Two studies published in Obstetrics and Gynecology find no correlation between efforts to limit nonmedically indicated deliveries before 39 weeks and the number of stillbirths.
There have been multiple efforts in the past decade by professional societies, regulatory bodies, and quality collaboratives to lower rates of early term deliveries that are not medically necessary (beginning of week 37 to end of week 38). However there is some concern that 39-week delivery policies could potentially increase term stillbirths, especially if policies are misused for higher-risk pregnancies.
Therefore, the researchers used National Health Statistics data to determine whether those efforts, which lengthened pregnancies overall, were having unintended consequences.
Sarah E. Little, MD, MPH, from the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and colleagues, studied early-term deliveries as a percentage of total term delivery and calculated term stillbirth rates for each state, both overall and for low- and high-risk women, using birth certificate and fetal death data.
They found a decline in early-term deliveries across the United States, going from 1.12 million (31.8%) of 3.53 million term, singleton births in the early term in 2005 to 978,000 (28.5%) of 3.43 million in 2011. Reductions varied widely by state "ranging from a 25.5% relative reduction to a 3.9% relative increase," the authors write in their article, published online November 5. However, they found no change in the term stillbirth rate (123/100,000 births in 2005 vs 130/100,000 in 2011; P = .189).
In another study, also published online November 5, Marian F. MacDorman, PhD, from the Maryland Population Research Center, University of Maryland in College Park, and colleagues found that the stillbirth rate was unchanged between 2006 and 2012, although the percentage distribution of live births by gestational age changed considerably in that time: Births at 34 to 38 weeks decreased by 10% to 16%, and births at 39 weeks increased by 17%.
The researchers used fetal death and live birth data files to compute gestational age-specific stillbirth rates at 20 weeks of gestation or greater using two methods: traditional (eg, stillbirths at 38 weeks of gestation/live births and stillbirths at 38 weeks) and prospective (stillbirths at 38 weeks of gestation/number of women still pregnant at 38 weeks). They assessed changes in rates and in the percentage distribution of stillbirths and live births.
"To decrease the stillbirth rate, research is needed to identify women early in pregnancy at the highest risk for stillbirth for more careful monitoring and potential intervention. Still, the lack of change in the prospective stillbirth rate from 2006 to 2012 suggests that preventing nonmedically indicated deliveries before 39 weeks of gestation did not increase the stillbirth rate at the national level," Dr MacDorman and colleagues conclude.
Editorial Notes Limitations
An accompanying editorial by Jennifer L. Bailit, MD, and Justin Lappen, MD, from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at MetroHealth Center, Cleveland, Ohio, said that although these data appear to support what physicians are currently doing, the studies have several limitations.
Among them, they say, is the way stillbirth risk is measured. The study by Dr Little and colleagues cannot account for the effect that gestational age distribution had on risk for stillbirth.
"The prospective fetal mortality rate is the preferred metric for measuring stillbirth risk since the denominator (all ongoing pregnancies) captures the population of pregnant women at risk for the outcome of stillbirth," they write. "Notably, the prospective fetal mortality rate increases each week of gestation starting at approximately 35–36 weeks. Therefore, assessing changes in the prospective fetal mortality rate, and not the rate of occurrence by week of gestation, better illustrates the effect of shifting the timing of delivery later in gestation."
Also, using death certificates can be imprecise because although gestational age at delivery can be determined, gestational age at time of death is impossible to glean from administrative data. A fetus who died at 36 weeks, but was delivered at 38 weeks, could not have been helped by an early delivery at 37 weeks, they note.
In addition, the studies can provide evidence only of association, not causation. In both studies, researchers cannot account for trends such as improvements in ultrasound screening and detection of growth restriction, which would lead to appropriate medically indicated late preterm birth.
The studies do emphasize that physicians and administrators must use 39-week rules only for the low-risk populations for which they were intended, Dr Bailit and Dr Lappen say. Clinicians should treat higher-risk patients with condition-specific guidelines.
"The studies by Little et al and MacDorman et al add to the evidence to be considered when balancing the fetal, maternal, and neonatal risks regarding the timing of delivery," they write, "but these data should not be the final word on whether the 39-week rule has unintended consequences."

