6 Best Practices to Elevate IEPs
The individualized education program (IEP) is the seminal planning document for teaching students with disabilities, and the Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP) section should be its heart and soul.

You want to work hard in ensuring that every student — no matter their ability — gets a fair shot at success. In short, you chose to become a special education teacher because you care. Because it's a hard job and somebody has to do it; why shouldn't that somebody be as qualified and invested as you?

Superb performances were produced again on Saturday, as the nation's elite stars and rising prospects delivered in front of a lively crowd on the third and final day of the ASA Senior T&F and Combined Events Championships, held at Tuks Athletics Stadium in Tshwane.
World champion Caster Semenya displayed her fine form once more, charging to a commanding victory in the 800m Women final.
She stopped the clock at 1:57.80 for her quickest ever time on home soil, securing the 800m/1500m double and offered a glimpse of what can be expected from her at sea level ahead of her 1500m race at the final leg Meeting of the Liquid Telecom Athletix Grand Prix Series in Paarl next week.
"It's a great time. Obviously we always want to experience something new," Semenya said. "We need to try and run the same pace at home that we run in the European season. We're doing this for our people, and it's all about growing South African athletics."
Another global champion, Luvo Manyonga, catapulted himself 8.41m across the sand pit to win gold in the Long Jump Men, 20 centimetres clear of IAAF World Championships bronze medallist Ruswahl Samaai.
"I feel great, and happy to compete in front of a South African crowd," Manyonga said. "I'm happy with my performance today and it's my first outdoor (meeting of the season), so I'm excited for more competition."
Meanwhile, 17-year-old world youth champion Zeney van der Walt stunned the crowd by grabbing the silver medal in the 400m Men Hurdles final.
In a gutsy performance, she was edged out by Wenda Nel, who won gold in 55.01 seconds. Van der Walt held on for second place in 55.05*, breaking the SA Junior record of 55.74 set by Myrtle Bothma in Bloemfontein in April 1983.
"I just ran my own race and focussed on my own 10 hurdles," Van der Walt said. "This gives me a lot of confidence, and now I know I can reach my sub-55 goal."
Sprinter Justine Palframan won the 200m Women (22.97) and 400m (51.31) titles just 45 minutes apart. "It's not what I expected. Going into the 400m I tried not to be negative because my body was feeling a bit tired," Palframan said.
"When I crossed the line and saw '51', I had to look twice. "There's no way to explain it. I'm very excited."
In other events, Luxolo Adams won the 200m Men final in 20.08 after new national record holder Clarence Munyai withdrew and Lindsay Hanekom took the 400m Men Hurdles in 49.17, dragging five men under the 50-second barrier.
In the morning session, Wayne Snyman won the 20km Men Race Walk in 1:24:58 in cold and wet conditions, in the absence of SA record holder Lebogang Shange who withdrew from the event for personal reasons.

