| calm down song language: Calm-Down Time Elizabeth Verdick, 2010-05-01 Every parent, caregiver—and toddler—knows the misery that comes with meltdowns and temper tantrums. Through rhythmic text and warm illustrations, this gentle, reassuring book offers toddlers simple tools to release strong feelings, express them, and calm themselves down. Children learn to use their calm-down place—a quiet space where they can cry, ask for a hug, sing to themselves, be rocked in a grown-up’s arms, talk about feelings, and breathe: “One, two, three . . . I’m calm as can be. I’m taking care of me.” After a break, toddlers will feel like new—and adults will, too. Books include tips for parents and caregivers. |

| calm down song language: The Use of Pop Songs in the EFL Classroom Ornerová Lenka, 2011-03-09 Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: I have chosen the topic of using pop songs in the EFL classroom because I strongly believe that working with pop songs is a highly motivational device. When I was a student at a lower and upper secondary school, listening to songs in English classes was my favourite activity. I have always wanted to be able to understand the lyrics of songs I listened to. Later, I realized that I have learned a lot from listening to pop songs and analyzing their lyrics. Therefore, in my diploma project, I would like to prove that using pop songs is a highly motivational device in teaching English with instructional value, and that students enjoy working with pop songs. The theoretical part of this diploma project is based on relevant sources of background literature. In the first two chapters, the use of songs is described with regard to motivation and the Multiple Intelligences Theory. The third and fourth chapter deal with the reasons for using songs and their classification. In the last two chapters of the theoretical part, pedagogical principles of using pop songs in class, as well as the pros and cons of teaching through pop songs are presented. The practical part is based on the findings of three surveys I have conducted in the field of using songs in the EFL classroom. In the first part of the research, I present an analysis of questionnaires which I distributed among English teachers at lower and upper secondary schools and grammar schools. In the second part of the research, I describe students ́ attitudes to pop song based lessons which I taught during my teaching practice at grammar schools. In the third part of the research, I analyze the types of songs presented in commonly used textbooks at lower and upper secondary schools. In addition, I present a self-developed teaching material containing a list of pop songs suitable for the EFL classroom. In the last part of the practical part, I answer the research questions and provide some implications for my own teaching.

| calm down song language: Social interaction, Social Context, and Language Dan Isaac Slobin, Julie Gerhardt, Amy Kyratzis, Jiansheng Guo, 2014-07-10 This collection of essays is a representative sample of the current research and researchers in the fields of language and social interactions and social context. The opening chapter, entitled Context in Language, is written by Susan Ervin-Tripp, whose diverse and innovative research inspired the editors to dedicate this book to her honor. Ervin-Tripp is known for her work in the fields of linguistics, psychology, child development, sociology, anthropology, rhetoric, and women's studies. She has played a central role in the definition and establishment of psycholinguistics, child language development, and sociolinguistics, and has been an innovator in terms of approaches and methods of study. This book covers a wide range of research interests in the field, from linguistically oriented approaches to social and ethnography oriented approaches. The issue of the relationships between forms and structures of language and social interactions is examined in studies of both adult and child speech. It is a useful anthology for graduate students studying language and social interaction, as well as for researchers in this field. |

| calm down song language: Where Music Helps: Community Music Therapy in Action and Reflection Cochavit Elefant, Mercédès Pavlicevic, Dr Gary Ansdell, Professor Brynjulf Stige, 2013-06-28 This book explores how people may use music in ways that are helpful for them, especially in relation to a sense of wellbeing, belonging and participation. The central premise for the study is that help is not a decontextualized effect that music produces. The book contributes to the current discourse on music, culture and society and it is developed in dialogue with related areas of study, such as music sociology, ethnomusicology, community psychology and health promotion. Where Music Helps describes the emerging movement that has been labelled Community Music Therapy, and it presents ethnographically informed case studies of eight music projects (localized in England, Israel, Norway, and South Africa). The various chapters of the book portray music's help in action within a broad range of contexts; with individuals, groups and communities – all of whom have been challenged by illness or disability, social and cultural disadvantage or injustice. Music and musicing has helped these people find their voice (literally and metaphorically); to be welcomed and to welcome, to be accepted and to accept, to be together in different and better ways, to project alternative messages about themselves or their community and to connect with others beyond their immediate environment. The overriding theme that is explored is how music comes to afford things in concert with its environments, which may suggest a way of accounting for the role of music in music therapy without reducing music to a secondary role in relation to the therapeutic, that is, being just a symbol of psychological states, a stimulus, or a text reflecting socio-cultural content. |

