Today we're actually calling the program Yarnamentary and we're gonna do

our kickoff today! Today's our kickoff our official kickoff and this is about

introducing fiber arts into the public school system. My name is Doctor Natalia

Russo. I am the principal of PS 145. We can create curriculum around knitting so

this can spread throughout the district, borough, city, and then possibly even

nationwide. Lion Brand was generous enough to donate all the needles, all the

yarn for all these students. We're gonna bring up knitting to a whole other

level today. I really think it's important to teach children to knit

because it helps them with hand-eye coordination, math, learning how to

make something with two sticks and a piece of string. It's pretty amazing.

I think it helps them imagine and create more what they can do. It gives them a

sense of confidence. They may not be great in one thing but they might be

fabulous in this thing. My dream for today is to simply have

these kids knitting a little swatch. If I can get them to knit a swatch, I'm good.

I first thought was exciting but once we first done it, it was very hard. And when we kept doing it, it was much easier.

I'm an advocate for boys who knit and for actually

bringing the craft of knitting forward into the future.

Being here as a male knitter, it's extremely exciting because we have a lot

of other male knitters here today teaching these young children how to

knit. It makes it even more exciting to be a male knitter and showing your

presence in the community. My favorite thing about knitting is that you can make anything you would

like to knit. You don't just have to knit a book mark. My favorite part of knitting is how

it grows. If you want to make anything to help anybody to become a superhero, start

knitting. I will say that everyone can do something no matter the gender. If you

make something and you try your best you will make it. Today we're planting a seed

and that to me is what's most important. They may not look at it tomorrow, they

may look at it two years from now and say, "Hey I remember that cool guy or that

cool girl that taught me how to knit." Today's about planting seeds and

building relationships.

Is a mandatory TB TINE Test Medical Product Placement in Private & Public Schools? - Duration: 2:33.

okay I have another question here why do kids have to have a TB tine test how

come the schools don't pay for it at the school board since it's a requirement to

go to school but that's the same with any shot so if it turns out that the

child is a low-income child and doesn't have the money to go to the doctor is a

school board going to pay for it if it turns out that the test the TB tine test

or screening is positive for tuberculosis is the school board going

to pay for it or is that a partnership and product placement in the school for

medical so so we have two things here that I'm questioning it's like so we

have on one hand low-income people who may not be able to afford all the

medical services who are left out of programs or programs that's made harder

for them to get you know to reach or is what this is is product placement in the

school so shouldn't the school boards be paying for low-income children and

teachers and people who need help or assistance shouldn't the school boards

be paying for it since you know I mean we all know times are really tough for

everybody right now and so yeah that's what I'm wondering that they should be

paying for it or is this product placement in the school for medical for

an advertisement for the TB tine test in school yeah that's just what I'm

wondering so thank you guys for listening to me ask my questions here

about schools and the other thing I'm thinking to colleges don't require you

to have to have a series of tests or a series of tests and vaccinations in

college it's not a requirement to have to go to college why is it in grade

schools or in the public school system why are all these shots and everything

all in the school system and is there some partnership going on here

with the medical community in the public school system that's that's all I'm

asking is there some partnership so thank you guys and I'll see you soon

love you peace love marijuana green leaves green leaves and avocados

Quick Vocal Warm Up For a Powerful Voice | Presenting & Public Speaking Skills #Spon - Duration: 8:43.

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

Stephanie on Life After Going Public With Her Assault | Cosmopolitan - Duration: 2:40.

About a year and a half ago I did a video on my sexual assault, and it went viral.

The majority of the people in my life found out about my rape through the video that I made.

They didn't know that that was the reason that my hair was falling out.

I was sexually assaulted by someone I did not know.

Doing the video, saying it aloud, and really breaking down the story and my feelings and

sentiments absolutely was a release.

Announcer: Conversations with Maria Menounos!

Maria: I had read an article on Cosmopolitan about what had happened.

I had like close to five hundred messages in my Facebook,

and it was people telling me everything that happened.

More and more females were telling me that the same thing had happened to them.

I had then asked, what did you do about it?

And most of them had said they had said nothing to no one until me.

I thought that that was my healing process.

I thought that it had ended there.

Yeah, I thought I wasn't a rape victim, I can still go out and have sex.

Sex is so beautiful, but...

Yeah, sorry.

But it's like, you want to enjoy someone else.

You want that person to enjoy you.

To see you for only that.

Not to see you as something damaged.

Um, and that was hard, but I had to, you know, I took my break.

I saw what I was doing to make myself feel better, to make myself...

Feel like a woman.

I tried to act as if, okay, everything's done again.

It's putting in the work for yourself.

Talking about it.

Therapy is where I found out that I was angry.

Where I realized I was never using the word "rape" I could only say "sexual assault".

Again, owning what happened to you.

Okay, even though I'm bald, I gotta stay fresh.

Self-reflection.

Prayer.

Meditation.

Everything.

And it just helped, you know.

My painting and like, acting too, these are all like different outlets.

Absolutely there's healing in saying it out loud.

Because you have to hear it, you have to accept it, you have to acknowledge it.

Fix yourself first, and then speak out.

Then you can approach the situation not so emotionally.

See it for what it was and put yourself in a position to not be dismissed.

I think, as women, that's very important as well.

Because, fact of the matter is, people are just gonna dismiss it because all we're doing is,

we're just a bunch of females right now, running our mouths about all these men who

have harassed us.

We are humans, we are not animals, we are capable of having the conversation

of being angry about it, discussing it, but enlightening ourselves, learning from it.

What happened to me does not define me.

It's how I react to it.

It's what I do afterwards.

For those of you who remember the video, the last image of me,

that's not what's gonna live forever.

What's gonna live forever is 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.
