Title: 13 Reasons Why People Don't Listen To You Headings: 13 Reasons Why People Don’t Listen To You 1. You’re Not Listening To Them 2. You Don’t Really Want To Be Heard 3. You’re Not Sure What You’re Trying To Say 4. You’re Not Speaking Clearly 5. It’s Not Relevant 6. You’re Repeating Yourself You may also like (article continues below): 7.

You’re Turning Into A Gossip 13. You’re Ill-informed Content: Perhaps it’s something you’re doing in a specific conversation that caused the other person to stop listening. Either way, make sure your communication involves talking and listening. Respond to what the other person is saying and they’ll be more likely to get, and stay, involved. Make the conversation mutually beneficial and engage them. 2. You Don’t Really Want To Be Heard We often think that we want to have a conversation and then get frustrated when people don’t pay us enough attention. However, we need to learn to reflect back on ourselves and the way we present what we’re saying. It could be that you’re actually shying away from projecting your opinion, and are speaking too quietly or covering your mouth. Sometimes, we get anxious about speaking in public and tell ourselves that people aren’t listening to us. Instead, we ought to acknowledge that we’re not great at communicating in some situations.

This is perfectly natural and just takes some time and practice to get over. Try to force yourself into situations where you need to talk to other people and your confidence will soon grow. Soon, people will be keen to hear what you have to say because you’re keen to say it! If you’re invested in what you’re saying, people will want to know why – and they’ll start paying attention. 3.

A person who experiences emotional dysregulation may act rashly or impulsively, display unnecessary aggression, or have emotional reactions that are not in line with what they are experiencing. Emotional dysregulation is often a driving force behind self-destructive behaviors. It can result from brain injuries, early childhood trauma like neglect and abuse, or a variety of psychiatric disorders and mental illnesses. People with emotional dysregulation may feel emotions with greater intensity or clarity. They may be a highly-sensitive or exceptionally emotional person. It’s not necessarily negative.

Title: Acoustic Neuroma brain tumour (AN) and Interest Group (IGAN) Headings: Brain tumor Acoustic Neuroma Brain tumor Acoustic Neuroma Acoustic Neuroma brain tumour (AN) and Interest Group (IGAN) What is an acoustic neuroma? (Acoustic Neuroma Interest Group), IGAN Acoustic Neuroma Forum Acoustic neuroma (AN) brain tumours Acoustic neuroma symptoms Acoustic neuroma diagnosis Acoustic neuroma treatment Acoustic neuroma rehabilitation AN and IGAN latest news Links - studies - info on acoustic neuroma topics Content: These pages should be read first, as they provide basic knowledge which is helpful for all further contacts and activities. Acoustic neuroma (AN) brain tumours An acoustic neuroma is a brain tumour that doesn't form any metastases. Because an acoustic neuroma begins to grow on the nerve walls of the inner ear (the Schwann sections) and it grows in the cerebellopontine angle in the direction of the brain stem at the base of the skull, it is also called a vestibular schwannoma or cerebellopontine angle tumour. The acoustic neuroma is the most common skull based brain tumour. More about the development and formation of acoustic neuromas Acoustic neuroma symptoms Acoustic neuromas mostly grow very slowly and as such often symptoms appear very late: progressive hearing loss, acute hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, unsteady walking, head and neck pains, in later stages there can also be an appearance of facial palsy (facial paralysis) or painful trigeminal neuralgia. The fact that these symptoms are also present for a range of other illnesses means that acoustic neuromas are suspected of being the cause too seldom and too late. More about symptoms of acoustic neuroma Acoustic neuroma diagnosis The abovementioned symptoms can be detected through various hearing tests (audiometry), brain wave measurements and balance tests, without these necessarily being indicative of an acoustic neuroma. An imaging Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRT) should definitely be carried out if there is simultaneous occurrence of a number of symptoms. It is the only diagnosis method that immediately delivers in detecting acoustic neuromas.

Title: How Does Technology Impact Politics? | Acquia Headings: How Does Technology Impact Politics? How Does Technology Impact Politics? We’re going to take a deep dive into three major ways technology impacts the political landscape. Technology as a Tool for Political Actors Technology as a Political Topic and Campaign Platform Technology as a Tool for the Public Technology as a Double-Edged Sword Politics and Open Source Conclusion Josh Anderson Content: How Does Technology Impact Politics? | Acquia Blog How Does Technology Impact Politics? We’re going to take a deep dive into three major ways technology impacts the political landscape. Posted by Josh Anderson on 06/25/2019 There are a lot of hot button political topics out there. However, some are so deeply rooted in political discourse that they not only manifest as a hot topic on the campaign trail, but impact the machinations behind the scenes, and even the way that we, as private citizens, view politics and consume political information. Technology plays a major role in shaping the political landscape. In this blog post, we’re going to take a deep dive into three major ways technology influences politics– as a tool for political actors on the campaign trail, as an often divisive political topic and as a potential landmine that can upend political aspirations. Technology as a Tool for Political Actors Perhaps the most obvious way that technology impacts politics is as a tool for political actors such as politicians, governments and other organizations to better identify, engage with and rally members of the public to their cause, as well as broadcast political messaging. We see this in action every time we watch a campaign commercial on TV, see a political ad on Facebook or receive a flyer in the mail. Two of the most powerful methods for using technology as a tool include data collection and the use of digital media.