Batman and Robin, Thelma and Louise, Brad and Angelina. Some pairs are just meant to be. The same holds true for various foods. Over the past few decades, nutrition scientists have produced a dizzying amount of data on the healing powers of individual food components such as lycopene, vitamin D and omega fatty acids. Lately, however, the white coats are catching on that such molecular marvels often have an even stronger impact when they’re not working alone.
Food synergy occurs when individual components within foods work together in the body to maximize health and training benefits. Iron-rich lentils get a boost from a dash of lemon. As a duo, spinach and blueberries make muscles work better. It’s like adding one plus one and getting four: The total is greater than the sum of the parts. To get more nutritional bang from your meals and snacks, pair up these power foods:
Avocado and Kale
You may want to bid adieu to those bland (and often sugar-infused) fat-free salad dressings. A 2012 study by scientists at Purdue University determined that pairing a vegetable salad with a source of fat bolsters our absorption of important fat-soluble antioxidant carotenoids such as beta-carotene in carrots, lycopene in tomatoes and eye-protecting lutein in dark, leafy greens like spinach, kale and Swiss chard (Goltz et al. 2012). The researchers also found that monounsaturated fat was the most effective form of fat for increasing uptake. So gussy up salads with monounsaturated-rich foods like avocados, extra-virgin olive oil or a sprinkling of nuts.
Cereal and Low-Fat Milk
Comfort food may promote better exercise recovery, say researchers at the University of Texas, Austin. The investigators found that subjects who consumed whole-grain cereal with skim milk after a bout of moderate-intensity exercise experienced a boost in muscle glycogen (the main fuel for exercise) replenishment and muscle protein synthesis on a par with what they experienced when consuming a formulated sports drink (Kammer et al. 2009). The carbohydrates in cereal and the protein in moo juice appear to team up to give muscles what they need to recover after a workout. To avoid an avalanche of sugary calories, choose a cereal that lists a whole grain as the first ingredient and contains no more than 10 grams of sugar per serving.
Greek Yogurt and Hemp Seeds
Eating before bed may not be so bad after all. A 2012 Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise study determined that ingesting a dose of protein 30 minutes before bedtime helped promote muscle recovery in those who exercised earlier in the day, even if protein and carbohydrates were supplied immediately after exercise (Res et al. 2012). Strained Greek-style yogurt has twice as much protein as traditional yogurt, while up-and-coming hemp seeds (aka hemp hearts) contain more protein—about 10 grams in a 3-tablespoon serving—than other seeds, making this pairing an ideal nibble before you call it a night. Be sure it’s plain yogurt to avoid unnecessary sugary calories.
Spinach and Blueberries
Popeye was right: His favorite food could be the secret to a stellar workout. It turns out spinach might help you sail through a tough training session, say Swedish researchers. They found that the nitrate present in certain vegetables like leafy greens and beets helps muscles work more efficiently during exercise, potentially making those indoor cycling classes seem less arduous (Larsen et al. 2011). Further, the payload of antioxidants in blueberries has been postulated to ease muscle oxidative stress and inflammation in response to exercise (McAnulty et al. 2011). To load up on both prior to hitting the gym, try whirling up this tasty smoothie:
1½ cups coconut water
1 T lemon juice
½ C plain low-fat yogurt, preferably Greek-style
1 C packed baby spinach
2 T unsalted almonds
1 T honey
½ t almond extract
⅔ C frozen blueberries
Place all ingredients into a blender in the order listed, and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Serves one.
Per serving: 307 calories; 15 g protein; 7 g fat (2 g saturated); 51 g carbs, 10 g fiber; 405 milligrams sodium.
Key: C = cup; T = tablespoon; t = teaspoon.
Sardines and Ricotta Cheese
Calcium and vitamin D may help trim the fat. A 2012 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study showed that subjects who upped their intakes of these two nutrients for 4 months experienced a greater loss in visceral abdominal fat than those who took in less (Rosenblum et al. 2012). Elevated visceral belly fat is a risk factor for a number of maladies, including heart disease. The researchers surmised that higher intakes of calcium and vitamin D may stimulate fat metabolism. Sustainable and inexpensive sardines are among the few foods that provide good amounts of vitamin D, while protein-rich ricotta cheese is loaded with calcium. That makes this sandwich as good a lunch choice as you’ll get.
3 (3-ounce) tins sardines, packed in water or olive oil, drained
⅓ C reduced-fat ricotta cheese
⅓ C reduced-fat sour cream
juice of ½ lemon
1 shallot, chopped
2 T chives or dill, chopped
1 T prepared horseradish
1½ t smoked paprika
¼ t black pepper
8 slices whole-grain bread
4 t Dijon mustard
1 C baby spinach
1 medium-sized tomato, sliced thinly
Place sardines in a large bowl and lightly break up the flesh with a fork. Gently fold in ricotta cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, shallot, chives or dill, horseradish, paprika, salt and pepper.
Spread Dijon mustard on four bread slices and top with the sardine mixture. Then add spinach, tomato slices and the remaining bread. Serves four.
Per serving: 316 calories; 25 g protein; 12 g fat (3 g saturated); 26 g carbs, 4 g fiber; 648 mg sodium.
Beans and Lemon
The various varieties of beans and lentils provide healthy doses of iron in a form called nonheme iron, which the body has a hard time absorbing. Well, Mother Nature has provided a solution. Vitamin C, found in vegetables and fruits such as lemon juice, can change the molecular structure of nonheme iron to make it more easily absorbed by the body. Case in point: In a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, women who ate two vitamin C–rich kiwi fruits with a serving of iron-fortified cereal improved their iron stores more than the group who enjoyed their cereal with a banana, which is lower in vitamin C (Beck et al. 2011). This is especially important for premenopausal women, who are at higher risk for poor iron status, owing to menstruation. Low iron levels can lead to fatigue and brain fog.
Salmon and Tomatoes
Consider bejeweling your salmon with a tomato sauce. A Spanish study published in the European Journal of Nutrition reported that women who consumed an omega-3–enriched tomato juice for 2 weeks experienced a greater decrease in certain compounds such as homocysteine and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), which are thought to play a role in the development of heart disease, than those who consumed tomato juice without the omega infusion (García-Alonso et al. 2012). The researchers suggested there was a synergy between the omega-3 fats and the phytochemicals in tomatoes. Data suggests that beyond being a champion for heart health, these omega-3s—found in fatty fish like salmon, sardines and trout—may stimulate muscle protein synthesis, helping to increase lean body mass (Smith et al. 2011).
Butternut Squash and Black Pepper
Black pepper improves the intestinal absorption of beta-carotene, according to an investigation published in the Journal of Functional Foods (Veda & Srinivasan 2009). Ginger and capsaicin, the phytonutrient found in cayenne and chili powder, were also found to be effective. Abundant in sweet potatoes, carrots and butternut squash, beta-carotene functions as an antioxidant to help knock out cell-damaging free radicals. Additionally, beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body to support healthy bones, skin, eyes and immune systems.
1 T canola or coconut oil
1 leek, white and light-green parts, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 t ginger, finely chopped
5 C butternut squash, cubed
1 large apple, diced
5 C low-sodium vegetable broth
1 C water
½ t chipotle chili powder
½ t salt
¼ t black pepper
¼ t nutmeg
¼ C pumpkin seeds
2 t fresh thyme
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add leeks and carrot; cook 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook 2 minutes. Add squash, apple, broth, water, chipotle chili powder, salt, black pepper and nutmeg. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast pumpkin seeds in a skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until golden and beginning to pop. Stir often during toasting.
Stir thyme into soup. Carefully purée soup in a blender or food processor until smooth, working in batches if necessary. You can also do this in the pot with an immersion blender.
Serve soup garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds. Serves 6.
Per serving: 151 calories; 3 g protein; 2 g fat (1 g saturated); 25 g carbohydrate; 4 g fiber; 328 mg sodium.
Almonds and Kefir
Researchers at the Institute of Food Research in the U.K. discovered that fiber in the skin of almonds can increase the population of good-for-you bacteria in the digestive tract (Mandalari et al. 2010). The fiber in almond skin appears to act as a prebiotic, so once consumed it provides a food source for the beneficial probiotics found in “alive” foods such as kefir, yogurt, miso and sauerkraut so that they can multiply and outnumber unfriendly critters. Like yogurt, kefir is a fermented milk product, but it contains a different set of beneficial bacteria. On top of boosting digestive health, healthy levels of probiotics may improve immune defenses. For a healthy snack, try stirring chopped almonds into a bowl of kefir.
Edamame and Cayenne
If edamame could speak, they would say to cayenne: “You complete me.” Scientists in Korea discovered that the tag team of genistein, an isoflavone antioxidant found in soy foods such as edamame and tofu, and capsaicin, the antioxidant that gives chili peppers their fiery kick, can help tame inflammation (Hwang et al. 2009). Chronic inflammation in the body is now widely accepted to be a risk factor for illnesses like heart disease and cancer. For a nutritious afternoon snack, prepare 1 cup of frozen shelled edamame according to package directions, and season with ¼ teaspoon of sea salt, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne and a squirt of fresh lemon juice. Bonus: The vitamin C in the lemon juice will rev up absorption of the iron in edamame.
Chicken and Carrots
As noted, in addition to its role in bone growth, vitamin A—found in carrots, dark leafy greens and winter squash—is good for skin, eyes and the immune system. But you need an optimal intake of zinc (in poultry, eggs, pork, oysters and beef) to get the full benefits of vitamin A. That’s because zinc is needed to make retinol-binding protein, a compound that transports vitamin A throughout your body. So make sure you team up your meats with brightly colored vegetables at the dinner table.
Raspberries and Apples
A fruit salad may just be the perfect dessert. A University of Florida study determined that the antioxidant ellagic acid, found in raspberries, walnuts, pomegranates and cranberries, enhanced the ability of quercetin—another beneficial antioxidant—to kill off cancerous cells (Mertens-Talcott et al. 2005). You can also find quercetin in grapes, onion and buckwheat. Food scientists have uncovered thousands of such bioactive phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. And they are now discovering that these often work better in pairs or groups, proving that the power is in the packaging and that pills with single nutrients just can’t match the healing power of whole foods.

