Violence was strategic

Each evening they got to watch China Central Television's 7 o'clock news, featuring whatever the top Rosetta Stone Language leaders did that day. Occasionally they'd get a few pages of the English language China Daily. “I found out that Michael Jackson died from an article that began, 'Since the death of pop icon Michael Jackson last Thursday . . .' and I was like, are they talking about the real Michael Jackson?” Life for foreign detainees can be excruciatingly bland, but not uncivilised. “No torture, no abuse beyond the obvious awfulness of being in a Chinese jail,” says David. George, the Chinese citizen, endured a far more unpredictable and disorienting ordeal. The first few weeks of detention are designed to grind you into submission, he says, with minimal food and no amenities such as toothbrushes, soap or dishwashing water. Up to 18 people were so tightly packed on to the sleeping board that they had to sleep sideways - except for the Language Learning Software "No.1" and his second and third-ranked cell leaders. “When I was sleeping sideways there were three guys sleeping flat on their backs with arms outstretched,” he said. Violence was strategic, rather than arbitrary, and apparently designed to compel co-operation. “There were some who wore electric prod andchain marks, and had been beaten up, but the guards prefer not to,” he says. “They want to keep their quota of inmates moving through smoothly and peacefully.” In George's case there were no lawyers, no information about where detainees were heading or how long for, not even a court order. In the early weeks, there were endless rounds of confessional paperwork and questions apparently designed to assess a detainee's suicide risk and access to wealth. “They build up your case, revising over and over the previous draft, which I didn't even see. I just signed them and gave them a thumbprint,” George says. He only got out after the 60th birthday celebrations of the People's Republic on October 1, when family members Spanish Learning Software finally discovered a hidden “guanxi” (personal connection) through which to pay the requisite bribe. “Some people pay Yuan300,000, others pay 10,000, depending on guanxi,” says George. “We paid 250,000.”

Watson to Tiger: clean up your act

To be precise, it had been brewing ever since a curmudgeonly Woods stood on Turnberry's ninth tee, possibly the most pristine setting in golf, blocked a drive to the right and then proceeded to jam a three-wood into the ground with such force that he scooped out a huge chunk of turf. The Rosetta Stone juxtaposition of Watson, beloved eight-time major champion who came within an inch of winning his second Turnberry Open, and Woods, the misanthropic superstar who missed the cut, did not need to be laboured. Advertisement: Story continues below Tiger Woods ... needs to show more humility. Photo: Getty Images Suffice to say, the elder statesman was less than impressed by junior's desecration of the Ailsa greensward, and wrote him a letter last August to stress the point. "I did write Tiger a note about his behaviour, but it's personal," Watson said at the time. "I don't know whether he received it, and I really don't want to go there." It was the classic language of Watson, expressive of a scolding and yet far from explicit. But then this sage of the Midwest, now 60, has never been shy of voicing opinions about etiquette and assumed that guise again yesterday in Dubai, calling on Woods to make a second public apology for his infidelity. There is a school of thought that Woods, by retreating as far from the public eye as to be invisible, has engineered a brilliant escape act, but Watson is not an adherent. Forget a spectacular re-emergence at the Masters. Watson believes that the world No. 1 cannot, to put it bluntly, sit his sorry backside down on Oprah's sofa fast enough. "I'd come out and Rosetta Stone Chinese do and interview and say, 'I screwed up'," Watson said. "And admit, 'I'm going to change, I want my wife and family back, I have to earn her trust back.' He messed up. He knows he messed up. The world knows he messed up. And he has to take ownership of that." The candour of Watson's words betrayed the frostiness of his relationship with Woods, and the fact that he had little to lose by uttering them. Mark O'Meara, another multiple major winner out in the Gulf, has much greater sympathy with the travails of his absent friend, given that the two live in the same Windermere resort outside Orlando and prepare for each Open with a private few days' practice in Ireland. Not surprisingly, O'Meara has turned down all requests for interviews this week. Watson, however, was not finished, inveighing against Woods for failing to represent the game in the dignified manner demanded of a great champion. It is hard to imagine Jack Nicklaus carving up tee boxes, addressing interviewers as "dude" or "dropping f-bombs." Woods has until now managed to deflect such criticisms by his luminous play, but the unravelling of his mystique has made him vulnerable as never before. "I feel that he hasn't carried the same stature as the other great players that have come along, like Jack Nicklaus, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, in the sense that there was bad language and club-throwing on the golf course," Watson said. "You can grant that to a young person who hasn't been out there for a while, but I think he needs to clean up his act and show the respect for the game that the people before him have shown." These are noble sentiments, rendered more resonant by Watson's enduring stature as a model mentor. His presence at the Dubai Desert Classic, the first European Tour event he has entered since the 1993 German Masters, is a sign both of his thirst for competition and continued relevance. However, it is not Watson's first fusillade against Woods; he said much the same thing in a television interview in his native Kansas City last weekend. For nearly weeks Woods's reputation has been trampled over by every professional Rosetta Stone French within reach of a microphone, leaving a sense that the only person left still speak on the saga of his decline is the man himself.

