The architecture and urbanism limited us all, making real decisions as a symptom of a society that promotes ideologies. Thus Simona Rota sees architecture as a code, a appropriation of territory that allows an overview of the world at a particular point in the history of a civilization with multiple implications and scales, with different levels of reading as the eye that looks. The architecture as a tool, as a platform for expression of power and as a result of how we imagine the world. This way it oppresses our movements, habits and dreams as a cage in which a bird lives. A cage that looks very differently depending on your position on this, as an observer of the object, as a resident or in relation to the environment and their own characteristics prior and persistent.
The architecture fits us physically and mentally so ubiquitous. Now we are suffering the consequences of the construction bubble and the paradigm shifts in the consumption of housing, perhaps we can begin to shape the architecture as one of the key limiting codes of our existence in all its forms. Viewing in our environment we can detect what we think about ourselves as a civilization, what we think and what we dream of or pretend to be.
The architecture view from a dual presence of contrasts but with a starting point of this show starring Simona Rota. A set of oppositions facing a mirror, between inside and outside, between the inhabited and abandoned, between everyday life inside Big Exit and absolute solitude of Instant Village and Ostalgia. Contrasts that are correlated in different formats and series that come together in the room for the viewer to travel between their images with the same atmosphere and multiple interpretations.
This selection of works created in three independently series, note the importance of architecture, both in the domestic life of the people and in the public life of societies. Giving form to space uses, the buildings emerge in a frozen moment that will not be repeated. The warmth inside Big Exit shows a female figure looking out her oppressive apartment, limiting her actions and condition of her lifestyle. While in this series the key is provided by the female figure, both in Instant Village and Ostalgia, the silence and lack of human is relating what architecture provides all the power for which it was created, from the political advertising of the buildings of the former Soviet Union and as the urban aberrations of the Spanish coast.
The poetics of abandonment, the disconnect between landscape and architecture or between construction and social reality is one of the key drivers of Simona Rota´s production, highlighting pieces in this selection of the resounding power of architecture as a source of our existence, in which we develop at all levels.

Another day, another reason to get more excited about this year's Ultra Music Festival! Just recently, the festival's Twitter account revealed that Martin Garrix and his label, STMPD RCRDS, will take over the UMF Radio Stage again. They did it already back in 2019, and now, they plan to party with fans again this year. "@MartinGarrix's label, @stmpdrcrds is back to host the @UMFRadio Stage only at #Ultra2020 this March!" tweeted Ultra Music Festival. They even added a teaser clip featuring footage from last year's event on the tweet to further increase the hype around it. Though the festival has officially announced the label takeover, they have yet to announce the lineup for this special stage. Last year saw a number of exciting DJs play for fans on that stage. Julian Jordan played B2B with Brooks while, subsequently, Dubvision also played B2B with Raiden. The rest of that lineup included Justin Mylo, Cazztek and Van Duo, among many others.
Though unconfirmed, it's highly likely the STMP RCRDS takeover will happen during Phase 2 of the festival. Another DJ and his label are also set to take over the UMF Radio Stage during Phase 1—Hardwell and Revealed Recordings. Last month, the festival's Twitter account also revealed that Hardwell's Revealed Recordings will dominate the said stage. They also included them in the official lineup that they released even prior to that tweet. So with this new announcement regarding Martin Garrix's label, it's safe to assume that Revealed Recordings will take over during Phase 1 of the festival. And subsequently, STMP RCRDS will have their day during Phase 2. Surprisingly, this isn't the first time the festival created confusion regarding two DJs and one stage. Late last year, the festival announced that Carl Cox's Resistance Miami will take over the Megastructure stage. This confused fans since Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance always dominated that stage. Fortunately, the festival reassured fans that A State Of Trance will still return for the 2020 edition. However, they have yet to reveal what stage they'll take over. Most likely, Resistance Miami will take over the Megastructure stage during Phase 1 while A State Of Trance will head it by Phase 2.
For now, it seems that all preparations are underway. Still, fans are hoping that the organizers have made sure the festival won't see any problems this year. Throughout last year, Ultra faced various challenged regarding the venue for its 2020 edition. Due to conflicts with the city of Miami, they had to hold their 2019 festival on Virginia Key instead of their usual home at Bayfront Park. But months after, they reached an agreement with the city council to return the festival back to Miami just in time for 2020. However, there have been reports that organizers have yet to fulfill their side of the agreement just months prior to the 2020 edition. The Ultra Music Festival will happen from March 20 to 22, 2020. This year, they return to Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida. Stay tuned on this space for more updates!

Global icon Priyanka Chopra is living her life like a Diva in Los Angeles, the stunning beauty after tying the knot with her beau Nick Jonas is enjoying her time in LA. She is seen bonding with her in-laws and also spending quality time with her hubby along with handling her various projects. But one thing we can say for sure is that her sense of style is truly enviable.
The Diva known for her sense of style was recently spotted in an all-white ensemble that has caught the attention of the fashion police and they are all praise for it.
PeeCee who has been slaying us with her sartorial fashion choices on the red carpet, events and on outings with family and friends has proved once again why she is named as the Diva by the fashion police. This time around she garnered praises for her all-white outfit.
Priyanka was currently papped in Los Angeles while she was coming out of a store in an all-white avatar but with a twist that added the much-needed oomph to the outfit.
Priyanka was wearing a Ports 1961 coat ($2438) (costing around Rs. 1 lakh,73 thousand) paired with American Eagle jeans ($50 i.e Rs 3,560 approx) and Wolford bodysuit ($155 i.e. Rs. 11,035 approx). She had added a twist to her entire ensemble with a Stuart Weitzman beige boots (€539 i.e Rs. 38,379) that went well with her outfit. To complete her look she carried a Prada bag ($3100 i.e Rs 2 lakh 20 thousand approx). The total cost of the outfit is around Rs 4 lakh 46 thousand approximately, which might be much more than your entire year's salary.
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra will next be seen in Shonali Bose, 'The Sky is Pink' which also stars Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim in important roles. The diva is also doing 'Isn't It Romantic?' which will release on February 13 in the USA.


