As blatant sex discrimination in the workplace gave way to more covert forms of bias, a funny thing happened to women when we tried explaining the persistent lack of gender parity: We started blaming ourselves. Too often, we realized, we scale back our professional ambitions when work-life balance pressures start to mount. We mistake our offices for meritocracies, and neglect to hone the networking skills necessary for advancement. We lack confidence, eschew risk, and harm our own earnings potential by failing to be bold enough in salary negotiations.

Parents, students, and tutors trickle in back home from their hiking trails in the mountains, visits to the Smithsonian institution, or fancy vacation resort in Capo. Slowly but surely, they replace their thoughts of hiking to the sports curriculum, from the Smithsonian to understanding the science of physics or from Capo to learning intermediate Spanish. Sometimes they think "I can’t handle it" or "the transition it too much". But then, all have done it last year and their unconscious mind knows they will succeed this 2014 season as well. Yes, it is tough to make the switch to the busy school schedule. However, there is no better time than now to get a head start for the 2014 fall season.

Leung, 38, gave birth naturally to her daughter, weighing more than 2.7kg, in hospital at Victoria Peak on Saturday night, said Apple Daily. Her husband had sent her to hospital when she felt a sudden discomfort on Friday night. She shared a photo of the newborn's tiny hand clasping her finger, and another of the baby sleeping.

The School is committed to excellence in both teaching and performing.<br><br><br>In an alarming example of intersectionality and cluelessness colliding on the topic of the Nazi Holocaust, a principal at a Florida high school recently refused to acknowledge the murder of 6 million Jews as a factual historical event. In recent months, Americans have witnessed besotted middle schoolers playing Swastika beer pong, southern California junior hockey players giving the Sieg Heil, and a high school teacher who heaped praise on Hitler in a graduation yearbook. But the Boca Raton, Fla., incident involved an adult put in charge of educating and nurturing a few hundred American teens on the cusp of adulthood with all its responsibilities and potential. "Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened," Principal William Latson wrote to a parent concerned about how the Holocaust was being taught at Spanish River Community High School.<br><br><br>"I can’t say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in a position to do so as a school district employee," Latson said in an email to the mother of a student at the school. "You have your thoughts, but we are a public school, and not all of our parents have the same beliefs," he wrote. Mr. Latson has been removed from his job and given other (non-student related, we hope) tasks. For some, that’s not enough; they want him fired. We are more interested to learn from the ex-principal: What exactly were you thinking? Are you a Holocaust-denier? Do you believe that history should be treated as a College Advanced Placement exam with multiple correct answers?<br><br><br>As an "educator," do you believe that what you feel about history is more important than historic truths? To be sure, there are millions of parents who think the Holocaust should not be taught to their children and who don’t believe that the Nazis murdered 6 million Jews. But most of those people don’t live in democracies; they live under brutal regimes, perhaps in Iran, or under the sway of Islamist virulent Jew-hatred. Yet this might be the right time to restate why Holocaust education is so important right here in the United States. The mind-numbing statistics of this genocide should be only the beginning of the learning curve for young Americans. The most important lesson is to teach young people that there is good and evil in the world, and that each person is constantly challenged to choose between good, evil and apathy.<br><br><br>Young people need to be taught — and the adults guiding their lives need to be reminded — that the Nazis sought to destroy the Jewish people and obliterate values such as justice, fairness and empathy. They almost succeeded because of choices the perpetrators and bystanders made while their neighbors were hauled off to be killed. In the 21st century, these basic values of humanity remain under assault. Social media has bestowed to every individual a voice and a choice — to do good or to empower evil. The lessons of the past never have been more timely or relevant. We need educators and leaders who understand those lessons and have the capacity and wisdom to impart them to new generations. And let us all remember the words of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a wise former U.S.<br><br><br>It's clear that innovation isn't backing off and parents are not contradicted to improving their youngster's knowledge with innovation.

It doesn't make a difference to a baby or preschooler. They simply need to be near their folks. Give your kids a kick off to a legitimate education before they hit the classroom.

If not, I at least hope you received something from the videos I referenced. When it came to module five, it was complicated, but it is doable.

