‘If you want to enter into their world, you should understand and know their language’-
This is an old saying about children and this is the way of interaction between the children and the teachers in White Fields Nursery.
‘Tell me the number you were able to toss with the ball’, this was the game today. Children enjoyed playing a target toss game of numbers, which focussed on their gross motor skills and numeracy as well.
In addition to that, children had a flower Math game puzzle, and they completed the flower according to the numbers.
They had so much to do with numeracy today and stuck the numbers on caterpillars, during the numeracy class to learn numbers.
They were involved in the color game, focusing on their identifying skills. Foot print hopping was great for coordination and balancing. They were so creative in collaging feathers on the UAE national bird.
To enhance their literacy skills, they learnt about Phonic ’N’ and its vocabulary.
Today’s Science Activity focused on STEM-Learning.
An excellent learning experience again…
Intimate Lighting (1965) Language: Czech Subtitles: English Director: Ivan Passer Producer: N/A Writer: Ivan Passer, Jaroslav Papoušek, Václav Šašek Screenplay: Ivan Passer Cast: Zdeněk Bezušek, Karel Blažek, Věra Křesadlová, Jaroslava Štědrá Music: Josef Hart, Oldrich Korte Cinematography: Josef Střecha, Miroslav Ondříček Editor: Jiřina Lukešová Production Design: Karel Cerny Costume: N/A Production: Filmové studio Barrandov Distributor: N/A Description: Intimate Lighting is a Czech drama film directed by Ivan Passer. It is widely considered as a major film of the Czechoslovak New Wave and to be Passer’s most significant film. It follows the adventures of a professional symphony musician, Peter, who comes to a small town to see a friend he has missed, Bambas. He is a teacher and performer at funerals. The two meet again and get involved in some comic exploits, including a possible symphony concert. Krzysztof Kieslowski placed it on his Top Ten list for a Sight & Sound magazine poll. Dave Kehr, formerly of the Chicago Reader, called it “one of the finest works of the short-lived Czech New Wave.” The New York Times noted that it was one of those movies that “loses none of its charm, to age or to repeated viewing” ift.tt/3e8kr8s

Palenque, also anciently known in the Itza Language as Lakamha (literally 'Flat-Place-River'), was a Maya city state in southern Mexico that perished in the 8th century. The Palenque ruins date from ca. 226 BC to ca. 799 AD. After its decline, it was overgrown by the jungle of cedar, mahogany, and sapodilla trees, but has since been excavated and restored. It is located near the Usumacinta River in the Mexican state of Chiapas, about 130 km (81 mi) south of Ciudad del Carmen, 150 meters (490 ft) above sea level. It averages a humid 26°C (79°F) with roughly 2,160 millimeters (85 in) of rain a year.
Palenque is a medium-sized site, smaller than Tikal, Chichen Itza, or Copán, but it contains some of the finest architecture, sculpture, roof comb and bas-relief carvings that the Mayas produced. Much of the history of Palenque has been reconstructed from reading the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the many monuments; historians now have a long sequence of the ruling dynasty of Palenque in the 5th century and extensive knowledge of the city-state's rivalry with other states such as Calakmul and Toniná. The most famous ruler of Palenque was K'inich Janaab Pakal, or Pacal the Great, whose tomb has been found and excavated in the Temple of the Inscriptions.
By 2005, the discovered area covered up to 2.5 km2, but it is estimated that less than 10% of the total area of the city is explored, leaving more than a thousand structures still covered by jungle.
The famous structures that we know today probably represent a rebuilding effort in response to the attacks by the city of Calakmul and its client states in 599 and 611. One of the main figures responsible for rebuilding Palenque and for a renaissance in the city's art and architecture is also one of the best-known Maya Ajaw, Kʼinich Janaabʼ Pakal (Pacal the Great), who ruled from 615 to 683. He is known through his funerary monument dubbed the Temple of Inscriptions, after the lengthy text preserved in the temple's superstructure. At the time Alberto Ruz Lhuillier excavated Pakal's tomb, it was the richest and best preserved of any scientifically excavated burial then known from the ancient Americas. It held this position until the discovery of the rich Moche burials at Sipan, Peru and the recent discoveries at Copan and Calakmul.
The grandson of Janaab Pakal is the most famous of the Mayan kings, K'inich Janaab' Pakal, also known as Pakal the Great. He began rule at the age of 12 years after his mother Sak Kuk resigned as queen after three years, thus passing power on to him. Pakal the Great reigned in Palenque from 615 to 683, and his mother remained an important force for the first 25 years of his rule. She may have ruled jointly with him. Known as the favorite of the gods, he carried Palenque to new levels of splendor, in spite of having come to power when the city was at a low point. Pakal married the princess of Oktán, Lady Tzakbu Ajaw (also known as Ahpo-Hel) in 624 and had at least three children.
Most of the palaces and temples of Palenque were constructed during his government; the city flourished as never before, eclipsing Tikal. The central complex, known as The Palace, was enlarged and remodeled on various occasions, notably in the years 654, 661, and 668. In this structure, is a text describing how in that epoch Palenque was newly allied with Tikal, and also with Yaxchilan, and that they were able to capture the six enemy kings of the alliance. Not much more had been translated from the text. Pakal's sarcophagus, built for a very tall man, held the richest collection of jade seen in a Mayan tomb. A jade mosaic mask was placed over his face, and a suit made of jade adorned his body, with each piece hand-carved and held together by gold wire.
During the 8th century, B'aakal came under increasing stress, in concert with most other Classic Mayan city-states, and there was no new elite construction in the ceremonial center sometime after 800. An agricultural population continued to live here for a few generations, then the site was abandoned and was slowly grown over by the forest. The district was very sparsely populated when the Spanish first arrived in the 1520's.

excellent language helper, and has become a dear friend. One day she taught
me how to make an Indonesian meal called Kari Ayam (Curry Chicken). It has
Curry in it, but isn't spicy. It is made with coconut milk, which make it a
little sweeter. Indonesians typically would make this meal very spicy, but
because we can't handle it as spicy as they do we toned it down a little.
Here's Sarah with Juarni and her 2 girls, Riryn and Jennie.