I eagerly plunge my spoon into my bowl. My excitement is particularly keen. I have anxiously awaited this moment for many weeks. With a quick movement of my hand, I stir my first good batch of yogurt into a smooth consistency. My spoon filled, I hold it up in front of me. The yogurt is thick and creamy. I open my mouth and slide it in, savoring its luminescent flavor—freshly made yogurt with organic milk from pasture-grazed cows—with just a hint of tartness. It's heavenly.
As you read this, you may be thinking, "What's the big deal? It's just yogurt." Well, while it may be just yogurt, it's a food that I consume every day for breakfast so it's really important to me. And I recently made a shocking discovery. After rereading the nutritional label of my no-longer-favorite brand of yogurt, I learned the sugar content jumped from and 28 grams of sugar to 34 grams. 34 grams! Is that really necessary? While I already knew I was eating my dessert for breakfast, I just couldn't believe the manufacturer increased the sugar content even more. For those of you who may not know, 34 grams of sugar on a nutritional label translates into over 8 teaspoons in just one serving. Shocking, I know.
It's well known by all who know me that I love making things I could easily buy. Lotion, kombucha, almond butter, mustard, you name it. While I enjoy the products I successfully concoct on the first try, it's the challenging ones like this yogurt that are the most satisfying. I started out by buying what I thought was a foolproof culture. After several failed attempts and many adjustments, I just gave it up. Even after doing my research and consulting with experts, I couldn't figure out why my yogurt became a mess of curds and whey. Or was thin and runny. Or was just not that great tasting.
Then I was inspired by my first taste of yogurt in France. I was hooked and desperate for more. A dear friend who knew of my dilemma gave me two books, The Art of Fermentation by Sandor Katz and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) cookbook by America's Test Kitchen. Armed with these two resources and a yogurt made with a French culture, I tried yet again. And then it happened—magic!
Through an ordinary experience such as yogurt making, I was offered an opportunity supported by inspiration and serendipity to learn, practice, and grow my skills in the kitchen. And savor the flavors of my creation.


This past weekend, a few of us from Hatchbuck attended a local music festival, Loufest, filled with great music, local beer, delectable food, perfect weather, and a swarm of millennials.
Festivals are sensory overload and an experience that lives on with the attendee. I'll never forget the colors and friendly warmth of Coachella, the torrential down pour that always occurs during Lollapalooza, or 3 days on the beach. However, when you really get down to it, how is one festival any different than the next on the business end? If anyone tells you that the music industry is dead, they aren't paying attention to these festivals popping up all over the country.
Millennials love pretty pictures. Instagram and Tumblr are for millennials which are both the social channels designed for visual content.
Check out the full Millennials and Social Media infographic from Marketing Strategies.
Instagram is an excellent channel to start with because users aren't as guarded as they are on Facebook and it's easier to create a successful strategy. Your visual content strategy will lead to your success on this social channel. Use Instagram to showcase and tell the story of your brand.
Coca-Cola is a great example because they are clever and creative while making it looks so easy. Not much else needs to be said since Coca-Cola is one of the most loved brands worldwide.
Instagram is also great for B2B! Coolfire is a design agency in the St. Louis area so naturally they're bursting at the seams with creativity. They use Instagram to highlight their company culture beautifully.
This one is used for a lifestyle branding technique. Madewell uses their buyer personas to drill down to figure out how those girls live their daily lives from what the're eating, reading, or doing; they have it figured out.
If you're feeling really up to the challenge, I would suggest checking out Vine. This channel is, in my opinion, where the pulse of millennial trends spur from. However, they don't typically make it to Facebook unless in a Buzzfeed article.
You might as well call us millennial smart-phone-hands… and instead of griping about it, capitalize on it!
Loufest did a great job encouraging attendees to submit their images to their hashtag which they then pull onto their website. They also used an Instagram campaign to build excitement in the days leading up to the festival.
With the rise of easy photo editing and Instagram, anyone can become a photographer with professional looking images. By setting up a UGC component to your visual content strategy, you can increase your volume and share of voice without paying an arm and a leg with a professional photographer.
Running social contests is your best bet for collecting UGC. Set up a relevant hashtag for your brand that can live on past the contest. If you have a brick and mortar, post that baby all over the place and encourage your customers to use it!
There are so many social tools to track social hashtags and even plug-ins for your website to pull those images directly to your page.
I'm a huge advocate for UGC because it takes much of the burden of creating visual content off of your shoulders. Plus, you create a legion of advocates without much work to maintain it and it's an easy way to boost employee engagement and morale.
If it's appropriate for your small business, becoming a vendor at a local festival could be an awesome opportunity. Millennials get a lot of criticism but one thing they do surprisingly well is supporting small business.
Corporate sponsors are very clearly there but on the grounds of a festival, local business and restaurants have so many opportunities to connecting with the festival audience. At Loufest alone, 19 restaurants made up the "Noshpit" and 15 small business "from the St. Louis creative community and beyond" in the Market Square.
Festivals aren't a new idea; every generation has had their fair share of outdoor music festivals. Shout outs to the Boomers… there's a great visual content strategy there by putting a modern spin to your nostalgia; you guys knew what was up!

Salmonella contamination can cause symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and, in some cases, severe symptoms that can lead to hospitalization. For more information about the case involving contaminated chicken sold at Fareway stores or about salmonella contamination, please contact the food poisoning lawyers at 1-888-335-4901.
At least 65 people have now reported illnesses related to chicken salad they purchased from Fairway grocery stores from early January to early February. Twenty-eight of those have been hospitalized. No deaths have yet been reported. The illnesses stemming from salmonella contamination span five states at last count: Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
At this point, neither the grocery store nor the supplier, Triple T Specialty Meats, is accepting blame for the chicken salad that has caused food poisoning among its customers. Officials from Fareway Stores Inc. have stated they removed the chicken salad from their deli before it was recalled. However, they did sell the contaminated product from January 4, 2018, to February 9, 2018. The recall was issued by Triple T Specialty Meats, Inc., on February 21.
The chicken salad was produced at Triple T Specialty Meats' Ackley, Iowa, facility, and that company is stating that no contamination was found there. They are shifting the blame to the shipping process, saying the chicken salad must have been contaminated when it was transported to the stores.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising all consumers who may have purchased chicken salad from Fairway grocery stores to dispose of it properly, following appropriate food safety guidelines. If the consumer cannot remember the date of purchase, it is best to throw out the contaminated product.
The chicken salad should be placed in a sealed bag and then disposed of in the trash. Any surfaces the chicken salad may have touched, including the consumers' hands, should then be cleaned thoroughly.

