  • Article by Vijaya: Food pyramid
    A food pyramid is a visual representation of a balanced diet, showing which food groups to eat more or less of. It typically categorizes foods into groups and suggests the optimal number of servings from each group to maintain health. The most well-known version is the one developed by the US Department of Agriculture, which has been revised and adapted by various countries. Key Features of a Food Pyramid: Base:Represents the food groups that should form the foundation of a healthy diet, consumed in larger quantities. Apex:Represents the food groups to be consumed in smaller amounts, typically fats, oils, and sweets. Middle Layers:Represent the other food groups like grains, fruits, vegetables, and protein sources, with varying recommendations for daily intake

  • 10 TIPS FOR MAINTAINING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND BODY WEIGHT
    At this extreme moment, we began working from home, away from campus, and keeping social distance for as many people as possible. As we stay home and are stuck with the foods that have been in our fridge or pantry for a while, we are temporarily living a sedentary lifestyle with increased odds of physical inactivity, excessive eating and sitting, stress, anxiety, and depression. In particular, many of us will gain some weight during the pandemic and may keep the extra weight permanently, which may carry considerable health risks for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and other health problems. Here, I’d like to share some basic tips and resources for how to maintain your healthy lifestyle, body weight, and overall well-being while staying home and engaging in social distancing. Measure and Watch Your Weight Keeping track of your body weight on a daily or weekly basis will help you see what you’re losing and/or what you’re gaining. Limit Unhealthy Foods and Eat Healthy Meals Do not forget to eat breakfast and choose a nutritious meal with more protein and fiber and less fat, sugar, and calories. For more information on weight-control foods and dietary recommendations, please check the following website: www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/obesity-causes/diet-and-weight/. Take Multivitamin Supplements To make sure you have sufficient levels of nutrients, taking a daily multivitamin supplement is a good idea, especially when you do not have a variety of vegetables and fruits at home. Many micronutrients are vital to your immune system, including vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, and E, as well as zinc, iron, copper, selenium, and magnesium. However, there’s currently NO available evidence that adding any supplements or “miracle mineral supplements” to your diet will help protect you from the virus or increase recovery. In some cases, high doses of vitamins can be bad for your health. Drink Water and Stay Hydrated, and Limit Sugared Beverages Drink water regularly to stay healthy, but there is NO evidence that drinking water frequently (e.g. every 15 minutes) can help prevent any viral infection. For more information on drinking water and coronavirus, please check the following EPA website: www.epa.gov/coronavirus/coronavirus-and-drinking-water-and-wastewater.

  • ADHD Students and Best Practices
    The requirements and qualifications for IDEA are more stringent than those of Section 504. IDEA provides funds to state education agencies for the purpose of providing special education and related services to children evaluated in accordance with IDEA and found to have at least one of the 13 specific categories of disabilities, and who thus need special education and related services. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder may be considered under the specific category of "Other Health Impairment" (OHI), if the disability results in limited strength, vitality, or alertness, including a

  • Legal Requirements for Identification of and Educational Services for Children With ADHD
    Two important federal mandates protect the rights of eligible children with ADHD-the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). The regulations implementing these laws are 34 CFR sections 300 and 104, respectively, which require school districts to provide a "free appropriate public education" to students who meet their eligibility criteria. Although a child with ADHD may not be eligible for services under IDEA, he or she may meet the requirements of Section 504.

  • Signs of Adult ADHD
      Verbal Redirection: Many students with ADHD require frequent redirection.Redirect students using clear, concise, and inconspicuously delivered verbal cuesto remind students of desired behaviors, rather than long explanations. Corrective Feedback: Some students with ADHD require brief, simplecorrection for disruptive behaviors. Correction should be directed at the student’sbehavior, not the student (e.g., “No shout-outs. Please raise your hand beforeanswering the question” vs. “stop being disruptive!”). Provide the feedbackimmediately following the behavior. Provide correction in a calm manner and inclose proximity to the student (Piffner, 2011). Avoid humiliating the studentwhen correcting his behavior. Options for Students: When providing corrective feedback or redirecting thestudent, it is often helpful to provide the student with options. For example, “Sue,you can do the assignment now, during lunch, or after school.”

  • COMPUTER SCIENCE VS. SOFTWARE ENGINEERIN
    Those interested in a career centered around software development and computer technology often focuses on one of two majors: computer science, or software engineering (sometimes referred to as software development, although the two are not synonymous). To be sure, earning an accredited degree in either of these fields will likely prepare a student for a variety of software-related roles. However, while these two fields of study have certain similarities, they are not one and the same; in fact, they have many subtle and obvious differences that set them apart. To better understand the distinctions, please read through our basic introduction and then see our side-by-side comparison below.