In fact, if you don’t understand the knowledge required to do F&P, you have to go back another module or two to understand it. There’s not much thinking involved relative to JavaScript. You set your property, then your value, and see what happens. Anyway, I struggled with methods a lot.<br>

Learning new languages is a natural instinct for children, and yet it becomes more difficult as we age. We might be at a disadvantage as adults, but with a few learning methods, you can still give yourself the best chance for learning a new language. This post originally appeared on the Crew Blog. I've been attempting to learn French for a while now, and it's a slow process. It's all much harder this time around than it was to learn English, my first language. All this effort made me wonder if there were some tricks to learning a foreign language that I'd been missing.<br><br><br>It turns out, it's just a tricky thing to do once you're an adult. Learning language is something we're born to do. To believe that special biological adaptations are a requirement, it is enough to notice that all the children but none of the dogs and cats in the house acquire language. As children, we learn to think, learn to communicate and intuitively pick up an understanding of grammar rules in our mother tongue, or native language. From then on, we learn all new languages in relation to the one we first knew—the one that we used to understand the world around us for the first time ever. Although language is something we learn, research has shown that the instinct to do so is present from birth.<br><br><br>Not only are we inclined to process and adopt language, but it seems that the human brain has common linguistic constraints, regardless of the language we've learned. Certain syllables, which aren't common in any language, are difficult for the brain to process, even in newborns who haven't started learning any language yet. When it comes to learning a second language, adults are at a disadvantage. As we age, our brain's plasticity (its ability to create new neurons and synapses) is reduced. Following brain damage that causes a loss of speech, for instance, researchers have observed that children are more likely to regain the power of speech, by creating new pathways in the brain to replace the damaged ones.<br><br><br>One theory of why learning a foreign language is so hard for adults focuses more on the process we go through to do so, rather than the loss of plasticity. Robert Bley-Vroman explains in Linguistic Perspectives on Second Language Acquisition that adults approach learning a new language with an adult problem-solving process, rather than in the same way a child develops language for the first time. Although this means adults generally progress through the early stages of learning a language faster than children, people who are exposed to a foreign language first during childhood usually achieve a higher proficiency than those who start out as adults. There's still hope, though. A study of secondary language pronunciation found that some learners who started as adults scored as well as native speakers.<br><br><br>It's also been shown that motivation to learn can improve proficiency, so if you really want to learn a language, it's not necessarily too late. If you want to put in the effort to learn a new language, try these methods that are known for improving learning and memory. Spaced repetition is a proven memory technique that helps you keep what you've learned strong in your mind. The way it works is you review each word or phrase you've learned in spaced intervals. Initially the intervals will be smaller: you might review a new word a few times in one practice session, and then again the next day.<br><br><br>Once you know it well you'll be able to leave days or weeks between revisiting without forgetting it. I like using Duolingo for vocabulary and phrase practice because it takes care of spaced repetition for me. The app keeps track of which words I haven't practiced for a while and reminds me to strengthen my understanding of those. During each lesson, it mixes up familiar and new words to space out the repetition. One of the many benefits we get from sleep is that it helps to clear out the brain's "inbox" - the temporary storage of new information and memories from our time awake.<br><br><br>We need sleep (even just a nap) to move anything we've recently learned into our brain's long term storage. Once it's safely stored, spaced repetition will help to strengthen the connection so we can recall the information faster and more accurately. Once you've mastered the basics of a new language, try including some content on a topic you're interested in to improve your understanding. You could have conversations with friends learning the same language, read articles online or listen to a podcast to test your comprehension. If you're busy, you might be tempted to put off your studying and cram in a big chunk of learning once every week or two.<br><br><br>However, studying a little every day is actually more effective. Because your brain's "inbox" has limited space and only sleep can clear it out, you'll hit the limit of how much you can take in pretty quickly if you study for hours at a time. Studying in small chunks every day combines spaced repetition with the best use of the brain's temporary storage. The brain craves novelty but attempting to learn lots of new words or phrases at once can be overwhelming. Novel concepts work best when they're mixed in with familiar information. When you add new words to your vocabulary, try spacing them in-between words you're already familiar with so they'll stand out—your brain will latch onto them more easily.

