A brief tour of human consciousness free pdf download

I know those arms. Those are the arms of a neurosurgeon. Allysa is his sister? The sister that owns the entire top floor, with the husband who works in pajamas and brings in seven figures a year? Ryle touches my ankle and inspects it.

I suck in air through my teeth and shake my head. It hurts. I tilt my head. Or five. He hands it to Ryle, who presses it against my ankle. Ryle presses his palm against the bottom of my foot. I push down with my ankle. He sits cross-legged and pulls my foot onto his lap. He looks around the room and then directs his attention back at me. But his hand on my foot is way more noticeable than the pain in my ankle.

I shrug. It gives it a bit more maturity than the SpongeBob option. He stares at me appreciatively. You make me kind of nervous. His eyes narrow as his hand moves to the underneath of my foot.

He slowly traces his fingers from the tops of my toes, down to my heel. Ryle and I both look at the doorway and Allysa is standing there, wide-eyed. Her mouth is open as she points down at Ryle.

Ryle pulls his bottom lip in and chews on it for a second. Ryle shrugs. Lots of people want to fuck me. He and Marshall help me to my feet. Marshall is more or less just standing next to me for support.

Maybe even a week or more, depending on how it heals. He carefully begins to wrap my ankle. Allysa is standing behind him, watching him wrap it. Marshall grabs her hand. Hired her a couple of hours ago. Then it hits me that he might think I hired her as a way to get closer to him. I swear. We want two different things from life, remember? A languid smile stretches across his mouth. He has to stop saying things like that.

I press my palms into the table and pull my leg down. His proximity makes it hard to pay attention to words that come out of his mouth. By the time Allysa and Marshall make it to us, Ryle is busy restacking all the crates that fell.

Allysa looks down at my ankle. I push my bottom lip out. I can work and do what I can to clean up while you rest. Not the same. I hop down and test my foot. He seems almost scared to touch me now for some reason. She takes my phone out and begins programming her number into it.

Ryle leans into the window. Baths help, too. Maybe you should drive her home and take a cab back to the apartment, just to be safe. Ryle shakes his head and then pats the roof of the car as he turns and walks away. And call me if you need anything. They begin walking down the street and I watch them in my rearview mirror. As they turn the corner, I see Ryle glance over his shoulder and look back in my direction. I close my eyes and exhale.

But somehow, him being present made them feel like less of the disasters they were. Chapter Four It takes me half an hour to make it from my car to my apartment. I slam our front door behind me and she glances up. I use the wall for support as I hop toward the hallway.

I was gonna call you back! I go to the bathroom and find some old pain pills I had stuffed into a cabinet. I swallow two of them and then fall onto my bed and stare up at the ceiling. I grab my phone and text my mother. Sprained my ankle. I think I like her more now that my father has passed away.

Even though a lot of that resentment has faded when it comes to my mother, I still have the same feelings when I think of my father. But dammit, he was awful. To my mother, to me, to Atlas. I hop pathetically to my closet, only tripping once. Luckily, I catch myself on my dresser. Once I have the journal in hand, I hop back to the bed and get comfortable. The vacuuming skit made me piss my pants.

Oh, and I recruited a new Ellen follower today in Atlas. Before you start judging me for allowing him inside my house again, let me explain how that came about. But this morning, he sat by me on the bus again. He seemed a little happier than the day before, because he slid into the seat and actually smiled at me. But the pants fit him a lot better than I thought they were going to. He leaned forward and unzipped his backpack. I finally looked down at the bag and opened it. It looked like a bunch of old gardening tools.

I was kind of in shock. I used to have a trowel, but the plastic broke off the handle and it started giving me blisters. I wanted to give you something. You know. He wrapped his arms around his backpack. Especially seniors. Being as though I have no electricity. We spent the rest of the bus ride talking about you, Ellen. When he made that comment about being bored, I asked him if he ever watched your show.

I told him he could watch your show with me after school. I always record it on the DVR and watch it while I do my chores. Katie would have a field day with that one, so I just let her stay in my seat.

Atlas was at the front of the bus, so he got off before I did. He just kind of awkwardly stood there at the bus stop and waited for me to get off.

When I did, he opened his backpack and handed me the bag of tools. He followed me inside and I locked the dead bolt. I asked him if he wanted anything to drink and he said sure. I made us a snack and brought our drinks to the living room.

But I did notice he laughed at all the right times. Every time he laughed at your jokes, it made me feel better about sneaking him into my house. He left right after your show was over. I wanted to ask him if he needed to use our shower again, but that would have cut it real close to time for my parents getting home.