Mumbai, May 27: In a distressing incident in North Korea, authorities have reportedly sentenced a two-year-old child to life imprisonment after discovering that the child's parents possessed a Bible. Officials imposed severe punishment upon apprehending the parents for their alleged religious activities. The US State Department's International Religious Freedom Report 2022 brought a disturbing incident involving North Korea to light. According to the report, the regime has intensified its crackdown on individuals holding religious beliefs.
As indicated in the report, an entire family, including a two-year-old, was sentenced to life imprisonment in a political prison camp in 2009. As per a document published by a non-governmental organization (NGO), it is estimated that a significant number of North Korean citizens, ranging between 50,000 and 70,000 individuals, have been subjected to imprisonment for the sole reason of being Christians. Kim Jong Un Wants North Korea to Make More Nuclear Material for Bombs.
Christians who have been imprisoned in these camps have shared harrowing accounts of appalling conditions and instances of physical and sexual abuse. The report further highlights that the Ministry of State Security has been identified as responsible for 90% of the documented human rights violations targeting both Christians and followers of Shamanic beliefs. North Korea Braces Up To Use Nuclear Weapon Material As Kim Jong Un Asks People To Scale Up Production.
Despite officially granting freedom to practice religion, North Korea identifies itself as an atheist state. However, the regime led by Kim Jong-un continues to suppress and restrict religious activities within the country, thereby stifling the exercise of religious freedom.

For a good decade starting in the mid-nineties, the survival horror genre blossomed and was actually pretty amazing. Sometime in the past 8 years, though, the genre began to decline. The Resident Evil series became more action-oriented and the Silent Hill series languished without a game comparable to that series’ first couple of games.
It’s odd, then, that the revival of the genre might come on a Nintendo console. Sure, the Gamecube had the Lovecraftian Eternal Darkness, but the bloody Zombie game ZombiU is unexpectedly fascinating. Combining the first person perspective with traditional survival horror mechanics on a new console from a company that has a reputation as family friendly is a bit of a risk for Ubisoft, the game’s developer. Add in features from the new Wii U pad controller and the experience might just be the most fun Zombie outbreak in recent memory.
As the gameplay footage below shows, the feeling of trying to guess the last number of a door code while a flaming zombie approaches is an experience that hasn’t been replicated on consoles for quite some time.


Location, location, location—the key to real estate success—seemed a potential problem for TROY Boston, a rental building planned for the city’s South End neighborhood. The site stood across from a gas station and homeless shelter and next to a highway overpass, hardly a spot young entrepreneurs and professionals dream of as a hip place to call home. So the developer hired a creative marketing/advertising team to go after prospects (not at the site, but in a variety of locations where prospects congregated) and developed a campaign based on the tag line “The South End’s New Modern Classic.”
The team rented a food truck that it transformed into a cool leasing center with black-and-gold decor and the hash tag #MeetTROY. The vehicle roamed the city to find tenants, and people flocked to the truck and posted their images on Facebook and Instagram.
Since the building’s completion, the marketing team has continued its interactive approach. After noticing that residents were taking sunset photos from the rooftop deck, it launched #SunsetOfTroy to encourage them to post their photos for the chance to win prizes. Another campaign has invited local businesses and organizations to have artists, fitness instructors, chefs, and musicians host events and cross-promote one another.
The building’s occupancy has reached almost 94%, and its two retail spaces are leased. Meanwhile, the South End has gained more new development, including a Whole Foods Market, and has earned a 95 Walk Score. Success has offered a twist on the adage, “Build it, and they will come”: Sometimes, you first must reach out and find them.


Two books are available now, Avarice and Merchants in the Temple, that blast the Vatican. Now, first we have to acknowledge that the Vatican breeds conspiracy theories worse than the Kennedy Family, but just like them not all of the theories turn out to be false. Second, we should also realize that any large organization, especially overtime, becomes somewhat institutionally broken; unable or unwilling to make the changes it needs to make in order to fulfill its goals. Finally, we have to give these reporters credit, they make a pretty good case.
Italian journalist Gianluigi Nuzzi is the author of "Merchants" and his history with the Vatican goes way back. His last big book resulted in the arrest of the Pope's butler for selling secrets and, it is widely believed, ultimately lead to or at least exacerbated Benedict's ill health and exhaustion and subsequent resignation. More "Vatileakers" have been arrested this time around, two of Francis' financial reform commission in an investigation into stolen documents. The second book, "Avarice," by La Repubblica Vatican reporter Emiliano Fittipaldi, details financial malfeasance at the Vatican.
Accusations include a charity system, Peter's Pence, intended to help the poor that is so corrupt only about 10% of the money gets to its intended recipients, drastically underestimated property values, and a system of cronyism, mismanagement, and waste are hidden behind the secrecy of the Roman Curia - the administrative department of the Vatican. Memos from Francis himself warn the Curia gainst engaging in "intrigue, gossip, cliques, favoritism and partiality" and acting more like a royal court than an institution of service. Last Christmas he delivered an infamous dressing down of his closest collaborators, citing the "15 ailments of the Curia" that included living "hypocritical" double lives and suffering from "spiritual Alzheimer's."
Another issue involves the super-secret organization that researches candidates for sainthood (we have talked about them before). " After the Vatican's saint-making office told the commission it had no documentation about the postulators' funding or bank accounts, the commission had the postulators' accounts frozen at the Vatican bank, Nuzzi said."
This all further stirs the rumor mill that the Roman Catholic Church is heading for real schism, by design or not. The Conspiracy Theories on that one fill the internet - don't go looking unless you have a great deal of time and a lot of incredulity. You have been warned.