While it has never been said that to enjoy music one must, it has, alas, so often occurred. This, being in the truest sense of the word nature, has passed so often those whose consciousness is bare to the, and in total some, parlance of our idiom: when our senses derive into height, when our reasons fragment into hope, and when our being crouches wide and smart, we are but hardly - we spend, if you will, the turn. But as, but as, oh but as for tokenism, who can? Nor I, but we, and us, traitingly, might. I must begin to dig here and decompartmentalise, so some say, our very ordinary. Forever dipping, twisting and stalking, it (I say it!) may not be such a bad thing. Only a jillock would agree, but yet it is true - truer than many great myths of our time even. Rings become pearls as mode finds will and every fashion, it doesn't matter what, it doesn't matter what, will die. To clutch this to one's plate receives the whole, voidless of heed nor neither. Splendid. We had, long ago, time, but now we have no. All felt away, it fractures and once again selects itself in honour. This, my friend, is all.


In which we document the newest addition to the family.
In which our family has photo fun at the Willowwood Arboretum.
Spent a seasonally warm autumn day with this cute little girl and her amazing providers. "One look? One look? I don't think so!"
I spent some time with my favorite wing man who is super excited to meet his new brother.
For Mother's Day, Nadia requested family photos with her family. We ventured into their backyard oasis, and Blake energetically started showing me all of his different sport skills. We ended the day talking about his favorite video game, Planets vs Zombies, and showing me his house and farm in Minecraft. In between, we were able to catch a few family portraits together.
Lisa and Josh decided to find out the gender of their baby, but wait a few weeks to find out during a gender reveal party with their family. They were both pretty confident they were having a boy based off old wives' tales. You can scroll down to relive the surprise with them.
My best little buddy turned two recently and to celebrate we adventured in the fall leaves and at the playground.
This little girl turned one year adorable, so we took some photos at Schooley's Mountain Park in Long Valley, New Jersey to celebrate. She's obviously a Harry Potter fan.


RODOLFO "RUDY" CANLAS, VICTORIA CANLAS, FELICIDAD CANLAS and SPOUSES PABLO CANLAS AND CHARITO CANLAS, Petitioners, v. ILUMINADA TUBIL, Respondent.
Assailed in this Petition for Review on Certiorari is the June 12, 2008 Decision1 of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 99736, which reversed the April 11, 2007 Decision2 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Guagua, Pampanga, Branch 50, in Special Civil Case No. G-06-544, and ordered said Regional Trial Court to decide the case on merits, pursuant to Section 8, par. 2 of Rule 40 of the Rules of Court. The RTC affirmed the Decision3 of the Municipal Trial Court (MTC) of Guagua, Pampanga, Branch 2, which dismissed Civil Case No. 3582 for unlawful detainer filed by respondent Iluminada Tubil. Also assailed is the September 1, 2008 Resolution4 of the Court of Appeals which denied the Motion for Reconsideration.
On October 23, 2006, the MTC rendered judgment dismissing the complaint for unlawful detainer because respondent failed to show that the possession of the petitioners was by mere tolerance.
Respondent appealed to the RTC which rendered its Decision on April 11, 2007 affirming in toto the judgment of the MTC. Respondent filed a motion for reconsideration but it was denied in an Order9 dated June 8, 2007.
WHEREFORE, in view of all the foregoing premises, judgment is hereby rendered by us SETTING ASIDE the decision rendered by Branch 50 of the RTC in Guagua, Pampanga on April 11, 2007 in Special Civil Case No. G-06-544 and ORDERING the said regional trial court branch to decide Special Civil Case No. G-06-544 on the merits based on the entire record of the proceedings had in the Municipal Trial Court of Guagua, Pampanga in Civil Case No. 3582 and such memoranda as are filed therewith, without prejudice to the admission of amended pleadings and additional evidence in the interest of justice, pursuant to par. 2 of Section 8 of Rule 40 of the 1997 Revised Rules of Court.
We note that when petitioners filed their motion to dismiss before the MTC, they claimed that it is the RTC which has jurisdiction over the subject matter. However, in the instant Petition for Review, petitioners changed their theory; they now claim that it is the MTC, and not the RTC, which has jurisdiction over the subject matter since the dispossession was only for five months counted from respondent's last demand to the filing of the complaint for unlawful detainer before the MTC.
As a rule, a change of theory cannot be allowed.13 However, when the factual bases thereof would not require presentation of any further evidence by the adverse party in order to enable it to properly meet the issue raised in the new theory,14 as in this case, the Court may give due course to the petition and resolve the principal issues raised therein.
The issue to be resolved is which court, the MTC or the RTC has jurisdiction over the subject matter. If it is an unlawful detainer case, the action was properly filed in the MTC. However, if the suit is one for accion publiciana, original jurisdiction is with the RTC, which is mandated not to dismiss the appeal but to decide the case on the merits pursuant to Section 8 of Rule 40 of the Rules of Court.
On the other hand, accion publiciana is the plenary action to recover the right of possession which should be brought in the proper regional trial court when dispossession has lasted for more than one year. It is an ordinary civil proceeding to determine the better right of possession of realty independently of title. In other words, if at the time of the filing of the complaint, more than one year had elapsed since defendant had turned plaintiff out of possession or defendant's possession had become illegal, the action will be, not one of forcible entry or illegal detainer, but an accion publiciana.
(4) within one year from the last demand on defendant to vacate the property, the plaintiff instituted the complaint for ejectment.
In the instant case, respondent's allegations in the complaint clearly make a case for an unlawful detainer, essential to confer jurisdiction on the MTC over the subject matter. Respondent alleged that she was the owner of the land as shown by Original Certificate of Title No. 111999 issued by the Register of Deeds of Pampanga; that the land had been declared for taxation purposes and she had been paying the taxes thereon; that petitioners' entry and construction of their houses were tolerated as they are relatives; and that she sent on January 12, 2004 a letter demanding that petitioners vacate the property but they failed and refused to do so. The complaint for unlawful detainer was filed on June 9, 2004, or within one year from the time the last demand to vacate was made.
The ruling in the Sarona case cited by petitioner i.e., that a complaint for unlawful detainer should allege when and how entry on the land was made by the defendant, finds no application to the case at bar. In Sarona, the main issue was the timeliness of the filing of the complaint before the MTC. In forcible entry cases, the prescriptive period is counted from the date of defendant's actual entry on the land; in unlawful detainer, from the date of the last demand to vacate. Hence, to determine whether the case was filed on time, there was a necessity to ascertain whether the complaint was one for forcible entry or unlawful detainer. In light of these considerations, the Court ruled that since the main distinction between the two actions is when and how defendant entered the land, the determinative facts should be alleged in the complaint. Thus, in Sarona, the jurisdiction of the MTC over the complaint was never in issue for whether the complaint was one for forcible entry or unlawful detainer, the MTC had jurisdiction over it. The case at bar is different for at issue is the jurisdiction of the MTC over the unlawful detainer case for petitioner (defendant therein) asserts that the case is one for accion publiciana cognizable by the RTC.
In the instant case, the timeliness of the filing of the complaint is not at issue as the dispossession of the property by the respondent has not lasted for more than one year. Thus, the ruling of the RTC that the length of time she was dispossessed of the property is almost 36 years, which made her cause of action beyond the ambit of unlawful detainer and became one for accion publiciana,27 lacks legal and factual basis.
Section 1, Rule 70 of the Rules of Court allows a plaintiff to bring an action in the proper inferior court for unlawful detainer within one year, after such unlawful withholding of possession, counted from the date of the last demand.28 The records show that respondent sent the demand to vacate the property to the petitioners on January 24, 2004 and filed the complaint for unlawful detainer on June 9, 2004, which is well within the one-year period.
Having ruled that the MTC acquired jurisdiction over Civil Case No. 3582, it thus properly exercised its discretion in dismissing the complaint for unlawful detainer for failure of the respondent to prove tolerance by sufficient evidence. Consquently, Section 8 (2nd par.) of Rule 40 of the Rules of Court which ordains the Regional Trial Court not to dismiss the cases appealed to it from the metropolitan or municipal trial court which tried the same albeit without jurisdiction, but to decide the said case on the merits, finds no application here.
WHEREFORE, the petition is GRANTED. The June 12, 2008 Decision of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 99736 ordering the Regional Trial Court of Guagua, Pampanga, Branch 50 to decide Special Civil Case No. G-06-544, as well as its September 1, 2008 Resolution denying the Motion for Reconsideration, are REVERSED and SET ASIDE. The October 23, 2006 Decision of the MTC of Guagua, Pampanga, Branch 2, dismissing the complaint for unlawful detainer for failure of respondent to show that petitioners' possession of the subject property was by mere tolerance is REINSTATED and AFFIRMED.