Nay rises with second swim gold

Last year marked one of the darkest periods in Meagen Nay's life. On Friday, Nay was Rosetta Stone V3 celebrating her swimming career's greatest point after claiming 0m backstroke gold at the Delhi Commonwealth Games. Barely a year after flying home from a meet due to her brother's tragic death, Nay (2:07.56) held out England's Elizabeth Simmonds (2:07.90) and Australia's Emily Seebohm (2:.28) to grab her second gold of the Games. Advertisement: Story continues below There was plenty to celebrate - she set a new Commonwealth Games record to oust the reigning European champion Simmonds. Her joy over her stunning win on Games debut was in stark contrast to her poolside body language last year. In July , Nay was told her brother Amos had been killed in a car accident. Showing great strength, Nay still went out and swam in the 4x100m freestyle relay heats at the Rome world championships. But soon after she left for her brother's funeral. The tragic Rosetta Stone Latin America Spanish situation was made even more devastating by the fact her father - 1972 Olympian Robert - was also killed in a Gold Coast crash, when she was four. But nothing could wipe the smile off Nay's face on Friday after she was cheered on to victory by her mother and two sisters. "It was crazy. I managed to walk away with two gold medals from my first Commonwealth Games," Nay beamed. "I knew that my dad and my brother were definitely pushing me through that. "It's kind of proof that you can come out the other side and I'm so glad that my family is here tonight to share it with me. "Yeah, it's a dream come true." It was her first individual gold medal but she had also chimed into the winning 4x0m freestyle relay team in Delhi. Nay - who also broke the Games record during the semis - clocked a final time that was just outside her PB (2:07.41) and the fifth fastest of the year. The event also continued Seebohm's happy knack of collecting medals. She now has one gold, two silvers and two bronze on Games debut. National champion Belinda Hocking (2:.01) was fourth, a disappointing result after she arrived in Delhi with 0m Pan Pacs silver. "I pushed off the last wall and watched my turn and could see that she (Simmonds) was a little bit ahead of me and I knew that I had a pretty good last 50," Nay said. "So I just Rosetta Stone Arabic worked it and could kind of see her catching me but then the last 25 I just put my head down and kicked as hard as could."

By the book

Mia Wasikowska stars as the title character in Jane Eyre. There are a spate of literary Rosetta Stone Software adaptations at the cinema this year. But the journey from page to screen is a troubled one. In the course of their famous book-length interview, Francois Truffaut once asked Alfred Hitchcock about his approach to literary adaptation. Hitch's response was as magisterial, worldly and mischievous as one would expect: "What I do is to read a story only once, and if I like the basic idea, I just forget all about the book and start to create cinema. Today I would be unable to tell you the story of Daphne du Maurier's The Birds. I read it only once, and very quickly at that." When it comes to films adapted from literary sources, 99 times out of 100 I'm with Hitchcock. Draw up one of those faintly ludicrous but fascinating lists of the greatest novels, and then do the same for movies. Do they match up? Of course not. James Joyce's Ulysses might well be on the first list, but Joseph Strick's Ulysses (1967) certainly won't make the second. Pride and Prejudice could possibly be on the first, but neither Robert Z. Leonard's nor Joe Wright's adaptations will make the second. And none of these examples is a travesty, exactly, although recent film history is littered with examples of good novels transformed into outright disasters. Captain Corelli's Mandolin and The Bonfire of the Vanities spring immediately to mind. Looking a little more closely at Hitchcock's remark will give us a clear explanation of why. The question Truffaut asked specifically was whether Hitchcock would ever consider making a screen adaptation of a great novel such as Crime and Punishment. The director said: "Well, I shall never do that, precisely because Crime and Punishment is somebody else's achievement. And even if I did, it probably wouldn't be any good." Advertisement: Story continues below "Why not?" Truffaut asked. "Well, in Dostoevsky's novel there are many, many words and all of them Rosetta Stone Language have a function." "You mean that theoretically," Truffaut prompted. "A masterpiece is something that has already found its . . . definitive form." "Exactly," Hitchcock answered. "And to really convey that in cinematic terms, substituting the language of the camera for the written word, one would have to make a six to 10-hour film. Otherwise, it won't be any good." The point may seem obvious, but it holds good. Any two-hour feature film which attempts to render, in cinematic terms, the full complexity of a serious novel-length work of fiction is almost certainly doomed. That's why some of the most satisfying screen adaptations have been television serialsfrom the definitive 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice to the one that looms over them all, the 1981 Granada adaptation of Brideshead Revisited, which allowed itself a luxurious 659 minutes to portray the novel's 350 or so pages. So are there rare celluloid exceptions, occasions when a demonstrably fine literary work has been adapted into an equally fine piece of cinema? Could such prodigies really be so hard to find? Looking at this year's most high-profile releases, it's striking how often filmmakers turn still to the contemporary or recent novel for material. We have had films based on, Graham Rosetta Stone Korean Greene's Brighton Rock, Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, Mordecai Richler's Barney's Version, and True Grit by Charles Portis.

