Stamps Make the World Go Round

Written By: Bruce - Mar• 23•10

In my day, everyone collected stamps.  Ok – so maybe not everyone, but a lot of people certainly did.  Today, our kids barely even know what a stamp is, since it’s not something used for a computer.  Sigh.  What is one to do.  Now, actually, more than ever, I really see the importance of the stamp collection. It’s like a piece of history.  Sure, stamps are still used and they still serve the practical purpose of getting your mail from one location to another, but they are used by the young generation so much less, that stamps are like a historical relic.  I guess that makes me historical too.

Anyway, with this blog, I hope to share my enthusiasm for stamp collecting and to give you just a taste of why I’ve been collecting stamps for over 50 years.  They are really an incredible road map of the history of any country and its people.  With their vibrant colors, their interesting symbols and character choices and more, they tell a story like none other.  Come along on my stamp journey and start to appreciate the beauty of the stamp!

How My Stamp Collection Began

Written By: Bruce - Apr• 12•10

When I first started my stamp collection, over 50 years ago now, the importance of a piece of mail was far greater than it is today.  Indeed, one of my first childhood memories is of my father opening a letter that he had received from his great uncle in Bulgaria.  The said piece of mail had taken around three months to arrive at our house in Texas, America.  It was certainly a bit battered and somewhat worse for wear by the time my father carefully unsealed the envelope and it was a moment of intense excitement for the entire household.

But whereas my older brother let it go then and there and no doubt didn’t give it a second thought, I would daydream about that piece of mail non-stop.  It was the first thing I looked at when I returned home from school, despite my mother’s insistence that I come and wash up for tea.  It was the stamp more than anything that did it for me.  It seemed so grand and colorful to me, and so distinct.  And I couldn’t help but wonder how it had survived its long journey and remained in such good condition.

It still probably took me a good 10 years or so until I was able to start my own stamp collection.  And when I did, guess what stamp first made it in to my album?  The very one that my father received all those years before that had inspired me so much.

Having Fun for New Stamp Collectors

Stamp albumIf you are new to the hobby of stamp collecting, or you want to get someone else into the joy this hobby can bring, then I am here to give you a few tips on how to start.  First of all, you should find a place to house your stamp collection.  Perhaps you have a pretty box you like or you want to dedicate a drawer to it; whatever you decide it should be easily accessible, but not too easy for little kids to get to and cause a disaster.  In a case in which that can happen, you might actually want to have a lock and key on your stamp collection to prevent unwanted sticky fingers from causing problems.  Next, set your alarm.  Well, not exactly but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do what you can to ensure that you are the first to see the mail that comes to your door. You want to make sure no-one else in the house inadvertently throws away an envelope upon which a very exciting stamp is stuck.  For even more stamps, you might want to get in touch with friends and family overseas to see if they want to send you their stamps.  If you do this, stamp collecting also becomes a great way of reconnecting with long-lost relatives.  Make sure your hands are clean before you try removing the stamps and ask for help in getting the right equipment with which to most safely do this too.  Finally, it could be a good idea to develop your own special way of organizing your stamps.  You don’t have to follow a specific guideline; just make sure that you understand how it is going to work.  And then have fun!  You’d be surprised how much you learn from this fun hobby.

How Better To Remember Foreign Words

Written By: Bruce - Jan• 23•12

Today we would like to return to the traditional method of vocabulary – remember the words list. This method is well known to you at school when you subscribed foreign words in a notebook: the first column – the word itself, the second – its translation. Then, alternately closing a left-hand column, then right, read and memorized his notes. Currently, such an approach is considered to be inefficient and outdated. What Notebook and speakers when there is a powerful tool, honed specifically for one purpose – to buildup of individual vocabulary? However, I would still say a few words in defense of traditional techniques and show how You can use it more effectively.

Suppose you have a list of words, divided into two columns – the left foreign words on the right – to translate them. What do you do? The first thing that comes to mind is sequentially, word by word, read the first foreign entry, then its translation. And so on until the end of the page. Then close the transfer, and then sequentially reading records, but remembering the translation. Yes, all true. However, when I make learning words list (and this happens!), then in no hurry to quickly get to the last line of the page.