| calm down song language: Battle of Colors Sofia Faddeeva, 2023-11-24 ANNOTATION Soviet upbringing meets capitalist reality in this poignant and explicit woman experience tale that pits mystery vs. madness, patriarchy vs. love, and Russian Far North vs. Latin American South. TRANSLATOR’S FOREWORD Literary aficionados may delight in finding among this novel’s themes certain parallels to a great diversity of other novels and stories, from The Joy Luck Club to I’m Your Horse in the Night – and yet Battle of Colors is as authentic as can be. The author’s manner may seem somewhat more overwrought than today’s English – and especially North American – reader is used to, but that is part of the game. It is definitely a woman’s story. It is a jarring account of the white privilege – both real and perceived, however unsettling the last notion may sound. It is a passing snapshot of the disappearing Soviet mindset, presented in this book free of ideological tenets, as well as of life and politics in a Latin American country as seen by a quickly learning immigrant. It is a tale spanning across cultures and continents, a tale of portraits and musings, violence and horror, sex and mysticism – although, as a F. Garcia Lorca’s line in the beginning warns the reader, it is first and foremost about Love and Death. PROMO QUOTES WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE ...No, he did not rape me. I raped myself, forcing myself to put up with it... Why? Because I didn’t want to lose him to another woman? Rubbish! A person can put up with something only out of love. Not out of vanity, material benefits, the desire to be loved the most, pride, or ambition. I am the one guilty of violence. As for him, it wasn’t about sex. WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE But I remember, as in slow motion. The frying pan with potatoes flipping over, and the oil stain spreading over the wooden floor, wider and wider... the milk that I just put on the stove to warm, pouring down on my head and flowing from my hair onto the clothes...myself being dragged from the kitchen, where I was trying to hide, into the hall – I push back, I don’t want to go there, there are people outside the windows... the phone receiver raised high – this man is so tall... why is everything happening like in a slow-motion picture?.. the receiver comes down on my head. I feel dull pain and hear humming in my temples, I am lying on the floor... Enough! We’ve seen everything! voices outside say. WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE ...And the truth is that the children do need a father, they do need housing and money, the woman needs the man toward whom she can feel pity and love, so that she can cry after quarrels and then listen to confessions of love and pleas for forgiveness. The woman needs the man to sleep with at night, to know pleasure. And the truth is that there can be no pity or love for the man who beats and humiliates you, that you don’t need any housing and money from such a person, and children don’t need such a father! Everything that this woman will tell you will be true, and nothing will be true. WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE Does he need a tragedy, or is it enough for him to see me this way: powerless, weak-willed, dependent on the smallest movement of his finger, at his disposal, at his mercy, having my eyes glued to his madding eyes? Does he need bruises and burns on my body? Does he need my pain? No, he doesn’t feel it. He needs my fear. This he can see. He holds a cigarette to my breast and sees the fear in my eyes, he jams my hand in the door and enjoys the horror in my eyes, he threatens to hit me and enjoys the shiver of my soul. He doesn’t beat me. He wants to hurt my soul. LOVE Looking back, I am convinced that lovers should be together, and if they happen to part for a time, they must be ready to forgive each other many things… As for the real vs. false love rhetoric, it is meaningless and contrived. Everything is real – and everything is fake... because every feeling is unique. There is no standard, there is nothing to compare it with. Our conscious struggles with the subconscious, and our morals interfere with that struggle – but as a participant, not a judge. And we are confused, being the first and the second and the third simultaneously. Nothing is a mistake, and guilt is nothing. There are only contradictions – within and without. LOVE What have you done, my sweet one? Why have you made me go through so much abuse? Why couldn’t you forgive me then and there? Now I really can’t... His tears come in streams. Just like that other time, when my mother tried to persuade him to leave me if he wished me well. I'll never find a woman like you! So what have you been thinking before? It's too late! I am not yours anymore! And this is your fault! You’ve made me love another man! You’ve squeezed my love dry, like juice from a lemon… LOVE Love is an illusion, a deception, it comes for a while and always goes away. Love is joy and pain... Do I believe in love? Yes, I believe in love, I believe in the most beautiful of illusions, I believe in the most beautiful of deceptions, I believe in joy and pain, I believe in love. Yes, it exists, yes, it gives strength, it’s the meaning of our life... But I avoid love. MYSTICISM I have no idea how I am so sure that I’ve never lived in the ancient Rome, Greece, or Judea, that I’ve never been to Byzantium – I’ve lived before that, and after that, and I’ve been a barbarian, a plebeian, a slave, a robber, a pirate, male and female, and only once I’ve been a most sophisticated aristocrat, and I’ve always been cruel, beautiful and strong. MYSTICISM ...men wearing strange clothes, armed with spears… fire, shouts and my laughter, when flames broke out wild at my feet. I wasn’t screaming in pain. I was laughing at those who were burning me. I despised and hated them. My own pain and the pain of others seemed trifling to me, and my life and the lives of others, worthless... I was cursed… MYSTICISM I am ashamed of my fears. I just got scared by my own feet! But then I almost physically saw that