Television is an audio visual media. A the posture and body language of a TV presenter is key to the success of the programme presented as the person has to present a program by communicating through his or her body language to a large extent apart from presenting it vocally. It must not be forgotten that Television is an audio visual media and hence lies the importance of body language. Let us discuss some aspects of it.

A TV presenter is sitting miles away from the targeted viewers. The respective anchor has to establish connection with the targeted viewers through eyes. His or her eyes must convey what he or she intends to say although it is being said verbally. The frequency and time of eye contacts must depend on the kind of program presented. The mood of the program as well as the concept must be taken into consideration.

The importance of posture is immensely important in presenting a Television program. Let us discuss the importance of it.

Body language should depend on the kind of program presented. A more serious program needs a stern and assertive posture while a casual or entertaining one can be done with a casual posture. It involves everything from the sitting or standing position of the anchor to the movement of eyebrows and other body parts.

Hands communicate a lot. A more explanatory program will require intensive hand movements. Hand movements can play a vital role in presenting a program. Hand movements of a Video Jockey for example will have to be different from that of an anchor of a business channel or that of a presenter of a political news and so on.

Eyebrow Movement is essential as proper and timely movement of eyebrows, enhances a presentation to a large extent.

Facial Expression must vary according to the type and seriousness of the program and opposite.

An anchor must also be aptly dressed for the occasion. The dress code must vary according to the type of program presented.

Television Anchoring has been immortalized by stalwarts like Oprah Winfrey. She is a living legend. Thus by maintaining a proper posture and body language, an anchor can take a program to new highs.

I’m a teacher applying for secondary level jobs and some jobs say English and others Language Arts and others still English Language Arts. I’ve taught overseas for the last 8 years and have never heard of language arts taught at the high school level so I’m confused.

It usually is a matter of whether it is a 6-8/Middle level job or High school.

Traditionally in HS “English” it taught. It is focused mostly on literature although students are held to standard for composition. There is often grammar and composition instruction, however, the focus in more on the application of skills that the student should already have. English classes often focus on a particular genre or historic time – especially in upper level classes.

In a lot of Middle Schools/Jr. High the English class is called “Language Arts” but I think at this level there is little difference. I was a L.A. teacher and there really isn’t much difference except at this level there are often more skills that that are taught. It’s a little more all-encompassing covering a wide range of genre’s, historic time periods, forms, etc. as well as many aspects of language.

Post-reading activities serve several purposes

• To obtain a sense of closure
• To personalize the main activity
• To summarize, reinforce and evaluate what was done

Post-reading activities for teachers:

• To practice / review new vocabulary encountered in the text
• To practice / review grammatical structures encountered in the text

A post activity should be the last 5-10 minutes of the lesson. In a reading lesson for example, there is a difference between applying the activity at an earlier stage of the reading process and at the post reading stage. This difference is due to the quantity and quality of information possessed by the reader.

Some generic lesson endings are :

• Asking the students what was taught and done. This could be written on the board. Students could then give a grade for each lesson part and/or discuss how effective it was taught.

• Reviewing the goals of the lessons

• Having a question and answer session.

Please note
: Many teachers often confuse giving homework as a post activity. Procedure based learning cannot be substituted for content. Students need to redigest or synthesize the information again, but in a different less linear perhaps more creatively depending on how well a teacher knows her students.

Graphic Representations and Graphic Organizers

Graphic organizers and representations have been found a very helpful tool in helping pupils comprehend a text of any subject and level.

For lower performing students: the teacher, having introduced organizers previously and having analyzed the text, provides the organizer as a worksheet. The pupils fill in the relevant information either while reading or post reading. If filled out initially during the reading, the post reading activity requires a review and revision of the previous stage.

For stronger pupils: the students who are already familiar with several graphic organizers create their own graphic organizer and fill in the relevant information.

In a mixed ability class the stronger students can create the graphic organizer (which should be checked by the teacher) to be filled in by the lower performing students.

I have a Masters Degree in Social Work, would I be qualified to work as a teacher in Melbourne, Florida? If yes, what subject? Also, would I be qualified to work as a Human Resource Manager or Assistant Manager in Melbourne, Florida?

