rented or on loan from churches, service clubs, or business organizations that normally do not meet with the brides choice of colours. To solve this problem, and spend the least amount of money, many of today's brides are depending on slipcovers, or chair covers, or wedding chair covers, to meet their needs.
Today's slip covers come in an assortment of different fabrics ranging from soft silks to opulent satins with a vast array of colour sashes to meet the wedding style, colours, and patterns. These simple slip covers and add elegance to any wedding or business conference, meeting, or workshop. Along with these decorator chair covers comes an assortment of rental items that can make that wedding a special event including colour sashes, sheer lighting backdrops, craft invitational, accessories, and wedding favours, some of which will bounce the imagination.
Today, these chair covers can be rented, or purchased, to match a suitable array of colours and palettes that match the plan for the couples wedding's event, or the office environment. These choices in chair covers, can range in price from very little to quite expensive depending on the pattern and style chosen to enhance the occasion. Some occasions are quite formal while others, although they appear casual in nature, evolve into situations that grow and have a personality of their own. These wonderful chair covers bring to life what could normally not be afforded by the blushing bride, but in turn, can be afforded and easily enveloped into the everyday corporate life presented to the masses.
Once again, a few simple changes to the cover of the chair, makes the most out of the life that is offered, be it wedding or corporate! A few hiding details in fabric and ribbons effectively cover all the parts a keep appearances in tact, so that all the days will be spent happily. Therefore, the next time you are planning a special event, why not plan to use chair covers that match your décor, instead of purchasing special chairs that you will have no use for afterwards.

The brave-heart will take the brideDVD - 2007? | Hindi
From the critics

Very unrealistic. Second part of the movie is better than the first.
DDLJ is a classic. This film was unbelievably romantic, funny, and unlike a lot of Bollywood films, fast-paced. It didn't drag out the plot and Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are the ultimate pairing. You'll definitely fall in love with this must-see!
DDLJ is one of those timeless films that doesn't wear off with multiple viewings -- and the third longest-running film in the history of movies, worldwide. An excellent date film, and a great intro to Bollywood. In other words: what everyone else said before me
Beloved Bollywood Classic. The sentiment may be lost on non-Indians but this film is the longest running Hindi title in the history of Bollywood, you can still catch it in select local cinemas today, even though it debuted at the box office more than two decades ago.
DDLJ is a landmark Bollywood film for several reasons:
1) It still plays (as of this writing) at the Maratha Mandir Theatre in Mumbai once a day, where it has been shown ever since it was originally released on October, 1995. This makes it the longest first run ever of any film in the world.
2) It supports a love marriage over against a marriage arranged by the parents.
3) The lovers are two NRIs (non-resident Indians), a novel notion at the time for Bollywood subject matter.
4) The intended groom in the arranged marriage, a native of India, is characterized as a person with loose morals and without integrity. A person from the Indian homeland is shown to be unworthy of an NRI bride, while a rascal NRI who behaves properly when necessary is deemed worthy.
5) Amrish Puri, the actor who plays the bride's father, doesn't portray a bad guy for a change. This prolific actor is well known for his roles as a villain, most noticeably to Western audiences in the role of Mola Ram in Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984).
6) It is the first film of Aditya Chopra, son of Yash Chopra, a major Bollywood film producer and director.
7) The stars Shah Rukh Khan (SRK, as Raj) and Kajol (as Simran), with this film, cemented their on-screen personas as arguably the best Bollywood screen couple.
8) In the subordinate roles of the friends of Raj, two of them became Bollywood directors in their own right: Karan Johar and Arjun Sablok. Karan Johar directed SRK and Kajol in the popular film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), as well as wrote the film.
9) Knowing and seeing this film will clue viewers in on all the references and in-jokes about DDLJ that are found in many, many Bollywood films made since 1995.
Despite all that, the film is a typical Bollywood product: a musical, more fantasy than realistic, over three hours long, and steeped in Indian traditions. Its production values do not measure up to Hollywood standards of the day (or now). It is not a great film (see "Dil Chahta Hai", "Black", "3 Idiots", "Kahaani", "Mardaani", or "PK" for that), but it is a most likable and entertaining film.
This is a must-see for those seeking to round out their understanding of Bollywood cinema. As noted above, it remains a huge classic hit in India even now. Yes, Indian films have their own characteristics that we westerns must make the effort to grasp and appreciate. It's worth it--if this is your cup of tea!

Selected by the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art, Cornelia Parker will observe the 2017 General Election and produce a unique work of art in response to her experience of the campaign. Her final artwork will join the Parliamentary Art Collection later in 2017.
Alison McGovern MP, Chair of the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art, said:
"I am delighted that my Committee has chosen Cornelia Parker as Parliament's official 2017 election artist. She's the first woman artist to take on this role and it'll be really exciting to see how her ideas for this artwork develop over the campaign period."
Cornelia Parker is represented in many international public collections, including Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the UK Government Art Collection. A former Turner Prize nominee, Parker was elected a Royal Academician in 2009, and won the Apollo Magazine Artist of the Year Award in 2016. She has longstanding interest in political subjects and is well placed to create a work of art to reflect upon the General Election of 2017.

Cornelia Parker's solo exhibition at Frith Street Gallery, Golden Square & Soho Square runs until 21 June.

