A few classroom examples of growth mindsets include: A kindergartener has trouble reading so she practices it every day after school because she “knows she can do it”
A sixth grader loves his science teacher’s astronomy unit because he learns something new every day
A fourth grader tells her teacher that even though learning long division is hard, she thinks it’s fun because she “loves a good challenge”
Dr. Dweck’s theory of growth mindsets in education aligns with brain plasticity, which is the concept that our thoughts and actions can improve our brain functioning . [ 13] Every time a student made a mistake in mathematics, for example, researchers discovered that a new synapse (which helps our minds transmit information) was made in their brain. [ 14] By encouraging students to learn from their mistakes and seek out challenging experiences, teachers can help their students get the most out of educational experiences. Benefits of a Fixed vs Growth Mindset in Education
On the most basic level, a growth mindset in the classroom can improve a student’s grades and standardized test scores. One study found that students who met for 90 minutes each week with a mentor trained in growth mindset practices saw a 4.5-point gain in mathematics and a 4-point gain in reading test scores. [ 15] If a student believes that they have a high potential for educational attainment, they’re more likely to practice often and find ways to turn their weaknesses into strengths. A growth mindset for students can also lead to the following benefits: Encourages intrinsic motivation to learn [16]
Strengthens happiness and life satisfaction [17]
Reduces anxiety and chronic stress [18]
Can help close the achievement gap [19]
Encouraging growth mindsets is essential for creating a classroom environment conducive to learning for all children but particularly under-resourced students. Educational researchers have found that understanding fixed and growth mindsets can not only stop plummeting grades in struggling students but also put them on the pathway to academic growth. [

Educational researchers have found that understanding fixed and growth mindsets can not only stop plummeting grades in struggling students but also put them on the pathway to academic growth. [ 20] In particular, growth mindsets have been proven effective for: ELL students [21]
Minority students [22]
Immigrant students [23]
Students from low-income families [24]
Growth Mindset Activities and Tips for Teachers
Because a child’s perspective is more likely to be shaped by their mentors, early elementary is the best time to teach students about mindsets in the classroom. [ 25] But whether you’re a kindergarten teacher or a high school principal, encouraging a growth mindset in your students can play a vital part in closing the achievement gap for your school. Use these five tips to promote a growth mindset at your school, as well as avoid common mistakes that can lead to fixed mindsets: When teaching students, place a greater emphasis on the learning process (like practicing, asking for help, or trying new strategies) than on intellect or talent [26]
Encourage students to practice subjects that they see as weaknesses.

Encourage students to practice subjects that they see as weaknesses. When a student makes a mistake, avoid saying phrases like “you tried your best” because it implies that there is no room for improvement [27]
Growth mindsets are helpful for teachers, too. Try to view each of your students as capable of academic achievement instead of either “good” or “bad” at a subject [28]
Instead of praising a child’s IQ or abilities, compliment how hard they’ve worked or how much they are progressing [29]
Teach parents to see their child’s intelligence in a growth perspective, too, as family support can help children gain confidence and succeed in school [30]

What is Parent Engagement?
Why Parent Involvement is Important
Parent Engagement and Student Success
How to Increase Parent Engagement
Footnotes
Content: According to experts, the definition of parent engagement is parents and teachers sharing a responsibility to help their children learn and meet educational goals. Parent engagement happens when teachers involve parents in school meetings or events, and parents volunteer their support at home and at school. In this way, they make a commitment. Parents commit to prioritizing their child’s educational goals, and teachers commit to listening and providing a space for collaboration with parents. Parent engagement in schools is different from parent involvement, though both are useful. Parent involvement is when parents participate in school events or activities, and teachers provide learning resources or information about their student’s grades. Unlike in parent engagement, teachers hold the primary responsibility to set educational goals. They relate to parents not as a partner but an advisor who guides them through academic support for their child. It helps to think of parent involvement as the first step to parent engagement. While teachers can advise parents on some things, parents also have important information about their child that teachers might not know.

Both can bring perspectives to the table that enrich a student’s learning experience. Neither is complete without the other. As noted by Larry Ferlazzo in his article “Involvement or Engagement?”: “ A school striving for family involvement often leads with its mouth—identifying projects, needs, and goals and then telling parents how they can contribute. A school striving for parent engagement, on the other hand, tends to lead with its ears—listening to what parents think, dream, and worry about.” [

Content: Some parents have scheduling or transportation issues that make volunteering or attending parent-teacher conferences tough. Others, like low-income or minority families, feel that staff makes them uncomfortable or shows a lack of cultural awareness. [ 4] If a parent-teacher relationship wasn’t established early in the year, parents also may not know whether they’re welcome at school. Some groups, however, are more at-risk for low parent engagement. Parent involvement is lowest in families below the poverty line or with older children, as well as parents who do not speak the area’s primary language or did not graduate high school. [ 5]
Parent involvement in schools is the first step to parent engagement and, ultimately, parent partnership. When parents and teachers work together to establish a thriving classroom, the effect on their students is profound. Students with engaged parents don’t just have high test scores: their attendance, self-esteem, and graduation rate rise, too. Parent-teacher relationships are more than an optional classroom benefit.