You would have to get a teacher credential to teach in the public schools. Some communities have specail provisions for mature adults with experiences you can check with the dept of education in Melbourne. Human Resouce Manager would be easy especially if you took administration courses as a part of your MSW. If your MSW focuses on policy and/or administration you will have an easier sell. But if you can sell yourself you should have the chance to get into it. DA

Niche marketing instills trusting and long-term buyer to client relationships for a company willing to invest the time and money. Most other marketing campaigns seek to bring in immediate clientele or profit and often do not have dedicated repeat buyers. Niche marketing requires delicate information regarding the target group. Companies seeking out niche markets realize the grounds of sale seem relatively simplistic but find difficulty in actually obtaining customers from within the group.

Niche marketing targets groups of interest for people bound together by a certain hobby, activity or common belief structures. This makes it difficult for prospective salesmen to get a word in about a product or service. Your company must be dedicated to researching details about the group of interest before looking into ways of making a sale. A niche marketing company has a good advantage over others because time, investment and dedication to clientele secure life-long, business relationships. You will not have to depend on the marketing campaign to spark public interest in order to keep the business running.

Companies interested in niche marketing need to know a few key points about niche marketing success before creating a business plan.

Key Points to Niche Marketing

1. Finding a niche for your product or service is only the beginning.

2. Time must be dedicated to researching the niche, learning inner-circle jargon and getting to know real reasons why the niche might like to buy your product or service.

3. The most difficult and time-consuming aspect of a niche market pertains to establishing long-term, trusting relationships with prospective clientele. This could take anywhere from 1-3 months and the more time you dedicate to establishing the relationships before making a sale, the better your future selling market will be.

4. Talking with the community and participating in events provides a foot in the door. Be careful not to come off arrogant about details you know about the niche. Your target audience has been at their interest or hobby for quite a while and won’t take very well to what seems to be a “know-it-all”. Try and side yourself with the group leader and learn from them as if they were your mentor.

5. Make sure to have a business plan including after-sale customer satisfaction mechanisms. Letting a customer know they were more than just a sale secures the individual’s return business.

6. Niche marketing requires work. There is no way around the investments you need to make when targeting a group of interest. Don’t be discouraged. The investments often return two-fold or three-fold in niche marketing success.

Ad campaigns, eBook or mass advertising tactics do not hold much ground within niche marketing. Most advertising campaigns should be done by word of mouth, being involved in the community. Providing excellent customer service will help ease the buyers into your product or service. Never move too fast, and don’t go to slow in the beginning stages of niche marketing. There stands a fine line between being accepted or trusted by the group of interest and having the door closed to sales because you came off as a shady ‘sell and run’ salesman. Keep your morale up when starting off in a niche market. There’s nothing more appealing to a group of interest than confidence in one’s product or services. Niche marketing can be fun and extremely profitable in the long run given the right investments.

How much will TUCC get? Obama’s former church. Wright was the pastor.

It’s an amazing time to be alive in America . We’re in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first front-running freedom fighter over 70. The next president of America will be a first.

We won’t truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won’t arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender. Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and his politics.

The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper look at him. Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He’s not. He’s the next George McGovern. And it’s time people learned the facts.

Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he lost.

Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he’s not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant.. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let’s look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial “beauty.”

Start with national security, since the president’s most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists – something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.

Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on “the rich.” How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.

Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, “All praise and glory to God!” but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have “hijacked” – hijacked – Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban – ban – on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francis co values, not Middle America values.

The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don’t start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of “bringing America together” means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.

But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and – yes – they’re talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama’s radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.

It’s time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let’s first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.

It’s a much mourned fact of life that watching exercise videos doesn’t build muscles. Couch potatoes who can legitimately boast about six-pack abs don’t exist.

Reading bodybuilding books doesn’t get the job done, either. Reading can take us on many wondrous journeys of the mind, but it won’t pump up the pecs.

It takes sweat and effort to build muscles. Copious amounts of sweat and muscles trembling with intensity, day after day. There’s no easy way.

And so it is with emotional muscles. They, too, require regular exercise and, often, emotional sweat-a knot in the stomach, dread at hearing the phone ring,

We don’t have to join a gym and show up for workouts, though. Life is the gym, and it comes to us. Or should I say, comes at us?

Every day, opportunities arrive to help us build a little muscle. They look a lot less like opportunities than like problems. But there they are, daring us-even taunting us-and we need to do something about them. We’ll need to make choices about our response.

The first choice is how to handle the problem. We can choose to face problems head on, or we can whine and try to offload them on somebody else. The latter option looks tempting whenever we know a patsy too insecure to refuse, but this tactic will come back to bite us. By the time it does, though, offloading will be integrated into how we do life, and habits are not a spigot we can turn off with the flick of a wrist. We’ll destroy many good things by the time we figure out how to change our approach. If we ever do.

