Schizophrenia.com, Indepth Schizophrenia Information and Support Collaboration Beats Smarts In Group Problem Solving Hebrew Glossary Then name Ashkenaz (Bereishit 10:3) has since the 10th century been identified with Germany. As the German and French Jews of the medieval period formed a uniform group in culture and religious customs, they were all referred to as Ashkenazim in contradistinction to the Sefardim or Spanish- Portuguese Jews. Ashkenazim are the people who use Nusach Ashkenaz, the prayer arrangement adopted by the medieval Franco-German Jews, including certain variations described as belonging to the Polish custom (Minhag Polin). The Ashkenazim in Eastern Europe developed an intense religious life, disseminating Talmudic scholarship among the people to a degree never before surpassed in Jewish history. Chasidim and Mithnaggedim and followers of the Haskalah movement (Maskilim) presented a changing pattern of types, trends and ideologies. The vitality of the Ashkenazim still dominates wherever they are transplanted.
Lateral thinking Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. The term was coined in 1967 by Edward de Bono. [1] According to de Bono, lateral thinking deliberately distances itself from standard perceptions of creativity as either "vertical" logic (the classic method for problem solving: working out the solution step-by-step from the given data) or "horizontal" imagination (having many ideas but being unconcerned with the detailed implementation of them). Methods[edit] Critical thinking is primarily concerned with judging the true value of statements and seeking errors. Random Entry Idea Generating Tool: The thinker chooses an object at random, or a noun from a dictionary, and associates it with the area they are thinking about. Challenge Idea Generating Tool: A tool which is designed to ask the question "Why?" See also[edit]
Hebrew Language, Grammar Pronunciation-Transliteration (adapted from ) The complete original document can be obtained from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) For the ISO standard for binary representation of Hebrew, see ISO- 8859-8. Blue letters are printed, red letters are for handwritten script. For those letters which have a different form at the end of a word (i.e. kaf, mem, nun, pe, tzadi) the "sofi" (final) form appears leftmost. Note 29.11.98: draft ISO standard column added (based on article) in Ha'aretz weekend supplement, 27.11.98). The apostrophe ( ' ) when added to the letters gimel, zayin, and tzadik, produces three new letters which are used in modern Hebrew to represent foreign sounds (in words borrowed from French, English, Russian, ...) that do not exist in Biblical Hebrew. Rules of thumb for English to Hebrew transliterations (and for spelling words borrowed from Greek or Latin in Hebrew: t is transliterated as tet (e.g. universita), th is tav (theorema),
Creative problem solving Creative problem-solving, a type of problem solving, is the mental process of searching for a new and novel creative solution to a problem, a solution which is novel, original and not obvious. Creative solution types[edit] The creative solution[edit] To qualify as creative problem-solving, the solution must solve the stated problem in a novel way, and the solution must be reached independently.[1] Creative problem-solving usually begins with defining the problem. Typically a creative solution will have 'elegant' characteristics such as using existing components without introducing any new components into the solution (i.e. Many times a solution is considered creative if components that are readily available can be used, and when there is a short time limit within which to solve the problem. Innovations[edit] "All innovations [begin] as creative solutions, but not all creative solutions become innovations." Inventions[edit] Not all inventions are created through creative problem-solving.

Therapy Dogs International “Tail Waggin’ Tutors” Children Reading to Dogs The main objective of this program is to provide a relaxed and “dog-friendly” atmosphere, which allows students to practice the skill of reading. Many of the children chosen for this program have difficulties reading and as a result have developed self-esteem issues. They are often self-conscious when reading aloud in front of other classmates. By sitting down next to a dog and reading to the dog, all threats of being judged are put aside. As we have stated, improving the child’s skill of reading is the major benefit of the program. A Handler in the DVD points out that it “builds excitement about reading.” Another benefit is the joy children get from being around a dog. Unfortunately, not all children are comfortable around dogs. This program is of course, geared to helping the children.
Theology Theology is the systematic and rational study of concepts of God and of the nature of religious truths, or the learned profession acquired by completing specialized training in religious studies, usually at a university or seminary or school of divinity.[1] Definition[edit] Augustine of Hippo defined the Latin equivalent, theologia, as "reasoning or discussion concerning the Deity";[2] Richard Hooker defined "theology" in English as "the science of things divine".[3] The term can, however, be used for a variety of different disciplines or fields of study.[4] Theologians use various forms of analysis and argument (philosophical, ethnographic, historical, spiritual and others) to help understand, explain, test, critique, defend or promote any of myriad religious topics. Theology might be undertaken to help the theologian: History of the term[edit] Various religions[edit] Analogous discourses[edit] Theology as an academic discipline[edit] Theology and ministerial training[edit]
Potential Benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS of ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Dawn Oakley OTR/L and Gail Bardin, OTR/L According to journalist Odean Cusack, “Anyone who has ever owned a pet will readily verify the benefits of associating with furred, feathered, or finned friends. Animals are fun to be with and comforting to hold. Their antics inspire humor and a sense of carefreeness, a return to childhood with its buoyant spirits. Caring for pets encourages nurturance, responsibility, and adherence to a daily schedule. Pets enable owners to reach outside themselves and to put aside fears of an uncertain future. For children with special needs, the ability to interact with a dog, cat, or other furry friend can have a very positive impact upon their quality of life. The potential benefits of animal assisted therapy for children with special needs has been embraced by the Occupational Therapy staff at St. For additional information about the Assisted Therapy Program at St.
Is Animal Assisted Therapy Really the Cat's Meow? IN 1857 British novelist George Eliot wrote, “Animals are such agreeable friends. They ask no questions and they pass no criticism.” So it is no surprise that scholars have long been intrigued by the possibility that animals possess largely untapped therapeutic powers. But are animals good for our psychological and physical health, either as pets or as “therapists”? Most Americans are animal lovers; about 63 percent of U.S. households contain one or more pets, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association. Though interesting and potentially important, studies such as these are difficult to interpret because pet owners may differ in unmeasured ways from people who do not own pets. Easing Stress? Few would contest the claim that pets can give us comfort, especially in times of strain or loneliness. Leisure vs.
