Museum Protocol: Case Study Esly Regina Carvalho, Ph.D. This Museum Protocol: Case Study Esly Regina Carvalho, Ph.D. This session happened several years ago with a person who had been assaulted seven times. Since we didn’t have a lot of time, I decided to use the Museum Protocol to see if we could give Isabella1 some quick relief. Isabella: I am always scared of being mugged. I’ve been through seven assaults! Today when I stop the car at a light, I look sideways. I’m scared. I check the windows and when the light turns green, I move forward in a hurry. Therapist: I would like for you to pretend we are going to an Art Museum, but instead of the usual paintings hangings on the walls you see the pictures of these Experiences that you have gone through. Can you describe the first one for me? First picture: I was driving down a main highway. All of a sudden, a man stuck his arm into my car window and pulled at my watch. Four men appeared, telling me to get out of my car. I froze. Therapist: When you think about this picture, what expression best describes what you think about yourself now, that is negative, false and irrational? P: I’m afraid of dying… hmmm, I am in danger. T: OK, let’s go with, I am in danger. When you think about this scene, what expression best describes what you would like to think about yourself that is positive? P: I don’t want to be exposed to these assaults. I am safe. T: OK, let’s use I am safe as your Positive Cognition. When you think about this scene, on a scale of 1 to 7, where 7 is completely true and 1 is completely false, how true to you feel these positive words, I am safe, are now? P: It’s a 4. T: When you think about this scene and the negative words, I am in danger, what feelings come up for you now?”] P: I feel fear, a lot of fear. T: When you think about this scene, how much disturbance to you feel now, on a scale of 0 to 10, where zero is no disturbance and ten is the worst you can imagine? P: I think it’s a 10! T: Where do you feel this in your body? P: In my chest. T: OK, so let’s go back to this first scene that is now projected onto the wall of the Museum. Look at this scene, think about the negative words, I am in danger, observe where you feel this in your body – and follow the movements. (BLs = bilateral movements, in this case we were using eye movements.) Take a deep breath, let it out. And now? P: I feel a tightness in my chest. 1 Not her real name. We thank her for authorizing us to tell her story as well as the colleague who took copious notes during the session. www.plazacounselingservices.com * Esly Regina Carvalho, Ph.D. * Museum Protocol© T: Let’s go with that. (BLs) P: I’m still afraid. T: Let’s go with that. (BLs) P: I’m still afraid. T: What could you do with this picture for it to be different? (Here the therapist is using a solution- based cognitive interweave©, an interweave developed by this therapist.) P: I could remodel, reformulate, change the paint. T: Let’s go with that. (BLs) And now? P: Maybe if I had kept the window closed this wouldn’t have happened. (BLs) P: I think I was distracted. (BLs) P: Pure distraction. Maybe I was irresponsible. And it was irresponsibility and distraction because the children were in the car. (BLs) T: And you think you have a crystal ball? (BLs) P: That’s true… but I still don’t feel safe. If I have to go out at night, I go by taxi, because I am afraid. T: Is that fear or prudence? Think about that. (BLs) P: That’s true, it could be prudence. T: When you look at the picture now, has anything changed? P: Yes, I think I was distracted. Am I trying to expose myself to these assaults? I’m asking myself. T: Ask yourself and follow the movements. (BLs) P: I think I was too trusting. I never thought something like this could happen. (BLs) P: I want to lose this fear. (BLs) P: Nothing happened. (BLs) T: Going back to the first picture and using the scale of 0 to 10 where zero is no disturbance and 10 is the most you can imagine, how much disturbance to you feel now? P: I think it only went down to a seven. T: It doesn’t seem to