    33 ADVENTIST PERSPECTIVES, Spring, 1989, Vol. II I, No. 1 ''Proper Education'' by G. H. Akers Dr. George H. Akers, currently "Mr. Education" for the Seventh-day Adventist world church, absorbed the educational wisdom of a one-room church school, an academy in the sweeping Shenandoah Valley, and Washington Missionary College (CUC). Teaching, cleaning, and administering education at various levels have been his life for more than forty years of serv­ ice to his church and his God. His doctorate in higher education and historical/philosophical foundations was earned at USCLA. Some sixteen years at Andrews University climaxed with his appointment to the first deanship of the School of Education.

  • Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom | Norient.Com 27 Sep 2021 03:45:07
    Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom | norient.com 27 Sep 2021 03:45:07 Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom by Philipp Weichenrieder Some call it a hybrid of breakbeat and house, some call it «apocalyptic riot music». But for the producers from the townships of Durban, South Africa, Gqom is more than a clubmusic style. It feels like being dragged into a black hole. A single low-pitched string sound is steadily, ominously and threatening hovering in the background. It is creating an eerie atmosphere, a thick and somewhat physical perceptible veil that is set swinging by stumbling kick drums and develops a strangely light and floating movement which at the same time is raw and fiercely pushing. This contradictory dynamic is characteristic and special about a yet young genre of electronic dance music evolving out of the townships of Durban which is also causing a stir in Europe: Gqom. The Zulu word «Gqom», the combination of g and q articulated with a click made with the tongue (can be heard here), means either «drum», «noise», «bucket» or «music». Sometimes the term is also explained as an onomatopoeic equivalence to the noise of a stone falling on a floor tile. This stands for the raw sound with its repetitive and hypnotizing drum rhythm in its centre. Gqom music is not about feel-good harmonies, it is about trance. Pioneering producers like 21-years-old DJ Lag or 26-years-old Sbucardo also https://norient.com/index.php/stories/soundtrack-of-the-townships-gqom-from-durban Page 1 of 5 Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom | norient.com 27 Sep 2021 03:45:07 describe Gqom as «3-Step».

Sarai Leiva, RDA Self/Dental Hygiene student Cibolo, TX I believe this will change dentistry for the better. Emily Conley, DR Mosaic Dentistry cedar Park, TX I support the extension of duties to allow registered dental hygienists to administer local anesthesia under the direct supervision of the dentist after sufficient training has been completed. There is benefit to allow more autonomy to the hygienist as it builds their value in the practice, with the patient and allows more efficiency in the day-to-day flow. Many states allow this delegation and there has been no adverse impact to the profession of dentistry nor has it taken away the dentists ability to run a successful practice. On the contrary, I believe it has helped many practices increase production and patient satisfaction due to patient's not having to wait for the dentist to administer local. I believe the dental hygienist should be under the same regulation and oversight that the dentist is in regards to knowing safe anesthesia practices, appropriate anatomy so that they minimize adverse effects and documentations in the chart notes. Stephen Robirds, DDS ( Orthodontist) self and member of the Texas Association of Orthodontists AUSTIN, TX Teledentistry is all about better access to maintain good dental health.

  • Fitting the Arts Into Today's Public Education System
    Fitting the Arts into Today’s Public Education System Breaking the mold due to music and arts education budget cuts by implementing an innovative strategy; merging music and arts education into the basic core curriculum classes taught in public schools. Tag Words: Music; Art; Budget cuts; No Child Left Behind; nutrition; sing-along; producing; lyrics; save; support; public schools; education; research; Rutgers University Authors: Mark Aleynick, Samuel Ames with Julie M. Fagan, Ph.D Summary: Arts programs have been dramatically cut back or cut out completely from public school curriculums throughout the country. Because of new laws such as the No Child Left Behind act, schools are forced to adhere to a national standardized testing system, and districts are rewarded based on their students’ average score. Therefore, schools are cutting Arts classes in order to make room for extra math and English courses so they could bolster their standardized test scores. However, research shows that an education in art and music is important for a child’s development, and parents are outraged that their children will not receive a proper and cultured education. In order to circumvent the problem, a teaching technique has been devised here, which allows teachers to incorporate music and singing into the general curriculum. By putting children’s books to music, students are able to read and sing along, exposing young students to music. Incorporating art and music into the general education curriculum may be the only way to keep arts education in schools.

The report gives a background of the school district, describes the 45-15 plan in detail, analyzes its effects on school and community, and chronologically summarizes significant events that followed implementation of the plan. The plan, developed mostly by professional educators from the district, was developed out of economic necessity and not primarily as an experiment. Under the plan, students in the district spend 45 school days in school and 15 school days out of school in each of four cycles. In order to have the school in continuous operation, only one fourth of the students are on vacation at any one time. Hence, the students are placed in four groups staggered by 15-day periods.
