    It’s Better to Know! Learn the Signs. Act Early. Learning About Developmental Milestones All of us want our children to be happy and healthy. We want what is best for them. This story is about my family as we learn that “It’s Better To Know” about developmental milestones. Developmental milestones are things most children can do by a certain age. Children reach milestones in how they play, learn, speak, and act. Milestones offer important clues about a child’s development. The developmental milestones you will learn about in this fotonovela will give you a general idea of what to expect as your child grows. Not reaching these milestones, or reaching them much later than other children, could be a sign of a developmental delay. Trust your instincts. If you have concerns about your child’s development, the best thing to do is talk with your doctor.

  • Download the Fall Commencement 2020 Program
    FALL 2020 ACADEMIC REGALIA Though our ceremonies look different this year, regalia traditions are beloved, timeless and span decades — and pandemics. Our graduates have earned the right to don regalia and adornments for the rest of their lives that reflect the dedication they have shown to their field and the love they have for their alma mater. The custom of recognizing the accomplishments of scholars through distinctive dress, color and ceremony began in the Middle Ages and has been adopted by various academic institutions throughout the world. American academic regalia developed from the English traditions that originated at the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford and has been in continuous use in this country since Colonial times. Institutions of higher learning in the United States have adopted a system for identifying different academic degrees by use of specific gowns, hoods and colors. The baccalaureate (bachelor’s) gown is identified by long pointed sleeves. The master’s gown has a very long sleeve, closed at the bottom, and the wearer’s arm is placed through an opening in the front of the sleeve. Master’s gowns also are distinguished by green panels down the front of the gown. Doctoral gowns are distinguished by velvet panels around the neck and down the front of the gown. Three horizontal velvet bars on each sleeve also may mark the doctorate. The colorful hoods worn by master’s and doctoral graduates represent the specific degree earned and the degree-granting institution. Hoods for UNT are distinguished by a kelly-green-and-white chevron lining.

  • O Caráter Lúdico Da Relação Entre Carlitos E Os Objetos
    Cadernos Walter Benjamin 19 O CARÁTER LÚDICO DA RELAÇÃO ENTRE CARLITOS E OS OBJETOS Diogo Rossi Ambiel Facini RESUMO Neste artigo, reflito sobre o caráter lúdico da relação do personagem Carlitos, de Charles Chaplin, com os objetos que o cercam. Em sua relação com objetos, Carlitos dá a eles novas funções e novos sentidos, que ultrapassam aqueles do cotidiano. A aproximação com o campo do lúdico se dá principalmente quando consideramos a atividade de brincar típica das crianças, atividade essa que é comentada por Walter Benjamin em alguns textos. Este artigo é organizado em quatro partes. Primeiramente, é apresentada e discutida a relação entre Carlitos e os objetos. Em segundo lugar, são abordadas algumas noções relacionadas ao conceito de jogo. A seguir, trago algumas reflexões de Walter Benjamin sobre as crianças e as brincadeiras. Por fim, discuto a relação de Carlitos com os objetos em alguns exemplos da obra de Chaplin, retomando algumas ideias trazidas anteriormente. Palavras-chave: Charles Chaplin; Carlitos; Walter Benjamin; Objetos; Jogo. THE PLAYFUL CHARACTER OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHARLIE AND THE OBJECTS ABSTRACT In this paper, I reflect on the playful character of the relationship between Charles Chaplin’s character Charlie and the objects surrounding him. In his relationship with the objects, Charlie gives them new functions and new senses, which surpass those of everyday life. The approximation with the field of play occurs when one considers the child’s play, an activity that is commented by Walter Benjamin in some texts. This paper is organized in four parts. First, I present and discuss the relationship between Charlie and the objects.