Content: 13] Two-way communication between parents and teachers commits students to daily attendance and raises class participation levels. Students aren’t the only ones who benefit from family engagement: parents and teachers do, too. Teachers can prepare parents to help with homework or academic concepts. And engaged parents tend to think highly of teachers, which improves teacher morale. Knowing more about a student’s family life can also help teachers prepare lessons that better fit that student’s needs or interact more efficiently with families. And because students receive more support, classrooms with engaged parents perform better as a whole. [ 14] When parents and teachers team up, everyone wins! How to Increase Parent Engagement
It’s never too late to build the foundations for parent-teacher communication in schools. But the sooner you do, the more equipped your students will be to reach their academic potential.

5 Tips and Activities That Promote Diversity in the Classroom
Content: 1] In part because of implicit biases, minority students are at a higher risk for school failure and negative experiences with their teachers. [ 17]
Because of this disparity between minority students and their predominantly white teachers, an educator’s implicit biases can cause them to project different outcomes for marginalized students and unconsciously help them less. [ 14] Achievement gap statistics show that children from low-income and minority families are most likely to fall behind in school, but not due to their own potential. And due to limited time and resources at home, many low-income children are already behind by the time they enter school. [ 20]
Unconscious racial bias is one of the biggest barriers to closing the achievement gap between white children and students of color, particularly those who come from low-income homes. [ 12] In these cases, socioeconomic disparities between students and social segregation within schools can also worsen existing achievement gaps. [ 13] Without training on how to better accommodate these students and avoid implicit biases, teachers may treat them differently than their peers. Teachers are most likely to act on their implicit biases in the following situations: [ 9]
When they have vague or incomplete information about a topic or student
When they’re acting under time constraints
When they’re tired, burned out, or have a lot on their plate
Unfortunately, teaching is such an intensive job that many educators work under these situations every day. But culturally responsive teaching can help close the achievement gap and prevent discrimination in school. [

[ 11] By recognizing examples of implicit bias in education and making a conscious effort to improve, teachers can make their schools a better place for each of their students. How to Use Implicit Bias Training to Embrace Diversity
Although many teachers understand the importance of diversity in schools, few are good at estimating their own implicit biases. [ 17] Teachers from privileged backgrounds, for example, are more likely to show subconscious biases than their colleagues with marginalized identities. [ 15] Luckily, educators are starting to understand the benefits of inclusion training to combat implicit bias and close the achievement gap. Implicit bias is like a bad habit:

How to Use Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory to Help Struggling Students
What are Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences?
Linguistic Intelligence
Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
Spatial Intelligence
Musical Intelligence
Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
Interpersonal Intelligence
Intrapersonal Intelligence
Naturalistic Intelligence
How the Multiple Intelligence Theory Can Help You Reach Struggling Learners
5 Multiple Intelligence Activities and Tips for Reaching Different Types of Learners
Content: Just because a child has poor mathematical skills, for example, doesn’t mean that they have impaired artistic or social skills. [ 5] For this reason, it’s long been important for educational researchers to find better ways to measure a person’s potential beyond the reading and logical skills that IQ tests measure. [ 9]
The multiple intelligences theory was created by Dr. Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, in 1983. It challenges the then-dominant (and still sometimes prevalent) belief that only linguistic and mathematical skills can define a person’s intelligence. [ 2] Instead, Dr. Gardner proposed eight different skill sets that better grasp the full scope of a child’s abilities. [ 2]
It’s important to note, however, that Gardner’s multiple intelligences constitute an educational theory and not scientific fact. While many teachers find the theory to be a helpful framework for their curriculum, few studies have been done on whether it is the most accurate model of human intelligence or on its success rate in schools. [ 15] But from a professional development standpoint, the theory of multiple intelligences is a great reminder for teachers that all students have different strengths and the potential for academic achievement. The list of Gardner’s multiple intelligences includes: Linguistic intelligence
Logical-mathematical intelligence
Spatial intelligence
Musical intelligence
Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence
Naturalistic intelligence
Interpersonal intelligence
Intrapersonal intelligence
Each of these intelligences are relatively independent of one another. [

Content: However, as wallpaper comes in an extreme variety of textures and porousness. It is impossible to provide accurate information without inspecting the wallpaper in person. You can try to follow the instructions below, but we caution this, as following the wrong procedure for your surface can cause further damage. If you still want to try at your risk. Because of the risk I would start with the dry smoke sponge, rubbing lightly. Make sure you don’t get the sponge wet, even sweat from your hands can cause smoke to stain. We recommend either removing the wallpaper or contacting a local specialist to help determine the appropriate cleaning procedure. Wood paneled walls
The most important factor when dealing with wood walls is if they are sealed or unsealed. Because sealed wood is easier to try and clean, as the smoke is less likely to embed into the grain of the wood. You can usually tell unsealed wood by its look and feel.

Wearing gloves will help with this. Any moisture when cleaning smoke on a flat paint surface will cause staining. When your sponge gets dirty you can remove a thin layer of the dirty area with rough sandpaper or a fine grater. My favorite, is a piece of rough commercial scrubbing machine pad. If you have a janitorial store near you, buy a rough scrubbing pad used for scrubbing machines. Cut a small piece and rub on the sponge keeping it even.