The best bet is to face any problem head on so you finish it off and not have to go around that mountain again. Call it God, call it fate, call it whatever you want to, but life has a way of making sure we learn necessary lessons.

Another choice we get is avoidance. We might make this choice early on or after we realize how bumpy the road will be. Will we sweat it out and work our way through? Or will we take a pill, take a drink, blame somebody else or use any number of other escapes to avoid the challenge placed before us?

At first glance, choosing avoidance looks pretty clever. “Let some other poor dopes struggle, not me.” And we rattle off a virtual full-length novel of rationalizations about why standing aside makes sense.

Well, look again. Those other poor dopes are building muscles, and they’ll be ready to run tomorrow’s race. Avoiders, at some point, will get left at the starting gate, watching the others pull away toward success. It won’t be fun.

Another choice is whether or not to look beyond the bare bones of the problem to seek out the opportunity-there’s always at least one-that’s in there somewhere. If we only see the problem, it’s all sturm, all drang and no “aha.” A body needs “aha” moments from time to time.

Then, once we locate the opportunity, we choose whether to take advantage of the opportunity or ignore it. Just because we can see the silver around the cloud and the gold at the end of the rainbow doesn’t mean there’s not some heavy lifting involved. Sometimes we just want to say, “I gave at the office” and be done with it. But without striving, life is just so much oatmeal, so we might as well go for it.

But a lot of us balk. We’re weary of dealing with problems, opportunities, whatever you want to call them. We want life to proceed with ease. Sunshine every day, kids that don’t talk back, a boss who regularly decides we’re underpaid, our biggest concern whether or not to crook our pinky when we pick up a tea cup. Wake up, get with the reality and start lifting.

So here’s how it is: Problems come to everybody. We all get to make the same choices about dealing with them. If we’re smart, we’ll make smart choices. It doesn’t take an Einstein to figure that out.

Hi,
I’m looking for the PECS program or boardmaker to work with at home. I teach autistic children, and have the software available to me at work, however never enough time to use it. The county I work for will not give me a copy to use at home. Currently I am looking for a task analysis for washing hands. Does anyone know where there is affordable boardmaker or similar icons online for free or for an affordable price?

Sometimes you can find old copies on ebay, though those versions may not be compatible with the ones you’re using at school.

Another option, if you have a laptop – once the Boardmaker CD is loaded, it is not needed for running the program. I will sometimes load it on my laptop at work, then leave the CD at school and take the laptop home to work.

Before the VCR, DVDs and other other types of media were available, members and missionaries of the Mormon church used a simple type of technology to tell stories; this media is called filmstrips. Filmstrips are 35mm rolls of film that are projected through a simple projector. The projector sends light through the film and the images is projected on the wall or white screen. When the slide needs to be changed you turn a dial on the projector. Audio is provided by an audio cassette tape or a vinyl record. When the slide needs to be changed you hear a small beep.

Filmstrips were used by the Mormon church from the 1960s until the 1990s. However, filmstrips began to lose popularity when LDS meeting houses began purchasing VCRs and televisions in the late 1980s. Many regular films were converted to filmstrips because it was significantly cheaper than a moving picture system. Some of the most notable films that were converted to filmstrips were movies such as, the Mormon classics “Johnny Lingo” and “Windows of Heaven”. Gordon Jump, the actor who starred in the television sitcom “WKRP”, was featured in a filmstrip called “It All Started with Thad”.

Filmstrips are a forgotten LDS Art. The technology is so old that modern youth find it fascinating. In the 1970s or 1980s this technology would have been common place in a Mormon Sunday school class. In the Mormon stage play film “Saturday’s Warrior”, the Missionaries use a filmstrip projector to share a missionary discussion. Elder Kestler projects the filmstrip onto the portly stomach of Elder Green.

Filmstrips were used to tell the Mormon message; they told Book of Mormon Stories, Church History Stories, and also taught lessons to youth, teachers and leaders. This technology was popular among members of the Mormon faith, and many public schools used this technology as well.

This form of art and media has been lost due to the availability and convenience of modern video equipment, however, you can still purchase or find filmstrips that have been converted to modern recording devices, such as DVDs, at the Mormon Church Distribution centers in very limited availability.