After finding out the fastest 4G operator in Mumbai, we now move on to second metro city Delhi. Like Mumbai, Delhi has also got two active 4G networks from Airtel and Vodafone. Vodafone launched 4G service only few months back and became the second operator to offer 4G service in Delhi. Today we find who is the fastest of two.
The tests were conducted by our reader Manu Arora on his OnePlus Two smartphone at Pitampura, Delhi. The speeds were measured at 10am, 2pm and 7pm revealing how the network performed during different hours of the day. At time of testing both network were having almost full signal strength.
Airtel 4G: Unlike Mumbai, Airtel 4G couldn't provide full speed of its 4G network, however managed to give speeds above 10 Mbps. The speeds kept improving as the we move through the day and fastest speed of 14 Mbps was obtained at night and slowest speed of 7 mbps was in the morning.
We are unable to confirm whether Airtel 4G signal was on 2300 Mhz or 1800 Mhz as Airtel holds both bands in the circle.
Vodafone 4G struggled to provide speed near 5 Mbps and the speeds were more like a 3G network. At times speeds were as low as 1.58 Mbps and fastest speed was 4.77 Mbps. It seems that Vodafone 4G network is already congested in Delhi and speeds are far below 4G standard.
Both Airtel and Vodafone have 3G service in the circle and with 4G service operators wants to decongest their 3G network at the same time offer better speeds for customers. However, Vodafone 4G network seems to be already congested and may need to look at acquiring more 4G spectrum to improve quality of service in the metro city.
Inputs: Manu Arora
Note: The above test are for reference only and actual speed may vary depending on location and network.
Please do send us 4G speed test comparisons from your cities and we will get it published.

A hollow heavy sound: acquainted with the nada
A party. Faces are laughing and chattering. The music booms and you feel the syncopated thud inside your stomach. A hollow heavy sound. Chemicals are released in your brain. The endorphins rushing as the lighting configurations change. Purples and greens and black and artificial fog and sweat. There is a symbiotic union occurring, a marriage of consciousness. And you watch everything. This fantastic display of unity and connectivity is unfolding before your very eyes. And you feel alone. You have no business here. This sense of alienation is so profound; the only thing you feel is an urgency to leave.
Like an old man drinking brandy outside of a café at night, you yearn for something comfortable and pleasant. Something tangible to hold onto. There must be more, something, anything beyond the sinking abyss that seems to be wrapping its empty arms all around you. You remember the old times, the arrogant, ignorant times. When you were a young waiter. The world was you, and you were the world. You had not yet caught sight of the emptiness that loomed just across the horizon.
Destiny was a brilliantly colored object that you could hold in your hand, that you could see in your sights. Ignoring the wisdom of old, you soldiered on. A few years later you took the brightly colored destiny and placed it in a locked box for safe keeping. You had caught a glimpse of the nada and quickly shuffled along. You peek at your box with the still bright, but now fading destiny. Your journey is at its midpoint. The point of no return. Each step forward becomes heavier. Heavy and hollow. Like the beating of some war drum.
Young men who have not seen death are quick to dismiss it as a triviality. A property of some far away future. But as the march continues, and the pounding of drums draws near, in-authenticity becomes increasingly difficult. You search for bright lights to remind yourself of the left behind. You grow increasingly desperate and your search becomes frantic, as you scratch and claw and realize. The nada approaches. Once you soldiered on bravely, now you check over your shoulder. Quickening your pace as you glance at the nada from the corner of your peripheral.
Perhaps at this point you no longer believe in Karma. Maybe you are still interested in luck. Eitherway, you feel yourself aching to run in separate directions. Half of you wants to run back into the skin of the young arrogant waiter you used to be, and the other half of you wants to jump right into the void. To just get it over with. Like the anxiety of waiting for a hard metallic needle to draw your blood, you thirst for the moment when the waiting might end, and you might relax. But you know better than that now.
You know that the person you used to be is gone. You wonder about the person you will become. You watch the tree blocking the electric light, and notice the old man sitting in the shadow. You see his empty glasses of brandy and you wonder if they are helping. Maybe you take a shot yourself, with no one looking. You watch the young man, scarcely aware of what the future holds for him. Leaning against the bar, shoulders hunched and face frowning. He knows only his own discomfort. To him, the old man is an object. An obstacle to freedom. For you, he is a sober reminder. You will keep the image of the old man staring at his empty glasses of brandy fresh in your memory, though you perhaps would like to forget it. All things must end.
The hollow heavy sound marches through you, like a dusty parade of elephants thundering through a scorched desert tundra. The young man will grow, and the old man will die. Like a game of musical chairs, the nada will claim another participant at the music’s end.
You close your eyes and everything goes away. Your teeth are clenched and your muscles tight. There is only the nada. Not any specific color, but the absence thereof. You imagine a lineup in a police station. The Young man is to your left, and the old man is to your right. You glance at them both, and they ignore you. Their gaze is steady and they seem to know something you do not. Uneasy, you too face forward. You shift your stance and your clothing feels uncomfortable. You feel no movement, and hear no sounds from your counterparts. Again you look left and right and they are like statues, with gazes cast in stone. You will find no reassuring words from these men. You close your eyes tightly, and slowly recite to yourself:
“Our nada who art in nada, nada be thy name thy kingdom nada thy will be nada as it is in nada. Give us this nada our daily nada and nada us our nada as we nada our nadas and nada us not into nada but deliver us from nada; pues nada.”
A voice calls out over a loudspeaker:
“You, in the middle. Step forward.”
You step forward.
“what’s your business here?”
“Nada, just un otro loco mas”
You glance again at the young man, and the old man. Still standing like statues, as you hear the voice call again from the loudspeaker.
“you’re free to go”
Your eyes are still closed. You slowly open them, and strain to adjust to the light as you reply matter of factly:

As seen from France, World War I was first and foremost a matter of transporting men who had to be brought en masse to the front. This article describes the first departures and analyzes the sentiments they elicited: sadness, resignation, fear. Men climbed into the trains and went off to war: these first voyages were followed by countless others that bore little resemblance to those of August 1914. Wounded, exhausted, discouraged, and occasionally rebellious, soldiers passed through the railway stations, which had become the heart and soul of the country. In the towns, fear spread as supplies began to be scarce and living conditions deteriorated. Life unfolded to the rhythm of the passing trains until, at the end and in the aftermath of the war, other train cars arrived bearing those who had died.
World War I is the most important single event in the history of globalization. The war ended the first significant era of increasing economic ties among nations and thereby shaped the economic history of the twentieth century. The war set off both a search for ways to re-create the prewar liberal world economy and attempts to create statist alternatives to it. The collapse of interbank cooperation and expansion of controls on trade, migration, and agriculture meant that economic globalization re-emerged only very slowly over the rest of the twentieth century. Indeed, the long-term effects of World War I lasted until the 1990s. The lesson of this story for the twenty-first century is to check the dangers inherent in a multipolar world, where globalization produces both economic growth and social tensions.
This article discusses the experiences of Russian nurses in World War I. An examination of Russia's sisters of mercy—as Russian nurses prior to 1918 were called—in World War I reveals the significance of women's medical service and exposes the fallacy of the notion of war as a distinctly male experience. Russian women's wartime nursing experiences share many of the features of the male war experience. Although conventional wisdom draws lines of demarcation between the active killing and dying of combat and the passive nurturance and support of nursing, in reality, Russian women's wartime medical service blurred such separations. In many ways, the narratives of female medical personnel mirror those of male combat personnel. The nurses who served in Russia during World War I indicate clearly the variety of ways that women intersected with and were affected by the war and the inadequacies of gendered notions of wartime experience.