Headings: 6 most common pig diseases worldwide
4 most-read articles of January 2019
6 most common pig diseases worldwide
Symptoms, treatments and preventative measures for the six most common diseases in pre-weaning, post-weaning and in breeding animals worldwide
Pre-weaning period
1. Exudative dermatitis (greasy pig)
2. Coccidiosis
Post-weaning period
3. Respiratory diseases
4. Swine dysentery
Breeding stock
5. Mastitis
6. Porcine parvovirus
Conclusions

Content: Lesions first present as dark areas of skin, which spread and become flaky with a greasy feel. Antibiotics are used to treat the infection, along with skin protectants; autogenous vaccines have also been used with success. Improving hygiene in piglet housing is key to preventing this condition, along with teat dipping of sows pre- and post-farrowing. It is also important to reduce the potential for skin abrasions, as this is how the infection enters the body. Abrasions are caused by rough floors, jagged teeth, sharp equipment or even mange mites bites. 2. Coccidiosis
This disease is very common in suckling piglets and is caused by three types of the intracellular parasite coccidia. It causes diarrhea, which can be bloody, often between 10 and 21 days of age and up to 15 weeks of age. Acute cases are treated with fluid therapy and coccidiostats.

Content: in order to prevent this disease routine vaccination of gilts is advisable. Conclusions
In terms of disease prevention, re-occurring themes include hygiene, ventilation and reducing stress. Pig producers need to provide an environment that is optimal for the animal and inhospitable for disease-causing agents. As well as reducing infection pressure, immunity must be promoted by measures such as optimal nutrition and good husbandry. Prevention is obviously better than cure, and having a herd health plan will help to minimize disease incidence. Maintaining good biosecurity through every part of the production cycle will go a long way to preventing disease outbreaks. Managers should also ensure that breeding stock are purchased from high health status herds and suitably quarantined before introduction. This article details six common pig diseases, but there are many others to be aware of depending on the farm location. Vaccines have been developed and are routinely given for many diseases. However, producers should remain vigilant and make sure that all stock people know the signs and symptoms of common diseases.

Content: Although not normally associated with high mortality, it does result in significant growth set-backs. The immunity acquired from the colostrum has fallen to low levels by this time, although antibodies in the milk offer some protection to the gut. Treatment
Antibiotic treatment may be necessary for serious cases of scouring. Rehydration therapy, in the form of electrolyte addition to the water, is effective. An oversupply of milk can exacerbate the problem, in which case feed intake for the sow could be reduced during an outbreak. Ensuring adequate intake of colostrum is important in preventing scours. | Stewairns, Dreamstime.com
The option to move or segregate litters as well as putting piglets in a sickbay can help to reduce the spread of scours. Fostering of piglets from sows with large litters or not enough milk will prevent them becoming too weak. Using an E. coli vaccination before farrowing is a sensible consideration, particularly if there has been a problem in the past. Prevention

Antibodies from the sow in the form of colostrum are important in preventing scours. Therefore, ensuring that all piglets are suckling well in the first three days of life is very important. This is dependent on both the health of the sow and her piglets. Weak or small piglets may not have the energy to suck or there may not be enough viable teats for the whole litter. Piglets born to sows that aren’t producing enough milk (agalactia) are also at high risk. Other conditions that predispose piglets to scouring include anemia and pneumonia.

What causes secretory or nutritional diarrheas in piglets? While is it important to get piglets eating feed, it must be remembered that their digestive systems are immature and better suited to consuming milk. Diets should contain easily-digestible ingredients, and changes to the composition should be minimized. Undigested feed in the gut creates a breeding ground for pathogens, particularly E. coli. Making hygiene in the farrowing house a priority will help to reduce the infection pressure.

Conditions should minimize stress, as this along with other diseases will predispose piglets to scouring. For example, the creep area should be safe, clean, warm and dry. Conclusions
Pathogenic strains of E. coli are the most common cause of scouring in piglets, so strategies to minimize this threat are key. In terms of digestive stability any sudden changes to feed, water or environment should be avoided.

If you’re a business or accounting major, or just someone who’s interested in the world of finance, you might be considering a career as an auditor. And with its reputation for stability and high projected growth rates, the field of auditing has a lot to offer students and recent grads. To get the inside scoop on auditing, we sat down with the team at the CAQ (Center for Audit Quality) to find out what it takes to get started in the field. Here are the steps you need to take if you want to become an auditor. 1. Earn an undergraduate degree
The first step toward becoming an auditor is to earn a bachelor’s degree in business, accounting, economics, data analytics or other related subjects. Since auditing is a technical field that requires a solid understanding of accounting principles, taking on a major that will help you develop this knowledge is a great way to set yourself up for success. Pro Tip: If you’re passionate about more than one academic subject, a double major or minor is a great way to explore different areas of academia, while still building the skills you’ll need to be an auditor.