Ever since I finished D'Agata's About a Mountain, and I've been thinking about the book-length essay. Mainly, I've been wondering if such a thing exists.
About a Mountain reads like a series of well-linked essays (keeping the momentum of shorter work while tackling multiple, broad themes that seem wider in scope than what can be done in 20 pages), but I don't know if I can consider it an essay in and of itself. Another example of this is found in Eula Biss's The Balloonists, which reads like a 120 page braided, personal essay. With that said, there are bigger organization principles that amount to chapters, so would we call this a memoir, rather than personal essay? Is there a difference? Does it even matter?
I'm not making any real conclusions here, but I would like to try and generate some discussion here: How do we (or don't we) define the book-length essay? Other good examples out there?
Have you read Maggie Nelson's *bluets*? I'm just wondering how you might categorize it, given the parameters that you're thinking about. I'd be interested to know what you conclude. It's a great read. I taught it in my Graduate Poetry course and my undergraduate Advanced Nonfiction Theory course.
To my mind, one of the classic book-length essays is the James Agee / Walker Evans text, /Let Us Now Praise Famous Men/. For a book to qualify for this reader there has to be a real sense of book as its own project, with its own sense of structure. Far too often writers seem happy to just throw together a bunch of essays and call it a collection, as if there's not art in the compilation, the ordering, and the editing that should talk place after you assemble essays. I read John's book as a book-length essay, albeit, yeah, it's divided into sections/chapters. It doesn't really read as a memoir in any real way, though there's memoir components working in it. And polemic. I haven't read that Maggie Nelson book though this is the second time this week somebody's mentioned it which suggests it's about time to pick it up.
Does the book-length essay have to be short in order to consider it an essay?
The one thing I like about this discussion is that it seems like, for a lot of mfa types and other students of writing (esp nf) the options appear to them to be (1) memoir; (2) collection of essays; and (3) uhhhh... so thinking about book-essays is helpful.
Oh, I think I'd argue for a couple of Lisa Robertson's books (particularly THE WEATHER) being pretty good examples of the book-length essay, albeit on the lyric side of the tracks, which we all know is the uncool side of the tracks.
John was in town last night. We decided "font size."
Excellent, I haven't read this yet, but I just ordered a copy (I'll probably report back on here with some thoughts).
A- It's funny you mention /Let us Now Praise Famous Men/, as I started re-reading it about a week ago.
I don't think it necessarily has to be short, but I do think it needs to read like it's short, if that makes sense. I think the essay, despite it's ability to meander, still feels more focused in the moment than memoir. You don't see as much set up/exposition ("Looking back, I...") in an essay, for example.
Agreeing with the 3rd point as well: my thesis is a collection of essays that feel connected to me, but apparently they don't read that way to anyone else. I've been thinking a lot about book-length essays lately, mainly because I'm trying to figure out the best way to weave my shorter works into something that better accumulates.
bigger=better? I'll start submitting work in 36-point!
Why does it have to read like it's short? Do you mean that it should have some kind of formal element that unifies it? Or that it simply has to read like a /project,/ and not a bunch of projects stuck together?
Yeah, mainly I think it has to read like a project.
I fear I may be venturing into more of an essay/memoir comparison, but the essay (including book-length) usually feels like a series of events that gradually build in some unexpected fashion. Memoir, although also a series of events, typically seems to build toward a foregone conclusion. For example, I can read the first 15 pages of /The Duke of Deception/ and tell you, regardless of any surprises along the way, that I'm going to be reading primarily about a complicated father/son relationship.
I think it's the essay's ability to jump around that makes it "read like it's short," since individual scenes/sections tend to feel more self-contained.
I'm thinking it has to do with the capacity of a brain, too. And the essay has a lot to do with brain, in that it is the form that most accurately models the way in which we think (or maybe I should say it most accurately simulates the way that a particular essayist's brain does its thinking thing). So if we think of a book as an essay we might want to think of it as (possibly) being held within one brain, possibly in one sitting, possibly in one movement. Which is why it's easier for this reader anyhow to track some more poetic essays, since the style can act as a clear formal unifier.
I agree with you that the movement of an essay is different than the movement of a memoir. That it is more brainlike. Which means probably (or apparently) unpredictable. Which makes stream of consciousness as a fictional technique a very essayish move.