The last thing I wanted was for him to have to run out of the shower and across my backyard naked. A full week of reruns? I get that you need time off, but let me make a suggestion.

Instead of recording one show a day, you should record two. That might seem a little too fan-girl. But honestly, I love it. He keeps my mind off things and I actually look forward to spending time with him after school every day. Dad got home late tonight, which means he went to the bar after work.

I swear, sometimes I get so mad at her for staying with him. That would be better than this. I can hear him yelling at her right now. Maybe I should go try that. As soon as I walked into the living room, I saw him push her down. He muttered something under his breath to her and then walked to their bedroom and slammed the door. I rushed to the kitchen and tried to help her, but she never wants me to see her like this.

When I walked closer to her, wanting to make sure she was okay, she turned her back to me and gripped the counter. Go back to your room. I ran straight out the back door and across the backyard. I was so mad at her for being short with me.

I could hear him moving inside, like he accidentally knocked something over. A few seconds later the back door opened and he looked behind me, then to the left and right of me. I used my shirt to wipe away my tears, and noticed he came outside instead of inviting me in. I sat down on the porch step and he sat down next to me. Sometimes I cry when I get mad. Then he put his arm around me and pulled me to him so that my head was resting on his shoulder.

Completely opposite of my father. We sat like that for a while, until I saw my bedroom light turn on. We could both see my mom standing in my bedroom looking for me.

As I walked back home, I tried to think about the entire time Atlas has been in that house. Reading about the things my dad used to do to my mom kind of puts me in a bad mood. Reading about Atlas kind of puts me in a sad mood. I try to fall asleep and think about Ryle, but the whole situation with him kind of makes me mad and sad. I could use a friend —not to mention help—during these next few months.

Chapter Five Ryle was correct. It only took a few days for my ankle to feel good enough that I could walk on it again. I waited a full week before attempting to leave my apartment, though. The last thing I need is to reinjure it. Of course the first place I went was to my floral shop. Allysa was there when I arrived today, and to say I was shocked when I walked through the front doors is an understatement.

It looked like a totally different building than the one I bought. Everything else had been organized into piles. The windows had been washed, the floors had been mopped. She even had the area where I plan to put an office cleaned out.

It felt good to be back. I walk to the door and check the peephole before opening it. What is he doing here? I open the door and his immediate reaction confuses me. But now that he mentions it—how in the hell does he know where I live? Holy hell.

So much better than the onesie and way better than the Burberry. And for the record, I almost started with the third floor. I would have been here an hour ago if I went with my gut instinct. If you tell me what you want. He glances around, wearing his stupid hot scrubs, and puts his hands on his hips as he faces me. I have to be focused. At work, at home.

I inhale a calming breath. Are you kidding me right now? I open the door and motion for him to walk out. His eyes fall to my foot. I was able to help Allysa at the store for the first time today. But as soon as he reaches me, he spins toward me and slaps his palms against the door on either side of my head. I gasp at both his proximity and his persistence. I shake my head, even though my body is starting to trade sides and beg my mind to cave to him.

He pushes off the door and stands up straight. He half-turns, heading for the hallway, but then suddenly drops to his knees in front of me. He wraps his arms around my waist. I promise. I should be turned off by it, but I can hardly breathe when I look at him.

Especially when he has this suggestive smile on his face. If you give me a little while to shower first, I might feel sexy enough to have sex with you. Take all the time you need. He follows me to the bedroom and I tell him to wait on the bed for me.

Luckily, I cleaned my bedroom last night. My bed is even made up, complete with the ugly, quilted throw pillows my grandmother passed down to every person in our family. I make a quick glance around the room, just to make sure nothing embarrassing will catch his eye. He takes a seat on my bed and I watch as he scans the room. I stand in the doorway to my bathroom and try to give him one last out. I refuse to become one of the many girls you use to—how did you word it that night?

Satisfy your needs? We have nothing to worry about. The scrubs are my weakness. It has nothing to do with him. I shaved more parts of me than was probably necessary, and then spent a good twenty minutes having a freak-out, and had to talk myself out of opening the door and telling him to leave.

I can totally have a one-night stand. Not just a light—oh I just fell asleep—snore. I drop down onto the bed, not even caring if I wake him.

I just spent an entire hour getting ready for him after busting my ass today, and this is how he treats this night? Plus, my bed is really comfortable.

I should have warned him about that. I put the phone on silent and then lie down next to him. His phone is on the pillow next to his head, so I grab it and swipe up the camera option.

I hold his phone above us and make sure my cleavage looks good and pushed together. His fingers trail over my shoulder and stop at my collarbone, just before they reach my neck.