Content: 1. Earn an undergraduate degree
The first step toward becoming an auditor is to earn a bachelor’s degree in business, accounting, economics, data analytics or other related subjects. Since auditing is a technical field that requires a solid understanding of accounting principles, taking on a major that will help you develop this knowledge is a great way to set yourself up for success. Pro Tip: If you’re passionate about more than one academic subject, a double major or minor is a great way to explore different areas of academia, while still building the skills you’ll need to be an auditor. You should especially consider computer science and data analytics if you want to get an edge on the auditing profession. 2. Develop your knowledge of accounting and auditing
In addition to taking relevant classes during your time in college, it’s important to develop your business and industry knowledge by staying on top of the latest financial and business news. A good way to do this is by reading major news publications like the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, and keeping track of new and ongoing financial trends. If you want to get even more specialized in your knowledge, you can check out publications targeted specifically to those who want to learn more about auditing such as the CAQ’s Discover Audit initiative.

Although college classes and individual research are a great way to learn about the field of auditing, there’s really nothing better than an internship when it comes to getting hands-on experience in the profession. By interning with a public accounting firm during your college years, you’ll be able to get a sense of everything involved in the audit process (from researching the financial history of a particular company to evaluating financial reporting risks) and to find out whether the role is a good fit for you. Pro Tip: Since many accounting firms hire full-time auditors directly from their intern pool, an internship is also the perfect way to get noticed by potential employers and see if that firm is a good fit for you.

Although a Certified Public Accounting (CPA) license is not required in order to start your career as an auditor, many firms — especially large public accounting firms — require their employees to obtain their CPA license early in their career, especially for individuals who want to continue to working on public company audits. Developed by the American Institute of CPAs, the exam consists of four parts and covers topics such as financial accounting, regulation, and business concepts. According to the CAQ, even if your particular firm doesn’t require a CPA license, passing the exam is a way to expand your career options and to get recognized in the field. It will also increase your earning potential throughout your career.

An exciting and growth-oriented career, auditing offers recent grads an opportunity to learn about new industries like media and tech while also developing their knowledge of accounting and business operations. Despite the fact that it’s a stable career with high earning potential, there are some common misconceptions about auditing that seem to keep popping up. To set the record straight, we sat down with the team at the CAQ (Center for Audit Quality) to find out what it’s really like to be an auditor. Here are the top five misconceptions about being an auditor. 1. Auditing isn’t a very exciting career path
If you’ve ever heard a joke about accounting or auditing, you know that the punchline is almost always about it being a boring profession. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, being an auditor gives you exposure to a diverse range of industries and companies, meaning you’ll always be learning about new business trends and meeting with leaders in almost every industry – all while working in a collaborative team environment made up mostly of your peers who often become your friends and colleagues for life. Added bonus: According to the CAQ, auditors who work for public accounting firms get to work on a variety of cool projects including counting votes for popular award shows like the Oscars and the Grammys.

They must also find ways to deliver the infrastructure needed when there is little money to pay for it. Put simply, civil engineers have to come up with solutions to complex problems and implement them; they literally shape the world people live in. DESCRIPTION
Civil engineers shape the world
There are two types of civil engineering roles: consultants who focus on design work and generally spend more time in the office or working with clients, and contractors who are more involved with keeping an eye on the physical construction and are usually based on-site. Both are challenging environments, and all civil engineers are required to be innovative and logical individuals. Other essential attributes civil engineers need include: creativity, versatility, a problem-solving mind, and the ability to understand the bigger picture and to collaborate with a number of other professionals. Civil engineers design, build, supervise, operate, and maintain construction projects and systems in the public and private sector, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment.

Some historians refer to the Crusades as the most successful failure in Western European history. Why were the Crusades failures and yet successes? Of course, the Crusades were not completely beneficial to Western Europeans. A negative effect of the Crusades was that Christians began to kill Jews simply because they were not Christians. This persecution and hatred of Jews is called Anti-Semitism. In fact, religious intolerance increased during and after the Crusades.

Millions of us happily pay $119 a year for Amazon Prime. That's because it's convenient and you can often receive your orders in just two days with free shipping. But one Cincinnati-area woman is among a growing number of people complaining their packages are arriving late. Latosha Wright loved the speedy delivery to her College Hill home that came with Amazon Prime. But with several recent orders, she says, "I started noticing that the packages were not coming when they stated they would come." Instead of a familiar brown box at the door, she started receiving emails about delays. "I got an email stating the package would be delayed, even with some gift cards I ordered," she said. So her gift ended up being late. Why are some orders taking longer? Wright says after several delivery delays in a row, "I wrote to the Attorney General's office because I was so frustrated by the amount of delays."

Signs of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (Yeast Infections)
Frederick R. Jelovsek MD
Many reproductive age women have experienced vulvovaginal candidiasis or "yeast" infections in their lifetime. However candida species of yeast can also exist in the vagina without causing symptoms and can be found in up to 15% of asymptomatic women. Yeast symptoms of itching and burning often overlap with other conditions such as allergic or irritant vulvitis that we have written about in the past. Then what exactly are the signs and symptoms of yeast vulvovaginitis and how reliable are they to use alone, without any cultures or microscopic exams, to make a diagnosis on which to begin treatment? Recent Research
A recent article, Eckert LO, et. al: Vulvovaginal candidiasis: Clinical manifestations, risk factors, management algorithm. Obstet Gynecol 1998; 92:757-65, looked at this diagnosis problem in 774 women coming to a an STD clinic, but not ones who had been specifically referred for yeast infections as have previous studies on this subject.