Information for parents/family members/friends of a child, adolescent or young person who has experienced a natural disaster.
Natural disasters are inevitable but uncommon. Everyone needs some support after being in, or witnessing a natural disaster, but everyone is different so the type or level of support they need is different and changes over time. If you are reading this fact sheet you are likely to be aware that it is important to seek support following natural disasters. It's great you want to support your child/young person. headspace encourages you to make sure you are also supporting yourself.
People who have survived a natural disaster often feel a sense of grief and loss, but there are no 'right' or 'wrong' feelings and they can vary markedly from one person to another. You may be supporting a child who has lost family members, friends, neighbours, pets, their homes and cherished possessions. Young people sometimes have trouble explaining their feelings, and they may seem 'cut off' or bewildered. They might feel they cannot grieve openly, particularly if others seem to have lost even more.
Trying to understand a natural disaster can be confusing, especially for young people. This can make them feel angrier and more frightened as the days go by. Sometimes survivors of a disaster feel guilty that they have survived while others have not. Younger children sometimes feel a sense of personal responsibility, as if they caused the disaster in some way. Young people may feel ashamed of how they are feeling, and withdraw from other people or hide their feelings.
Sometimes people feel anxious, frightened and unsafe for weeks or months after the disaster, despite being physically safe. This is a normal reaction to a frightening event, but it can add to a person's distress.
Young people can 'act out' when they are grieving or traumatised. They can become aggressive or irritable, and start having problems at school. Alternatively, they might become withdrawn and 'clingy', and find it hard to separate themselves from family members.
Children might develop physical complaints like stomach aches and headaches in response to their distress. Some adolescents may self-harm, use drugs or alcohol, or develop eating disorders as a response to their emotions.
Guilt about not being able to shield your child from the effects of the disaster.
Fear and anxiety about the continuing safety of your child.
Negativity about the world in general, which you may not be able to conceal from your child.
Impatience and frustration about your child making a slow recovery.
Maintain some regular activities and encourage your child to eat, rest and sleep well. Explain what will happen today and the next day, as best you can, and write down a plan to remind them. Provide as much security as possible, by being around, giving your child time to talk, and by developing some comforting routines. Involve your child in choosing new belongings, and perhaps remember old toys and other treasured possessions with a 'goodbye ceremony'.
Tell your child about what is being done to help the whole community. When possible, reassure them that their friends and other family members are safe, and contact them if you can.
It can be a relief for young people to know that their feelings are normal, but be careful to acknowledge and respect their emotions. Do not dismiss or minimise the intensity and importance of their reactions.
When your child is calm and feeling safe you can talk about how natural disasters are random and unpredictable. Correct any confused explanations of the disaster your child may have.
Give your child the chance to talk about what they miss and what they have lost, but do not push them to talk. Acknowledge that what has happened is not 'fair'. If you have lost loved ones, tell them enough details so there are no 'secrets', without causing extra distress.
Young children might need only a small amount of information, but they do need reassurance that natural disasters are uncommon and they are now safe. Try not to discuss worrying 'adult' issues about the disaster in front of young children.
Talk about the strengths you know your child has, and how they can use them. For example, they might like to draw or tell stories, so let them do this to explain what has happened and how they are feeling. It's quite okay to talk about how the disaster has affected you, and how you are trying to get life back on track.
Make time to be with your child, to do normal things, and to have some quiet time with them. Try to be available emotionally, although this can sometimes be hard when you, too, have a lot to cope with. If you seem anxious, it can reinforce their view that the world is unsafe. At the same time, allow your child some space, and some time to themselves.
Encourage your child to step back from their problems or negative feelings and think of ways to reduce their distress. Help them work out ways to solve problems, and find ways to relax and reduce their anxiety.
Look after yourself and be true to how you feel. Try to keep your life as structured as possible. If you can, put off big decisions until you feel more stable. Get enough rest, and talk with friends, family and health professionals if you're feeling overwhelmed. Don't forget that caregivers need care too.
You should think about getting help if your child is having difficulties more than about six weeks after the disaster, or is not functioning well in normal activities. Services such as your local doctor, community health centre, school counsellor or local mental health service can provide advice and assistance.
Seek immediate help if you think your child is at risk, for example of self-harm. Call your local hospital, emergency services, Lifeline (13 11 14) or Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800).
It's normal to experience sadness and to grieve after loss. But that doesn't make it easy. Some people say grief is the most powerful thing that can be experienced in everyday life.

9. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
February 26, 2021 Debenture
On February 26, 2021, the Company entered into a convertible note for the principal amount of $720,000, with an original issue discount of $120,000, convertible into shares of common stock of the Company. The note bears interest of 12% and is due six months from the date of issuance. The note is convertible from the date of issuance, at a fixed conversion rate of $0.36. The conversion rate shall change to $0.10 upon the event of default. The conversion feature at issuance meets the definition of conventional convertible debt and therefore qualifies for the scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) and would not be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability. The Company analyzed the conversion feature under ASC 470-20, "Debt with conversion and other options", and based on the market price of the common stock of the Company on the date of funding as compared to the conversion price, determined there was an approximately $164,000 beneficial conversion feature to recognize, which will be amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method. The amortization of the beneficial conversion feature was $27,273 and the original issuance discount was $20,000, for the year ended March 31, 2021. On April 16, 2021, the Company settled the convertible note, consisting of $720,000 in principal, approximately $13,000 in accrued interest, and approximately $110,000 in redemption fee, for a total of $842,972. The Company paid $421,486 in cash, and settled the remaining balance through the conversion into the issuance of 1,303,982 common shares.

Also includes descriptions and amounts of capital leasing arrangements that consist of direct financing, sales type and leveraged leases. Disclosure may include the effect on the balance sheet and the income statement resulting from a change in lease classification for leases that at inception would have been classified differently had guidance been in effect at the inception of the original lease.

Vatican Is Actually A Closeted Baby Killing Organization
Vatican Invested 20 + years in Two Companies that Produced the Morning-After Pill
Leo Zagami – The Vatican has invested for over 20 years in an industry that produced the morning-after pill. This shocking news was revealed last night by Italian state TV on the well-known investigative news show Report that showed how the Vatican Secretariat of State owned shares worth approximately 20 million euro in two pharmaceutical companies that produced the emergency contraceptive drug in open contravention of the rules of the Holy See that strongly condemn any kind of partnership with companies that are linked to contraceptives or abortion methods.
The Vatican's position in this regard has always been quite clear since the pill in question became available in Italy. While acknowledging that the morning-after pill is a contraceptive drug and not an abortive drug, the Vatican openly asked doctors to object to the prescription of this drug, showing their usual hypocrisy after this latest scandal.
Libero Milone who used to be auditor general of the Vatican at the time and denounced the situation to the Pope in 2015, confirmed to the investigative news show Report that he pushed the Vatican to immediately sell the quotes in the two pharmaceutical companies.

Partnering with Paul (Southern Collaborative) has truly been life changing. As a 'Mompreneur' my professionally-focused time is limited and precious and Paul has made the most of every meeting! I will continue to partner with Paul as my natural living business evolves so that I am challenged to grow and change with my audiences' needs. The experience you can expect from Paul/SoCo can be summed up in four areas: Tailored, Actionable, Progressive and provides an Immediate Return.
Tailored: Paul took the time to learn about me, my strengths, my vision, my time commitment and my long and short term goals. He also worked to understand the industry I am in as well as competitors and the target market. Each interaction has been unique to me and my business. Paul is honest and direct but in a style that motivates me. He's not saying what I want to hear always, but always what I need to hear! I'm a startup and Paul truly understands my vision even when I'm unable to articulate it. He's helped synthesize different data points and ideas which has further defined my go-to-market plan.
Actionable: My hesitation in hiring a consultant is being told things I already know I need to do with no help on taking immediate action. To my surprise, Paul does exactly the opposite, he provides ideas, suggestions and feedback that is immediately actionable because he's already done the research or has the experience and is able to apply it to my business and scenario. He gives strategic yet detailed advice and applies both personal and professional goals to his recommendations. In one instance, I talked to Paul in the morning and by the afternoon I was on my way to making the adjustments we discussed.
Progressive: Paul is a creative, progressive thinker who is immersed in the trends and tools of today's consumer. He challenges and helps me to build my business to be anything but the norm and he has completed my vision by applying ideas to create a competitive advantage. Paul is always evolving himself and stays attuned to movers in entrepreneurship. Because of this, he provides resource suggestions that he's actually used and that are applicable. He's recommended audiobooks, websites, newsletters, etc. of thought leaders who are addressing the challenges I'm facing right at this moment. When he suggests it, I follow because the recommendations have suited exactly the need I had at the time.
Immediate Return: The sum of the first three attributes I mentioned mean that I've been able to see immediate return. Paul's recommendations and advice are specific to my business, detailed enough to get me working down the path to change immediately and progressive enough for me to be confident that it's worth the time and investment. My business has grown and evolved in my short time working with Paul and future returns are imminent!
Paul is "in it" with me and is invested in the success of my business as though it is his own. I'm so grateful to have him alongside me through this journey and I'd recommend to anyone (except my competitors!) :).

