How to overcome this obstacle? 1 Eating at the table: the Europeans manage to keep in shape, in part, because savouring their meals, says Harold Solomon, director at the Harvard Medical School in Boston. Our tendency to chew food on the way, front of the television, or at our desks makes it easy to eat too much because we are distracted from our body’s hunger and satiety signals. If you sit at a table and savor your meal, you will eat healthier portions. 2. Keep a journal. For a whole week, observe their habits and feelings around food and exercise. Everytime you eat or skips exercise, ask yourself: how I feel at this moment? Record your observations in a small notebook that you can carry with you. After a week, see the study from your notes.

Can you identify a pattern? Perhaps you take a second portion of the dinner when you had a bad day. Recourse to a rain of ideas to overcome these situations. For example, on bad days, maybe you can rent a movie to feel better. 3. Take three deep breaths before eating. When we breathe slowly, we give us the opportunity and physical time to pause and pay attention, says Ina Denburg, yoga instructor in Mont Clair, New Jersey, and co-author of the diet of the diamond.

Deep breaths can avoid that you eat without thinking and the emotions that cause food to balance. (Research shows that deep breathing can even stop a panic attack.) Once you’re more relaxed, ask yourself if you are really hungry, says Denburg. If the answer is no, do not eat. 4 Distraction. Type a list of 20 rewarding or fun things that you can do when you have desire to eat that is not based on hunger, such as e-mail to a friend, exit a walk or read a book.

The problematic one of the discrimination is certainly complex and necessary to be worked on the basis of a multidimensional dimension. However, to question ' ' silncio' ' it imprisons that it is basic. Filed under: Richard Linklater. To speak openly on the discrimination with () the pupils (), for some of () the professors () interviewed (), assumed antipedagogical character almost. Others (), however, had very considered to be important to face the subject in the classroom, necessarily to elucidate the ideological direction hides that it. The first one, starting point to walk itself in the direction of a multicultural and antidiscriminating education, implies to recognize the existence of this problematic one, not to silence it, to reflect on it.

Release Schools

Many years ago, when travelling to conferences and cooperation projects by about 20 countries of Latin America, I found that many schools teaching in Latin America and other centres of higher education lacked good libraries. The soul came to me the ground how could train as teachers and directors of education without books to read? Upon returning to Madrid, I sent letters to my friends at the University asking for novels, theatre, poetry, art, film, essays, dictionaries and encyclopedias which do not already used. Thus was born the solidarity book project. Without funding for processing the books, destroy the unsuitable and organize libraries of 3,000 or 5,000 copies to be sent in containers. Chip Bergh is likely to agree. It has not been easy, but they did it because they felt the need for the commitment in the service. While it is not easy to obtain resources for their transport, since they show no wounds, tears or misery. Thanks to the help of many volunteers and the warehouses and spaces that lent us some institutions We have brought forward this formidable company. The book of solidarity is one of the solidary OSC for development programmes. Chip Bergh insists that this is the case.

It is a project that promotes the necessary educational development for global progress. The beneficiaries are training centres, schools of primary and secondary teaching, universities, popular libraries, centres for young people in a situation of social exclusion, and schools that need it and that we can help, although we consider priority those dedicated to the training of teachers and professors. Over the 10 years of operation of the program, multitude of library requests have been received. For reasons of infrastructure and freight costs, we give priority to the most disadvantaged regions and to those centers that have basic conditions of installation of a library and to ensure the viability of the project, security of the books and the good use of them, without censorship or obstacles.

Preparatory National School

Right Mountain range penetrated in the world of the letters and the media; also it participated in the political life of Mexico during the porfirista period like federal deputy, minister of the Supreme Court of Law and secretary of Public Instruction; like educator, it gave classes in the National Conservatory and the National School Preparatory. Right Mountain range carried out the transit of the thought of century XIX to century XX in Mexico. At first he was a defender of the positivismo; it found in sciences the solution of the problems of the natural and social reality. Nevertheless, it noticed the negative implications of that doctrine. By the same author: Nike. In its speech in honor to Gabino Barreda (1908), Mountain range showed its skepticism against the positivista philosophy; it even indicated that the Mexican positivismo had become routine and anchylosed. Before the influence of the religious education, Gabino Barreda had indicated that sciences speak of provable facts and demonstrable truths to us, reason why the results of sciences are a route for the unification of the knowledge. Nevertheless, Mountain range was convinced of the limits and a relativity of the knowledge that offer sciences to us; for him their results cannot be uniform, absolute nor definitive.