presence take the shape of a man and walked to the door, retreating from the sun. And now I am left with horror and bitterness, but most of all with bewilderment and curiosity. What, time to go back to the cemetery? Can’t stand the sun? I whisper. Guess you haven’t kicked the habit of leaving through the door yet, eh? RACES Are you crazy to marry an índio? the young man jumps from the polite you to the informal one. He is not an índio, he's an engineer! Does your husband beat you? Indios love beating. At my hacienda I penalize índios when they beat their wives, but then the women come and cuss at me for penalizing their husbands! Weren’t he so straightforward, I would have thought that he’d heard about us from some friends and now is just playing me. But obviously that is not the case. RACES An índio is a creature of the mountains, dirty, unkempt, uneducated... basically, a draft animal that we, non-índios, use to get bags and baskets carried from the market to our houses. We hire this animal to do hard work. Indio women come and wash our clothes, cook dinner and clean our houses for meager pay. Of course, we teach them some vestiges of culture and hygiene. Indios are those we should care about as good, merciful Christians. Indios are a terrible power that unleashes when they get intoxicated with reed vodka and start cutting the air with their machetes, shouting carajo! – they descend from the mountains and try to rush our battle tanks surrounding them. An índio is a lesser human being, even if he succeeds among white people. MUSINGS We humans are all turncoats. Sooner or later, on purpose or not, consciously or unconsciously, we turn our backs on our loved ones, our friends, partners, children, parents, we turn on our neighbors next door and on our neighbors next country, and we turn ourselves. We can’t help it: life is full of turns and turnabouts, we turn this way and that, and so do our loved ones and our circumstances and our feelings. This is the way the world turns. We are human, we turn. Life is impossible without turning. MUSINGS The depths of human nature are home to turmoil and chaos. When they say pure of character, what they usually mean is the upper layers of the soul, exposed to public view. The chaos and the turmoil are something everyone is supposed to hide: people have agreed among themselves that this way it feels nicer to be around one another. But what if the purity and the chaos are combined, grown into each other, soaked through with each other so that isolating them again is impossible? USSR Oh, don't you know what people back there think about our marriages: she went after a pretty life! And if you come back… Aha, got your pretty life! they will say. Drank from the bitter cup! And now going back under mother's wing, you slut! They’ll be angry and envious, alright! They know full well they’ll never be able to get out and see the world!.. And what about your kids, especially the ones a bit darker than the locals? ...Will you be able to stay in the lines for some drab clothes to dress yourself and your kids? Will you be able to find a decent job with your ruined personal record?.. SEX His infinity burst and strung on a chain of fireworks, flowed out like liquid fire and fell into the cold – but I knew no fulfillment. With great patience and countless tricks, he would lead me to my final point, which turned into weak suspension points, and from there it quickly turned into a comma waiting for a continuation. I couldn’t do anything with that damned comma... I told him all I knew and thought about myself, and the story began from my birth. He listened and tried to conquer the comma again – he couldn’t put up with it, he wanted to change me, although he said that he accepted me the way I was, but he wanted more… And again the cursed comma stood between us. ABUSE A mad, drunk hand pushes him still lower into the tank, holding by the hair… He is out of breath... The delicate, unrecoverable connections in his brain are broken... His father's hand feels no resistance anymore. His mother rushes screaming from the house and throws herself at the father. As his father switches his violent attention to the woman, the boy crawls out and hides behind the stacks of boards. He is cold. His teeth are clattering. He has nothing to cover his body with for warmth. But gradually it gets warmer anyway. He falls asleep. He doesn’t hear the screams and wails coming from the house… In his dream, he is dead. He sees his own burial... The parents are crying so bitterly! The grief brought them together. They are crying for their son. |
| calm down song language: Indian Sound Cultures, Indian Sound Citizenship Laura Brueck, Jacob Smith, Neil Verma, 2020-05-14 From the cinema to the recording studio to public festival grounds, the range and sonic richness of Indian cultures can be heard across the subcontinent. Sound articulates communal difference and embodies specific identities for multiple publics. This diversity of sounds has been and continues to be crucial to the ideological construction of a unifying postcolonial Indian nation-state. Indian Sound Cultures, Indian Sound Citizenship addresses the multifaceted roles sound plays in Indian cultures and media, and enacts a sonic turn in South Asian Studies by understanding sound in its own social and cultural contexts. “Scapes, Sites, and Circulations” considers the spatial and circulatory ways in which sound “happens” in and around Indian sound cultures, including diasporic cultures. “Voice” emphasizes voices that embody a variety of struggles and ambiguities, particularly around gender and performance. Finally, “Cinema Sound” make specific arguments about film sound in the Indian context, from the earliest days of talkie technology to contemporary Hindi films and experimental art installations. Integrating interdisciplinary scholarship at the nexus of sound studies and South Asian Studies by questions of nation/nationalism, postcolonialism, cinema, and popular culture in India, Indian Sound Cultures, Indian Sound Citizenship offers fresh and sophisticated approaches to the sonic world of the subcontinent. |