Although environmental organizations have made an effort to diversify, there is still very much work to be done. Unfortunately, many organizations exhibit the problematic and pervasive “W.H.O.M” (We-Have-One-Minority) syndrome, which is oftentimes accompanied with the tokenization of marginalized employees and volunteers. Tokenized minority employees are put in the position to speak on behalf of their entire marginalized group, putting immense pressure on them as individuals. They may also be dealing with racial tension, micro-aggressions, or other harmful behaviors that even well-intentioned employees sometimes partake in. This is exhausting and unhealthy for marginalized employees. Some organizations may market the fact that they’re progressive and inclusive, although this behavior is not inclusive, or progressive. If organizations want to see real change and create a space where marginalized people feel comfortable working or volunteering, an intentional effort must be made to dismantle systems of oppression within the workplace and organization. This is important for environmental or conservation organizations for a number of reasons. When discussing environmental issues, it is crucial to acknowledge that many marginalized populations bear the burden of environmental hazards and also typically have less access to environmental benefits. Therefore, prioritizing their hiring and creating a safe space is vital.

Back when Matthew Ramsey was a teenager, and falling increasingly ever more in love with music, nothing was so exciting to the blossoming singer-songwriter as hanging in a garage with his buddies and jamming out until a fully fleshed song revealed itself. “That was just such an amazing feeling,” the Old Dominion frontman recalls with childlike wonderment. So infectious was that feeling and practice to Ramsey that he’s carried it with him to the present day: “ It’s so incredible be able to sit in your room with your instruments and your bandmates and feel that chemistry and follow it wherever it goes,” the singer says of the tight-knit way he and his globe-dominating band — which includes singer-guitarist-songwriter Ramsey, guitarist-songwriter Brad Tursi, bassist Geoff Sprung, keyboard-guitarist Trevor Rosen, and drummer Whit Sellers — have forever believed that at the heart of their massive success lies their collaborative spirit and, to that end, have crafted each of their acclaimed albums and chart-dominating singles as a truly cohesive unit. It’s certainly proved a winning method: since breaking onto the country music scene in 2014, Old Dominion — recognized as the Group of the Year at the both the 2018 and 2019 ACM Awards and the reigning CMA Vocal Group of the Year — have notched seven No. 1s at country radio, surpassed one billion on-demand streams, singles “No Such Thing As A Broken Heart” and “Written in the Sand” earning Platinum certifications and “Hotel Key” earning a Gold, from their Gold certified sophomore album Happy Endings, and headlining arenas and amphitheaters across the globe on their super-successful “Happy Endings” and current “Make It Sweet” tours.

How Should Schools Acknowledge Black History Month? We need to stop shrinking black history. Mike Yates on February 7, 2018
During my first year of teaching, I remember quite vividly the feeling of being forgotten. February rolled around and, strangely I might add, no one said one word about the fact that it was Black History Month. No one! Not a parent, not a student, no administrator or fellow teachers … no one. As a black person living in the United States, who is always very aware of the realities surrounding race in this country, I was shocked and even hurt that an entire school would overlook this important time. Over the years, I’ve found that there are varying degrees of celebration of Black History Month in schools. Y’all, I have seen the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful.

So, here are three things schools should avoid and three things they should definitely do during Black History Month. What schools should avoid during Black History Month
1. Not celebrating at all
More common than you would think, many schools across the country do nothing for Black History Month. In my case, the school that ignored Black History Month had so few students of color, you could count them and the two black teachers on one hand. Honoring and celebrating Black History Month is for everyone, no matter their race.

Cutesy activities about Martin Luther King that don’t teach his true significance are shrinking a legend. I have some more news: He’s not the only black hero. And there are black heroes beyond Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Tubman. Students should also learn about Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael), Bayard Rustin, Ella Baker, Angela Davis, Medgar Evers, and so many more.

Slavery, Jim Crow, systematic oppression, and racism are all issues that need to be addressed. It is important to engage students critically about these topics. To be sure, the suffering matters greatly. However, one of the things that schools do during Black History Month is place too heavy an emphasis on the sad, horrific details of the black experience. Black History Month should also be a celebration of art, culture, and innovation. There are ways to commemorate the struggle and celebrate the triumph. What schools should do during Black History Month
1. Acknowledge it
Doing something is better than doing nothing, even if you have to change your curriculum.

Content: Recognize the challenges children who are deaf/hard of hearing face in the classroom. via Allison Audiology
Most teachers no longer use a traditional teaching style, facing the class while they lecture from the front. This is terrific for accommodating a variety of learning styles, but makes life in the classroom much harder for children who are deaf/hard of hearing, as they often cannot see the teacher’s lips or hear them well when they move around the classroom. Here are some other ways hearing loss causes challenges in school. Background Noise. For kids with mild to moderate hearing loss, background noise can be their biggest enemy. Since many classrooms are now a hum of busy activity all day long, it’s much more likely these kids will miss or have difficulty hearing instructions or feedback. Acoustics. When a teacher stays in one place, children who are deaf/hard of hearing can be placed close to them. But they still may not hear other students across the room, or pinpoint where a sound is coming from.