It's so fun when we can bring a little bit of light hearted fun into our adult day, isn't it?
OK David, this is a fall/thanksgiving/halloween card just waiting to happen!!!! Beautiful capture.

"Digitalisation challenges Waldorf education as a whole"
Interview with Professor Edwin Hübner from the Freie Hochschule Stuttgart – Seminar for Waldorf Pedagogy about the consequences of the digital age for education.
Erziehungskunst | For some time now you have been involved in media education in Waldorf schools. First there was Struwwelpeter 2.0, a general information brochure about media education, which was followed by Struwwelpeter 2.1, a "guide for parents through the media jungle". In it you advocate media abstinence as the best prerequisite for media literacy. How do you explain this contradiction?
Edwin Hübner | It is not a contradiction when I take the development of the human being into account. I first have to be literate with regard to myself before I can be literate with regard to something else. When we look at the development of the human being, then the first task of the child is to be in control of their own body: that is walking upright, gross motor skills, fine motor skills; then speaking and the simultaneous development of the senses because through them they enter into a relationship with the world. Finally they have to learn to think imaginatively. The child simply has to develop their whole body and thus also their brain. Once the child has done all those things and anchored themselves in the real world, then, building on that, they can learn to master the analogue technologies followed by the virtual world. But if I confront them prematurely with virtuality, they are at home neither in the physically real nor the virtual world.
EK | In other words, media consumption at too early an age prevents the development of the foundations?
EH | The structures of the brain formed in early childhood can only be changed at a later age – if at all – with a great deal of effort. The experiences in early childhood and, above all, the type of activity play a crucial role for the whole of the rest of life. In short, through "grasping" something with the physical body, the child develops the physical basis for their later intellectual "grasp" of things, that is their conceptual ability.
If children use tablets too much, then they don't have the time and, above all, are not challenged to develop their fine motor skills sufficiently. Smartphones und tablets are so simple to use that even small children can do so without any difficulty. This is then often interpreted to mean that the children are particularly clever. In truth these devices are simply incredibly easy to use but because they are so simple they inhibit the development of fine motor skills.
The children then become skilful users of a device but clumsy in real life tasks. There are already reports that there are children in the early classes who due to the lack of development of fine motor skills are incapable of holding a pencil correctly. So when they start school, they have laboriously to catch up on the development they missed in early childhood before they can start to learn to write.
EK | The Waldorf kindergarten movement started its "Digital day care – No!" campaign with well-known representatives from medicine and education. The petition gained public traction and almost 70,000 signatures have been collected to date. Then, in November last year, there was a conference in Brussels on the subject "Towards a healthy digital ecosystem" at which the director for education and culture of the European Commission was represented. Will these activities influence the public debate?
EH | I think that the public debate is ambivalent. We have what might be called an official one which is dominated by the marketing of the major IT companies, but below the surface, in personal conversations, such an initiative probably delivers quite a lot.
After all, another initiative was launched in 2018 by the European Alliance of Initiatives for Applied Anthroposophy(ELIANT): "For the right to screen-free day care institutions, kindergartens and primary schools". The petition has meanwhile been translated into all European languages and we hope that we can get together a million signatures within a year. This petition is also supported by the "Alliance for a human education".
This Alliance has already had a great public impact, for example through Ralf Lankau, professor at the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences, who makes the point in his book Kein Mensch lernt digital (No person learns digitally). Lankau names the economic interests. His voice is also heard at a political level.
Then there is also the book Die Lüge der digitalen Bildung(The lie of digital education) by Ingo Leipner and Gerald Lembke. It is extraordinary for these two authors to be abused in the German lower house of parliament: these people who speak about the "lie of digital education" must not be taken seriously, must not be listened to… And yet they are listened to! Namely by the many teachers and parents who have to deal with the problems at first hand in kindergartens and schools and who simply know the realities of life. The psychiatrist and brain researcher Manfred Spitzer, known for his forthright views and clear publications, is a member of the Alliance.
EK | In other words, lobbyists have a finger in the pie and there is a whole lot of money at stake.
EH | Yes, and that is what the public campaigns are also protesting against. But that is only one aspect of the current questions for me.
We are currently living in a culture which will be dominated by artificial intelligence, in which machines "think" and "speak" with us, in which many paid jobs will disappear because the machines are "working" for us. Rudolf Steiner already said a hundred years ago that ninety percent of work would be taken over by machines. Current economic forecasts have not gone quite that far yet but they are saying that at least half of all jobs will disappear in the next twenty years.
We are heading towards radical change in our culture. The children entering school today will enter working life in twenty years – but there will be few paid jobs because intelligent machines will be able to do most of them autonomously. What will these young people do then? We have to ask today already: how do we educate children for a culture in which independent initiative will be a crucial skill? Where they will have to create their job for themselves, as it were. That means we have to think in new ways in education – not do everything from scratch but some things more intensively and some less so. That is where what I call indirect media education is required: to give the children such all-round skills that they can meet the coming radical changes in an ever more digital society.
