What Is Waldorf Education?

August 10, 2012     No comments

Bourne, MA (PRWEB) October 3, 2005

Attendees at the Waldorf School of Cape Cod?s upcoming Grades Open House on October 20 will have the opportunity to learn what, when, why, and how Waldorf curriculum is taught to students in grades 1 through 8.

The school?s faculty will make several presentations on topics ranging from ?Moving Gently into Reading? and ?Concrete to Abstract Mathematics? to ?The Role of Music and Art in Waldorf Education? and ?Cows and French Grammar.?

Developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf education is based on a developmental approach that addresses the needs of the growing child and maturing adolescent. Waldorf teachers strive to transform education into an art that educates the whole child-?the heart and the hands, as well as the head.

Elementary and middle school students learn through the guidance of a class teacher who stays with the class ideally for eight years.

Waldorf Education recognizes and honors the full range of human potential. It addresses the whole child by striving to awaken and ennoble all the latent capacities. The children learn to read, write, and do math; they study history, geography, and the sciences. In addition, all children learn to sing, play a musical instrument, draw, paint, model clay, work with wood, speak clearly, act in dramatic productions, think independently, and work harmoniously and respectfully with others. The development of these various capacities is interrelated. For example, both boys and girls learn to knit in the first grade. Acquiring this basic and enjoyable human skill helps them develop manual dexterity, which–after puberty–will be transformed into an ability to think clearly and to ?knit? their thoughts into a coherent whole.

Preparation for life includes the development of the well-rounded person. Waldorf education has as its ideal a person who is knowledgeable about the world and human history and culture, who has many varied practical and artistic abilities, who feels a deep reverence for and communion with the natural world, and who can act with initiative and in freedom in the face of economic and political pressures.

There are many Waldorf graduates of all ages who embody this ideal and who are perhaps the best proof of the efficacy of Waldorf education.

Although the Grades Open House event is designed specifically with prospective parents in mind, educators and others interested in learning more about Waldorf education are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The event will be held at the school from 4:00-6:00pm. The event is suitable for adults only.

Founded in 1984, the Waldorf School of Cape Cod is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and serves more than 150 children each year in its parent-child, preschool, kindergarten, and grades programs. The school is located in the historic Coady building at 85 Cotuit Road in Bourne, Massachusetts.

To obtain further information about the school, contact the school?s Enrollment Director, Meredith Hunnibell, at 508-759-7499 or visit the school?s web site at http://www.waldorfschoolofcapecod.org.

i-hairloss.com Releases a Guide to Male Hair Loss

August 10, 2012     No comments

(PRWEB) October 26, 2005

According to i-hairloss.com, male hair loss occurs because of a hormone imbalance. The medical term for male-pattern baldness is Androgenetic Alopecia. Androgen refers to any of the many hormones that control the appearance and development of masculine traits. An example is testosterone. Genetic refers to heredity, the inheritance of genes from either the mother or father. Alopecia simply means hair loss. So we could say that male hair loss occurs because of male hormones affected by genetic inheritance.

DHT (testosterone and 5-alpha-reductase) is a naturally occurring hormone that helps in sexual development. Genetic switches in certain men after puberty cause changes in hair follicles; specifically androgen receptor sites on the follicles that regulate healthy hair growth. As DHT levels increase as men age, binding at the follicle receptor sites increases.

As i-hairloss.com explains, men lose their hair in different ways based on their genetic predisposition. Male hair loss usually involves receding at the temples, loss on the top of the head, and thinning over large areas. These patterns are identified on something called the “Norwood scale,” which classifies different types of hair loss.

World?s 1st Sex Ed Manual for Parents

August 10, 2012     No comments

(PRWEB) October 27, 2005

Dr. Amit Jain, Spiritual Psychologist from India has just released his new ebook: ?World?s 1st Sex Ed Manual for Parents ? How to Raise Sexually Responsible Kids? at http://www.papadontpreach.net.

Fact: Children around 4 to 5 years old are becoming curious about sex. Yet even at 14 or later their need for this information about sex do not get fulfilled as a recent research survey for Bliss Magazine revealed ? 70% UK teens want more information about love and sex.

The situation in US and other countries is no different. Consider this fact, ?In spite that there are fewer unplanned teenage pregnancies now than there were 10 years ago, One Million American teenagers will still experience an unplanned pregnancy this year, and one in four sexually active teens will still become infected with a sexually transmitted disease(STD).?

We all are aware of the problem since we lived with it. And we all know the solution ? early sex education. There is total harmony among experts that sex education should start as early as when a child is about 4-5 years old.

Who will do it that has been a subject of contention. Dr. Jain says, ?As parents we are the first teachers of our children appointed by God Himself. Should we leave a subject as important and sensitive as sex for only Schools to handle??

But the problem is that we parents don?t know how to talk about sex to our children without feeling ashamed or embarrassed. We parents are afraid that we will say too much, or that we will frighten, or embarrass our children and ourselves when talking about sexuality. The parent?s dilemma has been:

1.????What to tell the child and When? How much to tell?