Nigerian rights groups say police denied them permission to stage a protest in support of Egyptians demanding that President Mubarak step down. The United States should not fear engaging Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood as it is crucial to support people's choices in the Islamic world, Malaysia's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim says. AFP correspondent Dave Clark, who is coordinating coverage in the Cairo bureau today, did a similar job in Abidjan a few weeks ago, while everyone waited to see whether Ivory Coast?s Laurent Gbagbo would take the hint and step down as president, after Rosetta Stone Software elections which the world said were won by his opponent.

You don’t need to lo too long

The other day while working with a group of managers on Rosetta Stone Language succession planning and development, background stories emerged that hinted at the question: Are leaders born or made? Nature vs. nurture is a persistent debate regarding the source of leadership. Managers, academics, and consultants all have views about which contributes more to making good leaders -- genes or experience. One study (Arvey et al, 2007) loed at twins and found that the split was 30% genetics and 70% experience. You don’t need to lo too long before you find a study that concludes there is a different distribution. Most recent studies about the nature vs. nurture debate conclude that at least some degree of whatever they are studying (leadership, parenting, creativity, intelligence, etc.) is attributed to each nature and nurture. , so let’s go with that and not worry about what percentage is which. We could agree that we need to work on both, get good people with good experience, treat them well, and allow them to continue to learn from experience. This is essentially the position the managers ended up with. The group explored the set of attributes that if obtained, would indicate that the candidate had what it takes to be a good leader. The focus of the group was naturally on individuals. I started wondering how relationships are part Learn Arabic of leadership – not just something that leaders make or rely on but that relationships actually create leadership. Since complex systems consist of many diverse, connected, interdependent, and adaptive agents, then it seems like leadership could be viewed as an emergent behavior of the system. In other words, it is the relationships (connections) and quality of those relationships (interdependence) that actually creates leadership. When some groups, teams, and companies exhibit more or less (better or worse) leadership, it may be due more to the nature of the relationships than the nature of the individuals. How they interact and the patterns of interaction may be more important than who they are. The implications of this notion that leadership is in the relationship are many. For example, if you don’t like the leadership exhibited, then one intervention would be to change the relationships. The diagram below is the interaction pattern of a group of managers that were responsible for part of a large company. We asked the group to state how often the interacted with each other, monthly, weekly, daily. The graph Language Learning Software below depicts their weekly plus daily interactions. What they noticed was that some of their cultural differences within the group and lack of overall cohesion was explained by the structure of the interaction network.

This includes the brain

Interestingly lactose tolerance increases as you moth further north. Give the absence in neolithic Rosetta Stone times its is pretty self-evident that a cultural development (diary farming) resulted in a change in our genes - ecological inheritance and natural selection co-evolved.A lovely phrase now (origin not remembered) We are hastily made over apes. One reason for this is cultural niche construction, so Darwin wins out over Lamarck. Overall the idea increases the number of feedback loops in the system. Cultural niche construction alters human history, but does not alter our genes. Here we have tools, landscape alternation etc. Environmental change modifies natural selection, for example changes consequent on our use of fire. A variation of 2, but here the genetic changes underpin culture itself. This includes the brain, cognition, language etc.Relevance to contemporary problemsWithout life the Earth would have the same atmosphere as our neighbouring planets. In the cambrian period we see Ediagaran niche construction in which early plant forms modify the environment enabling the cambrian explosion. In turn that results on a Cambrian niche construction which enables the change seen in the Ordovician age and so on.In effect niche construction modifies the carrying capacity of our environment, it can Rosetta Stone Software support more life. While standard evolution seeks this limit (K) as an exogenous variable, in niche construction it is also endogenous. Economists make similar assumptions.Now to the interesting bit, the diagram to the left indicates the way in which we can use our cultureNow to the interesting bit, the diagram to the left indicates the way in which we can use our culture. By focusing on markets as the sole regulatory mechanism we either create monopoly or the tragedy of the commons A wonderful closing side, with this simple, complex and critical phrase:Non-rivalrous, low excludability setting (low competition) have significant positive feedback effects in ecosystems facilitating rapid expansion of diversity, they change the K value.I doubt if there is any more important message around at the moment and one wonders if any economist will have the guts to take it up. The Grameen bank is an example and there are others, but the ideology of our current cultural niche may reduce rather than increase K with catastrophic consequences. As John says Biologists can't get through to main stream economists who are talking to Government.An hour of discussion follows, many and varied in nature. I ask about political and ideological niches and if they impact genetics, the answer is we don't know enough, but that conversation carries on over dinner looking at US and European differences, education and many other subjects. I also suggest (and gain agreement) that during periods of uncertainty the boundary between metaphor and reality blurs. I'll pick up on that in a future blog.So what is the IBM PC link? Well its an example of the earthworm, a fundamentally flawed product suborns Rosetta Stone Greek its ecology to satisfy its deficiencies.