We’re going to take a deep dive into three major ways technology impacts the political landscape. Technology as a Tool for Political Actors Technology as a Political Topic and Campaign Platform Technology as a Tool for the Public Technology as a Double-Edged Sword Politics and Open Source Conclusion Josh Anderson Content: Facebook and Vine videos of protests and police brutality went viral and were broadcast on global media outlets, such as CNN and BBC. Another way that technology impacts politics for the better is through a more controversial, but nonetheless effective, method: exposing unethical or illegal behavior. For example, the “trail” that digital media leaves behind led to the downfall of Anthony Weiner, once a shining star in the Democratic Party, who was engaging in inappropriate behavior on Snapchat with a minor. Technology as a Double-Edged Sword As any IT manager knows, the same advancements in technology that allow us to work and play in ways like never before also allow nefarious actors to cause disruption or harm like never before. While some hackers spend countless hours trying to access personal or financial information, many are dedicated to disrupting the political world. These efforts often go beyond simple hacking for the sake of hacking. For example, the hacktivist organization Anonymous is dedicated to exposing sensitive political and governmental information to the benefit of the public. Along similar lines, but with a more mission-focused bent, is the advent of “fake news,” a term coined during the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. Fake news is media written and published usually with the intent to mislead, in order to damage an entity or person, or to gain financially or politically.

Vehicle exhaust is full of extremely tiny toxic particles. During poor venting days, especially in the summer, you can see this pollution as a dense brown haze. Forty percent of the PM in that haze is from vehicles. In Port Alberni, as in many communities, emissions from trucks and cars are the largest contributor, by far, to toxic nitrous oxide pollution. They are also significant contributors to hazardous air pollutants and carcinogens such as benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, 1,3 butadiene, and diesel particulate matter. Exhaust is a complex cocktail of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides, nitrous oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To make matter worse, when it's warm and sunny, the NOx and VOCs react chemically making ground level ozone, yet another damaging toxin.

Title: POS - Political Opportunity Structure | AcronymFinder Headings: What does POS stand for? What does POS stand for? POS stands for Political Opportunity Structure Samples in periodicals archive: Content: the confluence of an active grassroots rank-and-file insurgency, the women's movement in the local region, and civil rights activism that supported the emergence of multiracial gender solidarity within the Caucus. Resource based mobilization theories, political opportunity structure theories emphasizing institutions' importance in shaping political demands and policies, and ideological theories stressing the significance of accepted ideas regarding government's role in public policy creation are examined. Necessary topics addressed include new social movements, political opportunity structures, institutionalization of the environmental movement and the recent resurgence of grass roots environmentalism. The political opportunity structure approach (5) is an important analytical concept in social movement research. Tarrow (1995: 18) describes the political opportunity structure as the `consistent -- but not necessarily formal, permanent or national -- dimensions of the political environment which either encourage or discourage people from using collective action'.

Title: Listening Skills for Teachers, How to Listen, How to Communicate Headings: You may also be interested in.... Working with People Learning - Tips for Successful Study Certificate in Teaching Content: Even making small remarks such as “Ah ha” during the message conveys a real interest in what the other person is saying. Obstacles to Listening It is important to be aware of the obstacles to listening in the classroom. You should be aware that all the people in the classroom, including yourself, are filtering and interpreting every word through a personal screen of attitudes, values, assumptions, judgements, past experiences and strong feelings. Be aware too that listening behaviour will be influenced by factors such as age, sex, cultural background and even physical appearance and mannerisms. In some cases you, as the teacher, will simply need to make allowances for poor listening in others, and take positive action to remedy the situation. Anxiety and Distraction Listening, like learning, is difficult in an atmosphere of anxiety, tension or boredom. At some stage, all students will feel some degree of anxiety, and for some it can be a disabling experience, preventing them from listening, learning and participating in the classroom. The student’s anxiety may be social, caused by fear of other students or of the teacher or it may be caused by a fear of academic failure. It is important to identify the cause/s of the anxiety which will help the student to relax and listen. Teachers should also be aware that all students learn in different ways, some being extroverted and outgoing while others choose not to participate actively in group discussions or role plays.

