0 Sand in turf management
Over the past decade, no other material has taken on such a prevalent role in the management of sports turf than sand. The material is now incorporated into a multitude of maintenance practices, with technology allowing greater volumes to be applied with reduced disruption in condensed time frames.

In this article, Derek Fullerton (Murrayfield Golf Club) aims to look at the differing characteristics of this precious material and the practical implications these may have in the management of your turf. It also seeks to discuss whether an over reliance on sand may hinder the industry's ability to fulfil its responsibilities in meeting future environmental challenges.
To begin, let's take a closer look at the material itself. Sand is formed by biochemical processes involving both physical disintegration and chemical decomposition over many millennia. Originating from molten magma igneous rocks and sedimentary rocks, which cover about 75% of the Earth's surface, the material you use will most likely have a long and varied history. Where glacial waters were able to flow freely, sediments accumulated in valleys and plains, whilst minerals were carried away. When exposed to calcium or iron in the water, quartz sand weathered from igneous rocks such as granite, cemented to form solid masses known as sandstone. As in the case of sand dunes, wind was a natural vehicle to transport material over vast distances. By whatever means the sand that you use arrived at its destination, there is a good chance it began its formation in a very different geographical location.
The destructive nature of weathering plays a key role in regulating the size, shape and uniformity of the material, with the origins of the parent material influencing its chemical composition. To be classified as sand it must fall within a size range between 0.063mm-2mm. Grains originating from glacial and transported material tend to be more rounded and uniform in shape, with those originating from residual sandstone deposits more angular and irregular (Fig. 1); all characteristics that are key to how your sand functions.

Sand for industrial use is mainly sourced through three forms of extraction, these being mines, quarries and river bed dredging. For it to be suitable for use in sports turf, 'hydro classification' washing removes impurities whilst also allowing the material to be separated into grades depending on size category. This process enables companies to provide products that meet specific particle size distribution (PSD) criteria.
Technology has provided turf managers with the means of incorporating increased volumes of sand into their maintenance programmes. Examples of this include Graden and Dry Ject sand injection practices (Figs. 2 and 3), these allowing for the removal of organic matter (OM) whilst incorporating sand into various depths of the profile. More efficient disc spreaders (Fig. 4) and brushes also allow for higher quantities to be applied through top dressing, whilst techniques such as sand banding are often used to address drainage issues. Whether its addressing problematic OM levels, water retention or surface performance characteristics, sand is often now the 'go to' material.
An example of the integration between sand and technology can be seen at the BT Murrayfield stadium in Edinburgh, the home of Scottish Rugby. Head groundsman Jim Dawson, and his team of five, are responsible for maintaining three turf training pitches and the main stadium Desso Sportsmaster hybrid pitch. The hybrid pitch construction specification is a relatively new technology involving the incorporation of synthetic fibres into the natural grass sward, the aim of this being to increase surface stability and sward durability for high impact sports such as rugby and football. The success of this was highlighted by the fact that over the last season BT Murrayfield's hybrid pitch was able to host to up to 75 games, almost a 50% increase on the previous pitch. This increased resilience also allows for the venue to be utilised for concerts and other sporting events, important financial revenue streams.
Left: Fig. 2: Kiln dried sand incorporated into sand injection process Right: Fig. 3: Graden sand injection practice
The yearly maintenance programme consists of the top 8-15mm of the pitch being removed with only the synthetic fibres remaining, these having a life span of roughly 8 years (Fig. 5). On average, 90 tonnes of Leavenseat LV25 sand are then applied whilst a specialist machine creates a seed bed for overseeding (Fig. 6). The annual removal of this top layer is crucial in the success of a pitch of this nature, in part due to the inert nature of sand. The sand provides the perfect environment for transmitting surface water and allowing initial strong root development, but at a cost. The pitch is thirsty and nutrient hungry, with slow decomposition of OM, this being quick to accumulate due to the top growth required for high performance pitches. If allowed to go unchecked over a period of time, pitch performance would soon be impaired.
One practice implemented by Jim to help negate the sterile nature of sand is in the use of compost teas. These liquid 'brews' are a source of highly valuable microbes that constitutes the microbial community that enables a growing medium to support life. Be this decomposition, nutrient recycling or pathogen suppression, soil microbes are at the heart of it all. Increasing the volume of sand in your growing medium will make it a more hostile environment for microbes to inhabit. This area is of particular relevance to Jim and the team due to previous experience of the pitch performance being detrimentally affected by root eating nematodes. The use of bio controls such as compost teas can help maintain equilibrium in the soil food web and act as a preventative measure against such issues.
Fig. 5: Synthetic fibres remain following sward removal
The hybrid pitch specification and subsequent maintenance requirements is a costly investment, but in the case of BT Murrayfield the investment is an astute one due to the enhanced pitch performance and additional income generated. The properties of sand play a crucial role in the success of this modern concept, but care must be taken to avoid the pitfalls of creating a sterile growing environment.
Sand also plays an integral role in the maintenance programme of Scott Corrigan, course manager of Cawder Golf Club in the west of Scotland. Utilising the material in practices such as sand injection, deep veemo slitting and post coring top dressing has allowed Scott to refine surface playing performance, aid the movement of water in the upper profile and re-establish surfaces following disruptive maintenance practices. Annual target rates range from 100-120 tonnes, with Leavenseat LV20 one of the products previously used.
Over time, Scott has come to recognise the additional pressures, both financial and agronomical, that high inputs of sand can have. Wear and tear on machinery and cutting units can put pressure on budgets, particularly when in-house grinding is not an option. High annual application targets can eat into labour demands when staffing numbers are limited. From an agronomy point, the potential adverse impact that high application rates can have on disease pressure is one that Scott gives careful consideration to. Reduced available leaf blade exposure to sunlight, surface pH fluctuations and uneven leaf blade incision from blunt cutting units will all contribute to putting the grass plant under increased stress, making it less able to fend off attacks from harmful pathogens.
Fig. 6: Overseeding following application of LV25 sand
Material cost and consistency is also an area Scott believes to be problematic. With the abundance of sand reducing globally, whilst demand and carriage costs increase, these issues will only continue to manifest themselves in an upward trajectory, one which is outwith your control. Scott also includes a biological element as part of his maintenance programme. As well as the addition of organic acids such as humic and fulvic acids, compost teas are applied monthly over a ten month period. This again being an example of biological inputs playing a pivotal role.
The use of the Leavenseat LV20 and LV25 by Scott and Jim provides a good opportunity to quickly highlight the relevance that PSD can have depending on the objective. Due to the fact that the top layer of the profile at BT Murrayfield is being replaced on an annual basis, Jim has less concerns regarding the migration of fine particles over time. As can be seen in Fig. 7, the LV25 has a more uniform PSD with 35.9% falling within the fine/very fine category compared to 17.3% of the LV20. Whilst the coarseness of the LV20 may bring with it some issues for Scott in respect of working the topdressing into the sward and wear on cutting units, it minimizes the potential of 'capping' issues in the profile. This situation occurs when fine particles 'interpack' and 'bridge' the pore spaces created by coarser particles, this hindering the free movement of water. If allowed to develop over a period of time due to incompatible rootzone/topdressing materials, this can have drastic consequences on turf performance, particularly in golf greens. The use of material PSD data sheets and 'D' value graphs should always be used to guard against this.
You may well have noticed a common thread forming in the article with regards sand and soil biology. The dependable attributes that make sand beneficial can also prove to be problematic in a growing medium, with its simplicity and inert nature being both an asset and a liability. An area I will attempt to expand on next.
