This old poster was a nice surprise in a British-themed pub in downtown St Pete. The reflection of a wall light forced me to phot it at an oblique angle, but here's a chance to boost my Welsh vocabulary.

English language teaching academics and educational technology experts from the private sector gathered at the Technology in English White House event ahead of the launch of the Office of English Language Program's new American English E-Teacher Program.
These are vocabulary slides I created as part of my 9th/10th grade English Language Arts class to help teach SAT prep vocabulary for the novels we read. The images aren't cleared (have mercy) but I wanted to make the slides available to other teachers because they brought my students a lot of joy and learning!

To me this is freedom: saying "it's done!" after a quarter of probably the most intensive work-school load I've ever had.
I know it only gets worse but I'll deal with that fact later ;p
So I took my final on campus today and the TA graded it right after I handed it in. The class is so competitive so (that's why I believe) it's graded on an absolute scale. I was nervous. 90% = A. I went to the bathroom to freshen up and fixed my things while the TA graded my exam. He gave it back to me and I got 90.4%! yay!

Town Hall Hilversum, the Netherlands
In the Town Hall of Hilversum, architect Dudok language manages the vertical and horizontal volumes, the set of masses against hollow, flat roofs floating and monumentality. This remarkable and in many ways unique structure, whose first sketches were made in 1924, is considered the masterpiece of brilliant but anti avant-garde architect’s career. When the building was completed in 1931, the public embraced this example of modern architecture, for its balance between form and function, and it seemed traditional in composition, fine craftsmen and high quality finishes and materials used. But above all, it was praised for its monumentality. Some critics, however, felt that the building had an anti – structural arrangement, which was proportionally irresponsible in their ways and accused of diluting Dudok modernist designs or be halfway modernism, playing another contemporary, rather than create a formal language itself. By insisting that its architecture lacked a specific style, critics suggested that their designs were not fluent, thus limited to a strict formula for the entire architecture. However, the end result becomes a sculptural expression of a subject composition. It is a testament to the consistent harmonic form, function, art and human need. Hilversum City Council is not only the magnum opus Dudok ‘s career, but also one of the most successful buildings in the history of the modern movement.
The structure consists of load-bearing walls, reinforced concrete floors and concrete lintels above the horizontal windows, while the roof structure in the council chamber is steel. Its balanced masses make a synthesis of functionality and romanticism. Has been criticized, however the arrangement and construction irresponsible proportions addition forms. The use of overhanging eaves, an unusual feature to the Netherlands, and a simple tree -dimensional asymmetric geometry arranged around a square courtyard provide a modern structure while reflecting the medieval municipalities historicism by the presence of a large and a tower room. It is a masonry construction, using, in addition to reinforced concrete and steel beams, yellow bricks specially made for this project, including all facades. Dudok, who also designed the furniture and interior decoration, yellow bricks ordered in special sizes. Some decorative touches were made with blue and green glazed tiles, red tiles strips, black and gold, as the wall facing the columns of the gallery entrance, covered with light blue tiles or dark details on the bases of columns and red in the upper parts. Blue was also used in other decorative details, particularly in the outer columns coating. In the thin elongated interior columns were used and refined golden tiles, highlighting the dark colour of some soils, covered with marbles combinations, like some of the walls in the lobby or the stairwell. Glass is another recurring element in the sophisticated decoration, not only in window openings where clear glass was used, semitransparent, bevelled and stained glass in some gaps, but also excels in the decorative lighting, also designed by the architect.
The building was restored between 1989-1995 by Dutch Van Hoogevest Architects. Restoration costs caused some scandal, as it was at the time the proposal to sell a Mondrian painting from the collection of the city to pay for the restoration.
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is as common as Dyslexia, yet few parents, teachers or psychologists have heard of it. This is alarming given it impacts children’s ability to understand what is being said to them or express themselves verbally. Instead, many children with DLD fall behind in school, and struggle to form lasting social connections. This often results in lifelong struggles with anxiety and low self-esteem. Despite this, there is currently no psychological support tailored specifically for these children’s needs.
My PhD project has involved developing and testing a new psychological support program for parents of children with DLD, called PLUTO. PLUTO takes children through visually engaging and creative activities to help them understand their emotions better; ultimately managing their anxiety and preventing low self-esteem. Parents have found “the use of colours and drawing” enables their children to “take charge” of their emotions and unfamiliar situations, building resilience.

Sai Ying Pun
Being an international school, there were students from all over the world
at NUFS, meaning there were more languages than just Japanese and English.
Although this was the English language lounge, there were often people who
spoke French, Spanish, German, Korean, Chinese, and so on as well. Being
able to communicate with all of these people, despite having been raised
learning different languages, changes the way one thinks about
communication and how to use language to do so.
Chinese language teachers take notice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZzIVdg3A1A This is an August 10, 2010 video with good audio quality on plainclothes police stopping democratic activist Ai Weiwei from filing a complaint for the beating he received from Chengdu police on August 10, 2009 during the trial of Tan Zuoren. Good for classroom instruction.
"Reflections on the August 10th incident:
1. The legal organs of the government are a mess through and through.
2. The police, procuratorate, and courts have lost confidence in themselves . Don't expect fair treatment from an illegitimate regime.
3. The Chengdu police got a scare.
4. Chengdu police personnel all recognize Ai Wewei.
Ai Weiwei made these comments on his Twitter account www.twitter.com/aiww