Title: Listening Skills for Teachers, How to Listen, How to Communicate Headings: You may also be interested in.... Working with People Learning - Tips for Successful Study Certificate in Teaching Content: Anxiety and Distraction Listening, like learning, is difficult in an atmosphere of anxiety, tension or boredom. At some stage, all students will feel some degree of anxiety, and for some it can be a disabling experience, preventing them from listening, learning and participating in the classroom. The student’s anxiety may be social, caused by fear of other students or of the teacher or it may be caused by a fear of academic failure. It is important to identify the cause/s of the anxiety which will help the student to relax and listen. Teachers should also be aware that all students learn in different ways, some being extroverted and outgoing while others choose not to participate actively in group discussions or role plays. Both learning styles indicate that students learn in their own preferable unique way. Boredom and the need to seek distraction are also typical impediments affecting good listening in the classroom. It is easy to blame the student for their lack of interest, but you should also evaluate your teaching strategies, classroom environment, size of the group, cultural mix of the participants, age of the students, life experiences of individual people, and goals of each person when asking yourself questions about why listening is not naturally occurring. Bias As a direct result of our own life stories and experiences, we all have basic convictions, attitudes and beliefs, and are prejudiced in various ways, which can cause the listening process to break down. Empathy and presenting facts in a fair and unbiased way will help to regain your students’ interest and keep the lesson focussed in the right direction.

Title: Listening Skills for Teachers, How to Listen, How to Communicate Headings: You may also be interested in.... Working with People Learning - Tips for Successful Study Certificate in Teaching Content: Another way of looking at it is by “putting yourself in another person’s shoes”. A person displays empathy by sharing the emotion and feeling of the other person at the time. People are more able to empathise with others if they have personally experienced a similar emotion or feeling to the other person. In the classroom, it is not always easy to empathise with your students’ viewpoint. Personality clashes, character differences, the status gap between teacher and students, and age/sex/cultural differences are just some of the obstacles to empathic listening and communication between the teacher and students. Despite this, genuine communication between teacher and student can only occur by showing a willingness to try to understand the students’ feelings. Empathic listening in the classroom: Reduces tension and hostility between teacher and student Promotes honest communication and builds trust and confidence Gives the teacher time to clarify his/her thinking Enhances the students’ self respect and natural friendliness towards the teacher Keeps communication alive and active Some of the ways teachers can convey the genuine desire to understand are: Be attentive, alert and not easily distracted. Create a positive atmosphere with your non verbal behaviour - your body language and facial expressions.

By contrast, the summer months of June, July, and August recorded 7,298; 7,157; and 7,158 average daily deaths, respectively. The other months had daily averages somewhere in between those extremes, but it is notable that the relatively cooler spring and fall also exhibited a greater number of deaths than the summer. What Can We Conclude from This Data? It's tough to draw any conclusions from this data alone. So, we will need to rely upon some outside information. In general, we can draw three conclusions: 1) Summer heat waves are deadly, but winter is deadlier.

The function of the narwhal tusk as been a matter of some debate, but recent research has shown it to be related to mating activity. Many males have been found with broken tusks, and one male has been found with a tusk tip embedded in its skull. Narwhals have been seen with their tusks crossed, as if in a fencing match. Recent observations seem to support the theory that the tusk is used as a weapon by the males in battles over possession of females. This evidence, combined with data indicating a rapid growth of the tusk at sexual maturity in males, suggests a possible breeding function. Natural History The narwhal is a deep-water cetacean, and has been known to dive to 1,200 feet. It has up to 4" of blubber under its skin, which is needed for protection in the cold arctic waters. Becoming trapped in forming ice is not uncommon; in Greenland such an entrapment is called a "savssat".

Becoming trapped in forming ice is not uncommon; in Greenland such an entrapment is called a "savssat". The most sever savssat occurred in the winter of 1914-1915, when over 1,000 narwhals died in an entrapment. Other sources of danger include attacks by orcas (killer whales) and, rarely, walruses, and polar bears. Status Humans have valued the narwhal's tusk for many years. It is probably the origin of the myth of the unicorn, but the tusk and the narwhal were first associated in 1648 when Tulpius examined a stranded specimen in the British Isles. Through the Middle Ages the tusk was sold to cure epilepsy, strengthen the heart, induce perspiration, and buffer poison.

Title: Sea level rise: causes and consequences Headings: Sea level rise: causes and consequences Sea level rise: causes and consequences Sea level rise: main causes Sea level rise: main consequences Content: Sea level is rising faster than 50 years ago and is likely to worsen in the future." What does this mean? By the end of this century the water could have invaded almost a meter on the mainland (up to 0.9 meters is the United Nations forecast). Sea level rise: main causes To find the source of this threat it is necessary to focus on global warming caused by climate change, which causes sea level rise in three different ways: The first is the thermal expansion: water, when heated by temperature rise, tends to expand, ie, oceans take up more space. In addition, the melting of the iced territories of Greenland and West Antarctica accelerates global warming. This process is negatively influenced by freshwater seepage from the surface, which acts as a lubricant for the ice streams and helps them to slide faster. That is, fresh filtered water to the base of the ice sheets melt, weaken and slide them into the sea.