Fig. 7: LV20 & LV25 sand PSD graphs
When evaluating any growing medium, it is important to recognise it as a living entity, a continually evolving dynamic of inputs and outputs, nutrients and energy, providing you with a foundation to manipulate for your individual requirements. The value of aggregate formation is now increasingly recognised in the agriculture sector for maintaining the long term health of a soil. The macro and micro pores that are created by soil aggregates are recognised as the biological reactors for the multitude of microbial processes that underpin the health of a soil (Fig. 8). Agriculture has learned the hard way, with an over reliance on synthetic fertilisers for crop nutrition resulting in infertile soils lacking in OM and structure, which are prone to erosion.
This shift in mindset has led to a term referred to as 'light farming', which recognises the benefits of harnessing the energy of solar radiation through photosynthesis. This approach enables atmospheric Carbon (C) to be incorporated into the biomass of plant material through the process of fixation. Increased emphasis on organic nutrient inputs (slurry, crop residues, legume cover crops, rotation cycles) has enhanced subsequent soil C levels through OM decomposition and liquid C root exudates. This availability of organic C is a source of energy to soil microbes and crucial to particle bonding, allowing aggregate formation.
Can the turf industry learn from agriculture?
Well, something similar is already possible through utilising biological programmes. This allows for the manipulation of soil microbes and the humification of OM (Fig. 9), with this expediting the conversion of organic nutrients (thatch) into plant available inorganic form. This source of organic nutrients is always available to you, creating the correct environment for it to be utilised is key. Excessive levels of sand in your soil profile may well inhibit the development of the biological community you are dependent on (Fig. 10).
Figs 8, 9 and 10
With the government recently committing the UK to achieving a net zero Carbon balance by 2050, all sectors will inevitably come under increased pressure to implement change. Rightly or wrongly, the turf industry and in particular golf has been seen as one of consumption, often leaving a large environmental footprint. Moving forward, does the continued reliance on a finite material such as sand help to address this image? And does it help to robustly position clubs and facilities to withstand future pressures, be these financial or legislatively, that are inevitably coming their way?
The conversation relating to how the turf sector is meeting its environmental responsibilities requires and deserves far greater scope than this article provides. However, it is fairly self-evident that the continued consumption of any material in large volumes, that often requires carriage over large distances, will not aid in reducing an organisation's Carbon footprint. Regulating inputs of external consumable materials to sustainable levels whilst maintaining playing performance levels must be the long term goal. At times, the balance may not be easy to achieve, but in doing so the industry can position itself and its stakeholders on a path that is more aligned to that of other forward thinking sectors.
So to summarize, sand does and will continue to play an important role in turf management. From enabling the utilisation of cutting edge technology to produce high quality pitches (Fig. 11) to refining surface playing performance attributes, the value of sand is undeniable. In recognising its weaknesses as well as its strengths, you will utilise the material to its maximum. Excessive use over time will only aid in creating a biologically sterile growing environment.

The incorporation of biological and organic inputs into your maintenance programme can help maintain equilibrium, one which allows you to harness the benefits of biological processes that have been the foundation of growing mediums throughout the evolution of the planet. At a time when the public's awareness in the value of our natural world is growing and consequences of its degradation more widely understood,
it is in the industry's own interest to adapt and take a holistic approach to environmental stewardship. By utilising sand at a sustainable level, not only will it assist you in meeting your objectives, you will also be making your contribution to safeguarding the environment. One which will hopefully preserve this precious resource for future generations.

Exotic, "Egyptian" MYSTIC PROPHET is my third font inspired by Ouija boards, or, strictly speaking, talking boards. (This one is from another company, Haskelite, from the 1940s.) My friend Wink first brought it to my attention. The planchette (the divining tool) is shown here; you can find much more information at the Museum of Talking Boards. My other talking board fonts are Captain Howdy and Sideshow. Includes caps, numbers, punctuation, and international characters. Planchette image courtesy of the Museum of Talking Boards.
KING XMAS is a versal, or Lombardic, alphabet inspired by a small sample in a 1930s Speedball book. The current version combines two fonts in one: solid in the uppercase positions, white-starred letters (like the words above) at the lowercase position. It pairs nicely with a bold blackletter font like Fette Fraktur. Now with Arabic numbers in v2.5.
HARLEQUIN was inspired by this poster from the 1953 film Kiss Me Kate (detail at left). It has a jolly jester's hat feel and also resembles turned wooden spindles. Includes caps, numbers, punctuation, and international characters. As seen in use in these "personalized totes for the eco-check girl," from Label Me Lisa.
The Dominican fonts are designed to look like old letterpress printing. Originally inspired by a font from Dan X. Solo's books, I expanded the series to also include Italic and Small Caps. Version 3.0 now contains lining figures with the old-style figures still available as stylistic alternatives. All 3 fonts have been expanded and refined, making these a fine alternative to the overused Caslon Antique.
BACKHAND BRUSH is my re-creation of a classic 19th-century style of hand lettering. Like some Victoriana and Art Nouveau fonts, it was revived in the psychedelic era. My font is completely redrawn from a guide to hand-lettering, not a font. I have regularized it somewhat (maintaining a constant 18-degree slant) but also tried to keep a slightly random brush feel. Includes upper and lowercase, numbers, punctuation, and international characters.
STELLA DALLAS was inspired by the hand-lettered titles of the film of the same name (1937, directed by King Vidor, art directed by Richard Day). The dramatic wedge shapes and some letterforms are reminiscent of calligraphic fonts like Koch Antigua. Working from the film, I've regularized and rounded out the font, including small caps weighted to harmonize with the large caps. The set includes 3 fonts: Regular, Outline and Fill. Each font includes large and small caps, numbers, punctuation, and international characters. .

Infighting among Nusra, ISIL, FSA kills several in Syria
Terrorists affiliated to the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have started new wave of fierce clashes with other militant groups such as al-Nusra Front and the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) in eastern Syria.
A car bomb exploded in the area of Shehel, a stronghold for al-Nusra group in Deir al-Zour, leaving dozens killed, including one of al-Nusra commanders.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights accused ISIL of carrying out the detonation, yet the group denied its responsibility and noted that the car bomb was planned to target its militants.
In Asharna in the eastern countryside of Deir al-Zour, ISIL also detonated a car bomb, targeting a main so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) garrison.
In Raqqa, the commanders of ISIL legislated murdering al-Nusra and FSA members. As a result, ISIL detonated a number of houses in the province, claiming that their owners cooperate with al-Nusra and FSA.
ISIL also killed an Islamic Front commander in the southern countryside of Hamah.
Syria has been gripped by deadly unrest since 2011. According to reports, Western powers and their regional allies – especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey – are supporting the militants operating inside the country.
British defense consultancy IHS Jane's estimates that some 10,000 militants are fighting for groups affiliated with al-Qaeda such as al-Nusra Front, and the rest fight for different militant groups.

Lee Min-Seok (Seo In-Guk) is a high school student who plays ice hockey for his school. One day, he suddenly begins works as a company director instead of his older brother. At work, he meets Jung Soo-Young (Lee Ha-Na) who is a temporary employee there.
"King of High School Life Conduct" takes over the tvN Mondays & Tuesdays 23:00 time slot previously occupied by "A Witch's Love" and followed by "My Secret Hotel" August 18, 2014.
lovely Apr 12 2019 7:28 pm It is was one of my favorite kdrama ever.love them both the two lead stars is quite amazing they had a great chemistry together.hope they will cast again to another kdrama together.Seo In Guk and Lee Ha -Na is really entertaining when they act.please do again another kdrama together????