John Bentham Morris (9 January 1933 – 9 January 1970) was a New Zealand cricketer and orthopaedic surgeon.

Life and career
Morris was born in London in January 1933, the son of an orthopaedic surgeon, and his family moved to New Zealand when he was a boy. He was educated at King's College, Auckland, and the University of Otago, where he graduated in medicine in 1956. He furthered his orthopaedic training in the UK and the US before returning to New Zealand and taking up the position of orthopaedic surgeon at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland. He and his Middlemore Hospital colleague Ross Nicholson pioneered hip replacement surgery in New Zealand. He died of illness in January 1970, survived by his wife and their three children.

Morris played 23 first-class matches for Auckland between 1951 and 1957. A right-handed middle-order batsman, he scored 45 and 103 in Auckland's victory over Wellington in the 1953-54 Plunket Shield. His other first-class century was 101 not out in Auckland's victory over Central Districts in the 1952-53 Plunket Shield. He was Auckland's leading scorer in the 1954-55 Plunket Shield, with 280 runs at an average of 35.00. He played for North Island in a trial match before the Test series against England in 1954-55 and scored 34, but was not selected for the Test team.

Q: Fixing hook call outside of the body of a function component I made a custom ReactJS hook to handle a couple of specific mouse events, as below:
const HealthcareServices = ({
  filterToRemove,
  filters,
  onChange,
  onClear,
  selectedAmbulatoryCareFilterValue,
  shouldClear,
}: Props): JSX.Element => {
  const classes = useStyles();
  ...

  useEffect(() => {
    shouldClear && clearFilters();
  }, [shouldClear]);

  const useSingleAndDoubleClick = (actionSimpleClick: () => void, actionDoubleClick: () => void, delay = 250) => {
    const [click, setClick] = useState(0);

    useEffect(() => {
      const timer = setTimeout(() => {
        // simple click
        if (click === 1) actionSimpleClick();
        setClick(0);
      }, delay);

      // the duration between this click and the previous one
      // is less than the value of delay = double-click
      if (click === 2) actionDoubleClick();

      return () => clearTimeout(timer);
    }, [click]);

    return () => setClick((prev) => prev + 1);
  };

  const handleSelectedItem = (service: Filter) => {
    service.selected = !service.selected;
    setHealthcareServices([...healthcareServices]);
    onChange(healthcareServices);
  };

  const handleSingleClick = (service: Filter) => {
    console.log('single-click');
    if (service.isRequired) {
      service.checkedIcon = <Icons.CheckboxSingleClick />;
    }
    handleSelectedItem(service);
  };

  const handleDoubleClick = (service: Filter) => {
    console.log('double-click');
    if (service.isRequired) {
      service.checkedIcon = <Icons.CheckboxDoubleClick />;
    }
    handleSelectedItem(service);
  };

  const handleClick = (service: Filter) =>
    useSingleAndDoubleClick(
      () => handleSingleClick(service),
      () => handleDoubleClick(service)
    );
  ...

  return (

      ...

