Teacher: Yes Raghu, You can use Santali word of paddy and repeat the whole sentence in the class.Raghu: [silent for a minute]Teacher: Raghu! You can do it. Try once.Raghu: Kuri gidro horo irre sanno kana [The woman is going to the field to cut paddy]Teacher: Tell it in English.Raghu: The woman is going to the field ... [mumbling] to cut paddy.Teacher: Excellent Raghu!
Evidence: Teacher prompts L1 (Santali) first; student produces a complete sentence, then moves into English (p. 8). Why it matters: Concrete example of confidence + transfer (CUP) enabled by translanguaging.

This model states that theknowledge in one language helps in acquiring other languages.
Key idea: CUP = knowledge gained in one language supports acquisition in another (p. 3). Why it matters: Explains why starting in L1 can strengthen academic English performance.

Surpassing the virtual communication now prevailing in cyberspace and fleshing out the actuality of the “global electronic village” requires relating to one another in terms of our holes. Only in the hollow part of me is there room to receive you as you actually are, rather than as you are projected by my ego.

- create balance to this energy, by meditating etc.

Most of the tourist and sporting infrastructure had to be built at enormous expense — estimates range anywhere from$200 billion to $300 billion. Yet the return on investment for huge events like this is rarely positive. The Olympics are infamously pricey to put on, and the economic benefits for residents of the host city are questionable. So, with the big price tag and not much to show in return, why do countries like Qatar, Russia and Brazil offer up billions of dollars to host global sporting events? According to Victor Matheson, a professor of economics at the College of the Holy Cross and a former Major League Soccer referee, they may be seeking to burnish their reputations through international media coverage. “If you’re putting any sort of significant money into infrastructure like Qatar obviously is doing, there’s just no way you can make that back on ticket sales, on media rights, [or] on the amount of money you make from tourists coming to visit your country,” Matheson said in an interview with Marketplace’s David Brancaccio. “So obviously, you’re hoping for some sort of long-run benefits, some sort of legacy, and often that is an improvement in your reputation, either as a tourist destination or as a world player in some ways.”
Alternate thesis for why countries and cities vie to host money-losing events like the World Cup and the Olympics: grift.
With the necessary need for building infrastructure, there's easy and ample opportunity for cooking the books and pushing cash flow into the pockets of contractors and political figures as well as into the pockets of the governing bodies and their officials.

Some of the money may go into the local economy and workers which is good, but who's really benefitting here? Where is the money going? Who is footing the loss? It can't all be written off to goodwill.

I have no doubt that the cup marks reflect memory locations. There is some recent research showing that they mark pathways. I need to get that report.
I'm also reasonably certain that cup marks reflect memory locations as well. Is there a way to prove it though?
The idea that there's research indicating they mark pathways sounds fascinating. I'd love to know the journal source for this.

Montreal was aghast. Campbell's rulingwas considered an act not of justice but of vindictiveness, theEnglish-speaking boss thwarting the aspirations of theFrench-speaking populist hero. Richard had led the Canadiens tothree Stanley Cups and had scored 50 goals in 50 games, but hehad never won a scoring title and was on the brink of his first.With teammate Bernie Geoffrion three points behind him, it wasapparent that Richard wouldn't win it this year, either.
That is so frustrating. Suspend him for his last three games? So petty. Could have just fined him if he was going to make a statement like that.
