School aims to bring "authentic" Montessori to Denver

For nearly a decade, Denver has been without a school recognized by Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), the institute founded by Maria Montessori in 1929.  A brand new school opening up in Denver’s Golden Triangle museum district, Bergamo Academy, is looking to change that.

"My husband and I are starting a school for own children and to bring authentic Montessori to Denver," said Meredith Malak, Head of School at Bergamo Academy.  She said Bergamo Academy is hiring only teachers certified by AMI, and that they are applying in the Fall to be the second school in Colorado recognized by AMI.

Initially trained as a medical doctor in the late nineteenth century, Maria Montessori devised her method over a fifty year career the first half of the twentieth century.  The Montessori Method emphasizes learning through movement and use of the hands.  Children work with "apparatuses" designed by Maria Montessori – they do not "play" with "toys".  By working independently in a social context, children develop internal self-motivation, problem solving abilities, and social graces.

Many schools have adopted the name "Montessori", but the term is not trademarked.  By the time Maria Montessori attempted to trademark her name in the U.S., the Patent and Trademark Office informed her that by that time the term had been in use by many people for many years and had already become a generic term.

Bergamo Academy’s 1000 Speer Blvd. location puts it just a few blocks from downtown Denver, and is close to the 6th Ave. exit of I-25, making it convenient to city dwellers and suburban households alike.

Bergamo Academy is currently enrolling toddlers (walking 14 months to 36 months old) and children for the Primary program, which is for ages two and a half to six years old.  An elementary program is planned for 2009.

Pepper Spray and Train Horns? Here�s The Story

The weather is still nice in California, even deep into fall. I had two acquisitions that I had been putting off so I thought I’d better jump to it.

First was to purchase a personal self-defense item for my girlfriend. She jogs in the evening and the nights are growing longer. She’s nervous at any approaching stranger. I had been looking at stun guns but she insisted on pepper spray. So I found some pepper spray dealers on-line and bought a product called Hot Walkers. They look like jogging weights but you can spray the pepper from the top. Neat huh? Now my girlfriend jogs with a sense of security.

Next was a toy for me. I had been thinking about getting a train horn kit for my Explorer for awhile. The kit features an air horn that replaces or compliments the stock truck horn and sounds just like a passing train horn. Back to the internet I went until I found a company called TrainHorn.org. Great selection of air horns and low prices! I chose a Dominion Stage 3 Blaster Train Horn kit. Dual compressors, big air tank, chrome quad horn. I just installed it last weekend (easy instructions) and it sounds awesome! So loud it could wake the dead!

Debt and Bill Consolidation

Debt and bill consolidation can be a great technique to get rid of your problematic financial situation. If your bills are beginning to fill your table, it can become really traumatic. To save yourself from the doom that is bankruptcy, bill consolidation might be the solution to your problem. Bill consolidation is most probably one of the most effective if not the most effective debt relief methods for debtors.

When looking for the perfect bill consolidation company for you, your best bet should be on those that specialize solely on debt management. Companies that delve into a number of other services will most of the time not have the reputation that you need. This is because they are not focused on debt management alone. A reputable bill consolidation company will have not only an idea but a plan that can tell you the exact date of full payment of your debt in their consolidation plan.

Moreover, you must always put the fees that should be paid to the companies that you are considering in comparison. Ask for a summary of each company?s fees. Through this, you will be able to decide on which plan you can afford and which best suit you. A few bill consolidation companies charge quite a hefty upfront fee. Unfortunately, through this method, a lot of debtors drop out from the consolidation program before it ends. This must be because of the lack of updates and monitoring and the large fee that was paid in the beginning. So, it is the opinion of a lot of experts that the payment of monthly fees is the better of all the methods.

What are the other advantages of debt consolidation? It aids you in properly managing your bills and loans, it ensures that you pay your obligations speedier and it can definitely improve your credit standing for future purchasing and borrowing plans. This will prevent future creditors from taking advantage of your desperation due to a low credit standing. Lower debt means lower term rates for your future loans. Last but most significant advantage, in my opinion, is the peace of mind that you will achieve by obtaining the services of a bill consolidation company. The psychological effect of having only about one or two monthly bill to take care of instead of a dozen is priceless especially for an individual who?s trying to balance his financial weighing scale.