Gabee Oct 12 2018 12:10 pm Waste of time. I really dislike this drama. I mean if your into an adult dating a high schooler, then this drama will suit you. Not my cup of tea though.
Yssa Feb 26 2018 11:11 pm Love this drama so much! One of my all-time fave romcoms. Hana and Inguk had GREAT chemistry, they were just so natural with each other. I've become a fan of the writer and PD, too. Will watch anything from this team?
Amberle Nov 05 2017 10:32 pm I thought this show was about high school, so didn't really want to watch it. But I was curious as it has Seo In Guk. Really glad I watched. It was a riot, can't remember when I laughed so much. It was such a light hearted funny drama. Don't overthink when you watch this, that's the trick. Just get sucked into the madness.
Lee Ha Na is such a revelation. I'm watching this after Voice, and gosh she's so different. Now knowing that Voice was shot later than this drama, I'm totally amazed by her acting. She's so beautiful and icy in Voice. She's such an awkward, strange dork here that borders on ridiculous. Yet, she's also such an endearing fool here, a perfect contrast to Seo In Guk's character. She and SIG are totally at ease with each other in this drama.
Yeah, some of the scenes were over the top and cringe worthy and some of it too ridiculous, but that's the attraction of this drama. It's total madness mostly, and yet, a lot of the scenes are heartwarming. It's about ties of relationships, of family, friends and colleagues.
Watch it, but put away your judgements at the door. It'll make for a fun viewing.
Amelia Jun 20 2017 5:05 am Oh boy ... Is it the requirement of Soo Young's character or is it Ha Na's acting? Very uncomfortable watching. Can't continue with this drama as it is too disturbing.
Mutya Cruz Jun 16 2017 2:23 am My first time to watch a kdrama which stars Guk.and boy he moved me which his acting...he may not be the most handsome Korean actor but he will give them a run for their money with his acting skills.
sara Feb 07 2017 12:05 am Lee Ha Na is 1 solid actress with a cute look.People who commended that the actress is not pretty,look again.If you wanna a Hot Kpop babe to be the lead,then not in this drama.Its Simplicity.She pulls any character off without much efforts,by just being herself..Check out VOICE with Jang hyuk.She is awesome!
Chiaki N Oct 06 2016 5:58 am This was a nice suprise. I think i has of the best noona romances I've ever seen.
Definitely a feel-good TV show to cheer yourself up with.
lin Aug 25 2016 10:59 am While Seo In Guk's performance was absolutely beyond words, I wasn't able to finish this drama, had to stop at around episode 9. I just couldn't stand the female lead anymore. Did not ship them at all. Her character was weak, no particular personality, and her behaviors were just wrong. Pity. It would've probably been a great drama without her and the actress.
ivan Jul 09 2016 5:21 pm is Lee Soo Hyuk second lead here?
Becky Smith Jun 21 2016 9:15 am I loved this drama, "High School King of Savvy"! I already loved Seo In-guck. I had seen him in, "Reply 1997" and wanted to see other shows with him in it. I found his acting to be very easy going and genuine! He didn't seen to be acting, he felt so real in his character. I loved his juvenile spirit and easily believed that he was in high school. He had a fresh, affable personality that brought his character to life. Lee Ha-na was quirky and was a lovable, nerdy, young woman coming into her own womanhood. She seemed to be taking the long way around to find herself, but she was very endearing. Loved her acting and their chemistry. This drama just made me smile remembering the excitement of the newness and awkwardness of a first love relationship. I found myself laughing out loud at those embarrassing first experiences that we all have gone through. I look forward to seeing both in up coming performances. Even though some would say that the storylines in these type of dramas are predictable, I never tire of watching the unfolding of a new relationship between two people, especially when there is love. Keep them coming. Don't miss this one girls!
hjie Apr 27 2016 8:04 pm I don't watch many Korean dramas but one day I was bored and picked this drama because of Lee Soo Hyuk without reading the synopsis. I expected a typical k-drama, something light-hearted and/or over the top... and that's exactly what I got.
Good points of this drama (by k-dramas' standards): funny moments and characters + the directing/editing aren't as bad as your average kdrama + the acting was not that awkward imo + the age gap I guess, if you're into this sort of things + they didn't make the romance drag or unnecessarily dramatic and complicated.
Bad points: I don't think the female lead character ruined the drama because she fit its crazy mood but she was indeed a bit random and boring (like all rom-com female leads) + I would have really appreciated if, for a change, they had given us another couple instead of a love triangle, there were enough lovely characters for this + the fact the lead was a highschool student didn't bother me because he doesn't look like a teenage boy at all (it felt more like he was a company director pretending to be a high school student) but ethically, it would have been better to have, idk, a freshman college student.
Noia Apr 16 2016 3:28 am Seo In Guk's acting here is superb. He pulled off both character - a highschool student and the older brother. Full of cute funny scenes. And Lee Soo-Hyuk's presence here is a big time bonus!
Jesuskid Mar 31 2016 5:03 pm Actually I was hoping that this drama would be lively and high school stuff but it was boring and the title doesn't even tally with the storyline,we don't know what happened to min suk hyung and it is very unrealistic for a woman who is ten years old ,a college graduate marrying a highschooler,it like a senior high marrying a junior grade student... very annoying and unrealistic...The female lead role ought to change too.
Grant Mar 12 2016 3:48 am Don't get the hate on female actress here. Her acting is good and she's beautiful . I think this drama thought us to love ourselves/be yourself. you can't change who you are to please everyone. Look at Lee Min Seok, he likes Jung Soo Young just the way she is. Look at the scene when she's trying to be pretty as assistant but he asked her to wear her glasses back. He loves the way she is n thinks she's unic. Awkward ppl exist in real life tho. So stop the hate. Love everyone. Nobody's perfect. xo PS: love this drama. Better watch it!
Winda Altra Mar 08 2016 11:51 pm @money I felt the same. Fell in love with Seo In Guk in this drama. He was that great to me. I mean I was really in love with him and searching everything about him and listening to "Finding Myself" everyday and never get bored. That was how this drama impacted me back then. A unique plot, handsome cute men, a weird woman, strong chemistry between the leading roles, sweet kissing scenes and a happy ending. How could I want more?
Maureen Feb 08 2016 4:28 am I loved the drama n was expecting a unique change for the female lead role buh was disappointed.
Klaudia Jan 30 2016 7:31 am This was really good comedy drama. I had a lot of laugh. One minus is woman lead. She was too weird. It's not about their ages...because it not a problem to me but this girl should be sweet and little crazy not weird.
Nadiaknowsbest Jan 25 2016 11:09 am I really wanted to watch this drama because of Seo in guk. But then I found out that the female lead was a girl who was like ten years older than him and he was a high school student. It made everything awkward. I find the female lead annoying, in my opinion and if she was less annoying and not so old in the drama, I would have loved it.
Louieboy4u Jan 12 2016 10:04 am This drama is weird AF. I mean how can you let your daughter marry a high school student who is 10 years younger than her. Even though they really love each other, it's still socially unacceptable (at least in my country). And beside, they're not rich to begin with. How can they survive a marriage life. So unrealistic.
Amy tran Dec 28 2015 6:23 pm I love Seo in guk and lee soo hyuk so much omg! Tbh I love both male leads but I feel so sad for lee soo hyuk! The female lead actress is literally the part I hate about this drama. I mean y can't they choose another actress. Becuz of her the drama is ruin. But overall the drama is a MUST WATCH!!! Fighting oppa~ seo in Guk and lee so hyuk!