| calm down song language: Scientism: A New World Dream Greg Heard, 2023-04-28 In Scientism: A New World Dream, the author delves into the rise of left-brain dominance in Western culture and its impact on our understanding of the world. The author argues that this shift has led to a more distanced and factual approach, akin to the denatured view of science and the emergence of scientism. Through examination of cultural movements throughout history, the author suggests that this mindset has resulted in a disregard for actual fact-checking and a reliance on ideas over reality, leading to the prevalence of fake news and opinions. This book provides a thought-provoking examination of the impact of scientism on our society and raises important questions about the nature of truth and reality. |

| calm down song language: Globalization and Animal Law Thomas G. Kelch, 2017-05-01 The rise of the globalized economy has rendered an even more profound change in the relationship between humans and other animals than the ancient progression from huntergatherer to agricultural society. In today’s global markets, multinational corporations exploit the economic value of animals throughout the world on an unprecedented scale. The philosophical and legal notions that animals are mere unfeeling machines or pieces of property, although more or less taken for granted for centuries, has been challenged, if not burst asunder, in recent decades (in law, moral philosophy, and cognitive and other sciences), and regulation of the treatment of animals in agriculture, experimentation, entertainment and other areas has begun to make substantial inroads in national and international law. This book provides a detailed analysis of international and comparative animal law focusing on the impact of today’s globalized economy on animal law. Describing a wide range of domestic and international laws relating to the treatment of animals, the author explicates the sorts of legal rules which affect the global animal marketplace. Representative norms in existing animal protection laws are analyzed and critiqued, illustrating the diverse approaches taken by different countries and by the international community in regulating uses of animals. Among the issues covered are the following: - contemporary philosophical thought on the relationship between humans and animals; - recent scientific research relating to cognitive and other abilities of animals; - legal issues relating to factory farming and animal slaughter; - legal protection of animals during transport; - regulatory schemes on animal experimentation; - laws on the use of animals in entertainment; - laws on protection of companion animals; - regulation of trade in endangered species; - international trade issues relating to animals, including consideration of the provisions of GATT and the seminal WTO/GATT decisions in the Tuna/Dolphin, Shrimp/Turtle, Tuna Labeling and EU/Seal Products cases; - constitutional protection for the interests of animals; - intellectual property law issues relating to animals; - efforts to have the legal “personhood” of certain animals judicially recognized; and - what the future may hold for animal law in the global economy. To ensure the consideration of a full range of legal approaches, the laws analyzed come from a wide variety of countries and jurisdictions, including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, the EU, Germany, India, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland, the UK, and state and federal laws of the US. Numerous international treaties and conventions relevant to animal treatment and animal law are also covered, including the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the CITES Convention, the European Convention for the Protection of Animals Kept for Farming Purposes, the European Patent Convention, the GATT Treaty, the TRIPS Agreement and the Universal Copyright Convention. It is not difficult to grasp, given the continuing increases in production, consumption and use of animals and animal products worldwide, that legal initiatives in this often emotional and acrimonious area of law are frequently contentious and hard fought. But this is really just the dawn of animal law, which has only recently become recognized as an important cutting-edge topic, and this area of the law promises to develop rapidly in the future. This book is enormously valuable in contributing to the continuing development and understanding of this law, clearly laying out the contours and boundaries of existing animal laws in our global economy, and allowing legal educators, concerned lawyers and policymakers to teach, formulate proposals, argue cases and defenses, and secure a firm purchase on future trends and developments in animal law. |

