Article: "Cuerpo Humano" (Human Body)
For children who are just starting to learn the basic elements of life, they must know a little about the human body. Children are curious and need to get answers to their questions, so teachers should help them get to know themselves a little more. We suggest that, with the planned activities, you accompany your students on the path of knowledge. They will be delighted that you teach them in a fun way.
Brain Hat: We believe a cool way for kids to learn about the brain is to take a birthday hat, draw all the parts of the organ on it, and have the children write the names where they belong.
Cardboard Bones: How about making a cardboard skeleton? You can collect all the kitchen and toilet paper rolls and use them to assemble the skeleton. It's better to paint it white so that children like it even more. The activity would involve them saying the names of the bones and marking them on the cardboard.
Egg Eyes: Do you have eggshells? If so, don't throw them away and take them to school. When in the classroom, leave half of the shell on your students' desks and ask them to draw the eye and its parts. The one who does it most accurately will earn a treat or a high grade.
EVA Foam Skin: Are you looking for a way to teach them about the skin? For the children to understand that the skin is the most important organ we humans have, we propose covering a box with three different shades to be able to mark the different layers of the skin.
Cardboard Teeth: Assign your students the task of finding medicine or perfume boxes and bringing them to school. Once they do, they can decorate them with white paint to make them look like teeth, and this way you teach them the names of each one.
Article: "Tatuajes Maorí" (Maori Tattoos)
Maori tattoos, also known in their native language as Ta moko, are a traditional practice to mark the body and face of tribe members. The difference between Ta moko and common tattoos is that, instead of using needles, the skin is carved with chisels to give it the desired shape. This technique gives the person's skin a unique texture.
These tattoos could be done by both men and women. Men used to get designs on areas of the face and buttocks, while women received these tattoos on the chin, lips, and shoulders.
What meanings do Maori tattoos hide? Maori tattoos are not only pieces of art that fill us with intrigue and wonder, but they also have deep meanings that everyone should know and consider as a good option for a future tattoo.
These tattoos refer to the power and prestige of tribe members, as well as the status and influence of those individuals with others. Only those who had a good economic position could afford to get these types of tattoos, and those without money were completely forbidden.
Maori tattoos symbolize the internal strength of individuals, the power one can have over someone else or a group of people, and most importantly, they represent courage.
We are sure that if you are looking for a perfect design to complete the piece you have been working on for a while, we recommend that you consider getting a Maori design because they look great on the skin. Your artist will love the challenge of creating a special image for you, and I assure you that you will have a great time.
What are the most popular types of Maori tattoos that we can find?
- Pikorua Tattoo: Pikorua is a very traditional design in Maori culture, referring to the union of the sea and the land. It symbolizes that people should take different paths in life, but in the end, we all return to the same place.
- Nga Hau e Wha Tattoo: Represents the four corners of the earth. According to this culture, it is said that humans must respect God, as He is an all-powerful being who can destroy everything with His power.
- Koru Tattoo: Koru designs refer to spirals symbolizing growth and new beginnings.
- Hei Tiki Tattoo: Hei Tiki is a good luck charm, representing fertility, knowledge, and clarity of the mind. It is the representation of an unborn embryo and is considered fortunate in Maori culture.
- Hei Matau Tattoo: The fish hook tattoo represents prosperity in Maori tradition. It refers to good health, strength, and securely navigating life. This design is quite common due to its meaning but is one of the most interesting.
Article: Psychosocial Risks
Currently, we live in a world where people strive to appear perfect because that way they can please others or achieve their goals. But what they still haven't realized is that living that way is not the healthiest, as it can lead us to make many mistakes and cause disorders that would complicate our existence.
Psychosocial risk factors are those that we can experience in the workplace and that can cause us a lot of harm, such as emotional, physical, and behavioral disorders.
How to identify psychosocial risk factors? To solve the problems that a company may have, it is necessary to first conduct an analysis to determine the conditions in which employees work. At this stage, you must obtain as much data as possible through different sources, such as interviews with workers and direct observation. It is also essential to consider absenteeism, performance, and the behavior of the company's members.
What things should be considered when doing the analysis? The first thing to observe is the psychological demands of employees since, in trying to fulfill their tasks, they may be hiding their feelings, discomforts, and opinions. This can lead them to make bad decisions and not be able to perform correctly. Another issue that can affect employees is when they cannot apply their skills at work, which can make them feel frustrated. Low wages are a significant risk factor, as when employees see that their employers do not pay them enough, they automatically think that their work and effort are not worth it. It is important to pay attention to the family life of the worker because even if it is not an employer's problem, everyone has a life outside the company, and the setbacks they may have affect the work they do in some way.
Review: “All Too Well: The Short Film”
In the first few seconds, we see her admiring the person next to her, unable to believe that he was real. It was impossible that such a special man would want her like that. Everything seemed like a fairy tale, or at least that's what she thought. He made her feel things that other guys had never done. By his side, she felt more adult and adventurous, but those kinds of relationships never ended well. Having a broken heart at the end of that story was not going to be a surprise. Being so young, she did not realize that he was just playing with her mind and taking advantage of her tenderness and lack of experience.
At one moment she was perfect, but the next, she was not woman enough to be by his side. And as if she were a disposable object, he, after getting what he wanted, abandoned her to continue with his life as if nothing had happened between them. Despite having spent only three months with him, the outcome destroyed her because she knew it
had been love and not just an affair.
But gradually, she managed to get out of that bed that held her like a prisoner and took all that pain to turn it into art. Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien did an extraordinary job bringing those characters to life. Both made me see and feel everything I read in articles when I was 12 or 13 years old. At that time, I didn't understand what Taylor was going through, but now I understand it perfectly. I am horrified by the witch hunt they did with her because of people who only manipulated her.
Review: “Kingdom of the Cursed” by Kerri Maniscalco
This sequel follows the events of "Kingdom of the Wicked," where we got to know a bit of the story of Emilia di Carlo and Prince Wrath. In the first chapter, we find Emilia, who decided to sell her soul to become a queen and thus get the information she wanted. But her actions had consequences, and she could no longer turn back; she was obliged to travel with Wrath to the Seven Circles. She felt more alone than ever because she couldn't trust even her shadow. The world she had entered was full of treacherous princes, mysterious parties, and chilling messages. But she couldn't give up; her duty was to move forward to solve her sister's murder. She didn't care about the evidence and obstacles that would cross her path; she was going to do whatever it took to know the truth.
My opinion: It took me quite some time to finish this book, not because I didn't get hooked on the story, but because I was working and didn't have much time. The truth is that I liked the first one more, but this sequel exceeded my expectations because I didn't think it would be so good. One of the things I liked most about this book is that we got to know a little more about Wrath's world. He intrigued me a lot from the beginning, and I am satisfied with the information the author gave us. I also enjoyed seeing Emilia's evolution, both the good and the bad. I feel that she grew a lot, and by being away from her world, she allowed herself to feel and be herself.
Kerri writes wonderfully; it's inevitable to feel trapped with two or three sentences. I loved that she gave a more adult touch to the story and didn't get stuck in the juvenile. I felt that the plot was much larger than the previous book. She introduced new characters, of whom I would love to know a little more. However, at times I felt that the story was going a bit slow, but the last hundred pages were incredible. I can't wait to read "Kingdom of the Feared." I hope that the ending gives us everything we didn't get to know in the previous books.