That also includes that after learning to master analogue technologies they also become familiar with digital technologies from class 6 onwards. We have to show children how to use the Internet meaningfully, how IT technology can be used in an appropriate and meaningful way. Young people are virtuosos on their smartphone, but we have to show them how additionally to use the many different opportunities of a word processing programme with equal virtuosity. The smartphone does not explain by itself how it works, that is why it is the task of the school. When pupils leave school, it is important that they know how the Internet is structured, how mobile phone networks work and how a search engine is built.
In addition, they should have familiarised themselves with a programming language, experienced how a film is made and a radio feature produced, how information technology can be used for a presentation and how to continue to educate ourselves. That is the whole field of direct media education.
EK | You hold the von Tessin chair of media education at the Freie Hochschule in Stuttgart – Seminar of Waldorf Pedagogy, financed by the Dr. Ingeborg von Tessin und Marion von Tessin Foundation.
EH | Yes, talks were held with representatives from the foundation in the spring of 2017. The responsible people at the foundation found our ideas so convincing that they are granting us startup financing for our project for five years.
EK | Is it still in the conception phase or is there already a kind of curriculum? To whom is the programme addressed?
EH | That is, of course, in the first instance our students at the Seminar, for whom we have set up media education modules as part of the undergraduate and post-graduate class teacher training. Beyond that, we have offered media education as a subsidiary subject since 2018 – and that is something new in basic Waldorf teacher training. Alongside English, sport, music, art and handwork you can also now study media education as a subsidiary subject at the Freie Hochschule Stuttgart – Seminar for Pedagogy.
The training is conceived in such a way that the graduates are then able to develop or expand the media education department in middle or upper school. This full-time course is also open in part for working teachers who want to attend individual blocks as further training. The precise dates can be found on the website of the Seminar.
Beyond that, we started last year to offer an intensive media education further training course for active teachers which is tailored for them.
EK | How does that work?
EH | This training extends over two large modules comprising seven weekends. The first module teaches the basics. That starts with an explanation of how the Internet and search engines work, how this can be discussed in class and continues with the discussion of the findings of media studies. A lawyer talks about the legal situation on the Internet. A whole weekend is devoted to the subject of bullying. The first module thus teaches the basic knowledge that is needed for the discussion with pupils and parents. The second module teaches practical media skills, that is how you make a film with young people, produce a radio feature, prepare a contribution for Wikipedia.
For participants who want to specialise in counselling work with children, young people and parents, we offer a parallel third module which provides further training to become a therapeutic school media counsellor. We do this further training course in collaboration with the teacher training seminar in Berlin.
EK | How many people have taken this further training course?
EH | Currently there are about 15 participants, very committed people who come from all over Germany. And the next training course has meanwhile also started.
EK | Paula Bleckmann at Alanus University is doing similar work. Is there cooperation? Then there are also contacts with Dornach to the Pedagogical Section. What does the network look like?
EH | We are currently in the process of expanding this network. Paula Bleckmann and I were also previously in the "Media Working Group" of the German Association of Waldorf Schools. Franz Glaw was also a member, as was Katinka Penert from Switzerland. We also invited additional people to a meeting in Dornach in November 2018 to tackle the question of how we could create a better network.
EK | Is the Seminar in Stuttgart the exclusive contact point?
EH | No. The Seminar in Stuttgart is of course a very important node in the network since our emphasis is on teaching practice. That is also the condition for the sponsorship from the Dr. Ingeborg von Tessin and Marion von Tessin Foundation, that something is done directly to help the schools. That is why two members of our working group are engaged in documenting concrete projects which are already being undertaken with pupils at various schools, describing them in such a way that, on the one hand, they provide concrete help for teachers in their lessons and, on the other hand, offer suggestions for schools as to what they could still include in their teaching provision. That relates above all to the field of computer science as well as the fields of radio and film. We are aiming to start editing two larger publications within a year whose content we will also make available online.
EK | So you want primarily to expand computer science teaching in the schools and introduce media education projects in upper school?
EH | Correct, but it is also a matter of making schools aware that it is not simply about additional classes which then also still have to be taught. The digitalisation of life poses a challenge to Waldorf education as a whole. Media education has to grow as part of the life of the school. Direct media education has to be embedded in good indirect media education. To that end we have consciously to shape the every-day life of the school out of the spiritual foundations of Waldorf education. We want given an impulse for that.

When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
And light the dawn
Look into my eyes, my love, and see
All the lovely things, you are, to me
Our wistful little star
Was far, too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so, so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joy that love can bring
I will be remembering

If you've been itching to check out Flowers of Hell's O, the Canada/UK outfit's sprawling new album made up of a single 45-minute track, now is your chance. We now have the entire record streaming here in Click Hear.
The album was recorded in Toronto with engineer Jon Drew (Fucked Up, Tokyo Police Club) and mixed in Manchester, UK by Flowers of Hell leader Greg Jarvis and Tom Knott of the Earlies. Both Jarvis and Knott have synaesthesia, a neurological condition that causes the senses to intermingle, leading the band to dub O "a vibrant 3D world of synaesthetic sights."
According to Jarvis, "While I was working on building a virtual world of shimmering, pulsating shapes all around us, he [Knott] was swathing us in vibrant colours, casting them about the room,"
O, as well as the accompanying DVD Live at the Music Gallery, will come out through Optical Sounds/Outside Music on November 16. Also, the band will be playing the entire album on Saturday (November 13) at St. Stephen in the Field (103 Bellevue Ave.) in Toronto. You can stream the entire album below.