| calm down song language: The Literary Taylor Swift Betsy Winakur Tontiplaphol, Anastasia Klimchynskaya, 2024-10-17 Taylor Swift, arguably the most prolific and acclaimed singer-songwriter of the 21st century, has shaped her listeners' collective consciousness and challenged her industry's often limiting attitudes toward genre, revision, and collaboration. Although Swift is a perennial subject in the media, cast in both a positive and a negative light, few professional scholars have considered her ever-growing body of work. The Literary Taylor Swift examines Swift's significance and timeliness through literary analysis and theory. Taylor Swift has been celebrated for her ability to craft immersive narratives and to articulate, with lyrical acuity, a broad range of emotional experiences, and her lyrics underscore her profound relationship with text. The Literary Taylor Swift explores Swift's engagements, intertextual and otherwise, with literature and treats her songs as literature-as, that is, stories, poems, and other textual forms to which literary-critical theories and methodologies can and should be productively applied. This collection offers carefully curated arguments constellated around four key relationships: Swift and the literary-historical canon; Swift and the language of gender and sexuality; Swift and the relationship between writing and memory; and Swift and the nature of literary craft. |

| calm down song language: A Cultural History of Disability in the Modern Age David T. Mitchell, Sharon L. Snyder, 2023-05-17 If eugenics -- the science of eliminating kinds of undesirable human beings from the species record -- came to overdetermine the late 19th century in relation to disability, the 20th century may be best characterized as managing the repercussions for variable human populations. A Cultural History of Disability in the Modern Age provides an interdisciplinary overview of disability as an outpouring of professional, political, and representational efforts to fix, correct, eliminate, preserve, and even cultivate the value of crip bodies. This book pursues analyses of disability's deployment as a wellspring for an alternative ethics of living in and alongside the body different while simultaneously considering the varied social and material contexts of devalued human differences from World War I to the present. In short, this volume demonstrates that, in Ozymandias-like ways, the Western Project of the Human with its perpetuation of body-mind hierarchies lies crumbling in the deserts of failed empires, genocidal furies, and the rejuvenating myths of new nation states in the 20th century. An essential resource for researchers, scholars and students of history, literature, culture, philosophy, rehabilitation, technology, and education, A Cultural History of Disability in the Modern Age explores such themes and topics as: atypical bodies; mobility impairment; chronic pain and illness; blindness; deafness; speech; learning difficulties; and mental health while wrestling with their status as unreliable predictors of what constitutes undesirable humanity. |