There’s an added benefit as well: It also shows you immediately what you don’t know and need to circle back and review. Q: There’s so much concern that social media and smartphones and all manner of electronic gadgets are interfering with learning - and even changing the way people think. Is distraction always bad? A: No. Distraction is a hazard if you need continuous focus, like when listening to a lecture. But a short study break— five, ten, twenty minutes to check in on Facebook, respond to a few emails, check sports scores - is an effective distraction technique to help you solve a problem when you’re stuck. Q: Is there any effective strategy for improving performance on longer-term creative projects?<br><br><br>A: Yes. Start them as early as possible, make sure you understand the project, jot down some preliminary ideas about the project - and then give yourself permission to walk away. Deliberate interruption is not the same as quitting. Because your non-conscious mind has been primed, you’ll begin to see and hear all sorts of relevant things in your daily life. Then when you come back to your project, you’ll be amazed at how easily the ideas flow. Q: What’s the most common reason for bombing a test after what felt like careful preparation? A: ‘Passive activities’ which do not actually encourage your brain to engage with the material (eg highlighting or rewriting notes) lull you into the illusion that you know something. Scientists call this "fluency" - the assumption that because something is well-known now it will remain that way.<br><br><br>Better to set yourself quizzes, do something more challenging which requires efforts of memory while you’re studying. Then you not only feel that you know, you know that you know. Q: Is it best to practise one skill at a time until it becomes automatic, or to work on many things at once? A: Focusing on one skill at a time - a musical scale, batting, quadratic equations - leads quickly to noticeable, tangible improvement. But it’s important then to mix this new skill in with others and practise it in an integrated way. Do projects which involve several skills - some old, some new. Do easier (better-known) things alongside the new challenges - you’ll enjoy it more and it leads to better learning in the long run. Experiment with different types of learning in different environments. Don’t worry if you forget things. If you’re really interested in what you’re learning you’ll learn better, naturally. If you want to learn Spanish, learn with others, talk to people about what you’re learning - and go to Spain. Then sleep on it.<br><br><br>If you wish to take Spanish classes London is the perfect place!

Rather than wondering which app or approach is "best," consider studying your language from multiple directions. Duolingo is free, has a ton of material, and works well for a lot of people—so it’s a natural first step. Mango takes a more conversational approach, and while it’s a paid product, many publiclibraries can give you access for free. Babbel is another paid app with a conversational focus. When I’m studying a language, I like to dip in and out of the other strategies I’ll mention, but I like to have one approach that I check in with every day.<br><br><br>For me, that’s usually Duolingo. If you only practice the written language, it’s very difficult to understand speech (especially from native speakers who may speak quickly and who may have a regional accent you’re not familiar with). There are tons of podcasts in nearly every language, but the problem is finding ones that you can understand as a beginner. Duolingo’s Spanish podcast bridges the gap in a really nice way: a Spanish speaker tells a story about something that happened in their life, and every few sentences the English-speaking host takes over and provides some context. You can follow the story without getting lost, but the more Spanish you can understand, the more details and flavor you can pick up. Notes in Spanish and SpanishPod101 both do this well. This might be the scariest option at first, but it’s also probably the most helpful.<br><br><br>I found beginner groups where most of the conversation is in English, and intermediate and advanced groups where people just hang out and chat in the target language—sometimes over a meal, or after a foreign-language movie. Since the group is intended for people who are learning the language, it’s fine to show up even if you aren’t confident in your skills. People will help you! I also found my conversation group to be a great place to learn about books and apps that I could practice with at home. A video chat may, again, be kind of terrifying. But when people who speak your language are literally a Skype call away, all across the world, it would be a shame to miss out on this extremely helpful way of learning. Italki can match you with either a professional language teacher or an informal tutor or partner for an hourly fee.<br><br><br>Duolingo also offers a live chat in some languages, where you spend about five minutes going through a semi-scripted encounter with the teacher on the other end. For an even more informal (and less intimidating) option, Tandem lets you connect with other language learners for free. You just open up the app and text a stranger. Video chat and other options are available as well. Don’t watch any just any TV show in your target language; many will be hard to understand. Seek out shows whose premise you can follow while practicing your listening skills. For example, if you’re familiar with the baking show Nailed It, try Nailed It Mexico, where the structure is exactly the same (people try to bake cakes, and fail) so you never have to worry about losing the plot.<br><br><br>I learned from a recent episode of The Fluent Show (an all-English podcast about language learning in general) that some of the best shows for language learners are ones that are extremely formulaic, like reality shows and true crime dossiers. When we asked for your language learning tips, some commenters mentioned the Extra! American students learning various foreign languages. For practice reading and writing small snippets of your target language, find accounts or hashtags on social media to follow. You’ll get a little dose of that language every time you scroll Instagram, plus you’ll get a tiny window into the culture by seeing what the country looks like, what people are doing, what news they’re discussing. It’s also a fun, easy, low pressure language exercise to leave a comment or reply every now and then, letting you put your new language skills to use in the real world without having to leave home.<br><br><br>Maite Arce, President and CEO, Hispanic Access Foundation.