The flooding of wetlands and pollution of aquifers also occur, affecting the flora and fauna of each place, causing the loss of habitat for fish, birds, plants and many other species. On the other hand, a higher sea level causes heavy rains and strong winds, unleashes severe storms and other big atmospheric phenomena that can be a real threat to places that might be on its way. On the social aspect, the constant threat of sea level rise menaces hundreds of millions of people living in coastal communities. If water continues to rise, they will be forced to abandon their homes and move to another area, with the corresponding demographic problem.

Using a process of cell division known as meiosis, sporophytes produce sex cells that are haploid. Haploid cells contain half the usual number of chromosomes. These haploid sex cells develop into haploid individuals called gametophytes. Plants in this generation grow and produce sex cells using a system of cell division known as mitosis, in which cells divide into exact copies of themselves. When a male reproductive cell ( sperm) produced by a gametophyte fuses with a female reproductive cell ( egg) produced by a gametophyte of the same species, the result is a diploid cell called a zygote. This zygote develops and grows via mitosis into a sporophyte, thereby completing the plant’s life cycle. Moss (Leucolepis acanthoneuron) in its gametophyte phase (the dominant phase in the life cycle of bryophytes). One Generation Reduced In Size In many plant groups, the members of one generation are reduced in size (often to just a few cells) and, rather than growing independently, develop inside the bodies of members of the other generation. For example, the gametophytes of angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms (plants such as conifers) are much reduced in size, comprising of just a few cells.

Self-Fertilization Many species of plants produce individuals with both male and female parts. This can result in self-fertilization, which occurs when a plant’s sperm fertilizes its own eggs. Self-fertilization has several advantages, not least because it can be accomplished without the need for a mate, allowing for faster and more reliable reproduction. The disadvantage of self-fertilization is that it results in limited genetic diversity. A species that is over-reliant on self-fertilization is less able to adapt to changes in its environment and is therefore more at risk of extinction. For this reason, many plant species have evolved means of reducing the likelihood of self-fertilization. These may include:

OR CALL 800-227-2214 Content: Lawns that have a lot of worms, grubs, and beetle larvae are good hunting ground for moles. Moles prefer soil that is shaded, cool, and moist because of plentiful worms and grubs and easy digging. Moles typically make their home burrows in high, dry spots often under large trees, buildings or sidewalks. Voles are attracted to landscaping with long grass, lots of ground cover and heavily mulched planting beds. Grass or crops that are left long in the fall and then covered by snow can also attract voles. Voles very rarely enter buildings, but may end up inside a building by accident. WHAT DO MOLES AND VOLES EAT? Moles are technically insectivores; not rodents. Moles feed primarily on earthworms and white grubs, but will also eat millipedes, centipedes, beetles, spiders, and other insects that venture into their underground tunnels.

As the moles tunnel underground they uproot the soil and expose roots of trees, shrubs, plants and grass. Moles eat from 70% to 100% of their weight each day. This is because they burn so much energy digging. Voles like to nibble on the bark of fruit trees, ornamental plants, and plants in vegetable gardens. They usually eat grasses and weeds, but they also relish insects like gypsy moths, snails, and the remains of dead animals.

Title: The Impact of Social Media on Society | The Ad Council Headings: Social Media's Impact on Society Mental Health Extremism & Hate So, What Does This Mean for Marketers? Content: The Impact of Social Media on Society | The Ad Council Learn With Us > AdLibbing Articles > Good in Action Social Media's Impact on Society AdLibbing August 4, 2019 Good in Action Social media is an undeniable force in modern society. From giving us new ways to come together and stay connected to the world around us, to providing an outlet for expression, social media has fundamentally changed the way we initiate, build and maintain our relationships. But while it feels like social media has become commonplace in our daily lives, the reality is that social media, as a technology, is still in its infancy. We still have so much more left to learn about the intricacies of the algorithms and design, especially when it comes to their impact on society. Read on to see what’s on marketers’ minds when it comes to the impact of social media: Mental Health You’ve likely heard at least something about the negative impacts that social media can have on mental health. Recently, experts are weighing in on the role that the design and build of social media platforms plays in exasperating these concerns. For example, at SXSW 2019, Aza Raskin, co-founder of the Center for Human Technology, spoke on a panel about the “digital loneliness epidemic,” which focused on the global rise in depression and loneliness as it correlates to social media use. In that discussion, Raskin spoke about the “infinite scroll” or the design principle that enables users to continuously scroll through their feeds, without ever having to decide whether to keep going. It’s hard to imagine what the bottom of an Instagram feed would look like, so we certainly can’t envision what it would be like to have to choose “next page” if we were to get there.