Students are motivated to engage with popular culture through a myriad of mediums for a variety of purposes. Utilizing popular culture to bridge literacy concepts across content areas in K-12 settings offers a level playing field across student groups and grade levels. As concepts around traditional literacy education evolve and become more culturally responsive, the connections between popular culture and disciplinary literacy must be explored. Disciplinary Literacy Connections to Popular Culture in K-12 Settings is an essential publication that explores a conceptual framework around pedagogical connections to popular culture. While highlighting a broad range of topics including academic creativity, interdisciplinary storytelling, and skill development, this book is ideally designed for educators, curriculum developers, instructional designers, administrative officials, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and students. |

| calm down song language: Wired for Music Adriana Barton, 2022-10-11 “Beautifully written... a riveting account of how melodies and rhythms connect us, and help us deal with alienation and anxiety.”—Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score In this captivating blend of science and memoir, a health journalist and former cellist explores music as a source of health, resilience, connection, and joy. Music isn’t just background noise or a series of torturous exercises we remember from piano lessons. In the right doses, it can double as a mild antidepressant, painkiller, sleeping pill, memory aid—and enhance athletic performance while supporting healthy aging. Though music has been used as a healing strategy since ancient times, neuroscientists have only recently discovered how melody and rhythm stimulate core memory, motor, and emotion centers in the brain. But here’s the catch: We can tune into music every day and still miss out on some of its potent effects. Adriana Barton learned the hard way. Starting at age five, she studied the cello for nearly two decades, a pursuit that left her with physical injuries and emotional scars. In Wired for Music, she sets out to discover what music is really for, combing through medical studies, discoveries by pioneering neuroscientists, and research from biology and anthropology. Traveling from state-of-the-art science labs to a remote village in Zimbabwe, her investigation gets to the heart of music’s profound effects on the human body and brain. Blending science and story, Wired for Music shows how our species’ age-old connection to melody and rhythm is wired inside us. |

With trepidation, i stepped into this unfamiliar territory, unsure if my introverted nature would be a hindrance or a hidden strength. Through rigorous training, countless cold calls, and nerve-wracking role-playing sessions, i discovered the power of quiet determination and resilience. Despite moments of self-doubt, i persevered, honing my skills and embracing the unique advantages of being an introvert in sales. In this book, you will learn: • What exactly introversion is and what it isn't (and why it matters) • How to remove any sense of guilt or shame and feel great in your own skin • How to redesign all aspects of your life such as your career and your relationships so you can thrive as an introvert • How to manage your energy to avoid feeling drained at the end of the day • How to deal with parties the introvert way, and • How to make your best contribution to the world as an introvert If you’re an introvert, you are likely more on the quiet and introspective side, and you tend to shy away from social interactions. This can make you feel like you’re missing out on making friends and forming meaningful relationships. But the good news is, you can develop your communication skills and be a better conversationalist. You can be more sociable, magnetic, and interesting… all while staying true to who you are! |

| calm down song language: Music in Kenyan Christianity Jean Ngoya Kidula, 2013-09-11 “The book contains an excellent mix of deep personal understanding of the culture and copious documentation.” —Eric Charry, Wesleyan University This sensitive study is a historical, cultural, and musical exploration of Christian religious music among the Logooli of Western Kenya. It describes how new musical styles developed through contact with popular radio and other media from abroad and became markers of the Logooli identity and culture. Jean Ngoya Kidula narrates this history of a community through music and religious expression in local, national, and global settings. The book is generously enhanced by audiovisual material on the Ethnomusicology Multimedia website. “The archival and ethnographic research is outstanding, the accounts of mission history, and then the musical explanations of a variety of forms of change that have accompanied mission intervention, the incursion of forms of modernity, and globalization at large are compelling and unparalleled.” —Carol Muller, University of Pennsylvania “Explores contemporary African music through the prism of ethnographies through the people’s engagement of Christianity as a unifying ideology in the context of history, modernity, nationalisms and globalisation.” —Journal of Modern African Studies “The meticulous and sometimes highly sophisticated musical analyses, transcriptions, and the rich historical and ethnographic perspectives illuminate not only ongoing discourses and contestations of syncretism and related analytical notions, they also represent a plausible model of a balanced approach to ethnomusicology.” ?International Journal of African Historical Studies “An essential text for thinking about world Christianities, because it approaches a particular African Christianity from both insider and outsider perspectives.” —Global Forum on Arts and Christian Faith |