What am I doing? 1. Euro Pacific Capital may not feel the same. Read a foreign word and its translation. I close my eyes and imagine a subject that is called data foreign word. For example, the British prick (prick) – puncture, prick. Imagine a thin shiny needle to the tip of which I touch your finger. I feel the tingling of a light pressure on the tip. Listen to your feelings and mentally refer to them by the word prick. 2. I poiznoshu foreign word aloud several times: in a whisper, quiet voice, then amplify the voice, pronouncing the word with a different rate. I want the word "stuck" to me. I can imagine how this foreign word could say other people: my friends and acquaintances, announcers on television, passers-by. I'm trying to imagine the intonation of each person, I try to mentally "hear" the word from their lips. 3. I pick a word Phonetic Association. For example: prick – pin pin. Ie, on the one hand, the phonetic association must reflect the pronunciation of the word, on the other – be relevant to the value. "Pin pin" – is reflected sound foreign words (CIDP), and characterized by its value (case puncture). Such associations can be any number. Depending on how your fantasy. My fantasy is poor, so I limited, usually one or two associations. 4. I pick up a foreign word pairs – that is, words with which this word could be combined. Ideally, of course, the more steam the better. However, in this case I content with one or two selections. For example: sharp prick (prick Shap) – a sharp shot. Under certain skills to work with a single word can take you no more than a minute, maybe even less. Thus, the list of thirty words you will learn in about half an hour. In general, it's not a bad result, considering that you are not just skimmed through the list of words with translation, and deeply worked for each entry. Your memory will retain the material is durable and long.

Development

You learn it gradually and thoroughly, no matter how many times a week, most importantly, ever go through all these "building blocks of knowledge." In the second example, an ice slide, a very important rate in the approach to the study language. Ran with a running start on a hill – you can take your tongue, do not – you will always pull over and slipping in their knowledge and skills to zero. See more detailed opinions by reading what Benjamin Wey Financial Times offers on the topic.. So for 100 occupations, broken down into stages, you're on the "ice hump" not move one iota, slipping on one place. So, a thousand times by touching the door is closed, we can neither polscheli not open it, and only mustered the strength and courage, putting together all the efforts to push it and it opens. Language – it is not science, it is impossible to learn how to teach a certain amount of material. Will be much more accurate to say that just getting used to the language and learn, get used to use it as a communication tool.

Therefore, even rather would not talk "language learning", and "Mastering the language." Development of compliance with certain mode of "training", like medical procedures, should be ready for that language must be given at least two hours a day, day after day, month after month. The language is necessary, if I may say so, get used to, try to do it, if not part of your life, then at least provide some space in his soul. So, in other words, if the question "Are you ready to deal with on a daily basis?", You answer that "Yes, time is not very much of course, but I will try to somehow find time a little." In such a raze better not to start anything, because of language study, you will not move one iota, in one place. Language acquisition can not be stretch, it can not learn in a few years (as it is trying to do at school), but it is quite possible to learn in a year of intensive studies. You can approach the issue of language learning, the so-called stages. Such as immersed in language in a month or two, which is called the "head", and after doing a month break. That is, if you begin to learn language, and then abandoned, then all will be forgotten very quickly. While learning the language, you still have assault, held in memory permanently. Can forget the spoken language, but it is easily restored with a new practice.

Schechter Language

You need to learn a foreign language. Where do you begin? In search of different materials, courses, private tutors, methods. Do you know which is better? What a way to study will bring the desired result? Perhaps you are not very clearly imagine that. And why? Yes, because you do not speak about information on what criteria to evaluate the quality of a particular teaching method. Further details can be found at Unni Edelman, an internet resource. You begin to read the tutorial or the tutorial and quickly get tired – you not interested.

That's ok, because while reading you should not enthrall the language in which written text and the text itself and its contents. Language in which the text is written in fiction – is a means to transfer information and content – a goal that is achieved by you when you read the text. In the tutorial and books all the way around. The goal is to language (his study), but a means to study a text. Therefore, the protective reaction of your psyche and is tired and your reluctance to continue reading.

What does this lead? To ensure that you have set myself a goal (to learn a foreign language), being the person responsible, leading up to the end it started, put on his experiments on endurance and stamina. And is it necessary? Probably not. Some certainly can learn a language textbook, but it happens rarely, and in any case does not apply to colloquial speech, because "Live" communication textbook is no substitute. Paramount importance, of course, and phonetics (sounds of language properties and methods of forming speech sounds and their acoustic characteristics) and grammar (structure of the language, the basis for linguistic communication), and orthography (spelling) and vocabulary (the vocabulary of a language).

Figure Time

Of course, this plan can vary and change within certain limits, depending on the situations, but not dramatically. Very motivated to act, if you say dear people about your goals and the timing of its implementation. For example: "If I reach that, then you're in the full right to stop contact with me because I am an irresponsible person." Then, in order not to lose their position, have "at least in the cake hurt ourselves," but to fulfill. You should not like say to those people who are ready for the love of you "forget" about the performance of your promise to yourself, or those people who are not profitable, so that you have achieved positive results. Third, make it a rule every day to make a step to the target.