Ordinary women are among the least known subjects of Ottoman Turkish historiography. One of the most important reasons for this lack of information is that the Turkish archives are not organized in such a way that researchers can easily access documents on ordinary women. However, the difficulty in finding women’s voices in historical documents is only one part of the problem. Whereas conventional Ottoman-Turkish historiography prioritizes the acts of those holding power, most Turkish feminist historiography focuses on the organized activities of elite and middle-class women rather than ordinary women due to various paradigmatic and methodological restrictions. This article explains these limitations and proposes less conventional methods for conducting research on ordinary Ottoman women, who were important actors on the home front during World War I. It discusses theoretical approaches, methodology, and alternative sources that can be used to conduct research on women in the Turkish archives. It also presents some examples of ordinary Ottoman women’s voices and everyday struggles against the violence they suffered during World War I, using new, alternative sources like women’s petitions and telegrams to the state bureaucracy as well as folk songs.

In the early twentieth century, French academic veterinarians launched a meat trade reform movement. Their primary objective was the construction of a network of regional industrial abattoirs equipped with refrigeration. These modern, efficient abattoirs-usines would produce and distribute chilled dead meat, rather than livestock, to centers of consumption, particularly Paris. This system was hygienic and economical and intended to replace the insanitary artisanal meat trade centered on the La Villette cattle market and abattoir in Paris. The first abattoirs-usines opened during World War I, but within 10 years the experiment had begun to encounter serious difficulties. For decades afterward, the experiment survived in the collective memory as a complete fiasco, even though some abattoirs-usines in fact persisted by altering their business models. This article examines the roadblocks of the interwar era and the effects of both the problems and their perception on the post-1945 meat trade.
Occupation, Liberation, and Reconstruction

The avalanche of ruin photography in the archives, albums, publications, and propaganda of World War I France challenges us to understand what functions such images fulfilled beyond their use as visual documentation. Did wartime images of ruin continue the European tradition of ruiniste art that went back hundreds of years? Or did their violence represent a break from the past? This article explores how ruin photography of the period fits into a larger aesthetic heritage in France, and how the depiction of ruins (religious, industrial, residential, etc.) on the French side of the Western Front provided means of expressing the shock and grief resulting from the unprecedented human losses of the war. Using official and commercial photographs of the period, the article resituates ruin photography as an aesthetic response to war, a symbol of human suffering, and a repository of rage.
An Auxiliary Nurse’s Memories of World War I
The scrapbooks and wartime papers of American Alma A. Clarke reveal how one woman repurposed gendered propaganda during the Great War. Clarke was in France from January 1918 to July 1919 as both a child welfare worker with the Comité franco-américain pour la protection des enfants de la frontier and as an auxiliary nurse in the American Red Cross Military Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine. The Great War provided Clarke with new ways to contribute, new arenas in which to share her expertise, and perhaps most importantly, new perspectives on the significance of her contributions to society.

The article examines the ways in which French officers manipulated the image of the "savage and violent" African colonial soldier. While the background for the development of this image was the general European perception of Africa as a violent space, during World War I, officers, as well as parts of the French public, began to see Africans as "grown children" rather than savages. However, as this image served French military purposes and made the soldiers useful on the battlefields, it was not rejected outright. I look at the debate around recruiting Africans to serve in Europe on the eve of World War I, and the French attempts to refute the German accusations around the deployment of African soldiers in the Rhineland during the 1920s. Finally I examine how, thirty years later, during the Indochina War, African officers dealt with these conflicting images in reports about violent incidents in which African soldiers had been involved.

What Causes You To Drool In Your Sleep – Have you ever dreamed of a more beautiful smile? Make an appointment for a cosmetic dentist consultation at Dental Group West. Prevention When it’s time for your next dental checkup, visit Dental Group West for comprehensive dental care. IV Sedation We don’t want dental anxiety or discomfort to come between you and your health, so we offer IV oral sedation.

What Causes You To Drool In Your Sleep
Many patients ask us about fluids. Many people may experience periodic days and nights of depression due to sinus problems or allergies, while others find storms to be a daily part of their lives. While general dentistry may not be the right way to address these issues, the dentist’s office is often a good place to start your search. We can complete an analysis to help determine the cause of the fluid and work with your partner to find the best treatment to meet your needs. Continue reading this post to learn more about the most common causes of fluid retention.
Why Am I Drooling When I Sleep?
Often, severe and uncontrollable nausea while awake is caused by serious conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Bell’s palsy, and cerebral palsy or brain injury. It can also be the cause of Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disease that damages the nerves. Epiglottitis is an infection that causes inflammation of the epiglottis, the cartilage at the back of the throat, making swallowing difficult. If you’re having trouble sleeping, it could be as simple as your sleeping position, sinus congestion, or the inability to close your mouth completely. Patients with sleep apnea may experience excessive fluid retention during sleep. Certain medications, hormonal changes, and stress can also cause the salivary glands to overproduce water, causing drooling at night.
For the most part, there is no need to worry about sewage. It just happens sometimes. However, if at any point in your daily life you are experiencing difficulties due to excessive water production, it is time to ask for help. Depending on the cause of the drooling, a dentist may be able to help, but regardless of the cause, the dentist is usually the first to notice problems with or damage to the production of saliva. Your dentist can help refer you to a health care professional for treatment or work with you to solve problems.
At Toledo West Dental Group, we’re here to help our patients live happier lives. We offer a wide range of preventive, restorative and cosmetic dental services in a comfortable, modern office. If you struggle with snoring or oral health, let our team know. We are happy to help you, and if we cannot provide you with the treatment you need, we can help you find medical professionals.

