7 HANDSHAKE ALTERNATIVES FOR YOUR GOOD HEALTH 7 HANDSHAKE ALTERNATIVES FOR YOUR GOOD HEAL 1) VERBAL GREETING A verbal ‘Hello’ is simple and effective. Quickly follow your greeting with a question or a continued introduction of yourself. Jumping right into conversation will make for a smooth transition, handshake free. 2) FOOT TAP Similar to foot-operated door openers, a foot tap keeps your exchange germ-free. Plus, the unusual greeting can lighten the mood of any business meeting. 3) HEAD NOD Body language experts identify a small nod combined with a smile, signals encouragement and bonding. Furthermore, a head beckoning – the slight toss of the head backwards or quick dip of the head forward – is a signal of recognition. Try it – it works! 4) AIR-FIVE Cool and casual, the air-five is a fun variation of a “high five” without making contact. Best fit for colleagues, friends, and familiar faces. 5) THUMBS UP A thumbs up is a universal gesture indicating approval. I approve meeting you. 6) WAVE There are different types of waves: A large, overhead wave gains attention from across the room. Small up and down movements of fingers can signify a safe, unassuming greeting. A stationary hand, quick open/close of the palm is a confident, succinct hello. Queen’s wave – self-explanatory. Find a signature wave that suits your personality or mix it up. The world is your (waving) oyster. OF COURSE, MAKE A DECISION THAT MAKES SENSE FOR YOU. Meeting a new contact without a handshake will require practice. To keep your greeting pressure-free, stickers will be available at your choosing that read “No Handshakes, Please.” Wash your hands often. Stay home if you feel ill. .

Begin by introducing directional vocabulary using Vocabulary Cards, using movement, pictures, and language. Practice saying each word in English, and again using movement. 2. Next, watch the video “The Directions Song” found on YouTube. Watch the video with students. After showing the video once, watch it again, this time inviting students to move their wheelchairs with the directional vocabulary in video or ask students` aids to move the wheelchairs, creating a “Dance/Sing Along Experience”. 3. Invite students to play the game, themselves becoming the game pieces! On a small game board, students begin at a designated point outside the board. On a large game board, students begin within a square on the game board. One by one, students roll the die by knocking it off their wheelchair tabletop. Then, they `move` according to the die. Once they arrive at the GOAL square, they win! Play as long as time allows. Materials and Preparation: Over-sized Die: Use a cardboard box and resize it to make a cube with each side measuring .3 meters. Then, cover the cardboard with kid-friendly, soft felt. Next, write a different directional vocabulary word and a matching, simple picture on each side of the die.

Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali
Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Jennifer L. Goodlander August 2010 © 2010 Jennifer L. Goodlander. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali by JENNIFER L. GOODLANDER has been approved for the Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts by William F. Condee Professor of Theater Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GOODLANDER, JENNIFER L., Ph.D., August 2010, Interdisciplinary Arts Body of Tradition: Becoming a Woman Dalang in Bali (248 pp.) Director of Dissertation: William F. Condee The role of women in Bali must be understood in relationship to tradition, because “tradition” is an important concept for analyzing Balinese culture, social hierarchy, religious expression, and politics. Wayang kulit, or shadow puppetry, is considered an important Balinese tradition because it connects a mythic past to a political present through public, and often religiously significant ritual performance. The dalang, or puppeteer, is the central figure in this performance genre and is revered in Balinese society as a teacher and priest. Until recently, the dalang has always been male, but now women are studying and performing as dalangs. In order to determine what women in these “non-traditional” roles means for gender hierarchy and the status of these arts as “traditional,” I argue that “tradition” must be understood in relation to three different, yet overlapping, fields: the construction of Bali as a “traditional” society, the role of women in Bali as being governed by “tradition,” and the performing arts as both “traditional” and as a conduit for “tradition.” This dissertation is divided into three sections, beginning in chapters two and three, with a general focus on the “tradition” of wayang kulit through an analysis of the objects and practices of performance.

When to Shake Hands, Hug Or Kiss by ANDREW JACOBS OCT
A Traveler’s Guide to Customs: When to Shake Hands, Hug or Kiss By ANDREW JACOBS OCT. 21, 2016 Adrian Samson/Self Publish, Be Happy You’ve just landed in Beijing, Rio de Janeiro or Christchurch, New Zealand, and you’re greeted at the airport by a clutch of adoring locals. What is the polite way to greet them? Do you bow, or proffer your hand, or prepare to envelop the assembled strangers in an American-style embrace? More important: To kiss or not to kiss? The world may be increasingly globalized, but when it comes to greeting practices, local customs still prevail — and things can get awkward when, say, a hug-loving American businessman meets his Japanese counterpart for the first time. (Best just to bow.) If you find yourself facing a group of native Maoris in New Zealand, you’ll want to steel yourself for a traditional nose greeting, which involves touching snouts to one another’s foreheads. In Rio, local convention dictates three cheek kisses. But a few hours’ drive to the south in São Paulo, the single peck prevails. In Beijing, the locals prefer a nod and a smile. New Zealand: touching snouts. Adrian Samson/Self Publish, Be Happy In the interests of international fellowship and peace, here is an incomplete guide to world greetings. Lips Together? In much of Latin America, Europe and the Middle East, air kissing between strangers is common, but each nation, and in some cases each region within a country, may have its own habits. Argentine men will cheek-kiss one another, but only if they are friends of friends.

16 Gestures by 16 Months Children Should Learn at Least 16 Gestures by 16 Months Good communication development starts in the first year of life and goes far beyond learning how to talk.

Recognizing Communication Signals
Recognizing Communication Signals For individuals that are not able to communicate in conventional ways such as speaking, it is important to recognize the ways that they are able to communicate. While familiar communication partners understand each and every way that the individual communicates, it can be difficult for unfamiliar partners to read the more subtle signals. This tool is designed as a support for teams to determine an individual’s current communication skills and provide all those involved with the individual the same information.

This can be fun, but also can be a little complicated. The customs and rituals involved in greeting often differ from country to country, and unfamiliar customs may be confusing. The situation becomes even more complex when different greeting gestures are required between men and women, women and women, and men and men. Luckily, the ultimate pleasant gesture is used in every country. Although occasionally, in some cultures and under certain circumstances, it may have negative connotations, this ultimate gesture is seldom misunderstood
