  Aliveness: Growth will often feel slow in the present moment (if it feels like growth at all...), but the fact that you have been breathing in this space is a sign of aliveness (even if it's small). Assemblage: Be patient with yourself as you assemble the parts of a new dream. It takes time to bring the parts together to create something beautiful. Attention: Let this be a space where you pay attention to the little things that sing to you: "After everything you have been through, it is not too late for you to breathe deep with courage and create something new." Attentiveness: Pay attention. Engage with life. As you observe the patterns and changes, don't forget to notice the good patterns, too. The small movements in the water, building into something larger than what you ever could have imagined. Authenticity: May there be room for you to be present to life in a way that allows you to breathe more freely...beyond the confines of who you thought you had to be. Awar...

Komodo Dragon

 


The Komodo dragon is a lizard in the family Varanidae, the monitor lizards. It is well known for being the largest living species of lizard. Lizards are reptiles in the order Squamata, which also includes snakes. Lizards are generally smaller than other reptiles, and the Komodo dragon is an example of this. Although it grows to an impressive size, it is still considerably smaller than the largest snakes and crocodiles.

As in other lizards, the Komodo dragon's skin is covered in scales. Most lizards have one or two forms of scales, but Komodo dragons have four. This makes their skin rough compared to that of some other reptiles, and so it is not valued as a source of leather. The Komodo dragon's coloration is generally brown to gray, sometimes interspersed with yellow.

The Komodo dragon has an acute sense of smell. Like snakes and many other lizards, it has a forked tongue, which it uses to smell as well as taste. Its main sense organ is located above the roof of the mouth and is called the vomeronasal organ or Jacobson's organ. This is present in all snakes and lizards as well as some mammals. Sticking the tongue out enables sensory information to be carried to this organ. If there is favorable wind, a Komodo dragon may be able to smell carrion as much as 6 miles (9.5 kilometers) away.

SOCIAL AND EQUALITY TO ALL

SOCIAL AND EQUALITY TO ALL
My main agenda is adopting a Gramscian theoretical framework, the five parts of this volume focus on the various ways in which the political is discursively and materially realized in its dialogic co-constructions within the media, the economy, culture and identity, affect, and education. We focus at examining the power instantiations of sociolinguistic and semiotic practices in society from a variety of critical perspectives, this blog focus at how applied political linguists globally is responding to, and challenge, current discourses of issues such as militarism, nationalism, Islamophobia, sexism, racism and the free market, and suggests future directions. No peace, no unity, no coexistence hence all becomes vanity...! It's why the world is oval.
