(10x2) 20 ‘Teaching Math to the Talented In Vancouver last winter, the United States proved its competitive spirit by winning more medals — gold, silver, and bronze—at the Winter Olympic Games than any other country, although the German ‘member of our research team insists on pointing out that Canada and Germany both won more gold medals than the United States, But if there is some dispute about which Olympic medals to count, there is no question about American math performance: the United States does not deserve even a Paper medal, Maintaining our productivity as a nation depends importantly on developing a highly qualified cadre of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and other professionals. To realize that objective requires a system of schooling that produces students with advanced math and science skills. To see how well schools in the United States do at producing high-achieving math students, we compared the percentage of U.S. students with advanced skills in mathematics in the high-school graduating Class (of 2009 to percentages of similarly high achievers in other countries. Unfortunately, we found that the percentage of students in the U.S. Class of 2009 who were highly accomplished in math is well below that of most countries with which the United States generally compares itself. 30 of the 56 countries that participated in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) math test, including most of the world’s industrialized nations, had good results at other international tests. A 2005 report from the National Academy of Sciences, Rising Above the Gathering Storm, succinctly put the issue into perspective: “Although many people assume that the United States will always be a world leader in science and technology, this may not continue to be the case inasmuch as great minds and ideas exist throughout the world.” ‘AFocus on Math We give special attention to math performance because math appears to be the subject in which accomplishment in secondary school is particularly significant for both an individual's and a country’s economic well-being, Existing research, though not conclusive, indicates that math skills better predict future earnings and other economic outcomes than other skills learned in high school. ‘The American Diploma Project estimates that “in 62 percent of American jobs over the next 10 years, entry-level workers will need to be proficient in algebra, geometry, data interpretation, probability and statistics” There is also a technical reason for focusing our analysis on math. This subject is particularly well suited to rigorous comparisons across countries and cultures. There is a fairly clear international consensus on the math concepts and techniques that need to be mastered and on the order in which those concepts should be introduced into the curriculum. The knowledge to be learned remains the same regardless of the dominant language spoken in a culture. The 30-country list includes virtually all the advanced industrialized nations of the world. The only OECD countries producing a smaller percentage of advanced math students than the United States are Portugal, Greece, Turkey, and Mexico, IEEE s.indseeu revaoarsonA What did the US manage to demonstrate in Vancouver?

Divers Find 200-Year-Old Champagne in Baltic Wreck Divers have discovered what is thought to be the world’s oldest drinkable champagne in a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea, one ofthe finders said Saturday. They tasted the one bottle they've brought up so far before they even got back to shore, Diving instructor Christian Ekstrom said the bottles are believed to be from the 1780s. He said they were likely part of a cargo destined for Russi: TU) “We brought up the bottle to be able to establish how old the wreck was,” he told the Associated Press. “We didn't know it would be champagne. (2)" Ekstrom said the divers were overjoyed when they popped the cork on their boat. “It tasted fantastic. (3)" he said. The divers discovered the shipwreck on Tuesday near the Aland Islands, between Sweden and Finland. About 30 bottles are believed to be aboard the sunken vessel. Ekstrom said he is confident of the champagne’s age and authenticity, but samples have been sent to laboratories in France for testing. Swedish wine expert Carl-Jan Granqvist said each bottle could be ‘worth 50,000 euros if the corks are intact and the sparkling drinkiis genuine and drinkable. “(4)” said Granqvist, one of the experts contacted by Ekstrom and his team, “I don't know of any other (drinkable) bottle this old. 've never even heard of it Ifit's the rightatmosphere outside, and inside the bottle the cork is kept dry in the middle; it keeps itself” he said.

When Seasons Change How You Feel By 10 am. every day during the winters, Rachelle Strauss felt like she could go back to bed. She used to be a morning person, but that all changed about 10 years ago when she started to feel exhausted as the darkest days dragged on. "As soon as March came, round and we hit spring, Iwas back to my bouncy self. It's almost like being two people for two different seasons of the year,” sald Strauss, 38, of Gloucestershire, England. Strauss is not alone. In Northern Europe, an estimated 12 million people suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Over here in the United States, about 4% to 6% of the population may have it according to the Cleveland Clinic. The condition tends to strike mainly women in their 20s,30sand 40s, although men canalsohave It Children and adolescents may also develop it, and it is less common in adults of older ages. Seasonal affective disorder can be expected in mns of the world that are farther away from the equator and thus experience seasonal changes in daylight hours more dramatically, said Simon Rego, psychologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York. Scientists aren't sure why some people get seasonal affective disorder and others don't. One theory is that sufferers may have a biological predisposition to it, and the symptoms get triggered in particular ways. For Strauss, the symptoms of lack of energy and depression formed a vicious cycle, where she wouldn't exercise or socialize, and then became irritable and cranky. “I got depressed because I couldn't do the things I wanted to do,” she said. “Certainly this total exhaustion is very debilitating after a while.” Alison Kero of Denver, Colorado, can relate. Before moving from New York, her energy dropped offin the winter, and she had the urge go to sleep at 6 pam, (GET. irAsseui revapatsor perc alatt végeztem ezzel a feladattal the article in English. Only include full sentences only if necessary. in (10%2)20P Anxiety, suicidal thoughts and poor concentration can also accompany seasonal affective disorder, said Dr. Tracy Latz, psychiatrist in Mooresville, North Carolina. A hallmark of the condition is that symptoms get ‘worse when daylight saving time ends. If you're feeling down fairly consistently for two weeks or more, and the feelings recur during the same time every year, there's reason to suspect that it’s seasonal affective disorder, she said. More rarely, seasonal affective disorder can flare up with warm, sunny weather: In these people, anxiety, insomnia and irritability can worsen in the spring and summer. And others exhibit a form of bipolar disorder called “reverse seasonal affective disorder” with hyperactivity, agitation and inappropriate enthusiasm in the spring and summer. Seasonal affective disorder has to do primarily with environment; specifically, how much light you're getting, That's why one of the most iconic therapies for seasonal affective disorder is the light box. Light therapy imitates light from the outdoors and triggers changes in the brain that can help elevate mood. It doesn't work for everyone, but many people such as Strauss have found relief from sitting in front of a bright light box. Strauss uses hers during breakfast, and it helps her get through the day. There are also dawn simulators, which mimic the sunrise as you wake up, and light visors that look like baseball caps that you can wear to get light exposure. Since moving to Denver, which tends to see more sun than New York, Kero feels like she doesn't have to use her light box anymore, but 15 to 30 minutes a day did help her back East. “It's a deep biological reality that our brains sense the amount of sunlight we're exposed to with great sensitivity. It adds up to become a big drain when ‘we don't have enough light,” Sharp said. But light therapy doesn't work for everyone.