Shanghai Tower, the second tallest skyscraper in the world
Shanghai Tower, the second tallest skyscraper in the world, with 632 meters and 128 floors, 828 meters after the Burj Khalifa (Dubai), is almost ready for its opening and dedication this summer as the largest building double facade the planet.
Although not yet decided the date of its official opening, after more than six years of construction, the works are completed to 95 percent and weeks that Shanghainese are accustomed and to see lighted this immense and twisted column of glass, complete its futuristic collection of skyscrapers.
This structure (a vertical tower of glass, coated with an outer glass facade, writhing gracefully on itself, as if it will roll, structured around a series of platforms wider ground than other floors, which follow more roughly every 15 levels) is so aesthetic and practical.
"We wanted to make the super-tower high greener and high efficient in the world, so all building elements meet at least two or three functions at once," he told EFE the chief architect responsible for its design, US Marshall Strabala, from inside the tower, still under construction.
Indeed, Strabala, with nearly three decades of experience in designing large buildings (including own Burj Khalifa, with 163 floors high, and the Zifeng Tower of Nanjing, the ninth highest in the world with 450 meters), knows that biggest challenge is to design them to withstand the strong side wind thrust loads on the structure.
Twisted surface
Hence, in part, gently twisted the outer surface of the tower, because "the external façade is the only one who sees the wind, and the way it has reduced wind loads up to 28 percent, equivalent to about 60 million of structure that we had to build. "
This design also allows for an air bag between the two walls, which functions as an excellent natural thermal insulator, especially useful in a city with humidity and temperatures between zero and 40 degrees that rarely reaches every winter and Shanghai summers.
In addition, a building destined to become one of the hallmarks of Shanghai "should be part of your time, reflect its time", so peculiar aspect has already become "the image of the building, a tower of the future "he said.
Indeed, the tower, to be called "Shanghai Zhongxin" in Mandarin ("Shanghai Center") and "Shanghai Tower" in English, is the third of the "three brothers" the municipal government planned to build symbolically in 1995 heart of Lujiazui financial district, which barely existed then.
It is the only trio of skyscrapers located so close to each other worldwide.
The other two are the Jin Mao Tower (421 meters, 88 floors, opened in 1999, and today the fourteenth world's tallest building), and the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), popularly known in many languages, also in Chinese such as "Opener" (now fifth largest, with 492 meters and 101 floors, opened in 2008).
Although the last beam of the Tower of Shanghai (which in the original plan of 1995 was to be the smallest of the three) was installed in August 2013, and in fact would then be the second tallest building in the world it is not usually including new members in the list of super skyscrapers on the planet until they are in operation.
Strabala said Shanghai wants to symbolize the "three brothers" the last of China (Jin Mao, "a pagoda stainless steel"), present (SWFC, "China accepts foreign investment" because it is a Japanese building) and future (with "a transparent building, which has many places for people").
Indeed, the architect expects its Shanghai tower could accommodate about 18,000 visitors a day, between workers, tourists and guests of the world's tallest hotel (between floors 84 and 110).
The building, 530,000 square meters (including 95,000 22 967 office and commercial surfaces), has 106 lifts, the fastest of which go up to 18 meters per second to the highest tourist viewpoint of the planet (top 119), which also will open on the 121 floor terrace.

everything single thought i've had today has been for the most part depressing. i'm not usually like this, really.. i have these down on myself moments. and i mean-i get REALLY down. today for example. i feel like i'm going to go crazy before this day is over.
first there is the always pleasant thought and fear of lack of talent. not only in my major in school, but in any and everything. Looking at this flickr, i see juvienille work from a mediocre photographer. i would never even pretend to put anything i have taken up for sale. i wish i could write more regularly.. but then i feel like i'm only good at it SOMETIMES, when i'm extremely emotional. even then i don't feel like i can fully write what i feel.
i also just have this insanely horrible self hatred, i couldn't even tell you where it comes from. not so much of me-me..but of my appearance. it seems to me that no matter how hard i try i will never see in the mirror what i want. in terms of losing weight, most defintely. the dumbest thing i hate SO much about myself are my freckles. i don't know why i hate them so much..i just feel like a lepar--[i'm not even pretending to know how to spell that.] its just frustrating when you find most things about yourself disgustable.
i'm giving my two weeks at work and i feel guilty becasue two people just quit and i feel like i'm leaving them high and dry. but i simply cannot handle it anymore. theres too much going on. school is stressing me out enough for 3 jobs.
i feel pretty distant from my friends recently.
my family..we just need help.
long distance relationships completely suck. i've always looked down on the strange people who try to make them work, wondering how anyone could have so much faith in such a hopeless situation. now that i am one of those people, i feel so so indescribably empty. the worst thing to do is sit and think about this..but i miss him so much. i would settle for 3 minutes holding him tonight.
this is not a feel sorry for me thing.. not by any means..its just me trying desperately to get this feeling out of my chest. okayy.