Nive Dec 13 2015 4:40 am Gramps is sooooo cute !!!!
leandra Oct 31 2015 5:34 pm To be honest, this drama was...crap. And I'm being nice. There's a few errors in this drama that I noticed. Like how soo young mentioned that the director was a year older than her. And then suddenly, they were both the same age. And hyung seuk is supposedly nine years older than min seuk, right? So that makes soo young eight years older than min seuk nd not ten. Little errors like this is ridiculous. I'm very pissed off at it. Little things count too.
And also, I know it's fiction and all but it really was stupid and unrealistic.
xynaux Oct 11 2015 10:32 pm Seo In-Guk and Lee Soo-Hyuk are the reason's why i keep watching this until episode 7. but.... i coundn't take it anymore.. the female lead is ruining everything here.. from her looks to her very baaaaaaad acting. her annoying face is just unbearable. i mean she is beautiful on her own way but when she act she gets ugly, very very ugly (im so sorry to say that). the story and casts are great except her. i think i'll be dropping it and move on to another drama.
koz Sep 29 2015 5:45 pm @first lady did you watch him in I remember you/hello monster yet?
enelra Sep 26 2015 7:03 am Nice acting Seo In-Guk!!!very natural and youre such a cutie while you act...highly recommended drama!!
First Lady Sep 21 2015 3:31 pm I just started watching this drama and I'm loving it already. I met In-Guk oppa in Master's Sun and I thought he was cool. But believe me, he's way cooler in this drama. It's a must-watch!
absentmindedG Sep 03 2015 5:40 am Omo..I cant believe that lee soo hyuk (director yoo) is 1 year younger than seo in guk (director lee)..Lee Soo Hyuk sure looks older though. Btw, i think that Lee Yeol-Eum looks a bit like Yoon Soo Hee..
Minsukkie Jul 17 2015 7:22 am This is the drama that made me fall in love with seo in guk. He is such an amazing actor! Very effective & believable. Too bad i couldnt say the same with the leading actress. Her actingbwas really awkward & weird.she only has one expression on her face when she's sad or happy or pissed. They should have casted a more experienced actress to match seo in guk's superb acting. But overall its a good drama. I was laughing the whole time.
nymos Jul 16 2015 7:36 pm I love this drama So much!!!! Seo In Guk is So adorable. It's a modern movie and kind of different from other Korean movies I've seen(they were always sorta immature to me). Admittedly though, the ending is a bit unrealistic. Getting married... really? they should have found a better ending. Seo In Guk is a really good actor being able to act as min suk and hyung suk.
Paulene Apr 09 2015 8:27 pm After Reply 1997, Master's Sun and the King's face, I decided to watch this drama as I was more curious about Seo In Guk, he displayed the right emotions and actions of a Highschool. His bff on this drama are daebak! All of them are good. Well, the love story is good, but I found myself not to pay more attention with their affections (kissing/ teasing scene) with each other. I get more excited when Direct Yoo and Soo Young meet or bump each other. It's not that it would be better it they paired together but I wanted to see more of Lee Soo-Hyuk.
I am a fan of Seo In Guk.
I can't believe Kang Ki-Young, is actually older than the main actor. Daebak!
Joolie Apr 06 2015 6:52 am This drama was interesting at first, but then it got so weird. Where I come from, an adult dating a high schooler is illegal, not to mention incredibly sleazy. They cast the wrong woman as the lead. I mean, if they should have at least cast someone pretty. Ugh. I don't usually care about looks, but Lee Ha Na is incredibly bad looking. She constantly had this retarded look on her face, and would just stare at nothing, with her mouth open like a moron. Plus, her lips. Omg. They look like a duck, and I hate women with duck faces. She was not pretty, I found to her to be, for lack of a better word, ugly. Why she was cast alongside someone of Seo In Guk's caliber, I do not understand. It must have been horribly awkward for him to be kissing someone like her in the drama. I bet he washed his mouth out with mouthwash after every kissing scene.
money Dec 21 2014 7:29 pm i second u @nabilah..haha..actually, this drama made me a fan of seo in guk. i never realized he was in master sun. i watched master sun b4 but sadly i totally ignored him there. bcoz of this drama, i began to search everything about him..lol..wow, such a versatile actor! this drama really show his acting ability. thumps up for him! can't question how good this drama..we can learn many things through this drama..i.e. relationship btween friends, family, co-workers, attitude towards elders, n many more..i really enjoying this drama. what more can i say?
BoredAF Dec 21 2014 3:56 am I liked it for a while...but somewhere in the middle of the drama, I started to have little interest towards the drama. However, I did finish the drama and the ending was cute.
nabilah Dec 18 2014 6:19 pm u know what.... im really happy how i dont see people hating on seo in guk's drama. (im saying this coz he is my first n only bias in k entertainment and because how i see people hating on the heirs eventho the ratings are so high makes me happy on the inside. haha. pretty faces doesnt mean good acting) ending is kinda questionable at some point but some parts are just too sweet to ignore. the way minseok care so much about soo young.... dem dem dem! adorable couple are the best!!!!!!
shrill Dec 04 2014 6:14 am Very disappointed in the ending. To be honest, if Jung Soo Young had realized that her love for Min Suk was just an sisterly maternal love, and that Min Suk had found out that his feelings for Soo Young turned into merely love for an elder sister in the very end, the drama would have been more beautiful and realistic...sad, yes, and at least it's meaningful. I know it's just a romantic comedy and it should not be taken seriously; nor is it supposed to be realistic, but nothing about the ending left that huge impact on me; perhaps only shippers of the couple would really love the ending. Also, I want to see Min Suk leaving for college, and Soo Young and Director Yoo becoming close again, but without stating their relationship. Giving Director Yoo a random girl in the end just shatters the whole image, and the episodes focusing on the marriage of Soo Young and Min Suk also ruins the beauty of their relationship. I don't mind them having intense romance in the beginning, but it should've ended in a more...subtle way. Actually, the last episode should've ended in Min Suk's brother's revenge.
Other than the disappointing ending, this is drama is one of the best dramas I have seen so far. It is witty, fun, and actually not cliche at all. It is so fresh, full of good actors/actresses, and the character development is excellent. It is predictable but unpredictable at the same time; once you get through the slightly lacking first episode, the other episodes would get you hooked on.
yuanyuen Oct 20 2014 12:25 am shouldn't he leave for germany, return as a success man and propose her??
yuanyuen Oct 20 2014 12:21 am woww... great. but i think he should go to Germany and return as a success man and propose her.
x Oct 12 2014 11:23 am Lee Hana is so adorable in this drama! I watched it for her but I don't like the male lead.
Hafsii Sep 17 2014 9:37 pm @Melissa (haven't a clue how to reply but) I was wondering the exact same thing they're using LG G3 phones :) Other then the adorable granddad I'm not feeling any of the characters at all but unfortunately I don't like leaving things unfinished so heres to hoping it gets better! Soo cringey most of the time and eesh the evil director has the deepest voice...scary at times.
Capricorn Angel Sep 12 2014 10:25 pm So natural, so honest, so pure. While other dramas are trying to make the dialogs and scenes as sophisticated as possible in order to make us feel amazed, this drama offers you to just get into this drama without thinking about why and for what this and that happened, and such things, but with the feeling of you're playing a game; full of imagination but still feels real.
I also like that friendship of Min Suk, Tae Suk, and Deok Hwan. Omo they are so natural from head to toe! It's dragging me back to my high school times, my boy friends were like them too. And now I even know what they talked about when there's no girl around. They are sooo in bromance,always together in both happiness and sorrow. Mocking without someone getting angry. I'm really happy with those three!