2.????How to tell without making them lose their innocence and without getting embarrassed?

3.????How to teach them difference between love, romance and sex?

4.????How to canalize their sexual impulses in creative pursuits?

After facing this dilemma himself as a parent, Dr. Jain stumbled on a masterpiece by Mrs. Margaret H. Sanger, ?What Every Mother Should Know?. Here was an excellent way to teach small kids about sex without hurting their innocence. After editing the book and adding a lot of new information, putting together 7 books and reports in all, Dr. Jain released it in an ebook form for the benefit of worldwide parents, their children and teenagers as a complete sex education manual, which can be downloaded for immediate reading at http://www.papadontpreach.net.

The first book teaches 4-8 year olds about sexuality as a natural part of their existence. The second book talks more about the anatomy and puberty issues faced by pre-teens and teens. And thus in all the 7 books cover all the aspects of sexuality, love and puberty in a progressive manner.

This manual has addressed all the issues faced by parents on this subject, making it very easy to educate the children about sex, love and puberty without feeling embarrassed, instead, it increases the closeness, respect and love between parents and their children.

And Dr. Jain advises the parents, ?The more early they will start teaching their kids about sex the lesser embarrassment they will feel. But as the kids grow up and their questions about sex and reproduction are ignored by parents, the kids start thinking that there is something weird about sex that parents want to hide and become more curious about it.?

But for parents with older children ? preteens and teens, it’s never too late to begin the dialogue and your discussions about sexuality, reproduction and sexual responsibility.

He asks, ?Don?t You and I want our children to avoid the mistakes we made when we were young? Knowledge is the only weapon our children have against the dangers of early sex, unsafe sex, infra sex- homosexuality, lesbianism, masturbation, porn, AIDS, STDs, unwanted pregnancy, rape, sexual abuse, moral and social degradation. Would you deprive your child of it??

Editors: For a review copy of the ebook, ?World?s 1st Sex Ed Manual for Parents?, more information, or to interview the author, email dr.amitjain@gmail.com or call (91) 9312675104.

Oak Park, IL (PRWEB) November 5, 2005

Unfortunately, more than 25% of the total cost of marketing and sales is often wasted and lost forever by misaligned assets, processes and activities. Most executives acknowledge that there is a problem between marketing and sales but many of them just shrug their shoulders and treat misalignment much the same way parents treat puberty…”There’s nothing I can do about it, right?”

On Thursday, November 10, 2005, Michael Webb will interview Bob Schmonsees, author of ?Escaping the Black Hole – Minimizing the Damage from the Marketing-Sales Disconnect? to explore the issues surrounding misalignment, answer the following questions, and provide a roadmap for turning marketing and sales into a sustainable competitive advantage.


What causes the disconnect, and is it getting worse?

What are the symptoms companies feel every day, and what does the problem really cost in time and money?

How can you get senior management engaged and involved?

What can companies do to mend the gap?

What are the experiences of companies who have taken these steps?

Read Michael Webb?s review of ?Escaping the Black Hole? in the articles section of http://www.salesperformance.com, under Sales and Marketing Management articles.

In this teleconference you’ll learn examples of marketing and selling business practices that have created dramatic improvements. You will also receive examples and common sense advice on how to get your team to work together more effectively. We will hold a question and answer period after the presentation to answer all of your questions live on the teleconference. A recording of the call will be made available shortly afterward to registered attendees only.

Date:???? Thursday Nov 10, 2005

Time:???? 5:00 Eastern

???????? 4:00 Central

???????? 2:00 Pacific

Fee:???? This will be a free call

i-hairloss.com Releases a Guide to Female Hair Loss

August 08, 2012     No comments

(PRWEB) November 6, 2005

According to i-hairloss.com, hair loss usually occurs because of hormonal factors. As a consequence, biological events like puberty, pregnancy and menopause that effect female hormone levels can also cause female hair loss.

The most common type of female hair loss is androgenetic alopecia or female-pattern baldness. This type of hair loss is associated with hair thinning predominantly over the sides and top of the head. Female hair loss affects about one-third of all susceptible women and usually onsets after menopause although it can begin earlier.

Other causes of female hair loss include dieting. Rapid weight loss over a short period of time promotes hair loss and some supplements such as excessive vitamin A also contribute to hair loss. Physical and emotional stress can cause hair loss but this usually only occurs when the trauma is excessive and of a long duration. Everyday stress does not promote hair loss.

As i-hairloss.com explains, these are just a few common myths associated with female hair loss. If you experience excessive hair loss, you should see a licensed dermatologist for a thorough diagnosis and treatment options.

Seattle Company Featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

August 07, 2012     No comments

Seattle (PRWEB) December 5, 2005

On Sunday December 4th, 2005, the portable and rechargeable Emphasis light:night was featured product on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for the Novak family. (ABC-8:00 PM CST)

The Novak family has three children, each with their own specific needs, and Emphasis has provided one light:night of each color to compliment the designs in each of their rooms. ?This is obviously an excellent opportunity for Emphasis Products to have the light:night featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. However, we are most pleased to be able to meet the needs of the Novak family,? said Cedric Davis, Director of Sales & Marketing.