I have a small tattoo there that I got in college. I can feel his fingers circle around the tattoo, and then he leans forward and presses his lips against it. I squeeze my eyes shut even tighter. I moan a little, trying to wake up, and then roll onto my back so that I can look up at him. Am I right? He leans forward and presses his lips to my forehead, and I hate that he just did that. You have no idea. This is good.

Rip the Band-Aid off and let him leave. I wish you all the success in the world. You too, Lily. I listen as he puts his shoes on and then reaches for his phone. I squeeze my eyes shut until I hear the slam of the front door. My face immediately grows warm, and I refuse to allow myself to mope. I force myself off the bed.

I have work to do. Besides, I have my own life goals to worry about now. No time. Busy girl, here. I am a brave and bold businesswoman with zero fucks to give for men in scrubs.

I nod, and she flips the sign to Open and we both hug and squeal like little kids. We rush around the counter and wait for our first customer. I look around us, bursting with pride. I had a dream and I busted my ass to make it come true. Whatever happens after today is just icing on the cake.

Besides, Marshall will come in at some point today and my mother will come in after she gets off work. Allysa squeezes my arm when the front door begins to open.

I suddenly grow a little panicked, because what if something goes wrong? And then I do panic, because something just went wrong. Terribly wrong. My very first customer is none other than Ryle Kincaid. He stops when the door closes behind him and he looks around in awe. When he finally does reach us, Allysa runs around the counter and hugs him. She waves her hand in my direction.

All of it. I just helped with the dirty work. Her skills were half of what brought this vision to life. He walks to one of the displays and grabs a vase full of purple lilies. I smile, wondering if he realizes he just picked lilies. Kind of ironic. Hardly ever. I watch his reaction closely. Are you going, Lily? She looks at me and narrows her eyes.

Allysa rings up his total and he pays in cash. Of course I know that. He knows I know that. I almost encourage Allysa to give him a refund, but this is business. I have to leave my wounded pride out of it. Once he has his receipt in hand, he taps his fist on the counter to get my attention.

As soon as the door closes behind him, Allysa is grabbing for the envelope. She stares at it for a moment, repeating the phrase. What in the hell does that even mean?

What does it mean? It's because you can't be alive if you don't expand. Therefore, growth should ensure proper nutrition, otherwise you won't grow too well and that shows you have life if you grow. Define development in your own words. Translate the meaning of development in Filipino and in your local dialect.

It means in Filipino is paglalago, pag-unlad or in our dialect pag-uswag or pag lambo. State the 5 major principles of human development from a life- span perspective. Give at least one application of each principle in the teaching- learning process. What have these principles to do with you as you teach learners? As individuals move through life, they are faced with many challenges, opportunities, and situations that impact their development.

Remembering that development is a lifelong process helps us gain a wider perspective on the meaning and impact of each event. But these are not the only types of changes taking place; there are also cognitive changes, including the development of advanced cognitive faculties such as the ability to think abstractly. There are also emotional and social changes involving regulating emotions, interacting with peers, and possibly dating.

During childhood, individuals have difficulty effectively regulating their actions and impulsive behaviors. Scholars have noted that this lack of effective regulation often results in children engaging in behaviors without fully considering the consequences of their actions. As a teacher, you are a role model, you have the responsibilities to teach your learner and mold them to be a good and to be successful someday. Research further on the cephalocaudal and proximodistal patterns of development.

Illustrate both patterns by a drawing or diagram. It consists of development starting at the top of the body and working its way down, i. What this means is that the development of the head and brain tends to be more advanced in the sense that it occurs first than the rest of the body.

This pattern is largely complete by the beginning of adulthood, though of course other aspects of development continues throughout life.

It consists in the tendency for growth to start at the center of the body and work its way outward, toward the extremities. This is called the proximodistal pattern. Thus, the spine develops first in the uterus, followed by the extremities and finally the fingers and toes. How do you apply your knowledge of cephalocaudal and proximodistal patterns of development in your teaching? Hint: The pencils of pre-K, Kindergarteners and Grade 1pupulis are beginner than those of pupils in the higher Grade levels.

Does this practice have something to do with proximodistal patterns of development? Based on the example given above, in pre-K, Kindergarteners and grade 1 level are using pencil in terms of writing because in this stage pupils often make mistakes, so teacher use pencil for their pupils for them to erase and correct letters what they write.

These practices have something to do with proximodistal patterns of development. Interpret the following quotations in relation to human development: a. This quote only reminds us that you are not better than others, so as other not better than you. He is always in the process of becoming. From the time we were born, we did not stay the same, in fact we have changed and is continuously changing. This fact supports that we are truly an unfinished project, and we are always in the process of becoming.