Team Leader Kim is also hillarious! Especially in moments when he and that one who always miscall Soo young by Joo young get a terrible problem. He panics out and that's so funny! Even Tae Suk and Deok Hwan impersonate him too hahaha.
Thank You Very Kamsa for all casts and crews for presenting this awesome drama! I'm waiting for more dramas with this kind of scent.
dadz Sep 11 2014 7:53 am . . . . THIs is super good . . .. . . . I'm not a fun of seo in guk but after watching this drama I'll reconsider the thought of not having him on my list . . . . this is the first time that i have seen a drama especially korean that made me satisfied when we talk about the ending . .. . . .. . BEST ENDING EVER . . . . . ..
lhynn Sep 02 2014 9:42 am Comedy but seo in juk and lee ha na I dont like their acting.
catherine Aug 23 2014 12:35 am I haven't even watched this, yet I laughed so hard when I watched the trailer. Must be an amazing drama. Will watch it soooooonnnn!!!
Jasmine Aug 20 2014 12:39 am Very entertaining... Like this yo!
Melissa Aug 19 2014 4:53 am Hello!! I was wondering what phone (brand) do they use and what unit? Especially the one that has the blue case that sep in gum is using?
Excalibunny Aug 18 2014 1:20 am The special is narrated by none other than Lee Hana! Her voice is so sweet and distinct! Can't wait for the sub..
siri Aug 17 2014 11:17 am I must say I began this drama with grave misgivings, especially with regard to the (often disturbingly) quirky and strange personality of Jung Soo Young... but as I watched it I was drawn in more and more by the pure heart and hilarity each episode brought to play.. and I began to appreciate the unconventional setting and characters for who they were rather than expecting them to fit an idea in my head. I really like that they didn't try to give the lead girl a 'makeover' and personality change, but rather made us gradually love her for the quirky person she is. Moreover they didn't shy away from an unconventional ending, didn't deal with diabolic second leads and refused the use of easy cliched tropes such as time jumps or time out abroad to smooth out the issue of an age gap. Most importantly the drama did what it set out to do with great success, tell a heartwarming and fun filled story about loyalty, love and camaraderie, and it made us laugh the whole way through to boot. The cast were all brilliant and enormous fun to watch, but none so much as Seo In Guk who carried the drama on his shoulder making us care so very much for his story and point of view. An outstanding and captivating performance, kudos to him and the whole team.
Madeleine Aug 14 2014 3:31 pm I thought there was supposed to be a special.
Brigitte Aug 13 2014 1:01 pm What's the new drama??
Neete Aug 12 2014 9:25 am Hallelujah, it has ended and finally a new drama next week. Can't wait.
aline Aug 12 2014 1:00 am Great drama! The story is fresh and enjoyable to watch, nice ending too..
Excalibunny Aug 11 2014 1:12 am Lee Hana's portrayal of Soo Young is absolutely brilliant. Her lovely voice and awkward mannerism is just too adorable. How can anyone not like her? Such roles are really made for her. I still remember her first role in Alone In Love, with the same alien-like personality. I can't think of anyone else who can perfect such a role. I hope to see more of her in dramas. I missed her so much during her 5 years break!
Snailz Aug 07 2014 9:09 pm Does anyone know what the music is called at the end of episode 16 or episode 17 trailer?
maria Aug 06 2014 8:44 am what's the name of the actor who plays the captain of the ice hockey team??
Lovelyose Aug 06 2014 2:48 am What's the title of the song played in ep 14 when manager Yoo walking in the rain?
holly Aug 05 2014 10:47 pm I can't wait for the last episode i mean if youve seen the preview soo young says " let's get married" LOL! Then looking at Min Suk's face after was priceless!!!!
Mei Aug 05 2014 6:44 pm I feel dissapointed with the 16 episode. At epi 15 i thought that ah finally the story become more interesting but what a waste. How can comfo vs pavo end up just like that. I mean they should put this story more seriously rather than prolong min suk soo young love story. Can't believe lee hyung suk just end up like nothing happen at all after all of his effort. 실망있다 진짜.
catblanche Aug 05 2014 11:09 am really awsome ep 15 ; how could the actor be two deferent character with two deferent age ; you can really believe that one is high schooler and the other one an adult ...seo in guk i really admire you ...your acting is really awsome.
P.S: I like all aspect in this drama except the Soo Young girl (I hate the character not the actress). Even Betty (of Ugly Betty) is better than her. I hate her hair, her glasses, her cartoonish attitude, etc. So gross. Please don't put this type of character as female lead in the future. Thank you!!!
P.P.S: I hope I don't sound so harsh. I have nothing against Lee Ha-Na. Mianhamnida.
chairyn Aug 03 2014 5:41 am I really love this drama...its entertaining and inspiring...good job to those people behind this artistry. Its one of my greatest well-loved korean drama. Lee Min-Seok is indeed idealistic! I cant wait to see episode 15 to 17.
Feline Aug 01 2014 4:26 pm SO in love with this drama <3 it's funny and touches your heart at the same time, there are no boring parts, and it's easy to watch, love watching In suk and Soo Hyuk, they're amazing <3 so good-looking and talented!!!
Carmenita Aug 01 2014 8:29 am So disappointed with the combination. No sparks, no chemistry, nothing at all between Lee Min-Seok & Jung Soo-Young.
sora Jul 31 2014 7:12 am The story actually really interesting, but the way jinwoo and minsuk "fight over a girl" scenario really look like a childish game, i mean, they can fight with a manly way (work competition or athletic competition). I understand if minsuk a little bit childish but jinwoo and soo young should be more mature than him. it feel likes high school romance with a mature setting. But i really appreciate all the actress and actor acting, really good and natural. i think i know how this going to be end, unexpected a new obstacle come after epi 14, but its a good start since the love story between minsuk-sooyoung-jinwoo is getting over climax.
Imoan Jul 29 2014 1:30 pm Oops! I blundered on HIGH SCHOOL KING episodes. I should have said ep 13 should pick up where ep 12 ended rather than skipping a continuation of 12 and starting a new scene in 13. Didn't mean to cause any confusion without correction.
Imoan Jul 29 2014 10:35 am What happened?! Shouldn't episode 12 have picked up where episode11 left off?! ep 12 melted down to only two actors upholding the whole scenario. I could sense distance between the two main male actors to the point that Lee Soo-Yuk gave the famous middle finger flip to Seo In-Guk in the elevator scene. Episode 12 was a total disaster. And why-oh-whyyy Lee Ha-Na was not allowed to grow-up by ep 6? A 28 year old acting worse than a 15 year old?Please, Please, Pleeeese! Stop using flesh and blood actors and actresses to imitate or mimic comic book characters. Using a manga or comic book story line is Ok but, to try transforming a real person into becoming the very image of a comic book or animated character is totally ridiculous, aggravating and not funny - In No Kind of Way! I love all the actors chosen to be in "King of High School" but the director was asking too much of them. I am sure Lee Ha-Na was very worn out by the time ep12 was completed. I kept hoping her character would have finally grown into maturity by then so that she and Jin Woo can love each other.
yumi Jul 27 2014 1:48 pm Does anyone know the name of the ending song of ep 9 and 11?
anthy Jul 25 2014 11:46 am Ommo!! Love this drama,,episode 13 has been released..?
Ashila Jul 25 2014 5:57 am I really hope that Soo-Young won't end up with Min-Seok. It's just so sad to see that Yoo-A hurts. How can a sister be so cruel for just a love which happens for a short time?