40 Under 40 2017: Rick Rhodes
August 01, 2017 by PRWeek Staff
EVP, director of sports and entertainment, Zeno Group, 38
Rick Rhodes hit a milestone in 2016: After just three years, the sports and entertainment practice he founded at Zeno Group passed the $5 million mark, and it engaged some of the agency's largest and most high-profile clients — Anheuser-Busch, Intel, and Pilot Flying J.
Throughout his time at Zeno, Rhodes has delivered significant revenue growth while navigating the nation's biggest events, from the Super Bowl to Sundance, the Daytona 500 to The Masters, and the CMA Awards to the World Series. His banner year in 2016 closed with Anheuser-Busch clocking in as Zeno's third-largest client — a brand relationship that started with a lead from Rhodes in 2013 and had grown to encompass more than 12 brands plus NFL-related work by 2016.
Rhodes helped build Zeno's celebrity and athlete partnership roster, which includes Kerry Washington for Allstate Foundation Purple Purse, Madison Bumgarner for Jockey, Smylie Kaufman for Natural Light, and Sophia Bush for EcoTools. He's also been effective at bringing clients onto major public stages and rethinking and representing their brands in powerful new ways to expand audience reach and impact.
The sports and entertainment director led the Zeno team that recruited Washington as spokesperson for the Purple Purse campaign against domestic violence. The program raised $50 million through fundraising events and sales of purple purses designed by Washington to support better financial education for women. It also helped more than 1 million survivors of domestic violence recover their financial independence.
Rhodes also headed the team that brought on NFL Hall of Famer Bruce Smith for Anheuser-Busch's Responsible Drinking campaign and convinced Smith to go public with his own experiences of DUI. The program pioneered a unique partnership with Uber for ridesharing after the Super Bowl, featured a PSA with more than 100,000 views, and generated 168 media stories that showcased the essentials of responsible drinking.
He played a key role in helping Pilot Flying J, the nation's 12th-largest privately held company, organize and execute the Battle at Bristol football game that drew 153,000 people, the largest attendance in college football history.
Rhodes is a winner of six Silver Anvils and has been shortlisted for a Cannes Lion.
He co-launched Cohn & Wolfe's first sports and entertainment practice and managed AT&T's entire sports sponsorship portfolio with FleishmanHillard's St. Louis-based sports and entertainment practice.

Sebastian Vettel took a flag-to-flag victory at the Singapore GP tonight in his Ferrari over the Red Bull-Renault of Daniel Ricciardo - 1.4 seconds behind, and the second Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen in third place 17.1 seconds behind the leader.
The win is Vettel™s third of the season for Ferrari and it moves him into third on the all-time wins list, with 42 victories, ahead of Ayrton Senna with 41 wins.
Nico Rosberg (24.7s) finished in fourth in the Mercedes GP, followed by Valtteri Bottas (34.2s) in the Williams-Mercedes in fifth place, Daniil Kvyat (35.5s) in the second Red Bull in sixth, Sergio Perez (50.8s) in the Force India-Mercedes in seventh, Max Verstappen (51.4s) in the Toro Rosso-Renault in eighth, his team mate Carlos Sainz (52.8s) in ninth and Felipe Nasr (90.0s) in the final points paying position in tenth place.
Before the start the drivers got ready to contest one of the hottest races on the F1 calendar with Vettel on pole next to his former team mate Ricciardo on the front row, followed by Raikkonen and Kvyat on the second row, Hamilton and Rosberg on the third row, Botttas and Verstappen on the fourth row and Massa and Grosjean rounding out the top ten grid position.
Rosberg is having a problem with his start proceedure and is unable to drive around to the grid. The team works on the problem and gets the German on his way.
With a safety car getting called in each of the seven prior events, expect another one tonight.
Pirelli expecting the race to be to run with a three-stop strategy, running the super soft tyres first, and the soft tyres for the last segment.
For the first time since 2007 an American driver will start a grand prix with Alexander Rossi driving for the Manor team.
With the start approaching the temperature was 29 degrees, the driver will face a gruelling two hour challenge tonight.

