![]() For a glimpse (not exhaustive by any stretch) into the kind of facilitation techniques I’m talking about, then go here: This can be addressed with proper training. This may have something to do with the fact that teacher training is saturated in psychology and its accompanying jargon. When working with teachers I sometimes have to explain that ‘feel’ is not a synonym for ‘think’, as it is sometimes used in the classroom. I agree, there is a danger that philosophy is used as a ‘therapeutic talking shop’, but this is purely down to proper education and training about what philosophy is and how it works. If we really want the best education for children, then we should ditch classes on jargon and go back to teaching real subject matter - including sometimes difficult, philosophical subject matter.’ ‘The EEF report has been widely welcomed, but largely as a convenient shortcut away from serious teaching in favour of therapeutic talking shops. For more on this see my response to Tom Bennett ‘It’s (not?) what you know’. And what they need – as a minimum, in my view – is an understanding of what a conceptual discussion is and how to facilitate it. I have recommended that teachers be trained in what it is they need to be able to run good dialogues with their classes. A discussion around whether it’s right to bully people (where the teacher holds the view that it is wrong) probably won’t be, but a genuinely open discussion around what bullying is, that leads to conceptual progress in the children’s views as a result of this analysis (see the response to Tom Bennett ‘progess in philosophy’) is much more likely to be philosophical. Whether a discussion of bullying and fairness are philosophical is all in how it’s approached. I agree that many teachers don’t know enough about philosophy. Why was Humpy Dumpty on that wall? And a burning question for all young girls: Does kissing frogs work? These are potential philosophical sticklers, and can be addressed without the dumbed-down approach of P4C.’ Even in nursery rhymes there are challenging topics. Yet as we wait for a drive to recruit more actual philosophers into primary schools, which we should do, teachers can easily teach some of the history of philosophy in history, and some of the works of philosophy in literature. ‘The EEF report also said teachers don’t know enough about philosophy and aren’t confident enough to teach it. I don’t see much childish whining in my philosophy classes, because I always ask them to say ‘why?’ When someone complains about something without providing good reasons, that’s what I call ‘childish whining’. I agree, childish whining is not philosophy. ![]() ![]() ‘Childish whining is not philosophy reading books, even difficult ones, and then having proper classroom chats about them is.’ ![]() Why not start with the classical Greek philosophers? Teach your charges about Socrates and Plato and Aristotle! Let them rehearse the arguments of all the great philosophers.’ ‘The problem today is that children are being taught bits of philosophy, in their circle-time activities. By claiming that P4C might help all primary-school pupils - especially those on free school meals - to do better in other disciplines, the EEF report does a serious disservice to philosophy.’ ![]() ‘P4C is a popular method of exploring concepts such as fairness or bullying in small group discussions. ‘Surely the worst, most instrumental reason for doing philosophy is that it might improve your skills in other areas, like maths and reading, while also boosting ‘cognitive abilities’ and pupils’ self-esteem.’ (So that I don’t simply repeat myself, go here for my response to the issue of philosophy’s own value: Aeon, should children do philosophy? Also read my response to Tom Bennett’s, Philosophy. Dennis Hayes wrote in Spiked Online, ‘Philosophy for children’ isn’t real philosophy. ![]()