go down, right? [Since there were several such Experiences, the therapist thinks that perhaps this disturbance connected to the first experience won’t go down until other experiences have been resolved.] T: So, let’s go to the second picture. Give me a few details about the second experience, and let’s see it projected on the wall of the museum. P: It was about 6 p.m. and I was going home from the university. I stopped at the light, and looked down for an instant, and when I looked up this big man had a gun pointing at me. He asked me for everything I had. When the light turned green, I took off, but my body felt absolute terror. I was so frightened. T: And when you look at this scene, and think about these words, I am in danger, how much disturbance to you feel now? P: Ah, it’s a 10. T: Look at this picture and think about the words, I am in danger, feel this in your body and follow the movements. (BLs) Take a deep breath. And now? P: The worst could have happened. I was able to break free. T: Let’s go with that. (BLs) Take a deep breath. And now? P: It’s over. It happened. It’s over and I am alive. (BLs) I still have the idea that it is dangerous to go out at a night, especially a woman by herself. T: Is that fear or prudence? (This is another cognitive interweave that offers a reality check to the client. Losing the fear does not mean losing prudence or good sense, because there really are www.plazacounselingservices.com * Esly Regina Carvalho, Ph.D. * Museum Protocol© dangerous situations that therapy will never resolve. This lady really did live in a very dangerous city.) P: People say that I’m crazy to keep looking around. T: Let’s go with that. (BLs) And now? P: No, no it’s not craziness. (BLs) T: And now? P: When I look at all of this, I think it could have been much worse! I came out of this alive! He didn’t take my car or my documents. T: Going back to the first picture and using the scale of 0 to 10 where zero is no disturbance and 10 is the most you can imagine, how much disturbance to you feel now? P: I think it’s a five. T: Think about this five. (BLs) And now? P: No, no, it’s not being crazy. (BLs) P: I don’t think it’s going to go down further right now. T: Let’s go to the next picture. An observation from the therapist: The therapist chose to continue with the next Picture for several reasons: 1) in spite of the fact that the patient said the level of disturbance didn’t go down, the truth was that it had gone from a 10 to a 5. She had also had several positive insights. A therapist suspected that the level of disturbance might not go down completely until all of the pictures had been cleared. She also had one eye on the clock, aware that she was probably going to have to finish with an incomplete session. She therefore wanted to get the processing going on some more networks to see if the reprocessing might continue while the patient slept that night, since they were going to continue the next morning. She thought this might help with the desensitization processing. Third picture T: So, let’s go to the third picture. Give me a few of the details of the third experience, and let’s see it projected on the museum wall. P: I was coming home from work, really tired. I think I had forgotten I had a package wrapped in bubble paper. When the thief reached in to get my purse in the back seat, the bubble paper made a noise. I was so frightened I just put it in reverse and took off. The car ran over the thief’s foot! T: And when you look at this scene, and think about these words, I am in danger, how much disturbance to you feel now? P: Ah, it’s a ten. T: Look at this picture and think about the words, I am in danger, feel this in your body and follow the movements. (BLs) Take a deep breath. And now? P: I had this thought: Wow! I’m becoming a specialist in getting out of getting these mugging situations! T: That’s true! Let’s go with that. (BLs) Take a deep breath. And now? P: That’s it… I can get free. T: That’s true. (BLs) Take a deep breath. And now? P: I am becoming a specialist in these situations.