Generating ideas like wildfire

One of the areas we explored at some length in the recent practitioner conversation Rosetta Stone Language in Melbourne, related to the skills and capabilities of facilitators AND participants needed to engage with Cognitive Edge tools and processes. One of the potential pitfalls is assuming that an intellectual understanding of the key ideas and concepts will translate easily into a capacity to apply the methods. This - is in my experience a common failing .. |whether implementing a more expert system such as quality control, or business process re engineering. All of the research shows that adults learn by doing “ and yet the dominant approach to learning remains cognitive rather than experiential. The collective wisdom of those gathered in Melbourne developed the following lists |.which will form the basis of further exploration and conversation.Individual capabilities to design and run processes Behavioural awareness Conversation,/inclusive focus Leading through hands off Political savvy “ ego management Engagementresence/ awareness of personal impact Complex facilitation and differences with other approaches Supporting Individual capabilities- for participants Language Learning Software especially in probe design Thinking tools Taking risks “ personal resilience Collaboration/trust building what if possibilities/options “ dealing with unintended consequences decision makingroblem solving relational skills Evolution does not require one thing to kill off another, they can happily bumble along in a messy way for a period of time, opening up new possibilities. Natural selection is a powerful process, but it is constrained by messy tradeoffs both internal and external. The idea that unconstrained markets can solve economic issues is a mistaken view of evolution. Ideas don't just defuse by contagion, there has to be an underlying cognitive process to make it possible. The Toyota KanBan system can be understood as a conceptual blend of Ford's linear production and a supermarket. Generating ideas like wildfire at this point for new innovation methods. If we isolate the traits of any system at a fine grained level then we should be able to blend for coherence to create novel forms in a purposeful way (Cognitive Edge innovation methods will get refreshed from today). Importance of modularity (I argue objects is a better phrase) for blending and innovation. Need for some structure for things to move forward. Magnetron developed for radar moves sideways to microwave ovens as an example, its the modules that blend not the underlying concepts. Thinking now of different levels of phases of innovation process that we could institute using SenseMaker. as a clustering device. Function follows form (exaptation), form follows function (adaptation). Two simple statements but a lot of depth there Growth leads to bifurcation, which leads to symmetry breaking so new characteristics emerge Need to live forwards rather than post-rationalise in management science Origami as an example of emergence, paper folding creates multiple forms. Molecules fold to form enzymes, we are all the result of nature playing origami Micro-diversity is key to change Evolution within a sub-system occurs from instability. Either something invades from the outside, or the inside. For advantage to be taken the sub-system must have Japanese Learning Software components that together produce an emergent capability, the environment must reward that capacity and all of this is a definition of synergy Any novel behaviour must start as a single instance A mutation is commonly considered to be either lethal or beneficial, but this does not correspond with reality. It can take many generations to remove deviances, and you loose a lot of good stuff at the same time. Cancer cells change their environment, they are less metabolically efficient that normal cells, so they make the change to gain advantage.