Meet the Advisors
Ellsworth M. Statler & Kemmons Wilson
By: David M. Brudney
Member of Laguna Strategic Advisors
"Cathedral Thinking" is a term now back in use, reminding us that idea pioneers and long-range thinkers have always been the ones who did today those things that would benefit future generations – be they grandchildren or fellow entrepreneurs or communities. Often, it is about designing something or creating a concept that will grow and develop and become more evolved given time – and eventually be instrumental in a new good, a gift to others.
Long before the concept came into vogue, two hospitality industry pioneers were Cathedral Thinkers in their own way, without ever intending to be. Ellsworth Statler and Kemmons Wilson became hotel icons whose vision and innovations helped create much of the hotel industry landscape we know today – and they did it by putting in place foundation stones and a design that needed future generations to build upon their idea, and to enhance their commitment to bring it into a fullness that was enjoyed by people not born when they began their endeavor.
First there was Ellsworth M. Statler
Ellsworth Statler laid the foundation for modern customer service when, in 1907, he was the first to coin the vision "The customer is always right." And as a hotel developer, he decreed a motto that would take years and generations to achieve a standard of acceptance. About his design for accommodation properties, he envisioned that hotels could be a place average income individuals could stay, where they could be rested. He saw them, done right, as a foundational part of the tourism industry that was in its infancy, barely defined.
Prior to the opening the Statler Hotel in Buffalo, NY in 1907, the U.S. hotel industry catered primarily to the wealthy. Hotels designed to serve the middle class and below were mostly dark, drab, unclean properties offering poor quality food. And it was common practice for innkeepers to achieve a "full house" by booking complete strangers as bedmates for all guests in double-bedded rooms.
Statler set out to establish a new order, and famously said: "All I want to do is to have more comforts and conveniences and serve better food than any of them have or do, and mine will be at a price ordinary people can afford." He set standards for comfort and cleanliness at moderate prices.
His Buffalo hotel heralded in newspapers, handbills, and on all available building side boards, "A room and a bath for a dollar and a half." He was the first to design what became known as the "Statler plumbing shaft", a common shaft that allowed bathrooms to be built back to back providing two bathrooms for almost the price of one. Each room in the Buffalo Statler would have running water and a private bath – the first in the USA to do so.
He introduced guest features that are so commonplace today including chilled water circulating to every bathroom, in-room telephones, keyholes under the doorknobs (for easier room access given poorly lighted hallways), wall light switches, full-size lighted closets, and a free newspaper delivered every morning.
Was Statler a long-term visionary? For sure. Was Statler a Cathedral Thinker? Absolutely. Over generations for a century to come he established a chain of middle-class hotels, which set standards for comfort and cleanliness at moderate prices.
And then there was Kemmons Wilson
"Cathedral Thinkers" come in many fashions – but they have in common the ability to take a moment or an inflection point and set in place factors or actions that only time and history will show to have been visionary. The story goes that a Memphis, Tennessee real estate agent and homebuilder packed the family car and headed north on vacation in 1951 with five kids bound for the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. Wilson's journey became "The vacation that changed the face of the American road," wrote David Halberstam in his 1993 book "The Fifties."
Post-war Americans had new interstate highways to travel with growing families and new discretionary money to spend. Railroads were losing appeal and even the wealthy concurred that new air travel was too expensive.
And besides, gas was cheap (yes, true!), station wagons were a common family acquisition, and gas tanks were getting larger to enhance longer journeys. Cars were large enough to carry growing families (the new baby population grew by over four million a year).
That Memphis businessman was Kemmons Wilson and he was appalled by the tacky, unkempt and unpredictable motels found along the way. And he found inconsistent charging practices including the era's then-common practice of adding a $2-per-child surcharge by some roadside motels.
Wilson found that galling because of his own common-sense approach to building houses: "The space in the middle of a house doesn't cost anything," he said. He reasoned that once the room was already rented, why should that room cost more if "a few kids are running around the space in the middle." That trip led Wilson to his "Cathedral Thought", to a vision. Wilson told his wife at the end of the vacation he was going to start his own hotel chain. And he laid the foundation of a plan that would take decades of times and generations of colleagues to bring to fruition. It was an ambition worthy of a Cathedral Thinker – doing something today that will take a long time to unfold, but doing today something that you know can be built upon in a strategic fashion, always improving – and always with a view to achieving a multi-generational vision.
That experience, that vision led to today's Intercontinental Hotels Group or IHG – the parent company of Holiday Inns – which boasts more than 4,000 properties worldwide today with more than 6,500 guest rooms. IHG estimates 96 percent of Americans have stayed in a Holiday Inn at least once.
What Wilson launched in Memphis in 1952 became the business model for future roadside home-away-from home motels. It was the ushering in of a new era of hospitality – featuring so many perks that U.S. travelers now take for granted: air conditioning in every room, free parking, free ice, room rates charged by room and not by the number of guests, and very high cleanliness standards.
Wilson's Holiday Inns continued trail blazing; by 1965 the chain had introduced the first of its kind national reservations system (Holidex) allowing a visitor to any Holiday Inn to make a confirmed reservation at any Holiday Inn location. And followed Holidex with the launch of the very first ever call centers and 800 numbers.
Wilson maintained until his death in 2003 that most people wanted simplicity, quality and low-cost (McDonald's Ray Kroc may have been a disciple of Wilson's with what Kroc created in building his fast-food giant as well as a blueprint for successful franchising: "Make your franchisees millionaires before you become one"). The Economist quoted Wilson as once saying, "You can cater to rich people, and I'll take the rest. The good Lord made more of them."
And let us close with another Wilson creed, one that is not uncommon amongst Cathedral Thinkers who know that the idea is but a start; serious work is required to make that idea something that future generations will feel compelled to build upon, continue and evolve. Wilson said: "I work only a half a day. It makes no difference which half. It can either be the first 12 hours or the last 12 hours."

One Degree South
Steve Snook
One Degree South is a sweeping tale of love, politics and witchcraft set in the oil-rich nation of Gabon just as the Cold War ends. The U.S. relationship with African dictators suddenly changes and election fervor, which dominates the headlines in African capitals, sweeps through the remotest of tiny villages.
"Stephen L. Snook's One Degree South is one of the most powerful first novels I've ever come across. Snook is both a master storyteller and a perceptive and insightful observer. The novel is part love story, part political narrative and part supernatural thriller." — Twin Cities Arts & Opera Critic William Randall writing at http://www.GOODREADS.com
"Stephen L. Snook's One Degree South is a colorful African tapestry of romance, mystery and a little witchcraft. This debut novel by an author who worked in Africa for 25 years is a perfect summer read." — Mary Ann Grossmann, Saint Paul Pioneer-Press
Stephen L. Snook is a specialist in international development who has spent over 25 years living and working in Africa. In addition to Gabon, where he served as a Peace Corps volunteer, he has worked in (or visited) Botswana, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Haiti. Steve has a doctorate in political science from the University of Florida. He is married, the father of three daughters, and currently lives in Vermont. This is his first novel.
Lauren Montgomery-Rinehart writes: Beautiful, perceptive, and human account of the encounter of two worlds…that become one. This is a beautifully and intelligently written book. If you like politics, world cultures, and keen insight into the relationships between two Others, this is the book for you. If you enjoy reading about Peace Corps, Gabon, or Africa, this is the book for you. I love the characters and the voice. I love the language and cultural insights. This is a 100% enjoyable read. I found myself getting lost in the narrative and world Snook created.

Why do so many people seem to, in the words of writer Gina Hyams, "totally heart Twitter"? (And why, pray tell, do so many use it to describe their lunch?) I am still pondering these and so many other questions.

One of the best pieces in this film is Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson's "Odin's Raven Magic," a recitation of an ancient Viking poem with a full choir, orchestra, and a stone harp. What is a stone harp?

May he rest in peace: Former senator Claiborne Pell has died. (Read his obituary in the Washington Post here.) He was a major figure in the U.S. Senate, foreign relations, Georgetown society and, unlikely as it sounds, a supporter of remote viewing.
I never had the priviledge of meeting him, but he's been been on my mind occasionally because of his house on Prospect Street in Georgetown, DC. For a year back in 1979-1980, I lived in the Georgetown University's Loyola dormitory across from his garden gate; so I walked by his house almost every day. All the students knew that was Senator Pell's house--- he was famous then. Some twenty years later, when I began researching my novel, The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire, based on the true story of Agustin de Iturbide Green (1863-1925), the grandson of Mexico's Emperor Iturbide, when I delved into various archives, I found the address of his wife's the family home, an historic Federal-style mansion known then as "Quality Hill." So I took a walk up Prospect Street to have a look. Imagine my astonishment to find that it was none other than the house I'd lived next to for a year--- Senator Pell's house!
"Quality Hill" was owned by the Kearney family for much of the 19th century. In the early 20th century, Louise Kearney de Iturbide inherited it and, after a court battle against her siblings, which she won, she immediately sold it. Some histories claim that she and her husband lived there for many years, however, the records show that soon after their marriage in 1915, they went to live in an apartment on P Street near Dupont Circle.
As for Senator Pell, he sold his house a few years ago for a not insubstantial sum, as noted in Washington Life. More anon.