Trent Bowen is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day saints and is a collector of LDS media. He is the owner of http://www.prophetpaintings.com. He believes that LDS art can bless the lives of others.

And I want to upload it to youtube except it is like 625mb.

you’re gonna have to learn all about compression. but first here is a quick lesson: Frame Rates: The Frame Rate of a movie is measured by the number of frames per second that a movie plays back.

Like a flip book when flipping the animation or “speed” is how often a “page” is passed in 1 second.

NTSC is 29.9 frames a sec.PAL at 25. That is broadcast standard. Since you aren’t making this for the “air waves” you can lower your frame rate to 15 frames a sec which will then drop the amount of megabytes size.

for larger movies a program called sorenson squeeze will help you compress that video without losing quality. good luck!

edit: to answer your question Render at uncompressed AVI and then compress it with a 3rd party program (sorenson squeeze) for best results.

What you need to know about the Anthem Blue Cross Lumenos HSA plans, and Health Savings Accounts.

Anthem Blue Cross Lumenos HSA plans offer you a way to pay less for insurance, reduce taxes, access high quality health benefits, and save for future medical expenses with a Health Savings Account (HSA). HSA plans work with higher deductible health plans that reduce monthly insurance costs. Instead of paying insurance companies for benefits that often times aren’t used, you pay less each month and can make tax deductible contributions into an HSA that can be used for medical expenses or earn interest Tax-Free until you retire (2010 contribution maximums are $3,050 for individuals or $5,950 for families).

Increasingly, individuals and families are considering Lumenos health insurance policies with higher deductibles than traditional policies. Sometimes, employers are asking their employees to enroll in these plans, either as an option or the only health insurance plan available to employees.

In 2003, federal legislation removed the limitations on MSAs (Medical Savings Accounts),and re-named them “Health Savings Accounts.” HSAs are now available to any individual or family with HSA-qualified health insurance. There are no limitations on who may have an HSA based on income or employment status. However, dependent children may not have their own HSA accounts but may be covered by the HSA of their parents. In December, 2006, additional changes were made to the HSA program that allowed for increased account funding opportunities.

2010 HSA Limits: The Treasury Department and IRS issued new guidance on the maximum contribution levels for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and out-of-pocket spending limits for High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) that must be used with Health Savings Accounts (HSA). These amounts have been indexed for cost-of-living adjustments for 2010.

The new 2010 levels are as follows:

- Individual: $3,050

- Family: $5,950

Changes in Plan limits: The maximum annual out-of-pocket amount for Individual High Deductible Helath Plan (HDHP) coverage increases to $5,950 and the maximum annual out-of-pocket amount for HDHP family coverage is twice that, $11,900. Minimum Deductible Amounts for HSA-Compatible HDHPs for 2010 is $1,200 for Individual coverage and $2,400 for family coverage.

Additional Lumenos benefits:

- Allowing people to take their health savings accounts with them if they move from job to job.

- Raising contribution limits and allowing for a one time transfers from IRA accounts.

- Allowing a contribution up to an annual limit of $3,050, regardless of the deductible for their insurance plan.

Lumenos HSA plans have some of the industries most comprehensive preventive care services, which happen to be covered at 100% before your deductible.

Preventive Care covered at 100% · Eye chart vision screening (Full vision exams not included) · Hearing screening · Cholesterol and Lipid screening · Blood Glucose test to screen for Type II Diabetes · Prostate Cancer screenings (PSA test) · Breast exam and Mammography screening · Pelvic exam, Pap test and contraceptive management for females · Screening for Sexually Transmitted diseases (STD) · HIV test · Bone Density test for osteoporosis · Colorectal Cancer screening, Barium Enema, Flexible Sigmoidoscopy and screening Colonoscopy · Routine Blood and urine screenings

Immunizations: · Hepatitis A · Hepatitis B · Tetanus, Diphtheria (Td) · Varicella (chicken pox) · Influenza (flu shot) · Pneumococcal Conjugate (pneumonia) · Humana Papilloma Virus (HPV) · Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) · Meningococcal Polysaccharide · Herpes Zoster (shingles)

Anthem Lumenos health plans are a great choice if you are looking for an HSA qualified health plan. Contact an independent authorized agent for more details.

I have been assisting clients for over 20 years in the Health Insurance
and Medicare Supplement market.

I live in Sacramento with my wife and three children, and offer my services throughout California, Nevada and Colorado. When I’m not busy helping clients, I’m usually fixing my kids flat tires, helping with homework, or fighting with my backyard vineyard.

and do you have a roster chart or is it a set amount. How much is enough for 11 year old girl?