        {filters.map((filter) => (
          <div key={`${filter.label}-${filter.value}`} className={classes.filter}>
            <Checkbox
              label={filter.label}
              className={classes.checkbox}
              checked={filter.selected}
              onChange={() => handleClick(filter)}
              checkedIcon={filter.checkedIcon}
            />

        ))}

      ...

  );
};

When I click on my <Checkbox />, the whole thing crashes. The error is:
The top of my stacktrace points to useState inside my hook. If I move it outside, so the hook looks as:
const [click, setClick] = useState(0);

const useSingleAndDoubleClick = (actionSimpleClick: () => void, actionDoubleClick: () => void, delay = 250) => {

    useEffect(() => {
      const timer = setTimeout(() => {
        // simple click
        if (click === 1) actionSimpleClick();
        setClick(0);
      }, delay);

      // the duration between this click and the previous one
      // is less than the value of delay = double-click
      if (click === 2) actionDoubleClick();

      return () => clearTimeout(timer);
    }, [click]);

    return () => setClick((prev) => prev + 1);
  };

The problem still happens, only the stacktrace points to the useEffect hook. The code is based on another answer here.
Any suggestions?

A: You've defined your useSingleAndDoubleClick hook inside of a component. That's not what you want to do. The idea of custom hooks is that you can move logic outside of your components that could otherwise only happen inside of them. This helps with code reuse.
There is no use for a hook being defined inside a function, as the magic of hooks is that they give you access to state variables and such things that are usually only allowed to be interacted with inside function components.
You either need to define your hook outside the component and call it inside the component, or remove the definition of useSingleAndDoubleClick and just do everything inside the component.
EDIT: One more note to help clarify: the rule that you've really broken here is that you've called other hooks (ie, useState, useEffect) inside your useSingleAndDoubleClick function. Even though it's called useSingleAndDoubleClick, it's not actually a hook, because it's not being created or called like a hook. Therefore, you are not allowed to call other hooks inside of it.
EDIT: I mentioned this earlier, but here's an example that could work of moving the hook definition outside the function:
EDIT: Also had to change where you call the hook: you can't call the hook in a nested function, but I don't think you need to.
const useSingleAndDoubleClick = (actionSimpleClick: () => void, actionDoubleClick: () => void, delay = 250) => {
    const [click, setClick] = useState(0);

    useEffect(() => {
      const timer = setTimeout(() => {
        // simple click
        if (click === 1) actionSimpleClick();
        setClick(0);
      }, delay);

      // the duration between this click and the previous one
      // is less than the value of delay = double-click
      if (click === 2) actionDoubleClick();

      return () => clearTimeout(timer);
    }, [click]);

    return () => setClick((prev) => prev + 1);
  };

const HealthcareServices = ({
  filterToRemove,
  filters,
  onChange,
  onClear,
  selectedAmbulatoryCareFilterValue,
  shouldClear,
}: Props): JSX.Element => {
  const classes = useStyles();
  ...

  useEffect(() => {
    shouldClear && clearFilters();
  }, [shouldClear]);
  // your other handlers

  // changed this - don't call the hook inside the function.
  // your hook is returning the handler you want anyways, I think
  const handleClick = useSingleAndDoubleClick(handleSingleClick, handleDoubleClick)

This set (except maybe the hat) uses the Green variant of the "C1 Robe" artwork and forms a complete two- or three-piece set of the art (depending on your point of view regarding the hat, see below).
Regarding the hat: while the listed hat does use artwork that is labelled as the Green variant of "C1 Robe", it doesn't match the colour and style of the robes all that well and I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to match. It's not too horrible, it just doesn't seem to be intended. But decide for yourself. Note that for all other colour variants of this set, except Purple, the hats do seem to be intended to match, as their colours are a bit closer to the robe colours and the hat band is a distorted version of the hem pattern. I'm not sure why they didn't produce these for Green and Purple.
Darkmoon Wizards wear this set.