Island School students present research to symposium attendants.

Family reunions, holiday gatherings, receptions, picnics, camping with family and friends. What do all these activities have in common? They revolve around food and often call for a buffet table.
Prepping the food is often the easy part. It's the setting up the buffet table that can be a real challenge. There are buffet tables, and then there are BUFFET TABLES! And we all know the difference. At the first, we're stumbling over each other as we go up and down the table getting our flatware and napkin, finding a drink, or grabbing some chips.
At the second table (or tables), the BUFFET TABLE, we experience a smooth and logical flow of operation. No darting back and forth, reaching past someone to pick up the water glass you forgot on the first go-around.
1. When food is involved, people move in packs. They tend to drift, standing and munching without watching how close they are to the table or how they may be blocking the flow of other grazers.
So in consideration of this tendency, give it a starting and ending point, and make sure there is a lot of extra space at both beginning and end for people to linger and chat. Make a good flow easy and obvious. Consider creating alternate destinations for people to drift towards so others can reach the food.
If possible, put drinks on a separate table from the food. Getting a drink, especially if there is coffee, with its attendant pourers and packets of sugar, is a different flow. It's a separate station, and you need to make it easy for people to swing by and refill their glass, without pressing through the buffet line. And if indoors, you also want it near the kitchen, as jugs of water and pots of coffee are heavier (usually) than food trays, and more prone to spillage.
And here's a hospitality tip: Keep the drinks table clean. This table accumulates drips, spills, and piles of disposables as people leave their empty sugar packets next to the coffee, or dab at drips with paper napkins. Frequently survey this area and regularly swing by to mop up and keep it looking refreshed.
Back at the food table — plates at the front, cutlery at the end. The cardinal rule: NEVER make people pick up their forks, knives, spoons, sporks, or cups at the beginning of the line. Only plates, and maybe napkins should be at the beginning of the food line. All cutlery and anything else that has to be juggled goes at the end (or, even better, on the tables where people will sit down and eat). No exceptions.
And here's another hospitality tip (obvious, yet mysteriously overlooked): Don't forget the trash cans! Haven't we all been to gatherings where the trash container was nowhere to be found, yet all the food was served on disposable plates? Depending on crowd size, you may want lots of these (in conspicuous places). And consider asking someone "on staff" to be in charge of trash (from decorating the containers to just keeping them empty.
4. Put out multiple stacks of everything. And create several points of access for things. Don't put out one stack of napkins; put out three, slightly staggered for easy grabbing. For small plate or appetizer setups, put stacks of plates at both the beginning and end of the table, so people can wander up from any direction.
One more hospitality tip: Make napkins easy to grab. Stack paper napkins with the seam facing outwards, to make them easier to pick up quickly.
5. Finally, arrange the food table strategically. Besides placing all salads, all entrees, all breads, etc. together, put the most plentiful or least-expensive types of food at the beginning; push the scarcest or costliest to the end. Keep an eye on the food and within the first hour, trade places. This can help equalize things a bit.

Definition of Subordination – What it is, Meaning and Concept
by soetrust December 1, 2021 Leave a reply 10
Subordination It is a term of Latin origin that refers to the dependency relationship between one element and another. There are different types of subordination or subjection to something, for example: to command, the domain wave order someone's.
The dominance implicit in subordination can be formal or symbolic. In addition, it is important to note that although it is usual for the subordinate to abide by the command due to the existence of a hierarchical relationship that he understands and accepts, many times it happens that this domain is produced by applying the strength, such as the imposition of a certain social behavior by the forces of order through threats and physical violence.
In a hierarchical relationship there is subordination.
Subordination in grammar
On grammar This concept is used to refer to the dependency relationship that is established between two or more elements that belong to different grammatical categories (noun-adjective, preposition-regime, etc.) or between two sentences.
So that a subordinate clause there must be a hierarchical relationship between two parties. In this way, all syntactic subordination or hypotaxis implies a dependency relation where the main preposition has a greater hierarchy than the subordinate proposition. This means that the two parts cannot be exchanged without the meaning of the sentence being altered.
Subordination can be established in different ways.
Subordinate clauses
Subordinate or secondary sentences are those that do not have autonomy and necessarily depend on another sentence, which is called the main sentence. The relationship between the two sentences is introduced from phrases or conjunctions. There are two types of subordinate clauses, those that have a finite conjugated verb (explicit) or those that have a verb that is conjugated indefinitely (implicit).
It is important to clarify that, although these sentences allow to know more about the subject that carries out the action in the main sentence, they are not essential for it to make sense, while without this main sentence, the subordinate one will lack it.
The ties in subordination
When putting together a subordinate clause it is necessary to use certain links, which are essential to establish the relationship and identify the degree of hierarchy of the two parties. Sometimes these links can be omitted, when they are implicit in the sense of the sentence. This grammar device is known as juxtaposition. Example: "Roberto couldn't play. I was injured " The complete form of this sentence would be: "Roberto couldn't play because he was injured".
It is important to note that subordination can also be found within the same sentence, in the different elements that make it up. There are different types of subordination within a sentence which correspond to the three fundamental parts that make it up: nouns, adjectives and adverbs. Thus, subordinates can be substantive, adjective or adverbial (also known as circumstantial).
Examples according to type
* Subordination substantive: The subordinate complement fulfills the functions of a noun, that is, of the subject that performs the action. In the following sentence "The one who sings is from my people" the subordinate part is "the one who sings."
* Adverbial subordination: Introduce temporal, local, modal or comparative references in the sentence, modifying the verb. In case it has not been clear, they are classified in the same way that circumstantial complements do. In the sentence "The child eats as much as he wants," the subordinate is "as much as he wants."
* Adjective subordination: The preposition fulfills the function of explaining, substantiating or specifying about the fundamental element of the noun in the same way that adjectives do. They are usually preceded by expressions such as that, which, which, whose, who. In the sentence "The child who studies passes," the subordinate is "who studies."
Other examples of subordinate clauses are: "If you drink, don't drive", "I'm sleepy, so I'm going to sleep for a while" and "That's the church where we get married".