Learning new languages is a natural instinct for children, and yet it becomes more difficult as we age. We might be at a disadvantage as adults, but with a few learning methods, you can still give yourself the best chance for learning a new language. This post originally appeared on the Crew Blog. I've been attempting to learn French for a while now, and it's a slow process. It's all much harder this time around than it was to learn English, my first language. All this effort made me wonder if there were some tricks to learning a foreign language that I'd been missing.


It turns out, it's just a tricky thing to do once you're an adult. Learning language is something we're born to do. To believe that special biological adaptations are a requirement, it is enough to notice that all the children but none of the dogs and cats in the house acquire language. As children, we learn to think, learn to communicate and intuitively pick up an understanding of grammar rules in our mother tongue, or native language. From then on, we learn all new languages in relation to the one we first knew—the one that we used to understand the world around us for the first time ever. Although language is something we learn, research has shown that the instinct to do so is present from birth.


Not only are we inclined to process and adopt language, but it seems that the human brain has common linguistic constraints, regardless of the language we've learned. Certain syllables, which aren't common in any language, are difficult for the brain to process, even in newborns who haven't started learning any language yet. When it comes to learning a second language, adults are at a disadvantage. As we age, our brain's plasticity (its ability to create new neurons and synapses) is reduced. Following brain damage that causes a loss of speech, for instance, researchers have observed that children are more likely to regain the power of speech, by creating new pathways in the brain to replace the damaged ones.


One theory of why learning a foreign language is so hard for adults focuses more on the process we go through to do so, rather than the loss of plasticity. Robert Bley-Vroman explains in Linguistic Perspectives on Second Language Acquisition that adults approach learning a new language with an adult problem-solving process, rather than in the same way a child develops language for the first time. Although this means adults generally progress through the early stages of learning a language faster than children, people who are exposed to a foreign language first during childhood usually achieve a higher proficiency than those who start out as adults. There's still hope, though. A study of secondary language pronunciation found that some learners who started as adults scored as well as native speakers.


It's also been shown that motivation to learn can improve proficiency, so if you really want to learn a language, it's not necessarily too late. If you want to put in the effort to learn a new language, try these methods that are known for improving learning and memory. Spaced repetition is a proven memory technique that helps you keep what you've learned strong in your mind. The way it works is you review each word or phrase you've learned in spaced intervals. Initially the intervals will be smaller: you might review a new word a few times in one practice session, and then again the next day.


Once you know it well you'll be able to leave days or weeks between revisiting without forgetting it. I like using Duolingo for vocabulary and phrase practice because it takes care of spaced repetition for me. The app keeps track of which words I haven't practiced for a while and reminds me to strengthen my understanding of those. During each lesson, it mixes up familiar and new words to space out the repetition. One of the many benefits we get from sleep is that it helps to clear out the brain's "inbox" - the temporary storage of new information and memories from our time awake.


We need sleep (even just a nap) to move anything we've recently learned into our brain's long term storage. Once it's safely stored, spaced repetition will help to strengthen the connection so we can recall the information faster and more accurately. Once you've mastered the basics of a new language, try including some content on a topic you're interested in to improve your understanding. You could have conversations with friends learning the same language, read articles online or listen to a podcast to test your comprehension. If you're busy, you might be tempted to put off your studying and cram in a big chunk of learning once every week or two.


However, studying a little every day is actually more effective. Because your brain's "inbox" has limited space and only sleep can clear it out, you'll hit the limit of how much you can take in pretty quickly if you study for hours at a time. Studying in small chunks every day combines spaced repetition with the best use of the brain's temporary storage. The brain craves novelty but attempting to learn lots of new words or phrases at once can be overwhelming. Novel concepts work best when they're mixed in with familiar information. When you add new words to your vocabulary, try spacing them in-between words you're already familiar with so they'll stand out—your brain will latch onto them more easily.

Much better to try to reconstruct your notes without looking if you want to build recall (see previous question). There’s an added benefit as well: It also shows you immediately what you don’t know and need to circle back and review. Q: There’s so much concern that social media and smartphones and all manner of electronic gadgets are interfering with learning - and even changing the way people think. Is distraction always bad? A: No. Distraction is a hazard if you need continuous focus, like when listening to a lecture. But a short study break— five, ten, twenty minutes to check in on Facebook, respond to a few emails, check sports scores - is an effective distraction technique to help you solve a problem when you’re stuck. Q: Is there any effective strategy for improving performance on longer-term creative projects?


