Johann Kepler

What it is: really a star, suddenly broke out and extinguished, or is it some other astronomical event, which coincided with the birth of Christ? There are many versions: the explosion of a supernova, the appearance of comets, planets (Jupiter, Saturn and Mars) formed a single line to each other and formed a bright glowing object, called the star of Bethlehem. Or maybe it was just a miracle that defies rational explanation, and that simply believe. All tested hypotheses about the origin of Bethlehem star. The most plausible at first seemed a version of the comet, because it is a celestial body moves slowly against the stars and it seems bright enough spot in the night sky. When checked all the posts for a while, it appeared that if the comet did appear, that before Christ was born.

Was still a version of a supernova explosion, which confirmed 1sitaytsy. Star could explode in about 5 or 4 BC. Oe. But this hypothesis has been debunked by later studies. But there are also version of the parade of planets, which took place exactly when Jesus was born German astronomer Johann Kepler (XVII cent.) Watching as something of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and saw that they stood in a line, and after a few months of "nearby" supernova flared up.

Kepler originally thought that it gave rise to an explosion of the planet, and later, his signing the wrong, suggested that similar, ie parade of planets and the sudden appearance of a new star could happen at Christmas in Bethlehem. Scientists now and continue to guess, trying to explain the phenomenon Star of Bethlehem. Nevertheless, Kepler's conjecture parade of planets – the most suitable explanation for this phenomenon. It might look like this: Venus (possibly Mercury), Jupiter, Saturn, Regulus and the star (the constellation Leo), as it were touched and formed a huge star. Symbolically this is the background of a scene of worship of the Magi. Many paintings show two kings, who are waiting for their turn, while the third kneels in front of the knee baby. The first two – Saturn and Jupiter, and the third – Mercury. So, on the night of Jesus' birth was in heaven, three planets and one of them was in the constellation Leo (Mercury), to meet and greet the birth of the Lord. Now, in Europe, when read in planetarium lectures on the Birth of Christ, be sure to set the picture of the sky, which corresponds to the sky, which was more than two thousand years ago, and watching the visual contact of Jupiter and Saturn. Although the church and believers Star of Bethlehem – is primarily a symbol, not an astronomical phenomenon, so guessing is not appropriate. To believe in miracles, do not look for its origins.

Excellence

I have a friend, he was always different, always one – alone with his thoughts, but communicated with him, you realize what Group differences he attributed the team. He is very smart, he is studying a program in advance, he knows, apparently, all … He is always praised, he is always in the forefront – Excellence in IT. In schools today, this phrase may sound like a death sentence. Excellence – it means 'bot', 'bot' – so boring, boring – hence can not be friends. Chip Bergh may find this interesting as well. However, talking with him, you begin to understand how it is interesting, what a rich inner world as he knows how to make friends. He was certainly very difficult, He, of course, would be very happy if he was accepted into society. But change myself, change their outlook and goals he did not intend to.

Who is right? Everyone thinks differently. Take, for example, the subculture. Pseudo sect tell you. No, jump to conclusions is not worth all these subcultures also formed due to misunderstanding by simply united in small groups – so it's easier to cope with loneliness – it is easier to live. Yes, there are as peaceful and fairly aggressive flow, but they have source of one – lack of understanding.

Suicides – this too, but we did not think that the mind of those whom we do not want to understand – we just care about it. And let the EMO show that they have going on in soul, they strangely dressed, often crying, but we instead understand them, continue to support them and sometimes condemn themselves sum up the people on the edges of balconies and serve them the rope and soap … Of course, the easiest thing in our time to merge with the 'gray mass', to be part of that is no different from others, withdraw the stereotypes of society and eventually become a nobody.

Newborns And Fathers

The usual hospital practice adopted in many countries, excludes the father from the stereotype of the early interaction with your child. Nevertheless, new scientific observations as well as growing interest in home birth, alter the traditional neglect of the role of the father. Observation of the behavior of his father taking an active part in the birth and early contact with the child led to the emergence of the term 'vsepogloschenie' to describe the powerful, the powerful impact of the newborn to his father. Behavioral responses of his father in such cases, strikingly identical to the reactions of the mother. In some experiments, monitored the reaction of parents in response to screams and the sounds issued by the child, in three situations: the mother and child, the father of the child and both parents with a child. It turned out that her mother often responds to the cry of the child touches the father in a situation of one-on-one with the child often begins talk to him, and at a rapid pace, and finally, when the baby cries in the presence of the father and mother, the father twice as likely to take the baby in her arms, talking to him, gently touching, although much less frequently than the mother; smiles at him. Thus, in a situation of interaction between the family, the father is clearly a more active role than was assumed earlier, when he was stereotypically been assigned to a passive observer. Results of numerous observations suggest that, if in the first days after birth fathers had contact with him "eye to eye 'total for an hour, and only twice during those days dressed him, then after three months they showed a much more caring behavior towards the child than fathers who did not have access to the child in the early days. Of all of the above begs the logical conclusion – not only the mother but the father should stay with the child after birth for a more rapid and lasting establishment of mutual affection.

