Зі зростанням соціального та науково-технічного прогресу зростають і вимоги до рівня освіти та знання ІМ, зростає обсяг різномовної інформації в науці, культурі, освіті, правовій сфері тощо, тому володіння ІМ є важливим та обов’язковим компонентом у характеристиці фахівця. Основною метою навчально-методичного посібника «English for Law Enforcement» є вироблення навичок володіння англійською мовою у галузі правоохоронної діяльності та ознайомлення курсантів з базовими темами повсякденного життя й основами теорії правоохоронної діяльності. Курс охоплює структуру правоохоронної галузі України, її завдання та цілі, статті Закону України «Про міліцію», класифікацію злочинів, види покарань, різновиди та комплектацію вогнепальної зброї, емоційно- психологічний портрет людини та її фоторобот та ін. Матеріал курсу викладено у цікавій формі доступною для слухачів мовою. Навчально-методичний посібник має чітку організаційну структуру: вона нараховує десять тематичних блоків, кожен з яких включає такі частини: * вступ – «розігрівальні» вправи, які підвищують мотивацію вивчення теми та заохочують поширити власний кругозір; * основна частина: читання текстів з подальшим обговоренням, практичне використання вокабуляру, активне опрацювання граматики, аудіювання та / або передгляд відеоматеріалів, усне діалогічне та монологічне мовлення, письмове мовлення, креативна робота. * заключна частина: переклад автентичних текстів, які містять ключові лексичні одиниці, граматику зазначеного тематичного блоку, з їх подальшим оговоренням та / або написанням відгуку. Запропоновані теми можна вивчати як системно, так і вибірково. 4 У курсі передбачено оволодіння опорними лексичними термінами та фразами, які згруповані у специфічні теми, що дає змогу визначити доцільність їх застосування у відповідних ситуаціях; огляд граматичного підгрунтя англійської мови, що представлене на тлі висловів та текстів, пов’язаних з щоденною діяльністю працівника огранів внутрішніх справ. У курсі передбачено вправи на розвиток основних видів мовленнєвої діяльності: читання, писання, аудіювання, мовлення. При цьому форма окремих завдань змінюється у кожному з блоків для того, щоб уникнути монотонності під час навчання. Особливої уваги заслуговують творчі завдання, націлені на розвиток письмового та усного мовлення, а також застосування інтерактивних методів слухачами під час самопідготовки. Для пізнання лінгвокультурологічних засад розроблено ряд вправ, які спираються на відеоресурси, що дозволяє активізувати навички аудіо-візуального сприйняття дійсності. Опанувавши матеріал курсу, курсанти та слухачі зможуть писати офіційні та неофіційні листи, статті, розповіді, складати доповіді, звіти, оформлювати документи; вільно розмовляти у повсякденних та професійноспямованих ситуаціях, висловлювати думки у виді монологів; сприймати автентичні матеріали; перекладати тексти (англійсько-український, українсько-англійський переклад) тощо. Навчально-методичний посібник «English for Law Enforcement» можна використовувати як на аудиторних заняттях, у групах, під час індивідуального навчання, так і у самостійній підготовці, що сприятиме розвитку та покращанню професійних здібностей працівників правоохоронної діяльності й стане запорукою вільного інтернаціонального (міжкультурного) спілкування. Посібник рекомендовано курсантам, ад’юнктам, практичним працівникам ОВС та викладачам. 5 UNIT TOPIC VOCABULARY READING GRAMMAR 1. It isn’t just a Militia: Ranks, When God Noun, present job!

  • Media Coverage Supporting Bottled Water on College Campuses
    College Campus Toolkit Third Party Letters to the Editor Letters to the Editor & Articles Supporting Bottled Water The articles and letters below present arguments and positions in support of bottled water. They were published in newspapers and magazines and were not written by IBWA. These articles and letters provide some good examples of potential talking points and arguments, including the importance of consumer choice and the availability of healthy beverage options. College Campus Ban Related Campus Times: “Questioning the bottle ban” February 21, 2013 http://www.campustimes.org/2013/02/21/questioning-the-bottle-ban/ Roughly 16 universities across the United States and Canada have banned the sale of bottled water on their campuses, according to the “Ban the Bottle” campaign website. Team Green is hoping to add UR to that list. The on-campus discussion has focused mainly on whether bottled or tap water is better, with Team Green conducting taste tests and some student surveys. Unfortunately, that is not the real issue at hand. The real debate is about whether or not banning all bottled water sales is the right decision for this campus. It’s not. Environmentally, it would seem that banning all bottled water would reduce waste, but there are unseen consequences. First, it takes much more energy to make reusable water bottles than it does to make recyclable plastic water bottles. A 1994 article in “Environmental Management” demonstrated that you would need to use a standard, reusable plastic cup over 200 times in order for its energy impact — including dish washing — to be less than that of foam cups.