In other words, since we are an unfinished project, every day is a day to complete ourselves and achieve the wholeness of us. We have proven already this one every time that we wake up in the morning and go to work or school or whatever endeavors we do. The things that we do every day are part of the process that we, and like an unfinished project should go through in order to become someone we wanted to be.

It sharpens their ability to think inside and outside the box and sharpens their ability to read between the lines.

This principle is evident with the combination of social, cognitive, and physical. Two approaches to human development. The traditional approach emphasizes extensive change from birth to adolescence, little or no change in adulthood, and decline in late old age. The life-span approach emphasizes developmental change during adulthood as well as childhood.

Abstract The traditional approach to the study of development emphasizes extensive change in childhood. This perspective which is known as the life span perspective, is chronicled in this article. Concept Approach Traditional Life-span Development during childhood The traditional approach Development change takes emphasizes extensive place as it does during change from birth to childhood adolescence, little or no change in adulthood, and Development during adulthood decline in late old age.

Development is lifelong. Development Development is plastic is contextual. Socioemo tional processes s. Cognitive Biological processess processess. In one sentence, write the principle on human development expressed in this Venn diagram. A Venn diagram also called a set diagram or logic diagram is a diagram that shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets. Typically overlapping shapes, usually circles, are used, and an area-proportional or scaled Venn diagram is one in which the area of the shape is proportional to the number of elements it contains.

These diagrams represent elements as points in the plane, and sets as regions inside curves. An element is in a set S just in case the corresponding point is in the region for S. They are thus a special case of Euler diagrams, which do not necessarily show all relations. Venn diagrams were conceived around by John Venn. They are used to teach elementary set theory, as well as illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science.

Discuss the meaning of the quotations written beneath the title of these Unit and Module. Relate the quotation to your life.

Research and read any research on human development. Give an abstract of the research by stating the:. If you put X, explain why. Development is a pattern of change.

Development is either growth or decline. From both traditional and life-span perspectives development is lifelong. In the development process, there are things that hold true to all people.

Individuals develop uniformly. Development is predictable because it follows an orderly process. Development is unidimensional. Development takes place in a vacuum. The effect of biological process on development is isolated from the effect of cognitive and socioemotional processes. I believe that human development over the life span is a process of becoming something different. Developmental changes in human takes place in three fundamental domains.

These domains are physical, cognitive, and emotional-social. A human body develop when, mind, spirit, and social relationships changes. Thus, this module will be focused on cognitive and social- emotional. I have also learned that personal development is a process by which a person reflect upon themselves, understand who they are, learn things to their fullest potential as human beings. Study the pictures and the descriptions below each set of pictures, then answer the following questions.

Do the pictures suggest the respective development stages? Symbolize each developmental stage. Give a symbol that stands for the developmental task for each stage. If you were given a chance, which developmental stage would you like to be in? Share your answers with your small group. We are physically complete, we can now learn to accept responsibility, actions and criticism.

Havighurst has six major age periods: 1. What is an outstanding trait or behaviour of each stage? In infancy to early stage they learn to eat solid foods, middle childhood learning of physical skills necessary for ordinary games, adulthood learning or achieving matured relations with both sexes, early adulthood learning to live with a partner, middle adulthood learning or achieving adult social and civic responsibility, later maturity learning in adjusting to deceasing strength and health,.

A developmental task is a task that arises at or about a certain period in life, unsuccessful achievement of which leads to inability to perform tasks associated with the next period or stage in life.

Does a developmental task in a higher level required accomplishment of the lower level developmental tasks? In development we start from the lower to higher level. Match the descriptions given Santrock. Are Havighurst and Santrock saying the same things? Answer this question with a learning partner. What are the implications of these developmental task to your role as a facilitator of learning?

Based initially on the study of flight characteristics of birds, Aquiline was envisioned as a long-range vehicle that could safely and stealthily provide a window into denied areas such as the Soviet Union through photography and other capabilities, and would even support in-place agent operations. While it never became operational, the concept proved invaluable as a forerunner to today's multi-capability UAVs.

This collection includes a broad sampling of articles from the National Intelligence Daily—the CIA's principal form of current intelligence analysis at the time—from February to March These articles represent much of the Agency's short-term analysis of events unfolding in Central and Eastern Europe as popular opposition to Soviet misrule erupted and quickly surpassed anything the Communist regimes were prepared to understand or to which they could respond.

The material also represents a major source of information and insight for US policymakers into what was happening in these countries, where the situation was heading, and how a collapse of Communist rule in Europe and the beginnings of the breakup of the Soviet Union would impact Europe and the United States.
