How Long For Keratitis To Heal?

" Growth " University of Almería

The main purpose is to give your mind more information or belief, or try to convince you of something, but about a change of consciousness, namely waking up, recognizing the ego with his way of thinking, speaking and act, in addition to the groups conditioned mental processes that perpetuate the state of numbness and then de-identified.
Unhappiness and negativity are a disease on our planet. They are everywhere, not just in places where people do not have enough, but even more where people have more than necessary. Is not it amazing? No. The developed world is more deeply identified with form, more trapped in ego and not living the present moment.
addition to addressing the above topics will be given practical tools for the awakening of consciousness can be effectively through access to now and the inside knowledge through the use of different techniques of meditation, mindfulness and other meditation practices.

Although it may seem, these paragraphs do not come from one of those programs that generate randomly, grand but empty text content. Or, well, maybe it comes from one of these programs. Anyway, are the words with which the University of Almería (which makes its debut on our list) presents the second edition of his personal growth course. Techniques for the Development of Full Consciousness (Mindfulness): Physical and Psychological Health.



What what is it? Good question. At first glance looks like a hodgepodge of mystical crap. And in second and further hearings ... as well. See if the course syllabus:




To develop such substantial issues, the University has had the valuable collaboration of a group of experts including, as explained in the course brochure (pdf ) characters are a Venerable Tibetan Lama, a Shaman from Peru or "Master Course in Miracles and creative Introd." A guarantee of ... well, a guarantee.

Finally, anyone is free to spend the 250 euros that is the course on it or what you damn well (another thing that is ethically acceptable for a public university program such a thing, of course). But if you want to checkout, I gladly offer a sample cheaper and certainly much deeper than Eastern wisdom and these things. Enjoy it.

music in class, giving


Music is another important aspect in language classes and also all know how well you spend with her. There are many possibilities and related activities, but another possibility for use and exploitation is shared, as we do with our friends or acquaintances: recommend, suggest, knowing through SICA Ú. M.

currently have many gaps in the network we offer music online, or download it without anger or companies copyright. Some of them are: Deezer , Spotify , Last.fm, Grooveshark, Jamendo ... In most cases it is not necessary to sign up, but the benefits and opportunities to be a user gives spacious.


But how can we use in the classroom or in our online spaces?, See:
• lists recommendations as weekly or monthly to let you know English music
create a list spotify or GrooveShark and then hung in our Facbook or blogs.
• List of songs that we used in class.
• Propose that present to the class group activity is a list of songs English and talk about the selection.
The truth is that it gives enough play and help unite the group and share knowledge through songs or artists. And always be the "guateques" in our schools.
As for music we have the options for watching videos in class or use them in our social network, blog, googlesites ... For Therefore, it is helpful to have a channel (one account) or Dailymotion YouTube, which have accommodated all the videos that we use for our classes and so students can access them and have them located (and if we are organized by themes or levels, much better) on a single channel, which if wish you can subscribe.
As Huxley said: "After silence, which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music." Notice the can.

The University of Cordoba and the strange case of "Bunker method"

Anyone with some experience in the world of pseudoscience feel some alarm when meeting with a statement like this:



And that is exactly the first thing one encounters when visiting the web the so-called "Bunker Method" of training for rescue dogs. That and a lots of pictures and references to the many merits of its creator (and owner of the page), who included no less than "official Biography", which the alarms start to sound deafening.


In fact it is very difficult to evaluate one such method. Indeed, a look at the "introduction " published by the website itself again bring to mind many of the characteristics pseudoscience. Such prestigious organizations as the Organisation Rettungshunde Internationale, the American Rescue Dog Organisation or the American Kennel Club not seem to have even heard of the method. And in our country, opinions are divided, basically, between the excitement of ... Well, the creator of the method one hand, and criticism a specialized forum on the other. In fact, in view of what counts from Mexico Andrew Tonini, that the "Method Chest" has all the earmarks of being something like a GT-200 canine version. So it's

as little surprise that the University of Córdoba will provide an introductory course Chest Method endowed with 3.5 points of free choice.


Admittedly dress like this does not look like much. Come on, seems so peripheral, so little academic, as announced a course on copyright Czech cinema in the sixties and the various ways to prepare and taste the white garlic, right? There is an official recognition, right? For

do not know, but it seems. In the note published by the University (though what he says and how he says it reminds suspiciously like the contents of the official website of the method) we read that


Córdoba University will carry out projects research and development in the field of ethology after the signing of an agreement between the rector José Manuel Roldán and Jaime Parejo, creator of Chest method for the use of it in relation to matters of Ethology and Animal Protection which taught in undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Córdoba.

Chest
The method is considered a revolutionary scientific system for training and intervention canine search teams, which has increased the rescue of persons in disaster having been recognized as the first scientific research prize awarded by the Royal Canine Society of Spain or the Certificate of Distinction Award from the United Nations Sasakawa.


course that's nothing compared to what it says your web method (emphasis added):


from 13 to 17 December 2010, will be given officially at the University of Cordoba, the institution is, the first course "Introduction to the Arcon Method, training and intervention system for Canine Search Teams and Detection."

This course, carefully selected and officially approved , fell within the macro-area of \u200b\u200bexperimental science, seen as theoretical and practical teaching in the course of Ethology, Animal Protection and Ethnology of the Veterinary Curriculum at the University of Córdoba and has a duration of 50 hours of theory and practice (5 credits), face, spread over 5 days.