Anytime fourth grade teacher Julia McIntyre talks about her personal travels, she uses Google Earth to show students the distance between their school and her destination. “ It really puts it into perspective for them,” she says. Now you can also use Google Earth to follow National Geographic Explorers, including those working to protect the oceans through National Geographic’s Pristine Seas initiative. Josh Williams’ students explore the Pristine Seas program and use Google Earth to analyze how places around the world have changed over time. 6. Create autobiographical island maps. Source:

Students in Amy Getty’s sixth grade class start off the year by creating maps of islands that illustrate their lives. They first fill out an autobiographical survey and then use their creativity and knowledge of landforms and symbols to design their maps. 7. Play a global game of hide and seek. Mystery Class, which Christina Michelle plans to try with her students next year, includes fun geography lessons that help kids understand longitude and latitude while learning about continents, countries, and cities around the world. Kids start by gathering data about Earth, based on latitude, longitude, and seasonal changes in sunlight. Then they investigate clues and compare their data, narrowing down their search to find 10 secret sites around the globe. 8. Map character journeys. When teaching about literary settings, Jessica Brookes suggests having kids create a map of the main character’s travels throughout the story, including a title, scale, key, and compass rose.

50 Tips and Tricks to Facilitating a More Inclusive Classroom
Everyone is welcomed, everyone is valued. Kirstin Kelley on August 10, 2017
Most of us know that creating a more inclusive learning environment is a good thing. But figuring out what steps to take to benefit our marginalized students without singling them out as being different is a challenge. That’s why we put together a few ideas to help you facilitate a more inclusive classroom. 1. Incorporate less commonly heard points of view in lessons. Too often marginalized voices go unheard and discounted, especially in schools. Offer your students a wider view of the world (and maybe even some role models that share their experience) by incorporating magazine articles, books, and speeches by people who aren’t white, cisgender, straight men. 2.

Bring in guest speakers who can speak to their own experiences, rather than trying to do it all yourself. 3.

Content: 11. Offer your notes or PowerPoints to students. Students who struggle with hearing issues can benefit from having a written reference available to them so that they don’t miss out on critical details. 12. Interrupt when students police or shame each other. Students often say things that aren’t nice to each other. Instead of ignoring it when students make fun of each other for smelling funny or dressing different, let them know that behavior isn’t okay and be sure to follow through if it persists. 13. Avoid using students differences for “ teachable moments”. I’m a firm believer in providing students with the “why” whenever possible, but when a student is teasing another for dressing in ill-fitting or hand-me-down clothes it’s not appropriate to point out that the student they’re teasing may be low-income.

Content: But often teachers elect to assign identical projects to each student, rather than letting students take ownership and develop a project that plays to their strengths. Some students may fare better with a paper than a poster and still others may need to build something to truly grasp the information. Plus you don’t have to read the same five pages 30 times over. 22. Let marginalized students have the floor—but don’t force it on them. You’ve seen it happen. You bring up black activists during one of your lessons and every head turns to the lone black student in your class. Don’t be one of them. If that student wishes to share, by all means let them speak. But if they look like they’d rather be invisible, draw your students’ attention back to the material.

“The most significant change to the fighter jet is that it is now equipped with thrust vector control.” Thrust vectoring nozzle for a Eurojet EJ200 turbofan (WikiMedia Commons)
Thrust Vector Control
Thrust vector control, sometimes abbreviated to TVC, is a means of controlling a jet or rocket engine’s outward thrust. Thrust vectoring nozzles are used to literally move the outflow of exhaust in different directions to give an aircraft the ability to conduct acrobatics that a straight-forward nozzled jet simply couldn’t do. When paired with an aircraft like Lockheed Martin’s F-22 Raptor, thrust vectoring control allows an aircraft to make sharper changes in direction, or even to continue traveling in one direction while pointing the nose, and weapons systems of the aircraft, down toward an enemy. Put simply, thrust vectoring nozzles let you point the engine one way, while the aircraft itself is pointed in another (to a certain extent). In a jet like the F-22 (and soon in China’s J-20 stealth fighter), this technology gives fighter pilots a distinct advantage over non-thrust vectoring jets in a dogfight. You can see the thrust vector control surfaces on the F-22’s engine, which can direct the outflow of exhaust up to 20 degrees up or down, in this video clip: F-22 thrust vectoring nozzles
www.youtube.com
Russia also employs thrust vector control technology in some of their more capable fighters, like the Sukhoi Su-35, which is widely considered to be among the most capable fourth generation fighters in service anywhere on the planet. While stealth and sensor fusion capabilities would give an F-35 Joint Strike Fighter the long range advantage against the non-stealth Su-35, the Russian jet would technically be capable of flying circles around America’s premier stealth fighter if stealth weren’t in the picture (luckily, however, it is). Sukhoi Su-35S Extreme maneuverability
www.youtube.com
Of course, that’s not what the F-35 was built for, and in a real conflict, an F-35 would likely shoot down a Su-35 before the Russian pilot was even aware of an American presence in his airspace.