That was an intentional decision made by the designers of these platforms because at its core, it’s good design. But the dilemma we’re now facing, in the wake of momentous mental health concerns that are being linked to social media, is whether good design is humane design. And more importantly, what do we do when it isn’t? Extremism & Hate Another trend on experts’ minds is how the algorithms behind these massively influential social media platforms may contribute to the rise of extremism and hate online. For example, YouTube has faced its fair share of backlash lately, with concerns over how quickly its algorithm leads viewers to increasingly fringe content.

Title: The Impact of Social Media on Society | The Ad Council Headings: Social Media's Impact on Society Mental Health Extremism & Hate So, What Does This Mean for Marketers? Content: Similarly, Facebook has been a hot topic of conversation in the space, especially when it comes to the influence that closed Facebook groups have in allowing extreme communities to form and build power, in a relatively unmoderated way, online. However, organizations, brands and social media users are working together to fix some of the functionalities that have the potential to result in dangerous outcomes – and it seems to be working. Facebook, for example, recently announced that it will be banning white nationalism and separatism content from its platforms. So, What Does This Mean for Marketers? Nearly 40% of the world’s population uses social media daily, and that number is only expected to grow. Potential negative impacts aside, social media is, and will remain, a crucial way for marketers to reach their audiences. Each scroll, video view, like, comment or share, teaches us something new about the impact of social media platforms and the way in which they’re built. It’s important for platforms to take those learnings to heart and use their sphere of influence to better our society. But until we find a way to curb some of the negative impacts of these platforms, from a technological perspective, it’s up to all of us to take a bit of the responsibility. It’s increasingly important that we focus on imagining, designing and utilizing content and technologies that are socially responsible.

How Social Media Affects the Brain Get Help During COVID-19 Recognizing a Social Media Addiction Social Media and Mental Health At-Risk Youth Find Treatment Today Jena Hilliard Theresa Parisi Bad habits holding you back? Change your lifestyle today Content: While social media platforms have their benefits, using them too frequently can make people feel increasingly unhappy and isolated. These negative emotional reactions are not only produced due to the social pressure of sharing things with others, but also the comparison of material things and lifestyles that these sites promote. On Instagram and Facebook, users see curated content – advertisements and posts that are specifically designed to appeal to you based on your interests. While scrolling through this curated content, people may see a post by an individual that has a great job, excellent partner, or beautiful home and feel happy or inspired by this person. Others, however, may see these pictures and feel jealous, depressed, or even feel suicidal due to the fact that their own life is not as “perfect” as those that they see on Facebook or Instagram. Recent studies have found that frequent social network users believe that other users are happier and more successful than they are, especially when they do not know them very well in real life. Social media facilitates an environment in which people are comparing their realistic offline selves to the flawless, filtered, and edited online versions of others, which can be detrimental to mental well-being and perception of self. Excessive social media use can not only cause unhappiness and a general dissatisfaction with life in users, but also increase the risk of developing mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Constantly comparing oneself to others can lead to feelings of self-consciousness or a need for perfectionism and order, which often manifests itself into social anxiety disorder. Another aspect of social anxiety triggered by online media use is the fear of missing out (FOMO);

Psychologist? Therapist? Someone Else? How to Find the Best ADHD Treatment Professional The treatment landscape for ADHD is shifting rapidly. No longer are we relying exclusively on primary care physicians and family doctors. Adults and children today may also benefit from working with a psychologist, counselor, nurse practitioner, neurologist, and/or one of the other treatment professionals described in depth here. Making Sense of ADHD Professionals Family Doctor or Primary Care Physician (PCP) Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician Psychiatrist Psychopharmacologist Psychologist Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) Neurologist Neuropsychologist Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse (PMHN) Psychiatric Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) Nurse Practitioners and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Occupational Therapist (OT) ADHD Coach Content: PCPs are able to diagnose ADHD and prescribe medication, however their time and detailed knowledge of ADHD may be limited. While PCPs receive some general training on ADHD and other mental health conditions during medical school, many offer only basic care — primarily medication management. Many refer their patients to specialists for more advanced ADHD treatment. At the same time, it is true that some primary care doctors have elected to take additional courses on ADHD and other mental health conditions, and are comfortable identifying symptoms and setting up a well-rounded treatment plan. Ask your PCP about her experience with ADHD, and don’t hesitate to ask for a referral if her knowledge of the subject appears incomplete. Visits to primary care doctors are covered by insurance. Mother and child with doctor 3 of 15 Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician A pediatrician who believes your child has developmental challenges will likely refer you to a developmental and behavioral pediatrician. Like PCPs, developmental and behavioral pediatricians are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. This doctor, however, has additional training in learning disabilities, developmental disorders, and other behavioral challenges, and may provide a more specialized evaluation, counseling, and treatment plan than your family doctor can.

