Now I hear the sound of a quickly spinning wheel. It must be a dolphin trying to find its next meal. In murky water the dolphin’s as blind as a bat. 10 It uses clicks to “see” where it is at. Using sonar, the sounds bounce off what’s near. Distance, depth, and size are what the dolphin can hear. Moans and squeaks echo in the abyss. Dolphins alert each other of danger in their midst. 15 Atop their heads, the blowholes emit sound As if beautifully played instruments abound. In the boat I can hear many sounds from the sea.

  • Wouldn't It Be Great If Your Teachers Knew What the State Standards
    Welcome to my ebook! My hope is that you use this book to reduce the amount of interruptions in your classroom and earn respect from students and parents at the same time! Why do teachers have to explain why each rule exists? Everyone remembers their time in school. For most, it was a time of innocence, learning, and fun. Some remember it as a painful time…filled with bullies, mean teachers, and not being part of the “cool” group. People’s attitudes towards school remain unchanged with the passage of time, and their painful memories cloud their perception of what goes on in schools today. This has led to the erosion of power wielded by educators, as parents have increasingly resisted the school’s attempts to make their student “conform” to the standards of behavior considered acceptable by our society in previous years. In this book, I list the reasons why we now have to explain to students why they have to follow specific rules. * “Top-Down” Leadership Is A Thing Of The Past – In the “Good Ol’ Days” of business, employees complied with the rules of the office or factory, no questions asked. If a worker had the audacity to ask why a certain rule had to be followed, the boss would reply “Because I said so!” As time passed, workers formed unions, studies were done that showed workers were happier and more productive if they were allowed to provide input to their bosses as to how the company should be run. Pretty soon, “collaboration” became the order of the day.

  • "Through Your Eyes" by Nicolas Cole
    Nicolas Cole Through Your Eyes SYNOPSIS: Through Your Eyes is a story about a girl who crossed my path several years ago. If you’d like to read the story that comes before this one, Click Here. This short story begins three years after our relationship ended. After many failed attempts on both our parts to mend, we met up one last time for coffee to talk things through. It was clear she had changed a lot, and so had I. Yet, although we had become very different people, I still recognized what I loved most about her—and despite my best efforts, I was not yet over the girl sitting opposite of me. As we walked out the door and to the nearest train, it was clear there was much left undiscussed—and were both purposefully avoiding it. When it came time to part ways, we began to laugh. We knew each other too well. “I feel like I need to say something,” I said. Her posture went rigid and her eyes widened. “Ok,” she said. I could tell she was nervous. “I’m still in love with you,” I said. The entire city went quiet. 3 years, I had been lying to myself. 3 years, I had tried to suppress how I felt to move on. 3 years I had shut people out, focusing only on myself and my growth, setting goals and achieving them. 3 years I had insisted I was perfectly fine without her. Hearing those words come out of my mouth, “I’m still in love with you,” made me realize that much of my frustration and anger and pain hadn’t been because of her, but because I had not been honest with myself.

XII Therapy with the Terminally Ill .................. ========================= Foreword by C. Murray Parkes °I wish I could tell people how nice it can be to die of cancer." These surprising words were spoken to me recently by a woman who died peacefully a few days later. She never met Dr. Kubler-Ross, but I do not doubt that, had she been a patient in Billings Hospital, she would have been glad of the opportunity to talk about dying at Dr. Ross's seminar and to have attempted to exorcise the irrational fears to which doctors and clergy as well as patients and their relatives are subject. Not that it is entirely irrational to fear death. Whatever we believe is to come after death, the loss of so many of the things that we prize must be painful, and since our own death gives grief to others it is natural that we feel sad on their behalf. But the relinquishment of life is possible (particularly if, through illness, our body has lost its appetite for living), and grief can pass. Those who have the privilege of caring for the person who is about to die know that the final phase of life can be a time of peaceful acceptance, a time of calm which contrasts with the tensions and frustrations of the battle for survival.

  • Good Morning, Midnight
    Jean Rhys - Good Morning, Midnight PART ONE Quite like old times,' the room says. 'Yes? No?' There are two beds, a big one for madame and a smaller one on the opposite side for monsieur. The wash-basin is shut off by a curtain. It is a large room, the smell of cheap hotels faint, almost imperceptible. The street outside is narrow, cobble-stoned, going sharply uphill and ending in a flight of steps. What they call an impasse. I have been here five days. I have decided on a place to eat in at midday, a place to eat in at night, a place to have my drink in after dinner. I have arranged my little life. The place to have my drink in after dinner....Wait, I must be careful about that. These things are very important. Last night, for instance. Last night was a catastrophe....The woman at the next table started talking to me - a dark, thin woman of about forty, very well made up. She had the score of a song with her and she had been humming it under her breath, tapping the accompaniment with her fingers. 'I like that song.' 'Ah, yes, but it's a sad song. Gloomy Sunday.' She giggled. 'A little sad.' She was waiting for her friend, she told me. The friend arrived - an American. He stood me another brandy and soda and while I was drinking it I started to cry. I said: 'It was something I remembered.' The dark woman sat up very straight and threw her chest out.
