two major settings in the child's life. Common rewards, reinforcement strategies, and language help to promote consistency across settings. Bos et al. (1999) reported that collaborative partnerships between home and school were especially important during the initial assessment of the child's disability and educational needs, the development of behav Read more

1. Planning and requirements During this step in the iterative process, you will define your project plan and align on your overall project objectives. This is the stage where you will outline any hard requirements—things that must happen in order for your project to succeed. Without this step, you run the risk of iterating but not hitting your goals.  2. Analysis and design During this step, you and your team will focus on the business needs and technical requirements of your project. If step one was the process of outlining your goals, step two is when you brainstorm a design that will help you ultimately hit those goals.  Manage Agile teams with Asana 3. Implementation During the third step, your team will create the first iteration of your project deliverable. This iteration will be informed by your analysis and design, and should work to hit your ultimate project objective. The level of detail and time you spend on this iteration will depend on the project. 4. Testing Now that you have an iteration, you will test it in whatever way makes the most sense. If you’re working on an improvement to a web page, for example, you might want to A/B test it against your current web page. If you’re creating a new product or feature, consider doing usability testing with a set of potential customers.  In addition to testing, you should also check in with your project stakeholders. Ask them to weigh in on the iteration, and provide any feedback.  Read: What is the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle? 5. Evaluation and review  After testing, your team will evaluate the success of the iteration and align on anything that needs to change. Does this iteration achieve your project objectives? Why, or why not? If something needs to change, you can restart the iterative process by going back to step two to create the next iteration. Keep in mind that your initial planning and goals should remain the same for all iterations. Continue building upon the previous iteration until you get to a deliverable you’re happy with. If you restart the iterative process, make sure everyone is still aligned on your project goals. The iterative process can take weeks or months, depending on how many iterations you run through. Centering your iteration on your project objectives every time you restart the iterative process can help you ensure you don't lose track of your north star. Read more

Data science is an interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from noisy, structured and unstructured data, and apply knowledge and actionable insights from data across a broad range of application domains. Data science is related to data mining, machine learning and big data. Read more

The first computers were used primarily for numerical calculations. However, as any information can be numerically encoded, people soon realized that computers are capable of general-purpose information processing. Their capacity to handle large amounts of data has extended the range and accuracy of weather forecasting. Their speed has allowed them to make decisions about routing telephone connections through a network and to control mechanical systems such as automobiles, nuclear reactors, and robotic surgical tools. They are also cheap enough to be embedded in everyday appliances and to make clothes dryers and rice cookers “smart.”  Read more

Conserving water helps us by supplying more amount of water for longer usage. It has become necessary in all areas because these natural resources are reducing along with the increasing population and their usages. There are several ways to conserve water. Here are some important and easy ways for the conservation of water Keeping the tap closed when not in use. Check for the openings or leaks in water distribution pipes. Make sure to use collected rainwater for gardening or washing purpose. Always have a measure of how many buckets of water is wasted in a day and try to reduce. Do not run more water than necessary while washing and cleaning clothes, utensils, etc. Do not prolong your bathing. Go for a quick shower rather than wasting buckets of water Rainwater harvesting is one of the best method used for conserving water. There are different methods used to preserve rainwater instead of getting it wasted. Read more

Water occurs as a liquid on the surface of Earth under normal conditions, which makes it invaluable for transportation, for recreation, and as a habitat for a myriad of plants and animals. The fact that water is readily changed to a vapour (gas) allows it to be transported through the atmosphere from the oceans to inland areas where it condenses and, as rain, nourishes plant and animal life Read more

"There are very many functionalist approaches which have been put forward, and they are often very different from one another. Two prominent ones are Role-and-Reference Grammar (RRG), developed by William Foley and Robert Van Valin, and Systemic Linguistics (SL), developed by Michael Halliday. RRG approaches linguistic description by asking what communicative purposes need to be served and what grammatical devices are available to serve them. SL is chiefly interested in examining the structure of a large linguistic unit--a text or a discourse--and it attempts to integrate a great deal of structural information with other information (social information, for example) in the hope of constructing a coherent account of what speakers are doing. "Functionalist approaches have proved fruitful, but they are usually hard to formalize, and they often work with 'patterns,' 'preferences,' 'tendencies,' and 'choices,' in place of the explicit rules preferred by non-functional linguists."

Agricultural products is wheat. Wheat is a popular item used worldwide, and as a result, the U.S. has lost some of its share of the wheat market over the years. At the beginning of this century, the US portion of worldwide wheat exports were 25%, but by 2016/2017, they had dropped to about 15%. Examples of agricultural products in the “wheat” category include: Hard red winter Soft red winter Hard red spring White wheat Durum wheat The agricultural wheat products also create by-products, like bran or shorts, often used for livestock feed. In 2019, the United States created 1.92 billion bushels of wheat, a slight increase in agricultural wheat production over the last two years. In all the agricultural crops within the United States, wheat is the third most planted in terms of acreage and receipts.

Most of us can agree that agriculture of any variety is a worthwhile and noble pursuit. For most farmers, particularly those who are relatively inexperienced, it’s important to discuss the different types of farming you can choose from.Do you have extensive experience with livestock? If so, you may want to consider all of the types of farming you can select when it comes to livestock farming. For example, farming methods that include livestock may include raising poultry, pork, or beef. Other farmers may collect eggs from their hens while simultaneously using other types of farming practices in their spare time. The choices for agriculture involving livestock are just as numerous as those for growing. The second most common type of farming is growing food. Farming techniques in this category will vary depending on the area you live in and how much land you have. Some examples of popular crops include: Corn Fruit and tree nuts Rice Soybeans and oil crops Sugar and sweeteners Vegetables Wheat Read more

Primer text from the College of William & Mary.https://education.wm.edu/centers/ttac/documents/packets/adhd.pdf Many students with ADHD have significant difficulties with organization.    They are more likely to respond positively when teachers establish class routines and set procedures and maintain a well-organized learning environment.    Clear rules and advanced planning are keys to success for teachers of students with ADHD. The following organizational supports are particularly useful. Students should be taught to use these tools through teacher modeling and guided practice with feedback before being expected to use them more independently. Assignment Notebook: Provide the student with an assignment notebook to helporganize homework and seatwork.Color-Coded Folders: Provide the student with color-coded folders to helporganize assignments for different academic subjects.Homework Partners: Assign the student a partner who can help record Read more

Natural plant products have been used throughout human history forvarious purposes. Having co-evolved with animal life, many of the plants fromwhich these natural products are derived are billions of years old. Tens ofthousands of these products are produced and discovered since. Dyes areone of them. Fabric dye has been one of the common things used in these moderndays. But using it has also disadvantages to the environment. Therun-offfrom fabric dye pollutes water ways, and the dyes themselves are not sohealthy for workers who are around them day in and day out, either.There areways to prevent these harmful effects of using dye to both the environmentand human beings, and that is by using organic substances instead ofcommercialized products which utilizes toxic ingredients.           Read more