Alcohol - Health and Social Aspects

Alcohol, or Ethyl Alcohol, is an intoxicating ingredient found in alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages can be categorised into three generic classes: beers, wines and spirits. Ethanol is a psychoactive drug that is found to have a depressant effect on all human beings.

Everyday millions of people around the world suffer from negative after-effects of drinking alcohol without even knowing that they already have become a victim of alcohol abuse. An innocent social habit gradually crosses over a physiological and psychological addiction to turn people into a heavy drinker. Over the time excessive consumption of alcohol will take its toll on the human body.

The Chemistry

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is produced by fermentation, a process that involves metabolism of carbohydrates by certain species of yeast in absence of oxygen.

How Much is OK?

Alcohol by volume or ABV defines the concentration of alcohol in a drink, in percentage by weight, abbreviated as w/w (weight/weight) or in proof. The proof measurement is twice the percentage of alcohol by volume at 60 degrees of Fahrenheit (i.e. 80 proof = 40% ABV).

Governments of some countries have defined limit on consumption of alcohol based on their geography, weather patterns and public health statistics. Basic recommendation of having alcohol defined by the Govt. of Australia is as follows:

* Men should not exceed 4 units or 40g of absolute alcohol per day on regular basis or 28 units per week
* Women should not exceed 2 units or 20g of absolute alcohol per day on regular basis or 14 units per week

In simpler version, one unit refers to 10g of pure alcohol in Australian standard whereas 8g or roughly 10ML of pure alcohol is equivalent to one unit in the UK. Current UK guidelines recommend men not to exceed 3 or 4 units per day.

Biologically, women body composition has less water than men. Even if the women and men have same size and same weight, the women tend to get drunk faster than men, which is why the recommended limit of consumption of alcohol is lower for women regardless of geographical location or country.

Alcohol Dependence

People, who drink very frequently, start to be dependent on alcohol and become addictive to the alcohol. Listed below are some of the symptoms and habits that help doctors determine whether a patient is dependent on alcohol or not:

* A strong urge to consume alcohol
* Physical withdrawal system, e.g. shaking, agitation, nausea and sweating when patient tries to reduce drinking
* A growing tolerance to alcohol
* Neglecting other activities
* Persistent drinking

Short-term and Long-term effects

Effects of alcohol change over the time. At the beginning alcohol makes people feel relaxed and cheerful, but further consumption leads to blurred vision, slurred speech, loss of balance and coordination problems. Large amounts of drink at one time may lead to unconsciousness, or even death.

Drinking alcohol for a prolonged period of time will cause physical damage and increase the chances of getting diseases such as alcohol-related liver disease, cardiovascular disease, brain damage, neurological problems, vitamin deficiency and some forms of cancer. Obesity, sexual problems, infertility and skin problems also directly linked with excessive drinking.

Social effects

Alcohol can have negative effects on daily social life. In most of the cases people shy away from the heavy drinker and do not socialize with the addicted person.

Alcohol can also make a person say things they do not mean to say at all. Alcohol intoxication can lead to rapes, unintended pregnancies, ruined relationships and other unwelcome incidents that do not happen in a normal life.

Conclusion

Drinking alcohol does not necessarily have to be associated with “producing negative impacts”. In fact, moderate drinking with plenty of water and appetizers can be quite enjoyable.

Excessive drinking does not only bring about social embarrassments and arouse intensity to commit criminal acts, but it also has as adverse effect on the human body. Once addicted, it’s not easy to quit alcohol, but it is possible to do so with medical help and social support.

If you are an alcohol abuse or you have a problem with alcohol consult with physician right away.

===================================

The responsible service of alcohol is an initiative by Australian State and local Governments to reduce the social and health problems associated with alcohol.RSA online training is available from South Bank Institute of Technology as well as RSA face-to-face RSA courses.
