It is commonly accepted and expected that gifted students enjoy reading and other forms of creative modes of storytelling. A core principle from bibliotherapy is that students engage in reading when they identify with one or more characters, and challenges and interests like their own. The same principle applies to multicultural literature—when students of color see themselves mirrored in the book, they become more eager to read. This column focuses on the vital need for educators to use multicultural literature with gifted Black girls. Strategies and resources are provided for educators’ expansion of their pedagogical toolkit.The High School Equivalency (HSE) Program provides students with classroom learning at no cost to lead to a state issued high school diploma, as well as vocational training and entry level job placement assistance. The program aims to help each student advance at least one academic grade level and, ultimately, obtain a high school diploma and transition into NCCTI’s post-secondary programs.
Classes are held Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at NCCTI’s Main Campus.
Less than two weeks after its Kickstarter debut, Mobvoi‘s Ticwatch 2 has successfully secured nearly $950,000 thanks to 5,100 backers. The Chinese tech startup launched the crowdfunding campaign for the new interactive watch and secured its initial $50,000 funding goal in ten minutes.
The Mobvoi team explained the Ticwatch 2 is pre-loaded with a series of useful apps such as ‘Dialer,’ ‘Calendar,’ ‘Heath,’ and ‘Fitness.’ All the apps were notably designed specifically for optimal smartwatch functionality. The watch is also compatible with Android Wear Apps, iPhone, and Android (system requirement: iOS 8.0 and Android 4.3+). Ticwatch will also have an App Store, which users can download more apps on Android Devices, with iOS users being able to gain access to more built-in apps and features through frequent OTA updates.
Other design features include invisible tick, watch faces for every occasion, and personalized bands. Those looking to purchase the watch may do so through the Kickstarter campaign currently starting at $139 (early birds were able to receive the device for only $99).

The campaign is set to close at the end of August.

Theres just not enough legitimate material out there to keep interest tbh. I learned that you basically have to *dabble* in the subject because being a ufo "enthusiast" will just drive you mad because of all the dinsinfo/hoaxes you have to sift through or by falling for all the disinfo/hoaxes. 

I used to check UFO forums and YouTube channels on a daily basis waiting for the big one or "disclosure" or whatever. Eventually I just lost interest because it was all BS. Then when the government and military started to make recent statements about the existence of UFOs it kind of got me back into it(cautiously). Truth is if something big/legitimate enough happens you're not gonna miss it unless you wilfully want to. You dont have to be part of the "enthusiast" crowd and believe everything. I was literally gone from this sub for nearly a decade and came back and it was like I was never gone. The same videos, cases, and stories(mostly debunked) being posted.CHEWIE BALANCED LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. If you can aim he was the most OP thing in the Star Wars Universe. He killed enemy villains in three shots in HvV. His ability made him take less damage. You're soooo misinformed BF2015 is cancer and is a better wallpaper maker than game.

Rolling was also extremely awkward and unrealistic

Edit: Looked at old footage you didn't even have to aim

It’s fair to say they do not want to know what they are getting into when they sign the paper.
It’s nobody’s fault except the card holder when they get into heavy debt by using their card to purchase anything they see in the marketplace especially the ones that are on sale which they have to have it regardless whether they need it or not.
 They just want to keep using it without realizing how much they have spent in a month. When they receive the bill and can only pay the minimum, they want to be blessed with more ignorance.
The credit card industry makes more money by hoping consumers would remain ignorant and impulsive so it can be the perfect joy for the companies.
I thought you could beat the credit card companies at their own game and I still do but for many folks it’s still getting harder and harder to pay even the minimum. The more they use their credit card, the more they want to use it. For many, there is no stopping of their shopping and spending.
Some psychiatrists have written about human inner ugliness, fear, and doubt extensively. Those kinds of humans have acted in life irrationally and recklessly without giving it second thought of how their adverse action might affect their own life and that of their loved ones.
Other experts have termed their behavior as having Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which can be due to a combination of inattention (or hyperactivity) and impulsiveness.
Simply put folks who buy things on the spur of the moment and not thinking how they would repay the money are screwed up people and have something missing in their life.
No matter how much someone tells them (like this blog and others) to stop spending money recklessly and needlessly, it will not help those who are chronic shoppers and over-spenders.
They do go online but only to shop and not to read a blog like this advising them to slow down in their shopping spree.
None of the tips by bloggers and experts in the world can help those folks who have a brain issue called ADHD. In this blog, I use ADHD strictly for impulsiveness.

The most drug that doctors prescribe is Ritalin (Methylphenidate) which according to PubMed Health under NIH.Gov can be habit-forming. That probably means it’s addictive if continuously taken in larger doses for longer periods of time.