The human brain is always dealing with a constant stream of information influx. The constant and easy access to the stored information on the internet is atrophying memories of the people. As a result, human’s natural ability to ponder, create and reason is damaging. The inactive lifestyle eventually impacts the activity of human brain in a negative manner and hence, intelligence, memory, IQ and other mind abilities suffer.

Contents hide The internet Affecting our Brainpower Is the fact “internet affects our mind” true? “Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words,” he wrote. “Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.” Conclusion: How is Internet Changes the Way We Think? Content: All the same, this habit of surface reading and quick absorption of limited knowledge clogs the mind and its own innate power to create and think. Hence, the healthy practices of research and reading are taking back seat slowly whereas, short term memory of superficial intelligence is prevalent among the masses. An unhealthy and physically compromised body eventually makes a slow, sloppy and inactive brain. Hence, the internet not only hampers one’s fitness but also the mental power and therefore, proves to be true. Prevailing dependency on technology: Whereas the access to unlimited information and knowledge at a distance of a single click is useful at one hand, on the other hand, it’s also pretty alarming to realize the fact that this practice is crippling in real and promotes the need to be dependent on an outside source. People are relying on what is already available and do not put any effort to create, research, read and come up with something original of their own. The sluggish

Title: How Should I Talk about Race in My Mostly White Classroom? Headings: How Should I Talk about Race in My Mostly White Classroom? How Should I Talk about Race in My Mostly White Classroom? 1. Set up group guidelines. 2. Help students accept discomfort and uncertainty. 3. Clarify that the goal is not to be “colorblind.” 4. Acknowledge that learning about race and racism is a process. 5. Provide opportunities to learn about others and foster empathy. 6. Address white privilege in non-defensive ways. 7. Connect to ally behavior and engage in social justice. Content: This is particularly true if you have a predominantly white school and you are talking about race. Use children's books, short videos, movies, literature, stories by teens, or arrange for a video chat to expose students to other voices on race as this fifth grade teacher did. As the goal is to dispel stereotypes—not perpetuate them—be sure to review these resources in advance. Exposing white students to people who represent different racial groups can also build empathy as they learn and better understand others’ lives, experiences, perspectives and feelings. 6. Address white privilege in non-defensive ways. The term “white privilege” is one that often produces anxiety and defensiveness among white people, including students. At the same time, if students are going to engage in conversations about race, privilege has to be on the table. The goal of a discussion about white privilege is not to make anyone feel guilty for who they are or defensive about their lot in life. The goal should be to help students understand and analyze issues of power and privilege as they relate to racism.

Explain that bias can impact people in two ways: by discriminating against some or advantaging others, depending on race or other aspects of identity. Define white privilege as: “ unearned and often unseen or unrecognized advantages, benefits or rights conferred upon people based on their membership in a dominant group (e.g. white people, heterosexual people, men, able-bodied, etc.)

These can include things like not being allowed to do certain things they think they should be allowed to do; assumptions adults make about them; or discriminatory acts that target them.

This discussion will help them understand the concept of privilege without getting defensive and will help to foster empathy. You can then make the connection to white privilege and since you’ve set the groundwork, hopefully the leap to white privilege isn’t too far a reach for them. It will be important to identify dominant identities (i.e. being white) because students may not accept that they have white privilege by saying they belong to another marginalized group (“but I’m gay, poor, female”). While that may be true, it doesn’t erase their white identity.

As your students discuss race, some of them may be interested in addressing the racism they have learned about, both in their interpersonal relationships and in society. Helping your students understand what it means to act as an ally and learning the different ways to engage in ally behavior is an important next step. White people can act as allies by identifying racism when they see it, calling it out and challenging it in a myriad of ways.

Set Up a Safe and Respectful Classroom Environment. 2. Consider the Racial Composition of Your Classroom. 3. Define Terms. 4. Connect the Past to the Present. 5. Understand Perspective. 6. Think Critically About the Media. 7. Talk About Structural Racism and White Privilege. 8. Encourage Empathy. 9. Inspire Hope and Activism. Content: It is critical that teachers do their own individual reflection and possess the background and skills to discuss white privilege and structural racism so it doesn’t backfire or lead to defensiveness when discussing with students. Think carefully about your comfort with the topic and do not address it unless you feel comfortable and skilled in doing so. Consider using a video like MTV's documentary film White People to facilitate the discussion. 8. Encourage Empathy. Compassion and empathy go a long way in helping students understand race and racism. Provide opportunities for students to hear the thoughts and feelings of people most impacted by racism through in-person conversations, interviews, narratives, videos, photos and recordings. Have students reflect on these experiences and focus especially on the feelings of others. In this way, you help students be sensitive to what people are going through in these situations, which promotes empathy. Allow and help students express their range of emotions (anger, rage, frustration, sadness, hopelessness) about what’s happening as well as listen with compassion to the feelings of others.