I was having problems with my kids asking/begging/whining for money whenever we would go out shopping. They would ask for things that were inexpensive but after you have bought 10 inexpensive items it adds up. So I started the allowance plan below:

My kids get $5 per week payable at the end of the month in the form of a $20 bill. They think this is great and are learing to spend their money wisely.

I no longer buy any impulse items for them. I tell them to bring their money when we head out the door.

It has been really interesting to see their “wants” change. Now they really think about what they want, are able to save up a few months allownace for what they want, or sometimes they just plain decide that they don’t need soemthing as much as they thought. My kids have each also started a savings account. They have about $325 saved between the two of them.

It works!

P.S. If chores are not done – no allowance.

Sample teacher resumes are the first step for any teacher who needs to write a teacher resume. When you want to apply for a teaching position you can get tips from a sample teacher resume to help you create your own unique resume. Since teaching methodologies have changed, if you are returning to the teaching profession after some time or if you are a recent graduate, your resume should reflect that you have knowledge of how to use these methodologies. You do need to highlight your accomplishments and demonstrate areas of strength in your teaching profession.

Teaching is one area where educational background is just as important as work experience. However, like all jobs, you learn more in your first year of teaching than you ever could in five years of university. This is where you put the theories you learned to the test in actual practice.

Your resume should start with a summary of your profile as a teacher. In this section, you showcase areas of specialty or areas where you feel you made a contribution to the teaching profession in your most recent assignments. You can also include the accomplishments you made in areas of extra-curricular, since taking part in after school activities, such as coaching and supervision is an important part of a teacher’s job, even though it is not paid.

Since “balanced literacy” is the buzzword in every job posting, your resume should demonstrate that you can deliver a balanced literacy curriculum in your classroom, whatever the grade level. This includes providing details of the use of guided reading, literature circles, small and whole group discussions and hands-on learning.

If you have training outside of the regular university courses, you must include them in your resume. It is best to include these professional activities in a separate section, especially if you have a certificate from the course. Some of the areas that you could include in this section would be any professional development that you took part in, such as attending seminars.

The resume for a teaching position is only one part of the process for obtaining a teaching position. There will be many resumes similar to yours submitted for each job posting. You may need to submit many resumes before you are even contacted for an interview. The tip that you should remember is to tailor the resume for each job that you apply for. If you have experience teaching several different grades, concentrate on your skills and accomplishments pertinent to the grade level advertised for in the job posting.

Music teaching and its themes encompass pedagogical skills as well as matters of character, disposition, value, personality, and musicality. It reflects on musicianship and practical aspects of teaching while drawing on a broad base of theory, research, and personal experience. Although grounded in the practical realities of music teaching, many educators and music specialists have been urging music teachers to think and act artfully, imaginatively, hopefully, and courageously toward creating a better world.

The concept of teaching strategy is mainly identified with only one of the teacher’s activities – giving information. The contemporary approaches give additional meanings to this concept broadening its contents: the planning of educational activities, their implementation, the assessment and control of the process and its results.

Good music teachers plan for effective and creative music teaching resources and also organize learning experiences that have the flexibility to allow for spontaneous, self-directed knowledge and skill acquisitions. These enable students to develop new musical understandings, incorporate in the intended learning experiences, and enhance by available technologies and other resources in music teaching. These mentors in music are encouraged to work with colleagues, parents, and other members of the community to constructively incorporate such resources into their teaching.

Also, you should affirm your students’ potentials and achievements; expert music teachers are truly sensitive to the musical lives of their students as well as their ways on how they interact with their peers, their engagement with schooling, their values and interests and their aspirations and ideals.

As a music teacher, you must associate your teaching strategies with real motivation. This involves concepts on acquisition of knowledge and skills, intellectual development, enhancement of their self-esteem, and most of all, the role for overcoming various psychological barriers in communication and the feeling of social deprivation and isolation.

Music educators must know how students excel in learning music as well as implement a range of effective strategies and techniques for: teaching and learning music, promoting enjoyment of learning and positive attitudes to music; utilizing information and communication technologies; encouraging and enabling parental involvement; and for being an effective role model for students and the community in many ways.

Students must feel such acceptance and seek belongingness while they learn music, establish camaraderie among their classmates and develop themselves – all at the same time.