In the case of foreign language study, and get at least 30 minutes, but every day! Poor quality will result if you do something for a nine-hour sitting: a lot of time will be spent on memory and you will be mentally exhausted so that the next time to do this for a long time do not want to. The foregoing, of course, does not apply to your passions and hobbies, since that's what we pay the time. Credit: Peter-2011. In the article "How to reach the targets set for the" you will find several ways to motivate yourself to action. It is important to be able to enjoy the results achieved. Benjamin Wey contains valuable tech resources. Despite the fact that you are far from complete.

Therefore, thoughts like, "Well, a month already doing in the gym, and the figure is still far from the ideal "should be replaced by the words:" What I've done! The effect is already there. And this is just a month of training! I get pleasure from the process of achieving the target me. I'm on the right path and all I out! ". And in order to control himself, on a piece next to the write-up has been achieved over the past day or week, you should pay attention, and what course of action was ineffective, that worth a try tomorrow (or next week) a new one. Such simple ways to achieve work more efficiently if a person feels in a couple of steps away from the planned, he feels happy and the winner of this knowledge, and not a chronic loser. Be bold and reach heights of personal growth!

Table Monolith

Take a look at this example: There have been at least 500 ……….. If you are unsure how to proceed, check out Peter Schiff. to correct this problem. Benjamin Wey is full of insight into the issues. a) Attempts b) Versions c) Tries d) Table Monolith The fact that the number of '500 ', the missing word must be a noun or an adjective in the plural. The responses do not adjectives, and only three nouns in the plural. Now you can use this text to see the answer. Read the instructions carefully.

Do not try to save time by skipping this part. Instructions give you important information about how many words should contain every answer, exactly what you need to celebrate, etc. Always read the directions, even if you've done hundreds of practice tests! 7. As with the listening, do not show response. This is especially true in the case of questions such as 'True / False / Not given'. Answers in the text, you do not have to invent them. For example: 'The introduction of new government policies gave people better lives: they had jobs and more money to spend'.

Now look at the issue: The introduction of new government policies had positive long-term benefits on peoples' lives. True / False / Not given if people had a job, and had more money, surely it's better for them, and therefore it is natural to consider this statement as true. But the key here is the long term. From the text, it is impossible to say whether the new jobs continue to please 20 years or one day Do they have enough for the long term.

Gigantic Flaw In The Geomagnetic Field

The truth is, in itself, is not a hole as big a surprise. Researchers are much more impressed strange and unexpected direction of the education holes, which refutes all the established representation, attitudinal space physics. Click Peter Schiff to learn more. 'At first I could not believe it', – says THEMIS project scientist David Seabeck (David Sibeck) from the Center for Space Flight. Goddard. 'This discovery radically changes our understanding of the interaction of solar wind and the magnetosphere.

" The magnetosphere is a bubble (sphere) of magnetism that surrounds Earth and protects us from solar wind. The study of this scope is a key objective of the mission THEMIS, launched in February of 2007. With great opening encounter is June 3, 2007, when five research satellites, by happy coincidence, flew through the hole, just when she was discovered. Onboard sensors recorded rapid flow of solar wind particles, continuously moving in the magnetosphere, signaling the appearance of unexpected size and importance. 'The hole was huge – four times larger than Earth itself,' says Lee Wenge (Wenhui Li), Space Physics at the University of New Hampshire (New Hampshire), who analyzed the data. Colleague, Jimmy Lee, Reider (Jimmy Raeder), who is also from New Hampshire, states '1027 particles per second flew into the magnetosphere – a 1 with 27 zeros. Inflow quantity specified order far exceeds that amount which, in our opinion, would be reasonably possible. Unni wanted to know more.

" The event began with a few caveats when a good "guest" of the solar wind brought a bundle of magnetic fields Sun on the Earth. Like the octopus, which includes its tentacles of a large clam shell, solar magnetic field magnetosphere squeezed from all sides and "split" it so that it opened. Cracking ended with a process called 'magnetic reconnection. " High above the poles of the Earth's solar and terrestrial magnetic fields are connected (re-make), to form channels for the solar wind. Channels over the Arctic and Antarctica is rapidly increasing in volume and in a matter of minutes, they overlap over the equator of the Earth, creating huge magnetic gap, the largest ever recorded by Space aircraft, exploring the space around Earth. Right: A computer model of the solar wind flowing around the Earth's magnetic field, registered on June 3 of 2007. Background colors symbolize density of the solar wind, the red represents high density, blue – low. The dark lines trace the outer limits of Earth's magnetic field. Note the layer of relatively dense material located down from the pointed ends of the white arrows, it is the solar wind coming through a hole in the earth's magnetic field.