Religion may be presented as part of a secular educational program. Programs that "teach about religion" are geared toward teaching students about the role of religion in the historical, cultural, literary and social development of the United States and other nations. These programs should instill understanding, tolerance and respect for a pluralistic society. When discussing religion in this context, religion must be discussed in a neutral, objective, balanced and factual manner. Such programs should educate students about the principle of religious liberty as one of the fundamental elements of freedom and democracy in the United States. "Teaching religion" amounts to religious indoctrination or practice and is clearly prohibited in public schools. A public school curriculum may not be devotional or doctrinal.

The only type of prayer that is constitutionally permissible is private, voluntary student prayer that does not interfere with the school's educational mission. SPECIFIC ISSUES & QUESTIONS May students pray? Students have the right to engage in voluntary individual prayer that is not coercive and does not substantially disrupt the school's educational mission and activities. 1 For example, all students have the right to say a blessing before eating a meal. However, school officials must not promote or encourage a student's personal prayer. Students may engage with other students in religious activity during non-curricular periods as long as the activity is not coercive or disruptive. In addition, while students may speak about religious topics with their peers, school officials should intercede if such discussions become religious harassment. It is essential that private religious activity not materially disrupt the school's educational mission and activities. 2 Personal religious activity may not interfere with the rights or well-being of other students, and the threat of student harassment and pressure must be carefully monitored.

Title: Yukon’s climate, notoriously cold in Gold Rush days, is transforming - Anchorage Daily News Headings: Yukon’s climate, notoriously cold in Gold Rush days, is transforming Yukon’s climate, notoriously cold in Gold Rush days, is transforming After Interior Alaska fire, permafrost disappears About this Author Yereth Rosen Sponsored Content: "Talk of your cold! through the parka's fold/ It stabbed like a driven nail," the Bard of the Yukon wrote in a poem that told the tale of a Gold Rush miner who got warm only when his corpse was cremated. But by the end of this century, expect the Yukon to feel less like the Arctic and more like the northern Rocky Mountain and prairie regions, according to a new study that examines "cliomes," the term used to describe localized climates that support distinct habitats. Of 17 existing Yukon cliomes, seven will probably disappear by 2100, and one new one — favorable to prairie grasslands — will spread from the south, according to the study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Global Ecology and Conservation. Northern Yukon, where the changes are expected to be most dramatic, will no longer have climate conditions that favor arctic tundra, according to the study. In the mountains of northern and central Yukon, the climate will favor boreal forests instead of alpine tundra now found there. In the southern part of the territory, the climate will become more like that found in the prairies of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. "It doesn't mean we're going to be planting canola soon, but it does mean that we're going to see a disconnect with the ecosystem and the climate," said Nancy Fresco of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, a co-author of the study. A lag occurs between the arrival of a new climate and the spread of new types of vegetation and other features that match the climate and make up an ecosystem, said Fresco, coordinator of UAF's Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning program (SNAP). The triangle-shaped Canadian territory of the Yukon runs from thick forests of spruce, pine and aspen in its southeast corner to the Arctic Ocean shoreline on the north.

Title: Yukon’s climate, notoriously cold in Gold Rush days, is transforming - Anchorage Daily News Headings: Yukon’s climate, notoriously cold in Gold Rush days, is transforming Yukon’s climate, notoriously cold in Gold Rush days, is transforming After Interior Alaska fire, permafrost disappears About this Author Yereth Rosen Sponsored Content: It will take some close-up, on-the-ground surveys to determine what has been happening with plants in that region, said Martha Raynolds of UAF, the lead author. Raynolds has worked for several years to track that region's changes caused by oil development and a rapidly warming climate. The new study uses satellite imagery captured from 1985 to 2011. Some changes are the obvious result of oil development — new roads and islands that have been constructed, for example, along with erosion along some of those man-made features. The active tundra layer — the layer below the surface where thaw happens each year — is getting thicker, and that sends more liquid water flowing freely. On the North Slope, that has resulted in deepened cracks in the tundra's polygon pattern, Raynolds said. "In the spring, the cracks fill with water. In the fall, the cracks freeze," she said. Over time, they get bigger, she said. On the land, the low-centered polygons can fill with water and become new puddles or ponds, she said.

Elders in North Slope whaling communities also called attention to strange things happening at sea, said Edward Itta, a Barrow whaling captain and former mayor of the North Slope Borough. "They had noticed 30, 35 years ago that the multiyear ice was getting different, and they didn't see the huge ivus anymore," said Itta, using the Inupiaq term for jumbled ice piles pushed to shore by currents or winds. " Sure enough, here I am, 35 years later, seeing now that these guys were way ahead of us. They knew things were changing, which is not surprising because they were masters of observation."

Beyond the day-to-day and year-to-year fluctuations, some long-term trends have emerged.