Resources in music teaching must be designed in a way that educators can adhere to the needs of their students and be able to make them appreciate each technique. They must be positive advocates of learning music in the classroom, and for a wider community and industry to fit in. They offer strategies for assisting student musical development outside the formal learning environment – creating and offering additional opportunities to involve students in musical activities in specific contexts of interest and relevance to the students.

With all these ounces of effort on music teachers resources, attaining a better and a more conducive environment for both teaching and learning seems to be very close to you and to your learners. Bear in mind that you have to make your students learn music by heart. Happy teaching!

More reliable and comprehensive resources in music teaching can be found on this music teachers website.

A Teacher’s Passion for Music

Earl Marsden started developing a passion for music at the early age of twelve. He first learned to play the guitar at thirteen, and from there he pursued the study other instruments including the violin, piano and flute. Currently, he devotes some of his spare time to writing articles about music teaching while managing his own music studio.

In math, most teachers will expect you to show your work so that you can prove how you got to your answer. Teachers’ editions only have the answers for the assignments, not the steps needed to get the answers.

You’ll lose points, your teacher will know that you did not do the work, and your grade will suffer. It’s easier to just learn the math.

Dutch painter, sculptor, and poet, Christiaan Karel Appel, an exponent of ‘Abstract Expressionism,’ was born to Jan Appel, a Dutch barber, and Johanna Chevalier in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on April 25, 1921. Appel started showing penchant towards painting at a young age of fourteen. Appreciating his passion and zeal to learn painting, his affluent uncle, Karel Chevalier, gifted him a painting gear on his fifteenth birthday. During 1940-43, the artist studied at Rijksakademie, Amsterdam. In 1946, his first-ever solo exhibition was held at Het Beerenhuis in Groningen, the Netherlands, and he keenly participated at the Jonge Schilder’s exhibition too, at the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam.

Starting as an affiliate of the Nederlandse Experimentele Groep, Karel Appel displayed a typical non-representational and non-objective style of ‘Abstract Art’ in his painting. His paintings have always been an explicit expression of the hysterical barbaric world represented by flamboyant and the loud choices of colors. His brush strokes create an impression of an artist slapping his canvas with color using brushes and small knife. Highly inspired initially by Pablo Picasso & Henri Matisse and later on by Jean Dubuffet, Karel Appel was one of the key founders of the experimental group called, COBRAS movement, which believed in emoting rage through its art. Founded in 1948, the COBRA movement was a group of ‘abstract’ painters (such as Appel, Constant, Corneille, and many others), who wanted to break loose from the conventional norms of art.

In 1949, Karel Appel’s public image took a beating due to a severe controversy sparked by his creation of a frieze titled, “Questioning Children” for a restaurant in the City Hall of Amsterdam. This controversial debate lasted for a decade, eventually forcing him to leave Holland for Paris in 1950. In Paris, the author, Hugo Claus introduced Karel to Michel Tapia. It was this friendship with Tapia, which got him the platform to organize and exhibit his work in France. In 1953, the success of his solo show at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels became a feather on his cap. He was awarded the UNESCO accolade at the Venice Biennale of 1954, and was appointed to carry out a fresco for the restaurant of the Stedelijk Museum in the year 1956. Rewards and recognition followed him in profusion. The subsequent year, he also claimed a graphics honor at the Ljubljana Biennial in Yugoslavia. In 1959, he was honored with an International Prize for Painting at the São Paulo Bienal.

Karel’s some of the most distinguished works include “Questioning Children, 1948;” “Little Moon Men, 1946;” “Hip Hip Hoorah, 1949;” “Horse and Flute Player, 1951;” and “Amorous Dance, 1955.” Appel left no stone unturned in preserving, prop up, and exhibiting his oeuvre. He also set up Karel Appel Foundation, which took charge of creating awareness and handling publications of his entire opus. Karel Appel lost his life to a severe heart ailment on May 3, 2006 at Zurich, Switzerland. He was cremated at Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.

I am menstruating and I’ve always had this aversion to my own body during this time. But today, I suddenly saw something beautiful about it! The vibrant colors my body produces, like a canvas splashed with art

Interesting that you should mention that, because last month, I went to bed commando without realizing I was on my period and woke up with some serious dried spillage all around and down my inner thighs, and it was so epic I was like “This is incredible!” and wanted to take pictures of it. (Of course, the stained sheets were not that awesome).

Weird, perhaps, but I never said I wasn’t.