Students are often reluctant to try new foods. Taste tests introduce new menu items in a way that raises awareness about healthy food choices, involves the school community, and builds a culture of trying new foods. Research has shown that children (and adults!) need to try new foods multiple times (up to twelve times!) before integrating them into their diet. School taste tests of New Hampshire Harvest of the Month products give students an opportunity to try locally produced and in-season foods each month. They may not like kale as kindergarteners, but providing regular opportunities for students to try it in various forms (chips, salads, smoothies, etc.) throughout their school years can lead to a whole new generation of kale lovers! When and where should Taste Tests take place? When: Taste tests work best when implemented on a regular schedule.

  • Characters for Classical Latin
    Characters for Classical Latin David J. Perry version 13, 2 July 2020 Introduction The purpose of this document is to identify all characters of interest to those who work with Classical Latin, no matter how rare. Epigraphers will want many of these, but I want to collect any character that is needed in any context. Those that are already available in Unicode will be so identified; those that may be available can be debated; and those that are clearly absent and should be proposed can be proposed; and those that are so rare as to be unencodable will be known. If you have any suggestions for additional characters or reactions to the suggestions made here, please email me at [email protected] . No matter how rare, let’s get all possible characters on this list. Version 6 of this document has been updated to reflect the many characters of interest to Latinists encoded as of Unicode version 13.0. Characters are indicated by their Unicode value, a hexadecimal number, and their name printed IN SMALL CAPITALS. Unicode values may be preceded by U+ to set them off from surrounding text. Combining diacritics are printed over a dotted cir- cle ◌ to show that they are intended to be used over a base character. For more basic information about Unicode, see the website of The Unicode Consortium, http://www.unicode.org/ or my book cited below. Please note that abbreviations constructed with lines above or through existing let- ters are not considered separate characters except in unusual circumstances, nor are the space-saving ligatures found in Latin inscriptions unless they have a unique grammatical or phonemic function (which they normally don’t).

  • Moving Straight Lines and Crosses Wherever You Move in Eurythmy, You Will Sense Space with Your Whole Body
    Moving Straight Lines and Crosses Wherever you move in eurythmy, you will sense space with your whole body. You will feel your whole body as it presses into space. When you more forward, your head, your chest, your belly, your legs and your feet will all press into space. When you move backwards, you will reverse that feeling. You will remember from the peace exercise how the space behind you is full of mystery and un-knowing. As you walk backwards, you will open your back, and press into space with the back of your head, the length of your back, that back of your legs. Similarly, when you walk to the sides, you will lead with the whole of your side: the side of your cheeks, your arm, your legs. In this way, all of space will come alive for you. First step: walking forwards and backwards Begin today’s practice by standing straight and tall, uniting heaven and earth. As you learned when you practiced threefold walking, feel the light above your head, gold in your heart, and strength in your legs. Use the graceful heart-centered technique of threefold walking, and always touch with the toes of the foot first. (However, you don’t need to walk as slowly as you did in the beginning.) Now walk four steps forward. Feel yourself pressing into space as you go. Change your intention before you go backward, so you can press into the back space. Now walk four steps backwards. Repeat this again and again, so you can really become conscious as you move P through space.

  • The Alignment of Screens
    The Alignment of Screens Felipe Raglianti , B.A.; M.A. Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Sociology, Lancaster University, 2016 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own work and that it has not been submitted in any form for the award of a higher degree elsewhere. Felipe Raglianti, June 2016 1 Abstract This thesis makes a distinction between screen and surface. It proposes that an inquiry into screens includes, but is not limited to, the study of surfaces. Screens and screening practices are about doing both divisions and vision. The habit of reducing screens to the display neglects their capacity to emplace separations (think of folding screens). In this thesis an investigation of screens becomes a matter of asking how surfaces and the gaps in between them articulate alignments of people and things with displays that, in practice, always leave something out of sight. Rather than losing touch with screens by reducing them to surfaces, in other words, I am interested in alternative screen configurations. For this task I sketch an approach that touches on screens through the figures of lines, surfaces, textures, folds, knots and cuts. Lines help me to make the case for thinking about screens as alignments. I then ask what kinds of observers emerge from reducing screens to single or digital surfaces. I trace that concern with Google Glass, a pair of “smartglasses” with a transparent display. To distinguish between screen and surface I suggest, through a study of biodetection and assistance dogs, how to qualify or texture screens within webs of relations.

    BIO-RAD TM HANDS-ON INQUIRY-BASED SCIENCE EDUCATION Life science is awesome and so much fun! Story inside A life science program opens doors . Jamie Allison had no idea what he was in for but he knew that for the sake of his students and their futures it was the best thing to do. He began his biotechnology program in 2005 on a leap of faith. Looking for any help he could get for his new program, Jamie went to the NSTA Annual Conference in Dallas, Texas. There he met the late Ron Mardigian, the founder of the Bio-Rad Explorer program, and he was off and running. “I took every Bio-Rad workshop I could. There was always someone coming over and helping me, giving me tips. I was part of a family and I knew right there that I was going to be taken care of. When I went back to the classroom, I had confidence. If something else went sideways, I could always call Bio-Rad and someone would help me.” Q&A With Jamie Allison Why start a biotech program? “Once they start dreaming, There was an initiative in Ohio to support you just let them go.” the growing bioscience industry by training workers.