A: Yes. Start them as early as possible, make sure you understand the project, jot down some preliminary ideas about the project - and then give yourself permission to walk away. Deliberate interruption is not the same as quitting. Because your non-conscious mind has been primed, you’ll begin to see and hear all sorts of relevant things in your daily life. Then when you come back to your project, you’ll be amazed at how easily the ideas flow. Q: What’s the most common reason for bombing a test after what felt like careful preparation? A: ‘Passive activities’ which do not actually encourage your brain to engage with the material (eg highlighting or rewriting notes) lull you into the illusion that you know something. Scientists call this "fluency" - the assumption that because something is well-known now it will remain that way.


Better to set yourself quizzes, do something more challenging which requires efforts of memory while you’re studying. Then you not only feel that you know, you know that you know. Q: Is it best to practise one skill at a time until it becomes automatic, or to work on many things at once? A: Focusing on one skill at a time - a musical scale, batting, quadratic equations - leads quickly to noticeable, tangible improvement. But it’s important then to mix this new skill in with others and practise it in an integrated way. Do projects which involve several skills - some old, some new. Do easier (better-known) things alongside the new challenges - you’ll enjoy it more and it leads to better learning in the long run. Experiment with different types of learning in different environments. Don’t worry if you forget things. If you’re really interested in what you’re learning you’ll learn better, naturally. If you want to learn Spanish, learn with others, talk to people about what you’re learning - and go to Spain. Then sleep on it.

There’s a big difference between leveling up in a language learning app and being able to speak and understand your target language when you arrive in a new country. Rather than wondering which app or approach is "best," consider studying your language from multiple directions. Duolingo is free, has a ton of material, and works well for a lot of people—so it’s a natural first step. Mango takes a more conversational approach, and while it’s a paid product, many publiclibraries can give you access for free. Babbel is another paid app with a conversational focus. When I’m studying a language, I like to dip in and out of the other strategies I’ll mention, but I like to have one approach that I check in with every day.


For me, that’s usually Duolingo. If you only practice the written language, it’s very difficult to understand speech (especially from native speakers who may speak quickly and who may have a regional accent you’re not familiar with). There are tons of podcasts in nearly every language, but the problem is finding ones that you can understand as a beginner. Duolingo’s Spanish podcast bridges the gap in a really nice way: a Spanish speaker tells a story about something that happened in their life, and every few sentences the English-speaking host takes over and provides some context. You can follow the story without getting lost, but the more Spanish you can understand, the more details and flavor you can pick up. Notes in Spanish and SpanishPod101 both do this well. This might be the scariest option at first, but it’s also probably the most helpful.


I found beginner groups where most of the conversation is in English, and intermediate and advanced groups where people just hang out and chat in the target language—sometimes over a meal, or after a foreign-language movie. Since the group is intended for people who are learning the language, it’s fine to show up even if you aren’t confident in your skills. People will help you! I also found my conversation group to be a great place to learn about books and apps that I could practice with at home. A video chat may, again, be kind of terrifying. But when people who speak your language are literally a Skype call away, all across the world, it would be a shame to miss out on this extremely helpful way of learning. Italki can match you with either a professional language teacher or an informal tutor or partner for an hourly fee.


Duolingo also offers a live chat in some languages, where you spend about five minutes going through a semi-scripted encounter with the teacher on the other end. For an even more informal (and less intimidating) option, Tandem lets you connect with other language learners for free. You just open up the app and text a stranger. Video chat and other options are available as well. Don’t watch any just any TV show in your target language; many will be hard to understand. Seek out shows whose premise you can follow while practicing your listening skills. For example, if you’re familiar with the baking show Nailed It, try Nailed It Mexico, where the structure is exactly the same (people try to bake cakes, and fail) so you never have to worry about losing the plot.


I learned from a recent episode of The Fluent Show (an all-English podcast about language learning in general) that some of the best shows for language learners are ones that are extremely formulaic, like reality shows and true crime dossiers. When we asked for your language learning tips, some commenters mentioned the Extra! American students learning various foreign languages. For practice reading and writing small snippets of your target language, find accounts or hashtags on social media to follow. You’ll get a little dose of that language every time you scroll Instagram, plus you’ll get a tiny window into the culture by seeing what the country looks like, what people are doing, what news they’re discussing. It’s also a fun, easy, low pressure language exercise to leave a comment or reply every now and then, letting you put your new language skills to use in the real world without having to leave home.