Meeting The World's Leaders - A Letter From Davos

The following is a letter from a reporter whomanaged to get heavy credentials for the Davos conference.It Rosetta Stone software was posted on the Psychohistory bulletin board itappears here on Scoop after being transmitted via SamSmith's indomitable Undernews @http://prorev.com Meeting TheWorld's Leaders This sweet little chaletvillage was during the WEF packed with about 3000 delegatesand press, some 1000 Swiss police, another 400 Swiss soldiers, numerous tanks and armored personnel carriers,gigantic rolls of coiled barbed wire that gracefullycascaded down snow-covered hillsides, missile launchers andassorted other tools of the national security trade. Thesecurity precautions did not, of course, stop there. Everysingle person who planned to enter the conference site hadspecial electronic badges which, upon being swiped across areading pad, produced a computer screen filled colorportrait of the attendee, along with his/her vitalstatistics. These were swiped and scrutinized by soldiersand police every few minutes -- any time one passed througha door, basically. The whole system was connected tohandheld wireless communication devices made by HP, whichwere issued to all VIPs. I got one. Very cool, except whenthey crashed. Which, of course, they did frequently. Thesedevices supplied every imaginable piece of information onecould want about the conference, your fellow delegates,Davos, the world news, etc. And they were emailing devices--- all emails being monitored, of course, by Swiss cops. .. Overall, here is what I learned about the state of ourworld:- I was in a dinner with heads of Saudi and GermanFBI, plus the foreign minister of Afghanistan. They all saidthat at its peak Al Qaeda had 70,000 members. Only 10% ofthem were trained in terrorism -- the rest were militaryrecruits. Of that 7000, they say all but about 200 are deador in jail.- But Al Qaeda, they say, is like a brandwhich has been heavily franchised. And nobody knows howmany unofficial franchises have been spawned since9/11.- The global economy is in very very very very badshape. Last year when WEF met here in New York all I heardwas, "Yeah, it's bad, but recovery is right around thecorner." This year "recovery" was a word never uttered.Fear Rosetta Stone Greek was palpable -- fear of enormous fiscal hysteria. The watchwords were "deflation", "long term stagnation" and"collapse of the dollar." All of this is without war.- Ifthe U.S. unilaterally goes to war, and it is anything shortof a quick surgical strike (lasting less than 30 days), theeconomists were all predicting extreme economic gloom:falling dollar value, rising spot market oil prices, the Fedpushing interest rates down towards zero with resultingincrease in national debt, severe trouble in all countries whose currency is guaranteed against the dollar (which isjust about everybody except the EU), a near cessation ofall development and humanitarian programs for poorcountries. Very few economists or ministers of financepredicted the world getting out of that economic funk forminimally five-10 years, once the downward spiralensues.- Not surprisingly, the business community was inno mood to hear about a war in Iraq. Except for diehardAmerican Republicans, a few Brit Tories and some MiddleEast folks the WEF was in a foul, angry anti-American mood.Last year the WEF was a love fest for America. This yearthe mood was so ugly that it reminded me of what it feltlike to be an American overseas in the Reagan years. Therich -- whether they are French or Chinese or just aboutanybody -- are livid about the Iraq crisis primarilybecause they believe it will sink their financial fortunes.Plenty are also infuriated because they disagreeon policy grounds. I learned a great deal. It goes farbeyond the sorts of questions one hears raised bydemonstrators and in UN debates. For example:- If AlQaeda is down to merely 200 terrorists cadres and a handfulof wannabe franchises, what's all the fuss?- The MiddleEast situation has never been worse. All hope for a settlement between Israel and Palestine seems to haveevaporated. The energy should be focused on placing painfulfinancial pressure on all sides in that fight, forcing themto the negotiating table. Otherwise, the ME may Rosetta Stone Hindi V3 wellexplode. The war in Iraq is at best a distraction from thatcore issue, at worst may aggravate it. Jordan's Queen Raniaspoke of the "desperate search for hope."- SeriousIslamic leaders (e.g. the King of Jordan, the Prime Minsterof Malaysia, the Grand Mufti of Bosnia) believe that theIslamic world must recapture the glory days of 12-13th CIslam.

This isa demanding task. It requires action on all sides

Palestinians must fight terror and continue to Rosetta Stone V3 build theinstitutions of a free and peaceful society. Israel mustmake tough sacrifices for peace and ease the restrictions onthe Palestinians. Arab states, especially oil-rich nations,must seize this opportunity to invest aggressively in thePalestinian people and to move past their old resentmentsagainst Israel. And all nations in the region must standtogether in confronting Hamas, which is attempting toundermine efforts at peace with acts of terror and violence.We must stand with the people of Lebanon in theirstruggle to build a sovereign and independent democracy.This means opposing Hezbollah terrorists, funded by Iran,who recently revealed their true intentions by taking uparms against the Lebanese people. It is now clearer thanever that Hezbollah militias are the enemy of a free Lebanon-- and all nations, especially neighbors in the region, havean interest to help the Lebanese people prevail. (Applause.)We must stand with the people of Iraq and Afghanistan andother nations in the region fighting against al Qaeda andother extremists. Bin Laden and his followers have madeclear that anyone who does not share their extremistideology is fit for murder. That means every government inthe Middle East is a target of al Qaeda. And America is atarget too. And together, we will confront and we willdefeat this threat to civilization. We must stand withthe good and decent people of Iran and Syria, who deserve somuch better than the life they have today. Every peacefulnation in the region has an interest in stopping thesenations from supporting terrorism. And every peaceful nationin the region has an interest in opposing Iran's nuclearweapons Rosetta Stone Latin America Spanish ambitions. To allow the world's leading sponsor ofterror to gain the world's deadliest weapon would be anunforgivable betrayal of future generations. For the sake ofpeace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclearweapon. (Applause.) The changes I have discussed todaywill not come easily -- change never does. But the reformmovement in the Middle East has a powerful engine:demographics. Sixty percent of the population is under 30years old. Many of these young people surf the web, own cellphones, have satellite televisions. They have access tounprecedented amounts of information. They see what freedomhas brought to millions of others and contrast that to whatthey have at home. Today, I have a message for theseyoung people: Some tell -- some will tell you change isimpossible, but history has a way of surprising us, andchange can happen more quickly than we expect. In the pastcentury, one concept has transcended borders, cultures, andlanguages. In Arabic, "hurriyya" -- in English, "freedom."Across the world, the call for freedom lives in our hearts,endures in our prayers, and joins humanity as one. I knowthese are trying times, but the future is in your hands --and freedom and peace are within your grasp. Just imaginewhat this region could look like in 60 years. ThePalestinian people will have the homeland they have longdreamed of and deserve -- a democratic state that isgoverned by law, respects human rights, and rejects terror.Israel will be celebrating its 120 anniversary as one of theworld's great democracies -- a secure and flourishinghomeland for the Jewish people. From Cairo, Riyadh,Baghdad to Beirut, people will live in free and independentsocieties, where a desire for peace is reinforced by ties ofdiplomacy and tourism and trade. Iran and Syria will bepeaceful nations, where today's oppression is a distantmemory and people are free to speak their minds and developtheir talents. Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas will bedefeated, as Muslims across the region recognize theemptiness of the terrorists' vision and the injustice oftheir cause. This Rosetta Stone Arabic vision is the same one I outlined in myaddress to the Israeli Knesset. Yet it's not a Jewish visionor a Muslim vision, not an American vision or an Arabvision. It is a universal vision, based on the timelessprinciples of dignity and tolerance and justice -- and itunites all who yearn for freedom and peace in this ancientland. Realizing this vision will not be easy. It willtake time, and sacrifice, and resolve. Yet there is no doubtin my mind that you are up to the challenge -- and with youringenuity and your enterprise and your courage, thishistoric vision for the Middle East will be realized. MayGod be with you on the journey, and the United States ofAmerica always will be at your side. Thank you for havingme.