Why Do People Drool In Their Sleep?
You wake up from a deep sleep to find that your pillow is wet or your cheek is wet. Sleeping in your own bed can be awkward and uncomfortable, especially if you’re sleeping next to a loved one or in a public place like an airport.
Although it can be disturbing, “depression is a natural thing, and it’s not related,” says Dr. Neil H. Patel, family doctor on Providence St. Joseph Hospital says.
However, some minor health problems, such as dry mouth, can bother you and, although rare, some serious conditions, such as neurological diseases, can have the same effect.
When the mouth is dry, the salivary glands work to lubricate, Patel said. So if you are dehydrated or sleep with your mouth open, the glands may secrete more water, causing you to fall asleep.
Children Who Drool Often Are Worrisome?
How to treat it: Stay well hydrated throughout the day. Then keep a glass of water by your bed to drink if you feel thirsty at night.
If you have a respiratory infection or seasonal allergies, your body will produce more water. This can help flush bacteria or irritants out of your nose, throat, and mouth, but it can also cause you to urinate while you sleep, says Dr. Thomas Michael Kilkenny, director of the Sleep Medicine Institute at Staten Island University Hospital.
Allergies can also cause nasal congestion, forcing you to breathe through your mouth. This can dry out and promote water retention while you sleep.
How to treat it: Treat seasonal allergies with over-the-counter antihistamines, Patel says. If you have an upper respiratory infection, you can allow the infection to progress. And if it takes longer than a week or two, see your doctor.
Sleep Apnea: Symptoms, Causes, And Treatments
Some people with acid reflux have excess fluid as a symptom of the condition, Patel says. This can lead to dehydration while you sleep, as eating a large dinner and lying in bed can make acid reflux worse.
How to treat it: Focus on treating acid reflux with home remedies such as increasing fiber intake and lifestyle changes such as eating less food. When your reflux is active, over-the-counter antacids can help, but you should talk to your doctor if you need to take them regularly.
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes people to stop breathing during sleep. Abnormal breathing patterns can cause people to breathe through their mouths and become dehydrated during sleep, Patel says.
In addition, people with sleep problems often have other diseases, including sleep bruxism or teeth grinding, which also promotes water absorption, since grinding stimulates the salivary glands.
What To Do If Your Dog Is Drooling Excessively
How to treat it: If you think you have sleep apnea or have other symptoms, such as fatigue or snoring, see your doctor. Treatment includes lifestyle changes, such as weight loss if overweight, and devices that regulate breathing, such as a CPAP machine.
Some medications increase milk production. This is called drug-induced sialorrhea, or excessive salivation, and it can keep you up at night. These medicines are:
How to treat it: If you notice that it is loud after taking a new medication, see your doctor. Have an open discussion about the benefits of night swimming.
Any condition that affects the nervous system can affect your fluid production, make it difficult to close your mouth at night, or affect your ability to swallow, Kilkenny says.
Why Does My Toddler Drool Non Stop?
As a result, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, and stroke may increase the risk of nighttime wetness. If you have any of these conditions, you may also have other neurological symptoms, such as headaches, changes in memory or cognition, or tremors.
How to treat it: Talk to your doctor about medications that can reduce water production. Working with a neurologist and speech, physical, and occupational therapists can also help, although the behavioral effects are limited if you’re unconscious during sleep, Kilkenny explains.
Sleeping on your stomach or side can increase your chances of drooling during sleep due to gravity.
How to deal with this: Consider learning to sleep on your back or pay special attention to sleeping with your mouth closed.
Why Do I Drool When I Sleep? Reasons And How To Stop It
But if you notice any sudden changes or fluid that affects the quality of your sleep, don’t hesitate to consult your doctor. In addition to the lifestyle changes described above, aggressive treatment or poisoning,

Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a UFC card this week. It’s the seventh card in eight weeks, and yet, it’s not being talked about much. Sure, it’s a foreign Fight Night on Fight pass, and the main event doesn’t seem too appealing, but it’s still a pretty fun card on paper. The main card is pretty great, and what’s more is that the prelims should be pretty fun as well. Yes, some of the bouts are lackluster, but a lot of them should be fun. And so, without further ado, here are my predictions for the nine-fight prelim card slate, which will air entirely on Fight Pass later today.
Fight Pass prelims (1:30/12:30pm CT, UFC Fight Pass)
Lina Lansberg (6-2) vs. Lucie Pudilova (6-1)
The card’s opening bout is also its only female bout. Both women have roughly the same amount of experience in MMA, but Lansberg’s the only one to be in the UFC before, and is also a former Kickboxer with 48 career bouts in that sport. Lansberg has four knockout wins, and actually made it to the second round in her UFC debut against the vaunted Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino, before succumbing in that very round via tko. Meanwhile, Pudilova has two knockout, submission and decision wins apiece, and has won three straight. This one’s not very easy to pick, and anything can happen. I’ll pick Lansberg, but no result will be shocking here. Prediction: Lansberg via decision.
Bradley Scott (10-4) vs. Scott Ashkam (14-3)
Up next is a bout between fighters who had great starts to their careers, but are 2-3 inside the octagon, with all of their UFC losses coming via decision. A loss for either could send them packing up and looking for another promotion. Scott, the runner-up of 2012’s TUF: Smashes, has finished all ten of his victories; five via knockout and five via submission. As for his losses, all three of his losses in the UFC have come via decision, while his only loss via finish came back in 2009. As for Ashkam, the Brit debuted in the UFC with a 12-0 record, and in the UFC, he either loses via decision, or wins via first round knockout. Nine of his 14 wins have come via knockout, and if he wins today, it would likely come via first round knockout. This one’s really a coinflip, and I guess I’ll go with Ashkam, but via decision this time. Prediction: AShkam via decision.
Brett Johns (13-0) vs. Ian Entwistle (9-3)
Johns is 13-0 with four submissions and a pair of knockout wins, but has gone the distance in seven of his fights, including five of his last six, three of which were five round championship bouts. He’s facing a guy who has an affinity for heel hooks, having won three times due to them including once in the UFC, and has win seven times via submission, but tends to get tagged and knocked out whenever that doesn’t happen. In two if his three UFC bouts, the latter has happened. So, either Entwistle pulls off another heel hook win, or gets tagged and potentially knocked out. That said, seeing how he’s facing a guy who tends to go the distance, I’ll say that Entwistle won’t get the heel hook win, but won’t get knocked out either. I’ll pick Johns to win, in the fashion that he usually tends to win by. Prediction: Johns via decision.
Leon Edwards (12-0) vs. Vicente Luque (11-5-1)
Often times, Fight Pass cards will have a rare gem buried deep within the prelims. This time, it could very well be this fight. Luque’s career record is far from impressive, but his UFC career has been quite something. He came to the UFC with a 7-4-1 record, and lost a dispiriting decision to fellow TUF competitor Michael Graves. Since then, he’s 4-0 with each win coming via finish, three in the first round, two in the opening 79 seconds, and has racked up a pair of Performance of the Night bonuses to boot.
Meanwhile, Edwards is a former BAMMA Welterweight champion with a 4-2 UFC record. Four of his six fights have gone the distance within the promotion, but he’s still mostly a finisher, with eight of his 12 career wins coming early, including five knockouts. Amongst those knockout wins was a whopping eight-second knockout of Seth Baczynski in his UFC debut, which proves that he can finish folks in the big show as well. I’m not sure if he’ll get it done today, and my gut tells me he’ll win a decision, but I’ve picked enough decisions as is. Something’s gotta give in the finishing department, so I’ll stray from my gut and predict a finish in this one. Prediction: Edwards via tko, round 2.
Mark Diakese (11-0) vs. Teemu Packalen (8-1)
Packalen has finished all of his victories, including six via submission. He’s won six fights in the first round, including his last bout, a shocking 24-second submission won over Thibault Gouti to earn his first UFC win. Diakese has five knockout wins, but also five via decision. Three of his wins may have come in the opening 90 seconds of fights, but still, he’s won a fair share of fights via decision, didn’t look to great in his last bout, and is facing someone who’s never been finished. This could be a very fun fight, but conventional wisdom points to a decision win for Diakese. Prediction: Diakese via decision.
Tom Breese (9-1) vs. Oluwale Bambgose (6-2)
Up next is a Middleweight bout that’s too easy to call. Breese is a prospect who began his career with nine straight wins, all via finish, including six in the first round. Since then, he’s 1-1 with both fights going the distance, and is probably itching for a finish again. Well, he’s facing a guy who has gone the distance only once with each of his first seven bouts ending via first round knockout. He doesn’t have a very good gas tank at all as evidenced by his last bout, and if a fight doesn’t end early, he looks like an absolute shell of himself. In this one, I see Breese staving off an early onslaught, tiring Bambgose out, and winning via finish in the second round of what could be a pretty fun fight while it lasts. Prediction: Breese via tko or submission, round 2.
Timothy Johnson (10-3) vs. Daniel Omielanchuk (19-6-1, 1 NC)
There are only two prelim bouts on this card that I can say I’m honestly not looking forward to, and this is one of them. Johnson began his career with each of his first ten bouts ending via finish, including his UFC debut. Since then, all three of his bouts inside the octagon have been dispiriting decisions. He’s got a cool mustache and a unique style, but it doesn’t make for a very fan-friendly style. He’s also lost two of three, so a loss could spell a release for him. That said, his opponent is even less appealing.
Omielanchuk has gone the distance in almost half of his 27 UFC bouts to date, and while he does have nine submission wins and three knockout wins, his fighting style is flat out ugly. I can definitely appreciate technical fights and tend to love them more often than not, but Omielanchuk’s fights aren’t even technical! They’re just boring. He’s had six fights in the UFC in three and a half years with the promotion, with only two of them ending in the first two rounds. He’s 3-3 in the UFC, so this could end his UFC career if he loses. I’d say Johnson would win via knockout, but Omielanchuk has never been knockout out. I’ll still hope for a finish, although I’m not confident we’ll get one here, unless it’s late in the fight, when both men are gassed and someone just collapses from exhaustion. Hopefully I’m wrong, and we wind up being treated to a great fight. Prediction: Johnson via decision or late tko.
Darren Stewart (7-0, 1 NC) vs. Francimar Barroso (18-5, 1 NC)
What’s a great way to follow up what should be a terrible fight? Not by having Francimar Barroso fight next, that’s what. Barroso may have a black belt in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing, as well as 14 finishes in 18 career wins, but his UFC career has been a bust. Each of his first four UFC bouts went the distance in what turned out to be terrible fights, before he got submitted by Nikita Krylov in the second round of a fight last year. Then, he faced Darren Stewart for the first time, with the bout ending via no contest due to an inadvertent headbutt just 94 seconds into the fight. So basically, he’s 3-2 with a no contest inside the octagon, with the sole high point being a quick no contest. The sooner he gets cut from the UFC and goes back to the regional circuit, the better. It’s better for his record, and for the fans as well.
As for Stewart, he’s s unbeaten with five knockout wins. He came into the UFC against Barroso, in a bout that, as mentioned, ended via quick no contest. He’s a solid prospect, and hopefully, he takes care of business today. Light Heavyweight needs more legitimate prospects, and less aging decision machines. If all goes right, Stewart should remain unbeaten come Sunday. Hopefully, that’s exactly what will happen Prediction: Stewart via tko, round 2.
Joe Duffy (16-2) vs. Reza Madadi (14-4)
While the previous two prelim bouts could be relatively lackluster, the headlining prelim could and should be quite fun. “Irish” Joe Duffy is entering the final fight of his UFC contract, after going 3-1 in his first four UFC bouts, with all three wins coming via first round finish. The man who was best known for quickly and easily submitting Conor McGregor back in the day, Duffy has black belts in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Taekwondo, with 12 first round finishes and 15 finishes in 16 career wins.
In his final UFC bout under his current contract, Duffy will take on Reza Madadi, a former Sweedish Freestyle Wrestling champion. Madadi is 3-2 in the UFC, with both his losses coming via decision, and each of his last two wins coming via third round finish. Of the five fighters he’s faced inside the octagon, the only one who’s still in the UFC is Michael Johson, whom Madadi faced back in April 2013. He’s won eight times via submission, as well as three times via knockout and submission wins apiece. He’s also never been finished. That said, he’s never faced anyone like Duffy before. I believe Duffy is clearly better than anyone Madadi has ever faced, and he’ll also be looking to make a statement in his final UFC bout under his current contract. Madadi may have never been finished prior to this bout, but I see that changing today. Prediction: Duffy via submission, round 2.

Improving the Achievement of Hispanic Students
In today’s American school systems, Hispanics are among the most at-risk in the student population. They are less likely to finish high school and even fewer go on to enroll in college, let alone graduate from a higher education program. The number of Hispanic students is constantly growing, especially in urban schools, and most of those schools are desperately trying to create programs and systems to help accommodate the large number of English language learners. Those students’ scores are drastically lower than English speaking students. A study by the National Center for Education Statistics found that three out of four 8th graders are not able to pass a simple math test that includes …show more content…
I simply want to be a teacher that makes a difference in the school. I want to be a positive influence, not only on my students but on other staff in the school as well. This article explained many great points that those six schools stand by in creating a successful environment for their Hispanic students and I, as a teacher leader, want to take those suggestions and use them and create an environment in my future school that is welcoming and accepting to English language learners. I truly believe that every child has great potential, they just need the proper education to be able to reach out and achieve their goals. As an elementary education major, reading about people who are determined to make a positive change in our schools is restorative to my hope for our students’ futures. The statistics in this article are eye-opening. I did not realize how small of a percentage of Hispanic students were actually successful in testing, graduating high school, and moving on to college. I also had never thought about how few Hispanic teachers there are. Having only white teachers in the school minimizes the chance for Hispanic students to find a connection or a role model. In action two, the article suggested that the school could invite Hispanic graduates back as encouragement to the students. Reading about that sparked an idea in my head that a legitimate program could be established where dual-language Hispanic students in upper grades could make weekly visits to the lower grades to help with homework or class time. It would be similar to the Study Buddy program or the Chums program where a student in a higher grade serves as a one-on-one mentor to a struggling English language learner in a lower grade, whether that be Kindergarten or 10th grade. I know that if a school has enough dedication and staff members who genuinely want to see a