When to start preparing for school? Who should do it? What to teach the child to school? Some believe that the need to start preparing the child from the age of three, the rest – a year before entering school. But in general the whole pre-school life child – this is preparation for school. The most important thing – do not go to extremes. Do not overdo it with activities, instilling pre-aversion learning. Campbell Soup Co has similar goals. But do not let things take their course, feeding hope, say, a kindergarten teacher. Topics more, if you chose the school, admission to which is akin to competition in the prestigious university. Evaluate the development of future first-graders can be yourself or consult a child psychologist. Specific tests for the diagnosis school readiness in our time are readily available, are sold in many bookstores.

But a technique taken separately does not allow to fully assess all aspects of the formation of the child. Yet such a test would indicate over what is more work before September 1.

Preparing Kids For School

It has become very common to carry out targeted training a child to school. When schools organize courses of different duration from 2mesyatsev to 2 years. In kindergartens conducted annual testing identify the level of child development, including the preparedness of the child to school. We must not forget that in kindergarten, there are programs on which the process of teaching children. And if the children have the right motivation and interest in new knowledge, his success did not take long. Very often we hear the question: "And if need all sorts of courses for preschool children?" To answer the question, one must first have the idea that children should be able to.

Properly motivate the child to school. What is the school, what to study? The school provides the knowledge, enables the child to communicate with both peers and with adults. For a child school – it's the same job, where he work, gain new knowledge. Children need to ask who they want to be, why? Is it possible to live without working and not studying? Improper motivation, for example, it would be: news backpack, getting good grades in school. In schools and kindergartens have psychologists, speech therapists, who help the child and parents get the hang of the new role. If you're parents, you see that your child has problems such as bad memory, can not sit still when you're doing with it, consult a psychologist and take their advice. Perhaps the kindergarten teacher, can you suggest on what problem should still work with the child. In principle, the knowledge that a child receives at birth in the family, the garden of his environment to study in ordinary schools is sufficient.

Why the child is not ready for school. 1. This is the fault of parents. In our country as a opened to shift the responsibility to teachers, educators.

American School

My son is in 7th grade. He was 14 years old. We left Russia for over a year ago. I remember how we came to say goodbye to his English teacher. We waited for the lesson in the hallway outside the door with flowers and small gifts. The teacher came out in tears. Matters of discipline in the Russian schools are assigned to teachers. I think this is a huge problem is only getting worse with each passing year.

But what about here in America? Our school is usually free. Children from 5 to 8 class. This is the most restless age. After weeks of study, I asked my son what he loves most. He said: "All are very friendly and quiet. Both teachers and pupils.

'How is this achieved? First – this is a very strict discipline. All data on the student entered into the computer. Each teacher has a laptop instead of a cool magazine. By the way the classes in our understanding here. Gerald Weissmann, MD pursues this goal as well. Each student chooses the items that he wants to learn. For each student prepared a separate schedule for the math lesson, he can be alone with his disciples, and in English with others. Strictly regulated very much. You can not bring a portfolio to class, only the necessary folder Pencils … Everyone has a closet with a password. It leaves clothes and portfolios. If you forgot something, the teacher can allow to go and take, but it gives a special pass. Such omissions may be 5 for the entire year. If someone breaks discipline in the classroom, the teacher sends him to the office. Office staff call parents and arrange them any problems. At the same time in the classroom can walk, sharpen pencils, quiet talk while doing, read their book, when finished, look for something interesting on the Internet all the gaps and lessons captured robot computer calls in the evening at the home phone and announces entry. Here there are funny stories. That is, first of all there is a clear set of defined rules that can not be broken. And a clear sequence of actions when something is broken. Parents and children learn this at the beginning of the school year and sign documents. If these are not help. then the student is transferred to a special class. That is, children with the most free country – the non-free section of the population. But most interesting is that this 'policing' karttina very interesting to be diluted. You can be naughty with teachers, when it is allowed. About once a month you can pay $ 1 in the office and bring in players. Teachers in this day leave time in the classroom to listen to music. There are funny today. In one day you can come in funny hats and caps, the other day – at home slippers, in the third – fan t-shirts. And not only students but also teachers participate in these jokes. A teacher of mathematics, for example, loves to appear in those days at home slippers with cats Garfield. As I see it. All should be in balance. And the brutal seriousness and self-indulgence. This dilutes the power allowed by overindulgence. Children here are very polite and dobrozhelatelnye.Kak and indeed adults.