News note
Reality of Gaza destruction haunts families and children amid ceasefire
JERUSALEM, 7 August 2014 – As the three-day ceasefire in Gaza draws to a close, families are struggling to cope with the aftermath of 28 days of violence and destruction that has left an estimated 65,000 people homeless.
"Of the last three conflicts in Gaza, this has been the longest, deadliest and most destructive," said June Kunugi, UNICEF Representative in the State of Palestine. "Its human and material toll is beyond words."
More than one fourth of Gaza's residents were displaced during the latest conflict. The three-day ceasefire allowed families to visit their homes, but many had to return to collective shelters when the full extent of the damage to their houses became apparent.
Overcrowding at UN-run shelters, many of them schools, is making it difficult to provide these families with basic needs and clean conditions to prevent the spread of diseases. Diarrhoea and skin diseases among children are on the rise.
Basic services are severely disrupted. Access to water is constrained for 1.5 million people and the lack of electricity is affecting water distribution, sanitation and health services.
Around 400,000 children are showing symptoms of distress, including bed wetting, clinging to parents and nightmares, and need psychosocial support. Half of Gaza's 1.8 million people are children under the age of 18.
From the very first days of the current escalation, UNICEF-supported emergency psychosocial teams have been deployed to provide initial psychosocial support to affected children, reaching 1,870 children across the Gaza Strip so far.
To improve conditions in collective shelters, UNICEF, in partnership with the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, distributed 1,500 adult hygiene kits, 1,000 baby hygiene kits, 1,388 jerry cans, and 4,000 blankets. Plans are under way to provide 24,000 clothing items for children and women.
"The uphill struggle to heal children's physical and psychological wounds and restore Gaza's demolished infrastructure is a gargantuan task," Kunugi said.
According to UNICEF's latest verified figures, at least 429 children were killed in the last month as a result of airstrikes and shelling, an indication of the devastating toll that the latest escalation of violence has taken on Gaza's youngest and most vulnerable.
Since the ceasefire went into effect on Monday morning, no additional child deaths have been recorded.
At least 2,744 children have also been reported injured. Some of the young victims, who suffered debilitating injuries for which no treatment is available in Gaza, need to be referred for treatment outside the coastal enclave.
About UNICEF
UNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything we do. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere. For more information about UNICEF and its work, visit: www.unicef.org
Follow us on Twitter and Facebook
Note to editors: UNICEF has been in Gaza since the early 1990s, working to support children and families with access to basic services including water, sanitation education, health and mine-awareness. UNICEF needs approximately $14 million to respond to the mounting humanitarian needs caused by this latest escalation.

If the tide goes out
Editorial // Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, James Stafford
Regardless of the outcome of the election on 12 December, there can be no turning back the clock on Labour's transformation into a party of thoroughgoing economic radicalism.
The international institutional turn: the missing ingredient in Labour's new political economy
Feature // David Adler
Labour's economic agenda combines radical redistribution with the construction of new institutions that hard-wire democracy and social justice into Britain's political economy. But its ambition remains largely national in scope. What policies could bring about an 'international institutional turn'?
Why Labour must be the party of migration justice
Essay // Nathan Akehurst
In a world where progressive and conservative governments alike are clamping down on migrants, Labour must prioritise a radical commitment to justice for migrants.
Nationalism, the mob and left dreams
Essay // Malcolm James, Sivamohan Valluvan
The left cannot and should not compete with the right's nationalist politics; but the current 'clamour for nationalism' does also suggest a popular desire for a form of politics more ambitious than the inhibited technocracies of the 1990s/2000s. The left must construct a coherent anti-nationalist politics allied to a vision big enough to meet the scale of the current crisis.

Man or woman training in lots of primary colleges bores children. It affects them the way freshman history affected my university friends and me. We vowed that no one could make history greater dull than our professor made it. On unique events, but, the professor modified gears. Knowledge First Financial Reviews -He hired a coaching technique that turned insipid to thrilling in an immediate. That same approach can convert man or woman education into a subject that excites young children. In truth, individual training teachers can make young kids beg for extra through the use of often the approach our university professor stored for unique occasions.
Knowledge First Financial Reviews – Instructors can simply rework modern day blah into tomorrow's baling.
Individual education lesson plans frequently start with our university history professor's ordinary, blah teaching technique.
The teacher talks. In this case, the teacher talks about the man or woman training. Instructors take hold of unfastened individual schooling lesson plans anywhere they could locate them, and observe commands which include those determined on the net:
• Talk about how to recognize sounds.
• Communicate to students about how respect looks.
• communicate approximately respectful facial expressions
• Communicate to them about the tone of voice that suggests recognizing.
• Speak to student's approximately respectful body language.
Character education teachers talk, and talk, and speak. Even as they speak, young youngsters react as we did frequently in college records elegance. They count on board positions, wishing the subject didn't exist.
Knowledge First Financial Reviews – Maximum young children, like many university newcomers, have now not yet evolved the capabilities had to examine by using the speaker-instructors approach. They did now not examine to stroll through having mom communicate to them about how walking appears. They did not learn to talk via having Father explain approximately how a speaker sounds. Speaking did no longer potty educate them either. But, individual schooling lesson plans urge the instructor to speak – and talk – and talk.
"After you have explained," keep person training lesson plans like the above, "talk recognize with your students."
The instructor discusses. Our college professor tried that, too. After speaking approximately records, he attempted to have interaction us in the discussion. A lot of us awoke from speaking-precipitated cat naps, have been neither read nor capable to take part in the dialogue.
3-to-8-yr-old youngsters might be no extra prepared to talk about individual education after your instructor-communicate. Did they learn to stroll, to speak, and to feed themselves by way of discussing it with their parents? No. regardless of that, man or woman schooling lesson plans urge the teacher to speak about – and talk – and talk.
Such a method is dull to any age. It's miles blah, and nobody enjoys blah person schooling.
