Teachers are engineers of human soul and they are supposed to be a happy occupation. But in fact, the occupational stress becomes greater and greater, the burnout becomes more serious and teachers’ happiness is losing. Promoting teachers' professional happiness is not only good for the development of teachers themselves and for the growth of students, but also for the good development of education. So, it is a hot topic to talk about how to promote teachers' professional happiness. From the heart, which means that make the teachers' professional happiness deeper and longer from the intrinsic origin. Building the proper professional ideology, right values and healthy lifestyles, which are good for teachers to know the occupation and relieve the stress, is an important way to promote teachers' intrinsic professional happiness.

This essay examines Socrates’ Palinode in the Phaedrus in order to understand why the experience of another person’s beauty plays such a central role in Plato’s account of moral development. I argue that the answer depends in part on his account of the human soul as having a nature in common with, but also falling short of, divine soul. This anthropology allows for a conception of moral progress as a matter of becoming more perfectly what one in some sense already is. The answer also depends on Plato’s conception of beauty as being, in general, the manifestation or appearing of goodness, and of human beauty in particular—both beauty of soul and beauty of body—as the splendid manifestation of godlikeness. When the lover is struck by the sight of the beloved’s beauty, he is therefore reminded of who he is and what he should aspire to become.

AbstractWe develop a figure of merit for SETI observations which is anexplicitfunction of the EIRP of the transmitters, which allows us to treat sky surveys and targeted searches on the same footing. For each EIRP, we calculate the product of terms measuring the number of stars within detection range, the range of frequencies searched, and the number of independent observations for each star. For a given set of SETI observations, the result is a graph of merit versus transmitter EIRP. We apply this technique to several completed and ongoing SETI programs. The results provide a quantitative confirmation of the expected qualitative difference between sky surveys and targeted searches: the Project Phoenix targeted search is good for finding transmitters in the 109to 1014W range, while the sky surveys do their best at higher powers. Current generation optical SETI is not yet competitive with microwave SETI.