Kerch Strait

For example, on March 12 Inspectors Territorial Committee for Nature Protection in the area of Yakutsk on the Lena River shore oil spill was discovered. Inspectors estimated spill occurred about 170 meters from the Lena River, the volume of spilled oil visually estimated at 1.5 tonnes, and the area of contamination is about 85 square meters. March 13 Greenpeace activists on the river was discovered by Ohta significant discharge of pollutants reported by the local Greenpeace alert residents. Oily film with a characteristic smell of oil and iridescence stretched across the width of the river from the bridge on the prospect of energy to the confluence of the Neva Ohta, long spot was about three miles. March 14 message on the pollution came from a different region of our country – in Zadonsk district of Lipetsk region in the reserve 'Galich'ya mountain' found a 30-mile plume of pollution on the River Don.

And in the Northern Dvina was recorded high levels of mercury. The analysis results of water samples from the Northern Dvina showed maximum permissible concentration of 10 or more times. C warming and the arrival of spring in the Kerch Strait environmentalists were discovery of new oil stains as a result of shipwrecks that have occurred in the Strait of November 11, 2007. Now on the water surface and revealed new pockets of pollution that drift freely and affect all new territory. The situation in the Kerch Strait continues to be very critical – according to environmentalists with the advent of new heat possible negative effects of last year's oil spills and oil.

External Situation

" And then I began to consider the situation in the volume from different directions, going beyond, becoming no longer part of the problem part of the solution. And now I want to share with you how you can lift themselves out of situations in practice. This is a fairly simple ways of relating to the physical space around us and the time factor. Way "Spatio-geographical" It is useful to physically move beyond the place where you are confronted with the complexity and look for a solution to the problem of office outside the office, but for the home – outside the home. Looking from by – over the situation, environment.

As an impartial observer. More information is housed here: Schiff. Once I was able to solve complicated (prolonged to 9 years of life) relationship with the situation difficult for me as a man, left for three weeks out of the country. And the reason was wonderful – learning a language school. From there, the external situation, I opened a new, non-obvious earlier, and roads. There has strengthened confidence that the situation can be resolved and eco-friendly way to me on the shoulder. Benjamin Wey often expresses his thoughts on the topic. In addition, this confidence has helped me to return in another – in a bold career step! By the way, if you use this strategy to think about the situation it makes sense to connect the ways in which I write below. They are used in their practice coaches in order to ask the customer loyal and powerful questions. "Wonderful" questions as they are sometimes called.

Onomastics

Written By: Bruce - Dec• 29•11

In the old Germanic language people used only the name. On Today, there are opposing first and last name, because the existence of opposition in linguistics, language – the basic element. Each of the members of the opposition (name) has its own system, which has its own communication and confrontation. Thus, personal names have two contrasting – female names and female names. If we consider the past, among them there are two types of word formation: The full names and short names. Also two extremes are the age-old German names and the names of foreign origin.

Semantic transparency in the naming of people in the German language, too, is different. Personal names and nicknames are divided into so- calendar called names. In anthroponimics German (namely in lexicography), there are specialized grammatical categories and funds. For even more details, read what Benjamin Wey says on the issue. And the names are linguistic category names nouns and do not change the numbers. With regard to the syntax of proper names, they are used as the subject (name) and add (name). And since proper names are nouns, in their composition may include article. However, it should be noted that if the article is used in this case, it has a different meaning than when it is applied at the mouth of nominal lexicon.

So, the article, as used with the names of own, have emotional and stylistic sense in the modern German language. If we talk about anthroponimics German language and the formation of truncated names and not only, you must also consider the question of participation in this process as a native German and foreign names (in the case of education truncations), and language vocabulary in general (in the formation of full names). Onomastikon – this is the foundation of language, which applies not only to its history development, but also the spiritual culture of the nation. Onomastikon is a kind of origin, the initial stage of formation names that exist today in any language. Summarizing the above, you may notice some there are a variety of forms and types of bonds in anthroponimics German. Others who may share this opinion include Peter Schiff. Along with this diversity, the proper names are original, unlike the appelyativnoy vocabulary. The semantic structure, there lexical anthroponomy, which cost less than the usual language vocabulary.
