Let's do a short vocal warm up and this is going to be really helpful to get your

voice ready if you are about to do some public speaking, perhaps you have a

presentation and before we jump into it I want to say a huge thank you to

today's sponsors italki. Italki is an online language learning

provider and they provide lessons in not only English but so many other languages

in fact they offer over 100 languages on their site. So let's say you're giving a

presentation in English, you could use an italki lesson in order to practice

your pronunciation, your delivery and then also asking them to check for any

errors perhaps or you could just simply have a lesson to help you in whatever

area of the language you are struggling with. They have lots of teachers to

choose from so you can just scroll through and find a teacher that you

would like to work with and of course it's incredibly convenient because it's

online so you can arrange lessons when and where it suits you as long as you

have an internet connection. The lessons are also very affordable and

if you sign up for your first itaki session using the link in the

description box below then italki will credit your

account with an additional $10 so basically you will buy one and you'll

get one for free. So if you want to take advantage of that offer click on the

link in the description box below. Now let's warm up. When you start your

vocal warm up make sure you're alone, somewhere private where people cannot

see you so that you do the exercises in full. Firstly we're going to stretch and

squeeze the muscles of the face. Stretch them out wide, raising the eyebrows and

stretching everything, and then squeeze everything, and stretch

and squeeze. One more time stretch and squeeze. Good now completely relaxing

those lips I want you to just blow through your lips like a horse.

And again if you are able to do that do it one more time. If you're struggling

place the fingers at either side of the lips place on a little pressure and try

again. If you can't do it, don't worry not everybody can. Next we're going to

warm up the tongue. The tongue is a huge muscle and is very important for

speaking so we're going to do tongue bootcamp. This is cleaning the teeth with

the tongue, six circles in each direction. Okay keep the lips closed here we go.

Good if you've done lots of these types of exercises then you might find it very

very easy in which case increase the number of

circles that you do with the tongue. Now we're going to stretch the tongue out.

Place the tip of the tongue behind the bottom teeth and push the body of the

tongue forward, really stretching out the back of the tongue and relax. One more

time and relax. Good now we're going to make a hum sound the hmm will

eventually open up to a ma sound and what we're doing is warming up the

resonance in the chest, the nice low vibrations. So I want you to beat your

chest waking up all the muscles on a hum follow me. Hmmmmmmmmm

Pat the ribs. Open up to a Maaaaaaaa

Good now in good public speaking you should be engaging the diaphragm in

order to project your voice so let's warm up that diaphragm muscle. Place one

hand on the diaphragm which is just below the rib cage and you're going to

give me lots of short sharp SH sounds. You'll feel the diaphragm bounce. We're

going to do ten of these and then one long one and when you give me the long

one I want you to squeeze your tummy muscles as tight as you can until you

have no air left in your body. Okay here we go.

Follow me hhhh hhhh relax good. Right the face is awake the body is awake

let's do some articulation to make sure our mouths are fully working follow me.

We're going to be saying B D G again and again and again really fast here we go.

And now we're going to try P T K

And now we're going to try M L W ready

let's finish off this warm up with some

tongue twisters. Here some famous ones

Finally three very simple words make sure the

tongue comes out for the th

Very well done. Remember it's important to warm up your

voice every time that you're speaking publicly, giving a presentation, or a talk.

By warming up your voice you protect your voice but also you make sure that

you're performing at your best so you can project and your voice is strong and

easily understood. Don't forget that fantastic offer from italki, working

with a teacher one on one can really help to boost your language skills

whatever language you're learning italki offer so many. If you did find

Pick Your Priorities in Public K-12 Education - Duration: 1:02.

Hi I'm Chris Reykdal, State Superintendent of Public Schools.

We are asking for your help in a really remarkable process that we have begun: To develop a biennial

budget request to the Governor and the Legislature.

This is the first budget request that I get to submit since taking this office.

And as you know, the Legislature has worked really hard in a bipartisan fashion to put

the basics in place for our public schools.

But we want to be more than basic.

We want an amazing education system for our students and our educators, our parents and

our communities.

So we're asking for your help.

Please dive into this survey!

Tell us your interests, tell us what you would prioritize.

And let's build a budget request together as Washingtonians that meets the needs of

our kids going forward.

Thanks for considering this.

Beyond The Plant Wall: Justice and Public Safety Degree Completion (S02E07) - Duration: 3:13.

Hello and welcome to Beyond the Plant Wall, where we get down to the root of the

information and we tell you everything you need to know,

about the University of Guelph-Humber.

I'm your host Mark Onufer and with us today we have

Glenn Hanna representing the Justice Program.

Thank you for joining us here. - My pleasure.

Let's talk a little bit about the program. What is the program all about?

It is about taking the working professional who has a college diploma or some

degrees and helping them cross that line and to graduate with a degree.

It is providing the critical thinking theoretical models that will help them

do their job even better.

So what can someone who is already in the working field, and they're coming into the program,

what can they expect in their time here in the program?

It is specifically designed for the working professional.

So it's a hybrid delivery.

A Friday night, Saturday, Sunday in class here at our campus in Toronto,

and then that's followed by six weeks of distance.

So you're doing readings, you're doing quizzes,

you're doing online discussions, preparing papers,

then you meet a Friday night and Saturday morning.

That's the end of that course, six weeks.

Right.

So in 12 weeks, you do two courses,

one course at a time, which we very purposefully had done so that you can concentrate on

one professor, one set of requirements, one course at a time, in addition to your work.

Then you have three weeks off, and you just keep repeating until you're done.

The total number of courses is 16.

Right.

If you have some specific additional education,

four more courses can be knocked off that, so 12.

So some of our students take 12, some take 16.

Now we want to know if there are any

limitations, misconceptions, difficulties in this program, that students should be aware of.

One of the big things is nervousness in going back to school.

So a lot have been out of school for many years, myself it was 24 years.

And you can speak from experience? - I was petrified of the thought of being back.

But we understand that and we are ready for that.

One of your first courses, a reading and writing course,

we teach you how to read and write, the way universities expect you to,

and it's a very good, smooth transition into university life.

The other is the level of demand on time.

You know busy people with family lives, with busy professional lives

how can I now add something else on?

For our degree completion program, the BAA,

I say its average is about 10 hours a week, and it's very manageable while working.

Thank you for joining us here today on Beyond the Plant Wall.

My pleasure, thanks for your interest.

That is all for today on the show. You heard it from Glenn himself, if you're considering it, just do it.

Thank you so much and we will see you next month.

FY19 City Budget - Public Works - Duration: 1:44.

My name is [INAUDIBLE] and I'm the commissioner

for the Department of Public Parks

for the City of Cambridge.

I think of this primarily as a public health agency.

We pick up your trash.

We pick up your recycling.

We manage your public utilities.

We look after your streets, your sidewalks, the cemeteries,

our urban forest.

There are a number of new initiatives

that we're taking on this year, to include curbside composting

across the city.

This provides people with the opportunity

to put their organic waste into separate containers that

are collected and are deposited in a facility that uses this

to generate energy and compost.

It reduces the dependence on landfills and it's cheaper.

We're also making a significant investment

in our complete streets program this year.

And through that we are embracing vision zero.

In our complete streets program, we

work toward making our streets safer

for pedestrians, for cyclists, for motorists,

and for people who are using public transit.

For more information with regard to the DPW budget,

I'd invite you to go to the city's website

and look at it online.