  • College Campus Toolkit
    College Campus Toolkit Protect Your Right to Purchase Bottled Water The Healthiest Packaged Beverage Choice October 2016 Contents How to Use This Toolkit 3 Important Facts About Bottled Water 4 Planning Meetings With Interest Groups 6 Where to Find the Facts 7 How to Start a Petition 8 Using Social Networks 9 Letter to Editor (LTE) Template 10 Sample LTEs 14 Bottled Water Facts (PDF) 22 2 HOW TO USE THIS TOOLKIT A few colleges have restricted or banned access to bottled water on their campuses. This action, while on the surface might seem well-intended, will have negative health and environmental consequences, and are not in the public interest. New research shows when bottled water is not available in a vending machine, people choose other packaged beverages, which may contain sugar, caffeine, and other additives. They don’t necessarily go looking for a drinking water fountain. The results of a new UVM bottled water sales ban study supports that conclusion. The study: “The Unintended Consequences of Changes in Beverage Options and the Removal of Bottled Water on a University Campus,” published this month in AJPH, concluded that the bottled water sales ban at the University of Vermont (UVM) resulted in a significant increase (33 percent) in the consumption of sugary drinks and an increase (6 percent) in the amount of plastic bottles entering the waste stream. The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) has developed this helpful toolkit to assist IBWA members, college students and staff, and private citizens in protecting their right to choose bottled water – a convenient, safe, and healthy packaged beverage.

Without these documents, the best investigative reporting in the world could not have produced a book, and the secrets of CIA mind-control work would have remained buried forever, as the men who knew them had always intended. From the documentary base, I was able to expand my knowledge through interviews and readings in the behavioral sciences. Neverthe- less, the final result is not the whole story of the CIA's attack on the mind. Only a few insiders could have written that, and they choose to remain silent. I have done the best I can to make the book as accurate as possible, but I have been hampered by the refusal of most of the principal characters to be interviewed and by the CIA's destruction in 1973 of many of the key docu- ments.

  • Buffalo Sabres Digital Press
    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips December 15, 2014 Zadorov leads Sabres over Panthers By Jonah Bronstein Associated Press December 13, 2014 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Nikita Zadorov scored his first NHL game-winner Saturday night to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 4-3 overtime win over the Florida Panthers. "I probably never had that big a goal in my life," the 19-year-old defenseman said. "It's a great feeling and I'm going to try to do it again." Zadorov took a crossing pass from Tyler Ennis and scored 29 seconds into overtime to cap the comeback victory, Buffalo's third in a row and ninth in the past 12 games. Brian Gionta scored the tying goal with 14:33 left in regulation for the Sabres, who have overcome third period deficits in four of their last five wins. Marcus Foligno and Cody Hodgson also had goals for Buffalo and Jhonas Enroth made 25 saves. "The team feels good about themselves," coach Ted Nolan said. "They're playing hard for one another and when you do that good things happen. So right now, knock on wood, things are going good for us." Jussi Jokinen, Sean Bergenheim and Jimmy Hayes scored goals for Florida (12-8-8), which had won its last five meetings with Buffalo. Backup goaltender Al Montoya stopped 28 shots for the Panthers, who picked up three points on a three-game road trip after losing Monday in St. Louis and winning in a shootout Friday in Detroit. "Overall we got three points in three tough buildings," Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said.

  • A Substantive Theory on the Value of Group Music Therapy for Supporting Grieving Teenagers
    Qualitative Inquiries in Music Therapy 2010: Volume 5, pp. 1–42 Barcelona Publishers TIPPING THE SCALES: A SUBSTANTIVE THEORY ON THE VALUE OF GROUP MUSIC THERAPY FOR SUPPORTING GRIEVING TEENAGERS Katrina McFerran1 ABSTRACT The value of group music therapy for bereaved young people has been described in a number of studies using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. This article details a qualitative investigation of a school-based program in Australia and presents the results of a grounded theory analysis of focus-group interviews conducted with adolescents. A brief empirical theory is presented in combination with a set of relational statements which conceptualize the phenomenon. This theory states that bereaved teenagers feel bet- ter if they have opportunities for fun and creative expression of their grief alongside their peers. This statement is compared to findings in the literature and addresses clinically re- levant issues of: how music therapy engages young people; what active music making means in this context; what constitutes the action of ―letting your feelings out‖; how the group influences the outcomes of its members; and how important a specific bereavement group is compared to a group with a broader ―loss and grief‖ focus. INTRODUCTION: SITUATING THE RESEARCH The research project described in this paper emerged from my clinical experience work- ing with young people whose parents or siblings had died of cancer while supported by a community based palliative care program. Music therapy became fundamental to the pro- vision of support for these young people because of the creative and non-verbal oppor- tunities that were available through it.