Spelthorne Talking News provides a free weekly audio magazine for blind and partially sighted people living in or adjacent to Spelthorne.
We were founded in 1977 by the Shepperton film producer, Jimmy Wright, who was himself blind after his aircraft crashed in World War II. The team of volunteers read items from the current week's Surrey Advertiser series of papers and we also include announcements, interviews, talks and other items of local interest.
The programme is recorded on Thursday each week. We make copies on Friday and every listener should receive the "Newspaper on a CD" in Saturday's post.
We have around 50 volunteers who compile, present, read, record and copy the weekly audio newspaper that is sent to more than 100 listeners every week. We are always in need of more volunteers to provide the service.
or you can call us on 07591 914690. This number is not manned but is checked once every 24 hours. Please leave a message, with your name, telephone number and reason for contacting us, and someone will get back to you. Since we are all volunteers this may take a few days.

Demystifying Antioxidants and Free Radicals
If you're visiting this site, chances are you've probably heard of antioxidants. And you probably understand that they are a good thing, and protect you from these other things, free radicals, which are a bad thing. But, if you're anything like the rest of our team, before they started working at Alder New York, you're a little unclear on the nuts-and-bolts of those two terms. It turns out, they're a super important component to effective skin and haircare products. Read on to find out exactly why they're so integral, in layman's terms- I promise.
Nasty Litte Radicals
In order to understand antioxidants, we need to understand their (and also our) enemy: free radicals. Free radicals are produced when our skin is exposed to smoke, sun, UV rays, pollution, and a host of other things that come with living on planet earth, and they wreak havoc on our bodies.
Our world is made up of molecules- electrically neutral groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. But free radials are molecules with an unpaired electron, which makes them unstable. So, they are constantly searching for another electron, in order to balance themselves. To do this, they seek out the closest healthy cell they can find to steal an electron from. But guess what happens to the healthy cell whose electron was just stolen? Now it needs to steal an electron from another healthy cell. And so the cycle continues, damaging cell after cell.
The Hands of Time
When we're younger, free radicals are less of a concern, because our body has a natural defense system called the superoxide dismutase (SOD) that keeps them under control. But as we age, the SOD becomes less effective, which means the free radicals can do their dirty work. Basically, our skin (and hair, and DNA) is in a constant battle with the free radicals that cause visible damage and aging.
This is where antioxidants come in. These are stable cells with the ability to donate an electron, while still staying balanced themselves. They're basically little miracle cells, that can slow down free radical damage before it escalates out of control.
Get Thee some Antioxidants!
So, where to get these miracle guys? Antioxidants are found heavily in all those branded "super" fruits and vegetables like blueberries, spinach, kale, and pineapple. They're also found in certain vitamins, like C and E. While scientists have not been able to find definitive evidence that extracted antioxidants by themselves can stop cell damage, they have found huge amounts of evidence to support that eating whole foods that contain them do.
So what does this mean for us on the skin and haircare end of things? Since fruits, veggies, and vitamins rich in antioxidants help to protect against cell damage, keep your eye out for products that use them. We're huge fans of Youth to the People's Face Cream and Cleanser, both of which use Kale and Spinach (high in the antioxidant beta-carotene) to their best advantage. I also like to slather my face in Alder New York's Matcha & Honey Face Mask every week for the same anti-oxidant benefits. While science hasn't figured out a way to keep us wrinkle free forever (yet), it never hurts to give nature a little boost in extending the hands of time.