![]() ![]() Ideas, buildings and religion have all been reworked to suit the lands of Westeros and beyond, while nations have been replaced by Houses – minor, great and royal – along with Free Cities and clans. Martin’s fantasy world that Crusader Kings 2 is, but this is still a robust mod with a lot of flavour and mechanical tweaks. With its focus on nations and empires rather than dynastic intrigue, EU4 isn’t quite the perfect fit for George R. If you’d rather conquer the Seven Kingdoms than the Roman Empire, you’ll want to pick a House and jump into A Song of Ice and Fire. Along with grub, the mod also introduces slaves that can be taken from battles, but you can be less of a dick by abolishing it entirely. ![]() Provinces and armies all need food for development and consumption, while certain provinces with the food trade good produce it every summer, allowing it to either be exported or used to feed your hungry population. Imperium Universalis simulates this with a food system. In antiquity, people had to worry about this thing called food. At the moment, the team’s looking for a new addition to help with creating 3D unit models. You’ll also be able to watch the rise of Christianity, which sort of became a big deal. Though still in development, the mod already boasts hundreds of playable nations from antiquity, mechanics like Senate debates and historical events like that time Kirk Douglas kicked off a slave rebellion. But don’t worry if you don’t care about Cyrus the Great or Persian shenanigans, there’s also plenty of Roman Empire dick-swinging, as the name suggests. Imperium Universalis casts EU4 back through time to 559BC, to the founding of the Achaemenid Empire. Imperium UniversalisĮngine overhauls are grand, but they aren’t quite as sexy as conversions that change even the setting. Ruling over provinces also costs Governance Capacity, generated by the primary culture, but reforms can allow you to give more authority to other cultures, embracing diversity. Trying to conquer the world means dealing with a bloated empire where corruption is rife and people aren’t open to new ideas. It’s in governance where the mod makes some of its biggest changes, introducing wrinkles to managing huge empires and making them feel fundamentally different from tiny nations. ”In Common Universalis, every country can choose its own path to advance, every path has its problems, and every problem has its solutions.” “Common Universalis focuses on the engine – how all those stuffs work together, how the world evolves from 1444 to 1836 and how human and AI players make decisions,” explains creator Corpsemania. There’s barely a single facet of EU4 that this mod doesn’t affect, burrowing its way into religion, vassal control, diplomacy. Let’s jump straight into the deep end with Common Universalis. And while some mods have fallen by the wayside, there’s still a mountain of crackers to dig through.Īll mods are compatible with the most recent version of the game (1.21) unless stated otherwise.

In contrast, “Bottoms Up,” is a rowdy rocker, wasting no minutes getting into its mark of party-happy, in-your-face rock. Read Audio Ink Radio’s song review of “When We Stand Together,” here. Their new album, Dark Horse, is one of the most anticipated releases this year. With over 26 million albums sold worldwide they have made their mark in rock and roll history. Here and Now already packs two radio hits: the melodic, pop-flavored “When We Stand Together,” and hard rocker “Bottoms Up.” The pop single, “When We Stand Together,” shows the softer side of the rockers, as it strives to raise awareness about world poverty and war with a swelling, melodic chorus. Nickelback have established themselves as one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Chad Kroeger and company recorded the songs at Mountain View Studios, Vancouver, BC, and the album is Nickelback’s seventh studio record and their follow-up to 2008’s, Dark Horse , which went 3-times platinum, selling 3 million copies on the United States and 5 million copies worldwide.

![]() Since when this was aired over in the UK, the cover songs are gone and so are the Captain N parts but this show still great even without them. I really love these old type of "Spin Offs" you don't see anymore, Glad they still exist and glad people can relive their childhood, Like me and many others can. Honestly, I love rewatching these old shows and going back in time, I miss the NBC (Early 2000's) when they was airing this show and had Captain N And The Adventures Of Super Mario Bros 3 & Super Mario Mario World alongside Captain N which wasn't a bad idea. Just like Sonic Underground, This show didn't do too bad in making songs that is RELATED to the game in somewhat way. The other 2 Super Mario Bros Series was good, But this even made it better when you hear a song in every other episode which I think they was trying to make it Disney Friendly at the time of it's Production to compete with other Networks. The Super Mario Bros Super Show was widely acclaimed off of the Super Mario Bros Video Game as well. Too bad there wasn't more episodes more than 26, It should've been demanded ANOTHER Season. This widely popular Video Game Series became so popular, It's A TV Show! So glad to have witnessed this in the early 22000's. But, if you want to see how this series is without reading a review, then go right ahead and watch it. If you see this on television, turn your television off or change the channel. Overall, the series is not worth watching. Browser's little allies sound so annoying. Mario doesn't sound like what you would expect him to sound. The voice acting like I said before just sucks. So, to sum up this part of the review, it's pretty okay. ![]() Everyone just looks all unusual and the colors are dark compared to Billy and Mandy, which was made when we decided we didn't want to blind children with darkness. Let me begin with the animation and the appearance of Mario. Doesn't that just sound horrible? The series is CD-I quality. Imagine going home and saying, "I just did the voice acting for Browser!". The whole series is filled with cheesy music, annoying beeps and boops, and very horrible voice actors. Now, I just finished re-watching the first episode and I'm very disappointed. I'm pretty sure he stole them or something, but whatever. One can only wonder how the history of the Mario franchise and video games in general would have been different had Nintendo taken them up on the offer.Back when I lived in New Orleans, a man walking by my house approached my mom with a couple of DVDs that he was selling for $20.00.