(WikiMedia Commons)
The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter versus China’s J-20 Stealth Fighter
While the F-35 tends to garner the lion’s share of attention, it truly was not built to serve in an air superiority role against near-peer or peer level adversaries. The F-35’s strengths don’t come from its speed or maneuverability, but rather from the extremely effective one-two punch it can deliver via stealth technologies, sensor fusion, and communications. Many F-35 pilots, including Sandboxx News’ own Justin “Hasard” Lee, will tell you that the F-35’s role in many dogfights isn’t that of an up-close dog fighter, but rather more like a quarterback in the sky, accumulating and processing data into an easy-to-manage interface, and relaying that information to aircraft and other weapons systems in the battle space. (U.S. Air Force photo by Christopher Okula)
When it is up to the F-35 to take down an airborne opponent, the F-35’s speed and maneuverability limitations are usually not a significant concern, as the jet is designed to engage enemy aircraft more like a sniper than a boxer.

Obviously, flying without your cockpit canopy comes with some significant risk. Not only does the canopy protect the pilot from the incredible winds associated with flying a high speed aircraft, it also exposes the pilot to intense cold, and as anyone who’s ever ridden in a convertible will tell you, all that wind noise can be pretty distracting. Other common threats to aircraft (like bird strikes or inclement weather) can also be exacerbated by the loss of a protective layer between the pilot and the outside world. Fighter jet cockpits are pressurized, though not in the same way as most commercial airlines. Instead, the cockpits of most fighters maintain ambient air pressure until they climb above a certain altitude. Without the canopy, flying above that altitude would be extremely dangerous, despite the pilot’s mask-fed oxygen supply. Risk be damned, these tests can help to ensure the procedures you train pilots to execute during emergency situations really work. In other words, the risk is a calculated one meant to save lives.

GRILLING INSPIRATION
BURNING QUESTIONS
BEHIND THE GRILL
TIPS & TECHNIQUES
We are often contacted by consumers who are sure their burners need to be replaced. Quite often, they really don’t need to be. The burner tubes in most of our gas grills are situated right below the Flavorizer bars or heat deflectors. They distribute the flames through their portholes to provide even heat throughout the grill for excellent grilling. If the flame pattern is uneven or lazy, take a closer look at the burner tubes to determine their condition. Brushing these portholes with a clean Weber stainless steel brush can keep them clear of oxidation and debris.

Content: If you have healthy self-esteem, you are more likely to have positive relationships with others. Your confidence enables you to do your best at school or work. Healthy self-esteem helps you maintain a positive outlook even when you don’t meet expectations, as you can be more open to feedback and growth opportunities. Your self-acceptance frees you from the need to conform in order to be accepted by others. When your self-esteem is healthy, you are less likely to develop mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, or addictions. Signs of healthy self-esteem: Assertive in expressing needs and opinions
Confident in ability to make decisions
Able to form secure and honest relationships, and discontinue unhealthy ones
Realistic in expectations; not overcritical of self or others
More resilient; better able to endure stress and setbacks
Costs of low self-esteem
Low self-esteem makes it difficult to make decisions. If your self-esteem is low, you depend excessively on the approval of others.

Social Media and Networking
Importance in Marketing
Author: Crystal J. Briscoe
Content: News Delivery
One way social media is playing a great role in our lives is the way news is delivered. The digital age has seen a drop in the amount of newspapers sold and the number of people reading these news sources. A high number of people prefer to access their profiles on social media first before visiting news sites. The reason for this is that friends and followers on social media platforms have become trusted source for news compared to traditional sources. Social media has greatly affected the way people spend their leisure time. Gone are the days when people frequented parks or libraries during their free time. However, with the rise in social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, more and more people are logging in everyday just to interact and share information with friends and followers. Moreover, social media has also changed the way people socialize and interact with each other. Even though a large number of people still meet each other or new people through traditional venues such as cafes, parks and so on, more people are discovering friends via social media. Social Media and Networking
Social media not only helps people stay in touch with existing contacts, but also aids in the formation of new alliances.

Prevent Future Emergencies
Whether your asthma is severe or usually well under control, you sometimes may find it very hard to breathe. An asthma attack that doesn’t get better even with a rescue inhaler can turn into a life-threatening emergency. But how can you tell if an asthma attack is bad enough to go to the hospital, and what can you expect once you get there? Check Your Asthma Action Plan
The plan you wrote with your doctor to help control your asthma does more than tell you what medications to take. It also lists the symptoms to watch for and when to call your doctor or go to the ER if they get worse. You should call 911 or get to a hospital right away if you: Have wheezing or shortness of breath that doesn’t get better when you use your rescue inhaler
Are so short of breath you can’t talk or walk normally
Have blue lips or fingernails
Take more than 25-30 breaths a minute
Need to strain your chest muscles to breathe
Have a heartbeat higher than 120 beats per minute
Very few people need a hospital stay for asthma treatment. It’s more likely to be necessary if you: Have had a bad asthma attack before
Went to the ER or stayed in the hospital because of your asthma within the last 10 days
Got diagnosed with asthma after age 40
Take steroid medications regularly to control your asthma
Use your rescue inhaler more than twice a month
Have other long-term health problems, such as heart or lung disease
What to Expect at the Hospital
Emergency room doctors will decide whether you can be treated and released or whether to admit to you the hospital. They’ll examine you, note your symptoms, and test your lungs.