Degrees for Teaching English as a Second Language

Teaching English as a second language (also referred to as ESL teaching) often involves more Rosetta Stone outlet than just simple language teaching. ESL teachers are in high demand throughout the United States and the world. In order to function in an English-speaking society, ESL speakers must learn to speak, write and read in English, as well as how to communicate mathematical and scient Ific ideas in their non-native tongue. More and more universities are offering ESL teaching degrees and cert Ifications. Bachelor's DegreeThe most common bachelor's degree earned by individuals intending to teach English as a second language is, in fact, a degree in teaching ESL. Many universities offer ESL teaching as a spec Ific major. You can also get a bachelor's degree in education, English, linguistics, any foreign language, multicultural Rosetta Stone Spanish V3 studies or speech. However, a degree spec Ific to ESL teaching will likely open more doors for you as a prospective teacher.Graduate DegreeEarning a master's or doctoral degree in teaching English as a second language can be extremely beneficial, though a graduate degree is not a prerequisite for landing an ESL teaching job. Continuing your education past the undergraduate level will help you expand your knowledge base, and completing a master's or doctoral dissertation can help you formulate your own opinions and ideas about ESL teaching methods and obstacles. Publication of your original work can also lead to opportunities in research positions. Advanced education also qual Ifies you to take on leadership roles in ESL facilities, such as a program directorship, department chair or educational consultant.Teaching Cert IficateMost U.S. schools require that ESL teachers have a bachelor's degree, a teaching cert Ificate and an ESL cert Ification Rosetta Stone English endorsement. Teaching cert Ificates are awarded by colleges and universities to each student who successfully completes her teaching degree at the undergraduate level. Teaching cert Ificates are also sometimes awarded to individuals who complete certain prerequisite coursework without officially obtaining a degree in teaching. The teaching cert Ificate basically indicates that the individual holding it is fully qual Ified to teach.ESL EndorsementEndorsements grant teachers the qual Ification to teach specialized subjects, such as music or language arts. A cert Ificate of ESL endorsement indicates that you are qual Ified to teach English as a second language. ESL endorsements can usually be earned through completing a designated set of coursework that can also be credited toward your undergraduate or graduate teaching degree credit requirements. ESL endorsements can qual Ify you to teach to a certain population, such as K-12 students, or they may be more [ Rosetta Stone Software ] generalized, depending on the requirements and offerings of your particular university.