And all this, well, pales next to what this significant (and in some ways to chilling) commented on the note by the University :

I am proud to be ARCONIANA, is beautiful to give our contribution to humanity with the rescue


Come which apparently is true that this whole "Method Chest" is a recognized progress for humanity. What is unclear is which way is forward.

The College of Physiotherapists of doublethink

The great George Orwell defined doublethink

as the power of holding two contradictory opinions simultaneously, two opposing beliefs simultaneously housed in the mind.

I do not know if this is the case of the Official College of Physiotherapists of Andalusia, but it is a benevolent way to see the case: the order should be true after all doing what they do.

What do they do? Well, first let's take a look at this interesting new :


do not have to be left eye on the screen. I transcribed the most interesting plays:

Physiotherapists courses denounce the proliferation of 'health' without recognition or academic validity.
The College of Physiotherapists of Andalusia has launched an information campaign to alert citizens about the no validity of courses in different institutes, academies and even gyms and sports centers Andalusian similar content that are taught in Physiotherapy colleges but legally without enabling students to treat ailments or injury to any patients or clients.
Specifically, physiotherapists have complained to the provincial service centers consumption "Kiros", "Shaman", "Praxis", "Orthos", "CEMETC", "Aquafor", "ESEN" " Avalon "," Osteomed "and" Hufeland ", among others, for alleged misleading and lead to possible errors by students about the validity of the courses offered, because, contrary to the Decree 175/1993 requires of 16 November, do not indicate in their advertising that course is not recognized by authorities (Ministry or Ministry of Education) as official teachings (...).
's no validity of these courses means that the College of Physiotherapists, defending the health of citizens, shall take appropriate legal measures against those who use the lessons taught in these and other similar centers for treatment of injuries and ailments of patients, warns Villafaina.
In this sense, the College of Physiotherapists has put his legal team available to potentially affected of these courses to launch complaints and legal action necessary to defend the rights of consumers.

The news is supplemented by the notice published by the College explaining all that, it's this one here:


well as several newspaper clippings and, most interestingly, a list of titles that can be found pdf here.

So far so good, right? Come on, it was time for someone, even a professional association acting in the interests of their members, would take care to put some order in the matter of bogus degrees, right?

Well, yes, that's fine. What is not so well is that on the same site of the College we are with things like this :

Or

in training section (the link points to capture the web made at the time of this writing) we offer things how are you:

- OFF POINT TRIGGERS WITH NEEDLES AND CORRELATIONS BETWEEN CHINA AND MEDICINE myofascial chains:



- ACUPUNCTURE FOR RATIONAL PHYSIOTHERAPISTS :



- Course Kinesio Taping "Kinesio" :



- NUTRITION AND TREATMENT OF DISEASES Orthomolecular Medicine MUSCULOSKELETAL AND RHEUMATIC :



- MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE:




Etcetera, etcetera. Courses that have exactly the same legal (not to mention the scientist) that the College report. That is: no. In fact, the only noticeable difference between them is that the complaint about the College and others approves payment, yes, the generous fees that details the rules college (which can be found in this word document ).


Anyway, as you can see is a textbook case of doublethink . And that's being generous when describing him, right?

Blogs coordinated singing in the classroom through

One aspects that is sometimes questioned the blog in its educational use is its verticality, the fact that the writing and production is in that direction and in most cases by individual authorship, collaborative blogs are a minority in the network, although trends can change with practice. Anyway, you can break the verticality of blogs not only through the collaboration in writing but through good coordination of classroom blogs. I show a chart explaining the collaborative work, then move on to explain:



As we see in the image can be obtain a broader and more varied performance of the blogs if orient the work towards a production 2.0 both collaborative and authentic language. Taking the position of an action-oriented approach as noted by the CEFR and we set out to create activities that students will see real results and the like in the example I will develop to benefit from its implementation and commissioning in practice.
The practical example: The teacher's blog or in the classroom, the blue blog listed on the chart, speaks to students at the bars (in this case of Seville) , of sociability through of them, the familiarity of the waiters, etc, etc ... In this text will be proposed to students who choose a bar in Seville and a tapa or two caps to recommend it. The professor offered an example of a bar and a lid, such as blog comment. They will do so through the comments. They explain that the final task will be scheduled several tapas tours and do a little culinary guide in Seville. For all this, students should make an entry in their individual blogs that have selected bar, explaining why recommend this bar, having to describe what the bar, the atmosphere and the food.
In class, read the blog entries and will be discussed to develop the various routes of tapas, that if the organization of the cultural program allows, may be made by students of the school. In the tapas tours may take pictures and videos be uploaded to the blog.
same class will work on developing a culinary guide to the recommendations that have been proposed. This document is available in class or through GoogleDocs. Once the wording and layout with photos and new comments will be posted on the blog again and role in the school for disposal of all.
All these tasks 2.0 give a lot of satisfaction to both students and potential outcomes of their activities in class or at home, both individually and collectively.
Therefore, throughout this work, has been given to multi-use blog: vertical writing entries on their own blogs, reticular to be all blogs connected and, finally, horizontal in the development of various collaborative text generated as a final task. It would be like a blog-wiki-redsolcial.
But the use of blogs in education is not always desirable, it all depends on the type of student who will work with this tool. Perhaps the student profile is the best mold intensive courses, semester or yearly, either submerged or not. I believe that the outcome with intensive students, which are frequently used in immersion, those who are half a month in schools or language centers, given the performance of individual blogs too low for the effort and time has to get used to this type of work.