What to Expect at the Hospital
Emergency room doctors will decide whether you can be treated and released or whether to admit to you the hospital. They’ll examine you, note your symptoms, and test your lungs. Treatments
Depending on your symptoms, different medications and treatments may be given in the ER to get your asthma attack under control. These include: Bronchodilator drugs given through an inhaler or nebulizer to open your airways
Corticosteroid drugs given by pill or IV to lower lung inflammation
Extra oxygen
Tests
While they treat your asthma attack, your doctors will probably run tests to see how well they’re helping. These tests may include: Peak flow reading, which measures how quickly you breathe out
Spirometry, which measures how much air you breathe out in 1 second
Blood oxygen levels, as measured through a device on your finger
Hospital Stay
Even if your symptoms get better quickly, your doctor may want to keep you in the ER for a few hours to make sure symptoms stay under control.

Asthma and Your Diet: Foods That Help and Hurt
May Help: Fruits and Veggies
1 / 15
There's no specific asthma diet that can get rid of your breathing troubles. But certain foods may have benefits. Fruits and veggies are a good place to start. They're full of chemicals called antioxidants like beta carotene and vitamins E and C. These help stop particles called "free radicals" that damage cells and could inflame and irritate your lungs. Swipe to advance
May Help: Vitamin D
2 / 15
You get most of it from sunshine, but it's also in some foods. The top choice is fatty fish like salmon and swordfish, followed by milk, eggs, and orange juice, which are often "fortified" with vitamin D. The nutrient strengthens the response of the immune system -- your body's defense against germs -- and could lessen swelling in your airways.

They've got lots of good things in them, but one in particular that might be good for asthma is vitamin E. Almonds, hazelnuts, and raw seeds are good sources, as well as cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and kale. Vitamin E has tocopherol, a chemical that could help cut how much you cough and wheeze from your asthma. Studies are under way. Swipe to advance
May Hurt: Dried Fruit
4 / 15
There are some foods you may want to avoid if you have asthma, and dried fruits are among them. Though fresh fruit, especially oranges and apples, can help control your asthma, the sulfites that help preserve dried fruit could make the condition worse for some people. Alcohol (especially red wine), shrimp, pickled vegetables, maraschino cherries, and bottled lemon juice also often have sulfites. Swipe to advance

It's all about the gas they give some people. It can bloat your belly and make it harder to breathe. It may even trigger an asthma attack. Beans are the most famous candidate. Soak them for a few hours and change the water a couple or so times to lessen this effect.

Salicylates are chemicals that occur naturally in coffee, tea, herbs, spices, and even in anti-inflammatory pills, like aspirin. Though most people don't react to them, they could make it harder to breathe, especially if you already have asthma. You may be able to improve these symptoms if you cut as many as you can from your diet.

It's made up of lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and nuts. You eat fish and chicken at least twice a week, and limit your red meat. Instead of butter, you cook with olive or canola oil, and you flavor with herbs instead of salt. There's even a bit of optional red wine for adults.

When you eat more calories than you burn, your body stores the extra in fat cells. You can really start to pack on the pounds if you do that too much.

Some people call it "nitro puff," but there are other names. You might notice a stream of smoky coldness that spirals from a fancy cocktail, a new frozen dessert at the mall, or other foods.

The Rumor: Rainy days can really get you down
Ever notice that as rain drops from the sky, your mood sometimes drops, too? If you feel meh on a dreary day, you might just chalk it up to coincidence. Sure, the Carpenters sang, “Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.” But can rain really ruin your mood? The Verdict: Yep, rainy days really can get you down
If you feel down during a downpour, it’s not your imagination: Bad weather can indeed have a negative effect on your emotions.

If you feel down during a downpour, it’s not your imagination: Bad weather can indeed have a negative effect on your emotions. According to one study, nearly 9 percent of people fall into the “rain haters” category. This group feels angrier and less happy on days with more precipitation. Another study found that rain even increased the number of negative posts published on Facebook. Tecsia Evans, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in private practice in San Francisco (where it rains 67 days a year, on average), says, “When it gets dark and dreary out, some people definitely have more susceptibility to feeling lonely or down. It’s pretty common to see a change in mood -- such as feeling sadness or lower self-esteem -- when it’s rainy outside.”

If your mood tends to downshift with rainy weather, what can you do about it? Evans says that even if you’re tempted to shut off the lights and crawl into bed during a rainstorm, make the choice to turn on the lights instead. “ There has been research that light can boost serotonin, which elevates the mood,” she says. Julia Samton, MD, a psychiatrist at NYC's Manhattan Neuropsychiatric who offers light therapy in her practice, takes that advice a step further. “ I encourage people to really try to make sure they walk outside, even when it’s cold and rainy,” she says. “