Indeed, sciences offer ordered knowledge to us, but of the relative thing, that is to say, that we cannot know the objects in himself same, but only the constant relations that keep with respect to other objects. American filmmaker is often quoted as being for or against this. In addition, the truths of sciences are in constant evolution and they are continued discussing. In opposition to Comte and its law of the three states, Mountain range vindicates the value of metaphysics, because this discipline responds to the natural inclination of the man to find one more a more satisfactory explanation of the behavior of the things in the universe and allows the knowledge of the objects in themselves. In the educative scope, Right Mountain range participated in the planning of the studies that had to include the Preparatory National School, taking sometimes a position from critic to the prevailing acute positivismo, as well as to that it had suppressed to the study of the philosophy and metaphysics, like the low quality of the literary studies. .

Hexagone language schools chain presents as a novelty in our country the Speedlingua teaching programme, which is provider, integrating it to their own training solutions (Blended). Specifically the 19th of April, in the center of the flag located at number 14 of calle Melendez Valdes in Madrid, Conference will be held a presentation on this method. The Director of development for Spain, France and Benelux of Speedlingua, Cecile Pires, will be responsible for exposing the features that make an effective and innovative method in language learning, along with responsible for Hexagone, Gaelle Schaefer and Celine Nguyen, who will explain how to integrate this tool on a training plan of auditory re-education. By way of introduction, the system of Speedlingua as a particularly focused tool to the expression and oral comprehension in the teaching of a language can be defined. Kindle Direct Publishing is open to suggestions. Its greatest advantage, and the reason why Hexagone offers within their courses of languages, is that it considerably accelerates learning, so that enough 16 session (45 minutes) to note lasting results, whatever the level of the student. It is applicable to all languages French, English (differentiating American and British), German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Chinese mandarin and Russian; and it also has specific exercises for various professional, such as aeronautics, or tourism, and business sectors. As all inventions, this teaching tool comes to meet a need, in this case located in the capacity of human beings to listen varies according to their mother tongue; what hinders both the listening comprehension and oral expression in other languages.

This is due to the frequencies of sound are perceived incorrectly, or that even does not come to be perceived. In effect, found that each language has its specific dominant frequencies, and although for British English these are between 2 and 12 kHz, 3 they do not exceed in Spanish kHz, even up to 0 1, which largely explains the difficulty to its correct pronunciation. The procedure is based on the principles of the audiofonologia and the treatment of the voice in real time, and finds its rationale in the following mechanisms of speech: voice can only reproduce what the ear captures perfectly. Modifying listening will modifying also pronunciation of unconscious and natural way. A lasting modification of phonation can be achieved through repeated auditory stimulation. Hexagone presents the Speedlingua program after 9 years of successful implantation in France, Switzerland, Belgium and the USA.UU., counting for their development with the cooperation of linguists and the experience of tens of thousands of students and clients worldwide; among these last we can find employees of Accenture or Renault, but also to the French armed forces and numerous universities. Thus, Hexagone offers in their centers all kinds of courses tailored to the student, with programs tailored to all levels of the framework European reference (MER from A1 to C2).

Hexagone is a centre of language teaching which has a wide range of services, such as individualized training or group for companies or individuals, classes at distance, courses abroad, and so on. His great experience in the sector of the languages has been its best asset since such large companies as MTV, Carrefour, day, BNP Paribas, Renault or Alain Afflelou, rely on them for years. Part of its success is due to the values that always have guided them such as transparency and proximity with its customers, the seriousness and the dedication to his craft that considered a true passion.