Melanie Jul 24 2014 10:32 am ommo!now Iam so addicted to this! cant wait for episode 13 now that popcorn sister already made up her mind!f ighting!
Melanie Jul 24 2014 10:26 am OMMOOOO! it started as 'good as nothing" but now I'm hooked to this drama! and i take back what I said! It is never 'good as nothing'! It's the best thing I've ever seen! waiting impatiently(just kidding^^) for episode 13! I wonder what will happen next now that popcorn sister have already made up her mind!...FIGHTING!!!
Brigitte Jul 22 2014 6:32 pm Omg!! This dramas is so good and not boring at all!! I can't wait for episode 12!! I totally want Ming seok and the popcorn sister together they are cute the sister Yoo-Ah is so annoying though she wasn't even dating Ming seok! I hope the drama ends well and everyone happy but I really want them together Heavy black heartHeavy black heart Anyways does anyone know how many episodes they'll be??
wildfly Jul 22 2014 2:20 pm extension confirmed.
Seyoung Jul 20 2014 3:06 am Someone please take popcorn sister and dress her up. So, she can be prettier.. Can't wait for episode 11.. huaa!
Deb Jul 19 2014 4:21 pm Looove this drama. There are some really great romcoms out right now (Marraige not Dating and Fated to Love You) but this has my heart.
Shakira REALLY good point about the lack of the makeover scene. Min Sook really likes Popcorn sister JUST AS SHE IS! It was so funny how his friend was trying to be nice and described her as being like an "alien" and not like other girls. Then right after Min Sook exclaims that yes, it's a reason she likes her so much! I loved that! a Apart from Jin-Woo's dad I love all the secondary and side characters. I'm fully invested in the High School King universe.
Shakira Jul 18 2014 6:04 pm OH MY!!! I CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE 11!!! I like that popcorn sister is not a conventional beauty and I'm glad at this point they haven't done the typical makeover scene. Like "whoa I didn't know you were cute til you changed your clothes and hair, now I like you". Even though I love those dramas too. This is refreshing. Her character is really sweet and caring and that's what makes her attractive.
anooony Jul 18 2014 1:34 am has anyone notice.. lee hyun - seuk at episode 10 lee min seuk's older brother during the time they fight at the event with ji won??
Madeleine Jul 16 2014 4:23 pm Episode 9 is the most romantic episode I have seen in a k drama. It was perfection - love, adorable romance. Ms Milk Toast still weirds me out a little with her deluxe dorkynessi but I have to admit seeing her sleep with her glasses on was funny.
dramADDICT Jul 16 2014 3:10 pm Such a wonderful and funny drama that more people need to see! I like the non-stop pace and all the developing second stories. Seo In Guk is sheer perfection in the dual roles as the high schooler pretending to be his executive brother. I thought this would not be believable. I am glad I was wrong. The chiseled body of perfection, Lee Soo Hyuk, has shed his pretty boy model only image to play the role of the troubled son of the chairman. I feel the pain he portrays trying to win the approval of his father and protect his institutionalized mother. Spoiler: The bomb drops in episode 10!!! It will be hard waiting for episode 11.
annidaunnatiqulya Jul 15 2014 9:23 pm you have to watch ep 10, great!
Aisha Jul 15 2014 9:26 am This is an amazing drama. I am in love. It has an intense love triangle even though director yoo doesn't know he loves her yet *wink wink* but episode 10 looks amazing. I wish the subs come out faster because I can't wait much longer. I definitely recommend this drama to anyone. It's seriously awesome!!
Madeleine Jul 14 2014 9:56 pm Episode 8 is one of the most romantic episodes I have ever seen in a kdrama. I find her character overly meek and mousy so that sort of distracts me but other than that I have enjoyed this drama a lot. I do not understand the 2nd lead's treatment of her, although I can understand his personal pain, just do not understand how he could use her that way, so I am looking forward to more and also want to know what happened to his brother and hope he is okay. I also really like his adopted father very much and seems he knows the President, maybe 2nd lead's mother was his wife who ran off with the President?
aonaaa Jul 14 2014 4:50 pm This might be one of the best drama's I've ever watched. I just finished episode eight, and I still have high hopes for the coming episodes. Seo In-Guk is not only eye candy to look at, his acting skills left me in awe as well.
Moreover, I really like how the drama is aiming for a refreshing approach, in that it doesn't follow your typical everyday mellow romcom formula. I do believe it has a rather realistic storytelling. The shaky camera and the alternative soundtrack both contribute to this new feeling.
Some might feel that it has a slow pacing, which I agree to. However, I think this is genuinely necessary to help build up character's backstory and in order for us to relate to them. It's also very relaxing, because you have the feeling that anything can happen, at least for me. I didn't end up frustrated because of how I wanted things, rather, I could sit back and relax to see how the story would unfold. And besides, I only felt that the first few episodes were "slowly paced", you really get to enjoy it thoroughly afterwards, you have my digital word!
The characters in general are all interesting, and have a more in depth element to them rather than being flat as opposed to many other kdrama's. The comedy is well balanced, it's not straight up slapstick, but it does make you chuckle from time to time..
I feel like this drama could be described as mature and alternative, if you will. Hence my curiosity as as to how this drama will unfold!
In conclusion, it's not boring/slow, it's different, which is why I believe it's so original and definitely deserves more recognition.
P.S If all that didn't convince you, watch it for Seo In Guk, do it for the Guk!
sora Jul 14 2014 8:21 am to Quynh: It is sang by Honey G - 셀렘. Honey G came from Super Star K4. they're vocal color remain me of 4men.
Yana Jul 13 2014 9:37 pm This drama was very boring at episode 1. I dropped this drama halfway of episode 2. I don't know why, but I guess it didn't really have that tug to keep on watching. And the lighting of this drama is too gloomy and moody to be a rom-com. So I've been reading some small recaps and seeing photos of it. And I decided to start the drama again at episode 8. It became more watchable. I guess, if you pay attention to the drama closely you might like the drama. And it's SLOW PACE. I don't like any characters, but oh well, maybe they'll get more interesting later on.
Madeleine Jul 13 2014 8:40 pm I am enjoying this drama a lot. I love the sports scenes and office situations so far. Obsessed stalker bully girl pretty scary; I just watched 3 episodes and feels like she could burn a house down. Lee Ha Na's character as her sister is bizarre since she is her convoluted opposite, yet both of them are pretty obsessive they share that much. Hate her head hanging, dopey frumpy girl outfits and her sulking schloompy walk. I guess she is following the director's and writers on that score. Most of the females in this show are quite bizarre and sort of extra estrogen challenged.
Davia Jul 13 2014 3:51 pm I don't like to criticize people publicly but acting a person who has low self esteem entails a lot more than holding ones head down and making weird facial expressions. Thankfully the character's esteem is improving and we are not being subjected to this anymore. Subtlety in acting is really important. Otherwise the acting in this drama is excellent by everyone including the supporting cast.
carlito Jul 12 2014 8:54 pm i really like this series, the cast are too fit for their respective roles. This drama has become one of my favorite korean dramas. i am on episode 8 and looking forward for the future episodes. God bless the characters and behind the scene people.
le Jul 11 2014 3:04 pm i saw the 1st episode and just loved this drama. lee ha na and seo in guk are really good actors, they are pretty hilarious too. comedy suits them well. tvn really has so many good dramas. i wished the major networks did a better job of choosing dramas, writers and cast. i think kbs is the worst, then mbc, but sbs has good dramas usually. funny i noticed King Of High School and Trot Lovers lead couples switched partners from Reply 1997 and Meri Daegu Attack Defense Battle, and are rivals in same time slot. i've been a fan of lee ha na since alone in love, when spring comes, meri daegu, and women in the sun, hope she acts in more dramas.
druegnor Jul 10 2014 9:55 am Lee Ha Na Noona..