"Weather is what clothing you put on in the morning, and climate is what clothing you have in your closet," Fresco said. " Weather is still a day-to-day thing that can vary enormously." Beyond the day-to-day and year-to-year fluctuations, some long-term trends have emerged. The Arctic as a whole has gotten warmer and wetter since the start of the 21st century, a change attributed to sea-ice reduction. Other forces like reduced snow cover — which this year hit a near-record June low in the Northern Hemisphere — and cloud formation amplify the warming. Records show that Alaska's North Slope has warmed dramatically, most so in autumn, the time of minimal ice when more summer heat absorbed by the ocean is emitted into the atmosphere, thanks to ever-bigger areas of open water in that season. Lack of sea ice means fall storms are more destructive. On the Bering Sea coast, storms are sending seawater far inland, as much as 20 miles in southwestern Alaska's Yukon-Kuskokwim region, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

Title: What climate change looks like in Alaska now - Anchorage Daily News Headings: What climate change looks like in Alaska now What climate change looks like in Alaska now Since the mid-20th century, Alaska and the Arctic have been warming about twice as fast as the global rate. Over the past five decades, average Alaska temperatures have increased by 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit, with the increases most pronounced in winter -- a change noticed by Native elders decades ago.

For Alaska, history is being used to make predictions about what appears to be a vastly different future. UAF's Scenarios Network for Alaska and Arctic Planning, led by Fresco, gives community-by-community predictions for higher temperatures and shifts to rain rather than snow.

Schedule Me WHY DO I NEED TO CLEAN MY WALLS AND FURNISHINGS TO PURIFY AIR FROM SMOKE? If you leave nicotine and smoke residue coating the walls, carpets, and furniture, you are inviting the odor to return even after following the other purification steps. This is obviously not ideal and needs rectification. To clean residue from carpets, you’ll need a large box of baking soda and a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Baking soda is a well-known odor eater and is typically found in refrigerators. Sprinkle baking soda, like Arm & Hammer Extra Strength Carpet Odor Eliminator ( Walmart for $1.48), over the entire carpet and then let it sit overnight, allowing it to soak up as much of the odor in the carpet fibers as it can. In the morning, use your HEPA filter enabled a vacuum to pick up the baking soda. If this technique doesn’t seem to be cutting it, you can also rent a steam cleaner or hire a professional carpet cleaning company. For cleaning residue off walls, there is a simple concoction you can make from supplies you probably already have.

Mix ¼ cup baking soda 1 cup ammonia and ½ cup vinegar in a gallon bucket full of hot water. Using a sponge, scrub the mixture down all the walls from top to bottom. This will remove both the nicotine stain and the odor. There are a couple of options for cleaning the residue off fabrics. If the fabrics can be thrown in the washing machine, then adding a cup of vinegar to the washing water can help eliminate the tobacco odor.

Larvae migrate through your dog’s body causing damage, and along with the immature adults, soon mature into adults, not only causing harm to your dog, but also leading to environmental contamination from egg shedding before the next treatment. This puts you and your family at risk too! Advocate not only kills adult roundworms and hookworms, but also immature adult and larval stages of these worms, breaking the lifecycle. What’s more, Advocate kills all species of important intestinal nematode worms found in Australian dogs, unlike many other products, providing comprehensive protection from these worms.

You want uniform potato slices, so they cook evenly. Without it, some potatoes will be overcooked while others might still need to be cooked longer.

Jocelyne Mary C Eddie Content: They are so good it is incredibly hard to resist. If you happen to have some leftover home fries toss them in the microwave for a quick warm up. OR opt to warm them up in the oven. Spread them out on a sheet pan and season with salt and pepper. Then bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until they are warmed. This will give you a crispier texture where microwaving will soften them up. Can I Use Frozen Cubed Potatoes For Home Fries Recipe Yes.

Then slice up some peppers and onions if you want and toss in with your cubed potatoes along with some salt and pepper and seasoning.

If your job has an international office, see if you can transfer. See if you can start working remotely Look into the German Artist Visa Become an au pair in Europe Save up, quit your job, and backpack the world for awhile Move somewhere cheap for awhile Get a second citizenship based on your ancestry Fall in love with someone from a different country, get married, and move to their country. Just move to Canada! But in all seriousness… Would you leave the country if Trump was elected? Content: Fighting is harder. At the time, I was resolved to remain in the United States and fight as hard as I could. As of September 2020, however, I am in the process of moving to the Czech Republic, where I’m able to enter due to my relationship with a Czech Resident and where I’m able to get a freelance business visa, similar to the German Artist Visa detailed below. I’m leaving the US — but I’m not checking out. I will continue to be as politically involved as always, fighting for America’s most vulnerable citizens. Additionally, this list is not currently updated for COVID. Many of these options are not available; for example, all Peace Corps Volunteers have been sent home. If you want to get out of the US now, or in the next few months, I highly recommend booking a flight to Mexico. Americans can still travel to Mexico during COVID, they can stay up to six months at a time, and Mexico is full of safe, cheap, wonderful places to live.