The light:night will be ideal for Jeff while tending to his infant Presley. Because it?s portable, the light:night is perfect for late night diaper changes or feedings, and it can be taken into bed or used in co-sleepers because it never gets hot. The light:night has been designed with a recharging cradle that conveniently rests on the nightstand or dresser. The 3 foot cord on the cradle makes the light:night the only ?night-light? on the market that is always within reach while simultaneously detouring curious toddlers away from electrical sockets. When removed from its cradle, or in the event of a power failure, the light:night automatically transitions to bright white mode which eliminates searching for switches and stumbling over toys or fully waking the kids with harsh overhead lights or lamps. During bedtime stories, Jeff can place the light:night in his lap to illuminate the book and not the entire room so the girls can actually fall to sleep. Then he can use the light:night to safely navigate his way out of the room without disrupting them.

In color mode, the light:night will provide added security against parasomnias for all three children. During sleep time Jeff can set the light:night in each child?s room to cast a colorful glow throughout the room. That glow will become much like a favorite teddy bear or pacifier and, if one of the girl?s wakes during the night, Jeff won?t need to search the room or bed to find it. Being portable, the light:night can be taken to their grandparent?s or any unfamiliar setting, such as hotel rooms or outdoor vacations, to provide a peaceful reminder to little ones that wake in the night. For Zoey, the oldest of the three girls, the light:night will be especially useful for potty runs and sleepover?s with her friends.

Emphasis officially introduced, the light:night, to their modern line of portable, rechargeable lights in 2005. Emphasis incorporates LED?s into their product line because they are efficient, long lasting, and never generate heat. ?Each LED has a continuous life span of 100,000 hours (11 years), consumes 90% less energy than the incandescent bulbs traditional lamps and the LED?s won?t get hot.? said designer Cameron Smith. ?Modern families need products that are versatile, functional and designed to last. The light:night has features that are useful to both parents and children? said June Smith, President of Emphasis, ?The light:night functions as a night-light, lantern, book light, emergency light and ambient mood light; all this and it fits in the palm of your hand.?

In 2005, the light:night received The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, which is a lifetime certification for child safety. The light:night is child-safe and parent-practical. They?re built to last so, after a child hits puberty, it can be placed in the guest room or used for outdoor recreation such as camping or RV. But as long as the baby is still a baby, keep in mind that the light:night is the only portable luminary that keeps children away from electrical sockets, provides long life without replacing batteries and bulbs, and eliminates burned fingers and fire hazards (no heat).

“Innocence of Sexuality”

August 06, 2012     No comments

Los Angeles (PRWEB) January 1, 2006

Black Maria Gallery announced the opening of a new exhibition, entitled ?Innocence of Sexuality.? Featuring new and recent works by eight Los Angeles-area artists, the exhibition will open on January 14, 2006.

?As playful and oxymoronic as the title of the show may sound, there is in fact a serious side to it,? said Black Maria owner Zara Zeitountsian. ?First, it?s a nod to certain essential freedoms, particularly considering that ultraconservative forces in this country seem dead-set on enforcing a puritanical set of conventions on the rest of us in social, as well as political and legal, terms. I think it?s important to take a stand, individually and collectively, against the blind demonization of sexuality, even at the risk of stating the obvious.

?In the main, however, the upcoming show is an invitation to the participating artists to delve into their psyches through the prism of sexuality,? Zeitountsian continued. ?We wanted them to explore form and substance as informed by the sexual instinct, or rather to arrive at a purity of sexuality where creative and expressive energies are better understood.?

Samuel Saga, curator of Black Maria Gallery and an artist participating in the ?Innocence of Sexuality? exhibition, commented on the religious undertow of common perceptions of sexuality. ?For purposes of social control, Christianity and Islam view sexuality as a source of evil,? he said. ?The religious mindset ignores the fact that sexuality is just another name for human expression, albeit a powerful one, and that it?s present in us the moment we?re born. At puberty it?s already yanked out of its ?natural? context and equated with sin, with unacceptable social behavior, obviously paving the way for all sorts of psychological issues. Our upcoming show is a tribute to the child-like in the sexual. It?s a celebration of the fact that an instinct which finds its ultimate fulfillment in the act of sexual consummation is also a hugely dynamic factor in all aspects of our lives.?

Saga added that to illustrate the age-independence of the theme of sexuality, the upcoming show will feature works by an eight-year-old painter, the youngest artist ever to participate in a Black Maria Gallery exhibition.

?Innocence of Sexuality? will kick off on Saturday, January 14, at 7 PM, and will remain open until February 9, 2006.

Black Maria is located at 3137 Glendale Boulevard in Atwater Village. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, 12 to 6 PM. For more information, call 818.613.9090.
