Emotional interaction is a key aspect of furniture design. It focuses on changing the way of interaction between human and furniture, from one-way information transmission to two-way information transmission. So users can get more fun and pleasure in home life. The concept of emotional interaction is analyzed, and then its application to furniture design and the development trends are explained.

Subject. We analyze development trends in iPhone by reviewing the way their key technological and economic indicators change. Objectives. We trace patterns and trends in technological and economic indicators of iPhone, correlations of the indicators, and the dependence of the price and SAR on technological indicators. Methods. Following our methodology, we study and model indicators of smartphones. Results. We traced and determined the correlation of technological and economic indicators of iPhone. The article demonstrates how the price and SAR mainly depend on technological indicators of smartphones. Conclusions and Relevance. As the findings show, as the above smartphone gets more technologically sophisticated, i.e. the price and SAR increase, we can expect higher risks for the man and the environment, though the mobile device development trends may still persevere. As seen from the analysis, SAR increases as smartphones have more cores and processor frequency, operation memory, which basically entails higher prices. In the mean time, the above indicators lower as the smartphone dimensions grow (screen diagonal, weight, battery capacity).

This journal’s editorial statement is clear that political discourse should be studied not only as regards parliamentary type politics. In this introduction we argue precisely for the need to pay increasing attention to the way that political ideologies are infused into culture more widely, in entertainments media, software, administrative processes, children’s apps, healthcare and even office furniture design. We point to the way that there have been massive shifts away from traditional state forms of politics to the rule of neoliberalism and the power of the corporation which, like the former regime of power, requires meanings and identities which can hold them in place. We explain the processes by which critical multimodal discourse analysis can best draw out this ideology as it is realized through different semiotics resources.

• “You want my honest opinion?” • “I’m just being honest.” • “I’m going to be brutally honest with you.” For many of us, hearing these words causes us to brace for mean- spirited “feedback.” And when we are the one “being honest,” we may believe we have unfettered permission to hurt, harm, or embarrass . . . all under the guise of honesty. Too often, the speaker uses “I’m just being honest” to excuse himself or herself from a kind or tempered commentary. Think of the categories toward which this kind of brutal honesty is aimed: appearance, skills, integrity, home life, family members, level of education, and so on. What is honesty, anyway, and why do we use it to say and do harsh and hurtful things? Why do we give ourselves permission to be impolite and to degrade someone under the banner of “being honest”? The etymology of the word “honesty” may surprise you. In previous centuries, the original meaning had the same root as the word “honor”: good manners, elegance, decency. Imagine how our verbal interactions might change if our honesty became honorable action. Imagine how our vitality in schools may change when we aspire to interact with decency and good manners, to be honest with students as well as staff. Imagine how we might explain and demonstrate honor and honesty throughout our students’ time with us. • Rather than speak with unconstrained freedom to hurt and hinder, we would display honesty with honorable actions and elegant intent. • Rather than equate honesty with “truth” (whose truth?), we would use honesty as the opportunity to behave with decency and good manners. When we adopt such noble attitudes and behaviors, we feel vibrant. Our energy changes. Our sense of being both peaceful and powerful is clear. We know we are on rich, solid ground. Behaving the way we choose, rather than the way that feels most natural, is foundational to our own leadership, matu­rity, and ability to help our students grow and develop . . . . Perhaps we are closer to being honest with ourselves and others when we act the way we know is best for the situation and act the way we want to be rather than acting according to habit and what feels natural.

This paper focuses on the fact that the common sense assumption underlying everyday life in a Home for the Aged is the antithesis of the common sense assumption operating in most normal social life, on the outside. The implications of this fact are infinite and ironic. In essence, the Home is oriented toward the least competent. Although typically one tends to think of the advantages of being competent, a significant structural feature of Home life is the way in which being a competent member can work against inmates, as such behavior is, in a very real sense inappropriate, atypical and unprepared for. The following material is based on two years participant observation research in a Home for the Aged in Ontario, Canada.

The article studies the theoretical bases, origin and key development trends of EAP/ESP as a separate discipline. The research includes numerous and various modern approaches. Albeit there is disagreement and discrepancy among scholars, the definitions put forward in their theories show the way ESP/EAP have developed since they were first spoken of at the initial stage of their formation. The research shows that to equip learners with appropriate knowledge to be able to perform effectively in the target community it is always important to employ the content-relevant approach and take the target situation into consideration.

Poetry pedagogy is a postmodern educational revival that tends to utilize this genre in promoting the standard of education in many countries including USA, UK, Canada and Ireland. It emphasizes retrieving the role that poetry played, in line with other genres of literature, in keeping nations' traditions and history alongside with its role in developing students' informative capacities due to the pleasure it fosters in listeners and readers mixed with zealous feeling for better production and immediate and permanent reaction as far as its ascendency on all senses is concerned. The present study explores the role of poetry in the above domain and demonstrates its ability in bypassing intellectual rigidity, idleness and the robotizing of the students that afflicted educational systems all over the world. It highlights that poetry is a double- edged sword in establishing a strong linguistic foundation, and its brevity appropriates people's occupations as far as intensity and abundance of meaning are concerned. The study also shows the role of poetry in deepening thinking and transforming it from extrinsic to intrinsic as well as promoting the standard of language in students concerning structure and vocabulary. In addition, texts of different themes indicate that the emotional interaction with poetry can repel monotony and consolidate interest and intensification. Moreover, the accompanying sense of enjoyment is not yet complete and satisfactory unless the covenant is consolidated by a sufficient teacher. Therefore, the present study describes the successful teacher intended to teach poetry and the way with which he tackles this activity.

Histories of the rising popularity of Danish modern furniture in both Denmark and the United States have traditionally ascribed its success to the inherent beauty of Danish design. This article argues that Danish modern furniture succeeded for two other reasons. First, through the creation of powerful narratives, or stories, that framed the way consumers made sense of this furniture; and, second, through the calculated development of a network of individuals and organizations whose goal was to promote and legitimize these narratives.