That effort was ignored

Some people seem to dislike any form of conflict and (to my mind) do Rosetta Stone not understand the necessity of passion in these environments for any idea or knowledge to develop.The inability to turn off the noise in a list serve. I will engage with anyone, but there comes a point where no exchange is taking place. In one case I put about half an hour into writing a “this is how the blogosphere works” to counter nonsensical comparisons of blogs with SPAM. That effort was ignored and after a few exchanges it was evident that the person would say that black was white if it supported their ideological position. Now in the blogosphere I could just turn off the link, in the list serve the material pours in every day.The inability of people to take robust criticism of their ideas without them taking said criticism personally. Now I was trained in formal debating, where you argue for positions with which you may not agree, and to which you may be violently opposed. Some people without that background seem to link a particular statement or belief with their own personal identity, and therefore see all challenge as personal.The danger of all of this (at one extreme) is that avoidance of criticism means that all one is left with is a Rosetta Stone Language breathless extrusion of self serving platitudes (it was too good a phrase not to use). Of course many people enjoy the debate. I have lost count of the times when I have attempted to withdraw from one on the grounds that no one else is joining in, only to received back chat emails saying carry on we are enjoying it. My increasing response to this is then join in, don’t leave it to me. So the lurkers seem to have varying views. The type I actively dislike are the fence sitters for whom, as I said a few days ago impalement is too goodSo back to the title of this blog, and the two quotes. Any community (and a list serve is a form of community) has to decide what its norms are. If it wants to be a comfortable place that supports its members then it should state as such and moderate its interactions. If it wants to be a place of learning and invention then it should embrace debate and welcome the curmudgeon, who refuses to go with the flow and is more than prepared to challenge the dress style of the Emperor. Now my observation is that knowledge management list serves seem to moving towards the former not the latter. This may reflect the increasing decline of KM as a strategic focus for organisations. In effect people are now looking for support for their programmes, rather than exploring a new and dynamic subject. Interestingly the Values and Prediction Markets list serves in which I participate are unmoderated, at times violent, always messy and Rosetta Stone Italian fascinating in consequence. Innovation never came from being nice to people, or confirming with the majority, inventors are cantankerous, passionate and committed. The blogosphere seems to welcome such people, for list serves, the jury is out.

HALF EMPTY TO HALF FULLOK

Even if this statement is true its only go to apply to a very small percentage of the Rosetta Stone Store world. Children will still go down mines and people will die young in manual labour to produce food and resources in an increasingly constrained world. Employers will have to keep some employees happy - they do its called share options and its not producing the desired effect.Goodwin on the science of qualities references the need for a new type of qualitative evaluation and a different type of educationBrian is one of the really good guys and the concept of qualities is important. It was one of the source ideas that we used as we started to develop impact measurement systems based on narrative. However Brian himself says that the change in educational needs is huge and is not going to happen overnight IF IT HAPPENS at all. HALF EMPTY TO HALF FULLOK so lets move from optimism to pessimism. I think Brian is closer than the others. He is not looking for or forecasting some huge change. Rather he is focusing on something that could be done - namely create new measurement techniques.My own work on network government (and thanks for all the contributions which are still coming in - I will Rosetta Stone Language email everyone who ontributed on that ongoing project opefully next week) is saying that (in line with complexity theory) we should not focus on trying to forecast or define a desired end state: idealism. Instead we need to start multiple small experiments on a safe fail basis which offer the prospect of different ways of doing things. That is also in line with Brian's philosophy by the way. Two of these are I think obvious and are progressing, but we need more.Firstly - creating a measurement technique that produces numbers (familiar) but is based on complex behaviour and does not allow gaming would be a major step forward and we hope to announce something on that at the end of the year (current Beta trials are going well) using large volume self indexed narrative as the source. Linking quantitative material to contextual meaning. owever this approach will not work if ualitative judgments are made in the process. The second is to find ways replicating the tructural (a key word here) success of the Grameen Bank (referenced here) in which we focus on stimulating network capability rather than using resource allocation methods based on a false notion of airness and objectivity.So, to the overall subject. I think the knowledge economy is real. I think if it is to succeed we Rosetta Stone Greek will need to change from "scarcity" models to those of "abundance" and if that is to take place we must stop using the language of scarcity (Assets) when we talk about it.

A very confusing thing happened today

Google alert and a few friends pointed to this interesting Rosetta Stone Language post by Harold Jarche. It picks up on on another post by Clay Shirky (I had the great pleasure of spending a day with him and others in New York a few weeks ago) on the collapse of complex business models. Clay's post is excellent but it uses the word complex where I and others involved with complex adaptive systems theory would use complicated. Now that is common, and the analysis and recommendations in Clay's post are spot on (and I will build on them in a future post). Harold made a similar point on language together with recognising that solutions will involve organisational designs based on simple units, connected in a network. I don't fully agree with Harold's suggestion that this type of structure cannot be managed directly, although at a micro-level he is correct. However, that is for another day. The confusing thing was a comment by Stephen Downes. Harold had used my separation (which I derived from reading Cilliers with his wonderful metaphor of an airplane and a mayonnaise) of complex and complicated from the Cynefin framework. Stephen made the valid point that the term complex can stand on its own without Cynefin; in practice when talking about complexity I only use the framework itself in about 50% of cases. But then he goes on to say: I’m inclined not to cite the Cynefin framework until it gets a proper name. ‘Cynefin’? Really, now. I decided to use a probe (sorry to use Cynefin terminology Stephen) and tweeted Downes has no poetry in soul along with the quote. The resulting exchange was more confusing. Stephen understanding protested my comments on the contents of his soul, but having been given the full definition (something he could have obtained from the Language Learning Software Wikipedia article or any published material) said that "the place of your multiple belongings" was meaningless and its use is just a distraction that it obscures rather than clarifies. Notably he failed to answer my question if he was only prepared to accept English names or acronyms. I didn't ask what type of mental model is required to refuse to cite something because you don't like the name; that would have been unfair.I am grateful to Stephen however, he prompted me to write this in the series on the origins of the framework. Now I originally got the idea of the name from the preface to Kyffin WIlliams: The Land and the Sea (Gomer 1998) and these are the words I used in the first article to use the name: Cynefin is a Welsh word with no direct equivalent in English. As a noun it is translated as habitat, as an adjective familiar, but dictionary definitions fail to do it justice. A better, and more poetic, definition comes from the introduction to a collection of paintings by Kyffin Williams, an artist whose use of oils creates a new awareness of the mountains of his native land and their relationship to the spirituality of its people: “It describes that relationship: the place of your birth and of your upbringing, the environment in which you live and to which you are naturally acclimatised.” (Sinclair 1998). It differs from the Japanese concept of Ba, which is a “shared space for emerging relationships” (Nonaka .Konno 1998) in that it links a community into its shared history – or histories – in a way that paradoxically both limits the perception of that community while enabling an instinctive and intuitive ability to adapt to conditions of profound uncertainty. In general, if a community is not physically, temporally and spiritually rooted, then it is alienated from its environment and will focus on survival rather than creativity and collaboration. In such conditions, knowledge hoarding will predominate and the community will close itself to the Japanese Learning Software external world. If the alienation becomes extreme, the community may even turn in on itself, atomising into an incoherent babble of competing self interests.