I recently made the final payment on my car loan. If you've ever paid off a car loan, you know making that final payment provides a sense of relief much like that of having a bear trap removed from your ankle after you spent five and a half years sending piles of money to the bear trap every month.
This occasion is notable for another reason: I've now gone five and a half years without staging my own impromptu demolition derby on the roads of Michigan. Prior to this magical stretch, my driving record wasn't just checkered; it was completely charred. I once even had my license suspended because the guy at the Secretary of State thought my Euphemism-Americanness was affecting my driving. A doctor decided otherwise, so I got back on the road.
Of course, unpleasant circumstances can provide valuable lessons. To celebrate both the end of my car loan and the continued drivability of my current vehicle, I've compiled a few important lessons my accidents taught me.
If you're going to cry over something, cry over that $120 ticket you just got for running into another car.
My first accident was the direct result of my taking my eyes off the road to tend to the beverage that had just tipped over, a problem that occurred because my first car didn't have cupholders. Yes, that beverage was milk. And no, nothing in this paragraph is a joke. I would never joke about a tragic lack of cupholders.
The good news: the milk didn't spill.
If you find that broken-down car on the highway too interesting, you might join it.
I was driving on the interstate when, on the other side of the highway, I saw an eye-catching broken-down car on the other side of the highway. Since I'm not a lizard with two independent eyes, I didn't see traffic slowing down in front of me. Oops. But hey, if they didn't want them to be bumped, they wouldn't call them bumpers, right?
Oh, and that vehicle I was driving wasn't my car. It was my parents' minivan.
Even if you have to use your imagination.
My first car met its sad demise when I ran a stop sign, causing a collision with an SUV.
The good news: it was a residential street, so it was a low-speed collision.
The bad news: the SUV hit me square in the driver-side door, bringing the door several inches closer to me.
The worse news: the impact also knocked loose a brake line. In other words, it broke my brakes. Them's the breaks, eh?
The worser news: remember the lack of cupholders? Well, the impact also toppled a large Quizno's cup full of Coke, soaking the front passenger seat.
The even worser news: my Bible was on the front passenger seat. I guess that made it the High Fructose Gospel.
The worsest news: the man who hit me was an angry Indian man driving his brand new, fresh-off-the-dealer-lot Buick SUV with a temporary paper license plate. I'm fairly certain he was actually driving it home from the dealer. Talk about swift depreciation!
The most worstest news: The angry Indian man didn't have a cell phone, so he angrily asked to angrily use mine. Angrily.
When my car came to a stop, I realized I'd never again be opening my car door. Ever. When the angry Indian man approached, I also realized the drastically altered shape of my car door meant I'd never again be rolling down my window more than a couple inches. Ever. Ever ever. This led to the lone bright spot of the afternoon: to exit the vehicle, I popped out the sunroof and climbed out the top of the car like the star of some hip 1970s tv show. I felt so cool.
Well...I felt as cool as one can feel when he's climbing out of the car he just wrecked because he ran a stop sign.
I'll never ride with Burrill. Would you?

Bachelor degrees can now be earned in colleges. It is a timely change in Kazakhstan's educational system and a reaction to challenges of the new technical revolution. According to the International Standard Classification of Education, Bachelors of Applied Sciences degree is higher than the college graduates' degree but lower than University graduates' degrees.
- We began developing this program in 2016. We involved representatives of universities, colleges and potential employers in preparation of the methodology. At their enterprises, Bachelors of Applied Sciences undergo training and internship and they have more chances to be employed at these enterprises.
The so-called bachelors of applied sciences are assistant engineers. They have both the theoretical knowledge and experience in real work environments. The Astana College of Transport and Communications was the first to introduce the know-how. The educational institution and "Kasipkor" holding made an agreement. The college students have started training in computer sciences and software development. Starting from the new academic year, students will be trained on three levels.
- The training lasts longer than in average colleges and those who completed eleven grades can be admitted. There are several educational levels. First is a workers' qualification, then mid-level professionals – technicians that we train and Bachelor of Applied Sciences is a third level. Upon completion of the Bachelor of Applied Sciences degree, the graduates can work at enterprises. And they can quickly be promoted to the assistant engineer position.
The college management plans to train logistics specialists as well. They are currently developing a curriculum. But experts say that methodology alone is not enough. The necessary legal framework is also required. The college teachers hope that it will be ready by the beginning of the new academic year.