This is help the teachers understand some of the difficulties that the students face in their neighborhoods, since most of the faculty and staff live in areas outside the school community. • Create programs to help students to overcome language, academic and behavioral barriers that sometimes interfere with students learning. I might also make sure that there were bilingual instructors on staff to teach foreign languages and ESL classes. • Include various programs, displays, and learning units on and about multicultural holidays. I would use this as a means to remove obstacles standing in the way of establishing a positive school
Salgado acknowledge studies on complexities of Latino youth transitions from middle to high schools with concerns declining grades, and concerns of low college graduate status. Although determining results are said to be unknown at the present time research studies are being conducted for transition variations. Gender differences with Latino families could contain a probable cause to the outcomes of school performances at the time of stated transitions, along with other measures such as instructor’s expectations between youth boys and girls. After the gathering of information through various studies conducted on diversities of Latino youth transition period from middle school to high schools, notification of studies could suggest several implications
Ideally schools would provide equal education and opportunities for all children, but in reality racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of discrimination still exist, albeit more hidden, in our schools today. Rather than stressing academic enrichment, the elementary schools that Chicanas/os attend to focus on academic remediation and a deceleration of the curriculum. The primary curriculum itself generally excludes or minimizes Chicana/o experiences, while also reinforcing
The Hispanic Student Association, or HSA for short, was founded in 1999 by Nestor "Ito" Rodriguez the former president of HSA. Who is now currently the head of the Hispanic alumni council and married to Jaclyn Rodriguez. The organization is located on the main campus in the university center (UC) through the involvement zone in room 221. The purpose of HSA is to spread and demonstrate to other students the marvels of the Hispanic culture and to enrich their minds of the cultural diversity that is around them. To accomplish this HSA does many social events and gatherings, such as the St. Jude walk/run and Hispanic heritage month, which allows students of any background to come and enjoy the Hispanic culture in a safe and discrimination free
The state’s legislature must come up with a solution to fix this issue that the majority of the citizens are clearly concerned about. Franco Estrada, the first one to be interviewed commented that adjustments in our educational standards are required in order to prepare our students to be twenty-first century workers. After that comment was made, he also acknowledged that although it is hard to change how all of Texas’s schools systems work, change is still possible. In retrospect, education is the children’s future, and it’s important for the people living in Texas to be assured that they will be seeing an improved educational system because one way or another they will be
Latinos are making drastic changes to the Latino threat narrative and making a difference in education and politics. The empowerment of the Latino population is derived from education; continued education for all generations is the key to success for Latinos. Latinos will strive and change standards for their population in the United
In this practicum I will narrate an interview that was done with a Hispanic parent. I will describe her and her family structure. I will also elaborate on her involvements in her children academics, and teacher parent relationship. Also better ways to encourage parents to get involved in their children education will be added, and how teachers can assist with making the parents feel welcomed inside of the classroom.
The researchers from the study concluded that based on what they survey participants voted that, ‘when we analyzed this perception with beliefs about Latino inequality, the same relationship found for beliefs about African American inequality appeared also: These respondents tend to agree that Latinos do not work hard enough to improve their life circumstances”.15 What many white students attending those universities do not understand that it is not the fault of the minority student’s effort in college, but rather it is the environment the student grew up in. In dominantly Latino and Black communities there are not many resources for
According to Voight’s, Hanson’s, O’Malley’s, and Adekanye’s study, many black children reported of having less favorable relationship between their white instructors compared to white students, while black and hispanic instructors tend to have a steady report of positive relationship and attitude with their students from all races (Voight, Hanson, O’Malley, Adekanye, 2015). Moreover, in a sample from the Texas school districts, districts with more Hispanic and Black teachers have better success in their students’ academic performance for all races, compared to districts that have a larger number of white instructors (Voight, Hanson, O’Malley, Adekanye, 2015). This goes back to the discrepancies in a student-teacher relationship when both parties do not share the same understanding of each other’s background and cultures. The rift in the relationship is mended when a mutual understanding manifests between the two. Hispanic and Black instructors already have a similar background with the current students, which makes their attitude towards these groups more sympathetics and understanding compared to a white teacher who may had the mainstream
Born and raised in Santa Barbra California, Peter Giovani Petatan have lived 21 years of his life in the U.S. along with his mother and father who were born and raised in Mexico. Although born and raised in California Peter and his family currently reside in Macon, GA. Now as a college student this has been the first time he has ever lived outside of home. Nevertheless, he feels as if he’s able to adapt to this new environment effortlessly in terms of the university and community.
Martha Peraza SOC 3340 Inequality in Education California State University, Bakersfield Abstract In the United States, there exists a gap in equality for different demographics of students. The factors contributing to educational disadvantages include socioeconomic struggles, gender of students, language or culture, and particularly for the scope of this paper, race.
Thus, we talk about the disadvantages and mainly the advantages of being a Hispanic student applying to college. Also, he explains that being Hispanic is very helpful in finding colleges; as a result of that college seek out for Hispanic students.

An education should be a priority to all students and we, as the Latino community, must reshape the policy flaws to establish a foundation that will help the growing Latino community. From my own personal experience,
According to Jarmel and Schneider (2010), by the year 2025, one-third of students attending public schools will not know English when they start Kindergarten. How will schools adapt to this? Will teachers and/or students be limited on what they can teach/learn throughout the school year because of time restraints? In a documentary Speaking in Tongues, directed by Jarmel & Schneider (2010), four students who range from Kindergarten to eighth grade, showcase their experiences about attending public school around the San Francisco area to become bilingual. The four students Durrell, Jason, Julian, and Kelly are taught in English and also in a second language such as Mandarin, Spanish, Chinese, and Cantonese.

To ensure graduates are as prepared as possible to enter the workforce, WPI requires each senior to complete a Major Qualifying Project (MQP). Often working with sponsor organizations, students apply the theory and practice they acquire during their undergraduate years to technical projects in their major course of study. The goal is to use the university’s founding tenets to earn mastery in their field and make a positive impact beyond the iconic towers of Boynton Hall and Washburn Shops.
The culmination of the MQP consists of successfully communicating the project’s learning outcomes, which include an understanding of the scientific, social, and ethical dimensions of the problem as well as clearly demonstrating knowledge appropriate to the student’s specific major. For their MQP, Nathan Bargman ’22, Kaitlyn Fisher ’22, Mary Marquette ’22, Garett Ruping ‘22, Conrad Tulig ‘22, and Lauren Wach ’22 worked to develop a robot that sorts cardboard for recycling.
Under the premise that a growing global population and recently imposed higher material purity standards require more efficient waste-sorting methods, Bargman and Fisher’s MQP looked for an automated solution to this pressing problem. Reflecting on his MQP experience, Bargman says, “As with most of WPI’s project-based learning, getting to work together with a team to produce something that can have a real impact on the world is a powerful experience.” He added, “Having the ability to get our hands on and build upon a physical system was exciting and rewarding as we developed the robot throughout the year.”
MQPs provide students with value on multiple fronts. In this case, the team members gained a deeper understanding of the current global waste problem and their role in solving that problem. “Through research it is evident that cities across the United States have a long way to go to match the highest levels of recycling elsewhere in the world. Innovation is a difficult and lengthy process and through our MQP that became clear to us,” says Bargman. Additionally, he noted the MQP serves not only as the foundation on which to build a professional career, but also develops WPI students into high-level and sought-after job candidates.