Making Intelligence Smarter

The need for intelligence, and for a capability within the U.S. government to Rosetta Stone collect, produce, and disseminate it, remains critical. The end of the Cold War will not usher in an age of peace and security. Nor is the need for intelligence eliminated by new sources of open information. There are still important but hard to learn facts about targets---the intentions and capabilities or rogue states and terrorists, the proliferation of unconventional weapons, the disposition of potentially hostile military forces---that can only be identified, monitored, and measured through dedicated intelligence assets. The United States will have to continue to devote significant resources to intelligence if it wants an enhanced capability. The money will be well spent if it improves the effectiveness of diplomatic and military undertakings. Good intelligence cannot guarentee good policy, but poor intelligence frequently contributes to policy failure.This is a principal finding of a report of a Task Force of former government officials, military officers, businessmen, and scholars. This report offers judgments and makes recommendations on some of the most important questions affecting the future of U.S. national security: priorities for intelligence collection, the role of economic intelligence, improving analysis and increasing its impact, the future of clandestine activities, reorganizing the intelligence community, intelligence ties with both the military and law enforcement, and congressional and public oversight.

What about his wife and son, Ringelblum asked

Over the course of the disaster, the purpose of the project -- and Ringelblum's understanding Rosetta Stone of his mission as a historian -- changed. In the early stage of occupation, before anyone suspected the Nazis would carry out mass murder, the aim was to write for future generations of Polish Jewry. Later, as the dimensions of the Final Solution became known, their testimony would be both evidence of the crime and a chronicle of how ghetto inhabitants tried to hang on to some morality in the middle of hell.But Ringelblum never succumbed to what he defined as the ultimate despair: the failure to record what one saw. He wrote while he was starving, he wrote in a crowded underground bunker. He wrote Rosetta Stone Software until the end, literally. In March 1944, after the whereabouts of his bunker outside the ghetto walls were betrayed, the Germans took all 38 Jews hiding there as well as the two Poles who tended to them to Warsaw's Pawiak Prison to be shot. Writer Yekhiel Hirschaut let him know that other Jewish prisoners were intent on trying to save him. What about his wife and son, Ringelblum asked? No, that was not possible. Ringelblum declined the offer.Some of the Oyneg Shabes writers included their own last testaments in the archive. Nineteen-year-old David Graber wrote, "What we were unable to cry and shriek out to the world we buried in the ground." Journalist Gustawa Jarecka, last seen with her two small children on Jan. 18, 1943, being marched toward the death trains, left this behind: "We have nooses fastened around our necks. When the pressure abates Rosetta Stone Portuguese for a moment we utter a cry. Its importance should not be underestimated. Many a time in history did such cries resound, for a long time they resounded in vain, and only much later did they produce an echo."Steinman, author of "The Souvenir," is at work on "The Crooked Mirror: A Conversation With Poland."

Learning German Language From Different Aspects

For example, which method you should choose to learn? Using software or going to school? There are many people choose Rosetta Stone Heew to learn Heew. For another example, you must know that how long you must pay more attention to your learning to gain an effective outcome. Although German is not very difficult for most people, it still is not easy for most beginners. Like any other languages, learning German need you to pay much time as well as much attention to it new words, its grammar, its pronunciation as well as its sentence structure. If only you can pay more attention to this language and learn it hard, you will learn it better.3. In the modern times, it is very necessary for you to make use of some good language software to learn a new language. For example, there are many people who learn Heew language with Rosetta Stone Heew, and they have gained a good result through this way of learning. Of Learn Spain Spanish course, you also can use Rosetta Stone German to learn German as fast as you can.