Love to see you acting again. Kinda sad there is not many drama you are in..and it seem you are trying very hard in pulling that character..Noona fighting!!!
Having surpasses 1% rating is a success for this cable-TV drama and Seo In Guk acting is improving from previous drama ive see him in (Love Rain, Reply 1997). This drama can be another hit for tVN after Reply series and Emergency Couple.
briseis Jul 08 2014 4:15 am The ratings are actually pretty good considering it's a cable TV drama. Pay-TV channels have less viewers than free-TV channels like SBS , MBC or KBS2. The general consensus is that if the show gets past 1% it's a success. With HSK being near the 2% mark means the drama is going strong in the ratings.
SanGK Jul 06 2014 11:13 am Min-Seok and Soo-Young shouldnt' be a couple. I think MS just need to care of Soo-Young and in love with Yoo-A. That's a touch when Yoo-a knows her "boyfriend" likes her sis.
Melissa Jul 06 2014 1:07 am I am really loving this show, and the actors that portray the characters! I don't understand why the ratings are so low, because this show is really good. I especially like Lee Ha Na's role as Soo Young, and the way she is brings a different light to the show. She gives the show it's comedy, life, and inspiration to others. Her personality according to others may be different, but that is what I like about her character. I don't think the writer should change anything about her, because that is what makes the show interesting to watch. I am really loving Lee Min Suk's character, because he does not act like the rest of his peers or coworkers. He is a very kind, gentle, and caring guy. When he is at school he does not act or think like an actual high school student, and when he is at work he begins to realize and go against the cruelty of the work world. I think he and Soo Young are the perfect match because they are in many ways similar, as well as his feelings for her are sincere.
Quynh Jul 05 2014 9:14 pm Can someone please tell me what is the name of the song at the end at the drama. The song that was playing when they were hugging and the recap part.
sora Jun 28 2014 4:37 am Very interesting n funny drama esp lee hana character, i feel so sorry for her but yet jelous if only i have 2 handsome boss >___< the lead female n male chemistery is so natural, simply lovely.
arkar Jun 25 2014 10:33 am love this drama and love all the charter so far .
Ave Jun 25 2014 3:02 am can you please fix your camera it's really hard to watch it is always moving.
neko Jun 21 2014 4:42 pm This drama make me feel embarrassed for the characters and it's funny.
Vii Jun 20 2014 3:38 am OMG SEO IN GUK<3 can't wait. oppa, hwaiting~!
Marinah Jun 19 2014 5:25 pm Even though I can only read the subtitles because I only understand English, the show is amazing. The story line is just great!
regine Jun 18 2014 6:20 am What's the title of the song in episode 2 while they were in the bus, tired from work?
sora Jun 17 2014 8:44 pm FIrst episode is very interesting, i love both lead female and male character, unfamiliar face but their act is superb, esp lee ha na, clumsy yet adorable character. double role for seo in guk, i really got to see this. can't wait to see next episode.

Integrated foreign language lessons in higher educational institutions

Сейтова, Г. Ж. Integrated foreign language lessons in higher educational institutions / Г. Ж. Сейтова, З. С. Ибраимова. — Текст : непосредственный // Молодой ученый. — 2020. — № 43 (333). — С. 123-124. — URL: https://moluch.ru/archive/333/74430/ (дата обращения: 01.02.2023).
This article focuses on the main features of teaching a foreign language to students of the specialty «preschool pedagogy» using an integrated approach, its distinctive characteristics and the importance of its application in teaching a foreign language to students of higher educational institutions.
Key words: integrated approach, students, foreign language, culture, higher education, interdisciplinary connections, integration, differentiation.
Learning a foreign language is a transfer of culture that was accumulated earlier to the younger generation. At different times, teaching a foreign language had different content and relied on different philosophical approaches. However, the first place has always been the development of the personality, the formation of important qualities necessary for life in specific conditions. These conditions could change depending on the periods of the life of a given person. The culture of foreign-speaking countries is a part of world culture, in this way, when teaching a foreign language, students become familiar with the world culture and make a significant contribution to the education of future specialists and their development as a comprehensively developed and harmonious personality. The importance of knowing a foreign language as a means of communication and integration into the world community increases, thereby assuming a distinctively new approach to teaching a foreign language (FL), as well as a rethinking of the essence and content of learning objectives, since the purposefulness of the educational process is of paramount importance. importance in the formation of the content of education. This is due to the fact that the pedagogical interpretation of general goals leads to the allocation of specific goals, which, merging with the content, form its «upper levels» [1, p. 144].
The most important priority of educational reforms can be considered a qualitative increase in the level of foreign language proficiency of university graduates. The knowledge of a foreign language acquired by students at the functional level contributes to solving a large number of tasks in the modernization of society, which seeks to take a significant place in the world community. Integration is a process and result of the formation of an inextricably linked whole. In the study of a foreign language, it can manifest itself through the combination of academic subjects in a synthesized course, the summation of the foundations of the sciences, the disclosure of complex educational topics and problems. Modern education is faced with the primary task of forming an idea of a holistic picture of the world, including its unity and diversity, the idea of integration is laid in the foundation of this understanding. This idea appeared on the basis of the universality and unity of the laws of nature and culture, since they themselves provide for the unification, subordination, interconnection of individual components of an integral system. Modern society requires from the individual independent critical thinking, the ability to see, and creatively solve the problems that have arisen. In this regard, the transition from the executive, reproductive activity of students to the creative, search one at each stage of the educational process is so necessary. Integrated lessons suggest the possibility of involving students in an active cognitive process, which consists in active cognitive independent activity, since everyone has the opportunity to express themselves in the area that is closer to him and use the knowledge gained as a result of practice. Lessons of this type make it possible to clearly understand the area of application of their knowledge. Integrated lessons enable teachers to work together, which contributes to close cooperation with each other and also with students in solving various educational problems, making it possible to create conditions for the implementation of specific communication skills, which are basic in the modern world.
Integration should be classified as a didactic principle that allows academic subjects to function as an autonomous educational system, and also contributes to meeting the requirements of modern society, the introduction of integration into the study of a foreign language allows solving the problems that modern education puts forward for higher educational institutions and society as a whole. The development of the pedagogical idea of the integration of the educational process influenced the progress of scientific knowledge, since integration is closely intertwined with differentiation. Interdisciplinary connections are an effective teaching tool and are used as an addition, confirmation, replenishment of knowledge in related subjects, which contributes to didactic tasks. Interdisciplinary connections are not a permanent, integral system, are used at the request of the teacher to study individual topics of the educational material, and also serve as an excellent confirmation, which enhances their importance in the integration process. Integration is a system that presupposes the unification, connection, convergence of the educational material of separate related subjects into a single whole, this unification is also possible subject to the logical proximity of the topics being studied. The base of the integrated learning system is based on the intensive use of interdisciplinary connections, this can be seen both in terms of the final goals and the content, methods and techniques of work. It should be noted that the process of teaching a foreign language using an integrated approach reveals the similarity of ideas and principles that can be traced in teaching various disciplines, since it becomes possible to apply the acquired knowledge simultaneously in different areas. Most students are concrete thinkers and learning should be based on identifiable objects rather than abstract ideas.
It is worth highlighting the following types of integrated lessons: Coordinated, knowledge of one subject is based on knowledge of another subject. For example, a history lesson and English. At such lessons, there is a fragmentary appeal to the general problems in various fields of knowledge. The combined one is built on the basis of one organizing object, several objects merge into one, which makes it possible to study the same problem from different positions. For example, a lesson in geography and English. They should shape through learning from life experiences or common social problems. Integrated single lessons can be built on a thematic or problem basis, highlighting the discipline as the core or intertwining the teaching material at each stage of the lesson. Integrated lessons refer to non-standard forms of teaching and require the preparation and creative initiative of a group of teachers from different subjects. A foreign language is a special subject, therefore an integrated foreign language lesson with history, mathematics, art, music helps to increase motivation in teaching foreign languages. The integrative approach allows teaching mixed in the real world communicative functions within the framework of the speech act, indicating how speech is used in everyday situations, giving a multidimensional understanding of reality and the role of language as an element of culture. In such lessons, mastering a foreign language is not only a goal, but also a means in understanding the relationship with other spheres of knowledge and life, thereby increasing the motivation for learning a foreign language.

Julien BriseBois made one thing clear from the start of his first news conference as general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.
Although the news that Steve Yzerman stepped down as Lightning GM came as a shock to many, BriseBois doesn't expect much to change under his leadership.
"Once we are done with this announcement, it will be business as usual for the Tampa Bay Lightning," BriseBois said.
That business, beginning with opening of training camp Thursday, remains the pursuit of the Stanley Cup.
The Lightning came close in their eight seasons under Yzerman, losing in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2015 Stanley Cup Final and to the Washington Capitals in seven games in the Eastern Conference Final last season, but weren't able to get over the hump. Tampa Bay is one of the favorites to contend for the Cup again this season, and BriseBois, who has been preparing for this opportunity for 17 years, doesn't view Yzerman's departure as an impediment.
"The name of the game is winning," he said. "You have to win. If anything, at least we're built to win right now."
BriseBois, 41, has long been viewed as a future GM. Yzerman, who was named senior adviser to the GM so he can spend more time with his family in Detroit, was aware of that when he hired him as his assistant in 2010.
Unlike Yzerman, who won the Cup three times as captain of the Detroit Red Wings and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009, BriseBois isn't a former player. Yzerman said he doesn't think that matters.
"Playing background doesn't ensure anything," he said. "You have the instincts, you learn, you work hard, and you pick it up. Ultimately, he has good instincts."
While BriseBois was studying at the University of Montreal Faculty of Law, he never dreamed he'd be an NHL GM.
"My plan when I was in law school was to be a tax lawyer," he said.
As an attorney at Heenan Blaikie in Montreal, BriseBois got his start in professional sports by representing NHL and Major League Baseball teams in salary arbitration cases and advising in contract negotiations. He joined the Montreal Canadiens as their director of legal affairs in 2001.
BriseBois was promoted to director of hockey operations in 2003, when he was 26 years old, and in 2006 became Montreal's vice president of hockey operations and GM of its American Hockey League team in Hamilton, which won Calder Cup in 2006-07. He joined the Lightning in 2010 as Yzerman's assistant and GM of Tampa Bay's AHL team, which was in Norfolk at the time and moved to Syracuse in 2012.
One of BriseBois' first moves with the Lightning was to hire Jon Cooper as Norfolk's coach. Cooper, who won the United States Hockey League championship with Green Bay in 2009-10, coached Norfolk to the Calder Cup in 2011-12 before being promoted to coach Tampa Bay on March 25, 2013.
"Julien gave me my first crack at pro [hockey]," Cooper said. "He was the guy that found me in Green Bay somehow and we went through the interview process and he believed in me enough to hire me. That's a pretty big leap of faith for somebody that didn't have any pro experience."
After Cooper was hired by the Lightning, Syracuse continued to excel, losing in the Calder Cup Finals in 2013 and 2017, and developed a number of NHL players including Lightning forwards Nikita Kucherov, Yanni Gourde and Brayden Point, and goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy. Throughout BriseBois' ascension, his intelligence and commitment stood out.
"Julien spent a lot of time in Syracuse," said former Syracuse radio play-by-play announcer Dan Duva, who is now with the Vegas Golden Knights. "He wasn't on every road trip, but he made a point of being with the team. He would be working out of the coach's office in Syracuse and sometimes you'd see him working out in the gym after the players had left for the day. You could just see the routine: very detail oriented, very direct, very businesslike."
BriseBois' reputation throughout the NHL grew and he generated interest from other teams, but none were able to lure him away from Tampa Bay. BriseBois credited Yzerman and Lightning owner Jeff Vinik for that.
"They made it very hard to leave, both in how well I was treated here and how much I was involved in the decision-making process, the role that I had," BriseBois said. "I felt like I was contributing, and I felt like I had a voice in our decisions, and a lot of those decisions were delegated to me as well."
That prepared BriseBois for this next step. Although he's the third youngest NHL GM behind John Chayka, 29, of the Arizona Coyotes and Kyle Dubas, 32, of the Toronto Maple Leafs, BriseBois paid his dues.
"If you want to put together a syllabus to become a leading executive, Julien's followed it: Get educated, watch, get experiences, learn, get around smart people," said TSN analyst and former Calgary Flames GM Craig Button, who first encountered BriseBois when he was handling salary arbitration cases. "He's never been in a race to get somewhere yesterday. He's been in a place to get where he wants to go prepared and ready to be very good at it. I don't have any doubt he'll be superb."


Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop form the backbone of any landscape or travel photographer's work. The majority of use either or them or both in conjunction with one another.
In this week's vlog I wanted to show some of the processing techniques that I do in order to create a finished file. And I say some as there just wasn't enough time to show everything that you "could" do to an image.
Post processing is a personal thing. Everyone has their own way of approaching it. And certainly when it comes to Adobe Photoshop there are many ways in which to achieve it.
Hopefully you'll get an insight as to how I edit landscape photos with Adobe Lightroom & Adobe Photoshop. I'm sure that the next vlog on this subject will be different again so keep your eyes peeled and make sure to subscribe if you haven't done so already!


Thread by @selectedwisdom: "Regarding this NYT story from this weekend, imagine you are a FBI Agent working Russian counterintelligence in 2016 and you witness the foll […]"
This is just the PUBLIC evidence. I'm sure there's tons of evidence that we aren't seeing (as with all investigations). This is so real that politicians and media are basically concluding he's a Russian asset.
This is an insane, unprecedented time. Just as nobody thought the world would get to this point, nobody knows how it will unravel.
The investment community is barely talking about this potential black swan we all see coming. How can a domestic political war be anything but bad for the markets? And I think 'domestic political war' is the base case scenario. Things could get way uglier over the next couple years. And things could get relatively bad over the long-run too if American world leadership continues to erode.
I think people are afraid to talk about this because they don't want to sound like conspiracy theorists. But this is quite real.
America was clearly outsmarted by Russia and Russia will continue its efforts to undermine western countries. I believe Russia and China are vying to become the new two-state global superpower, with a cooperative, interdependent relationship with each other. They're playing the long-game and the rest of the world is just getting played.

On Friday, a helicopter was originally called out to the remote area of the crash but was quickly turned back when first responders arrived by vehicle.
Deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff's Office also responded to the crash. Major crimes investigators were sent to the scene as is typical in certain unusual fatal incidents, sheriff's officials said Friday.
No additional information about the plane or the crash was available Sunday, sheriff's officials said.
