This article summarizes a study that investigated the safety ratings of high school football helmets used by several local Atlanta schools. It found that four of the six schools had some two-star rated helmets in their inventory according to the Virginia Tech STAR rating system, where five-star helmets provide the greatest protection against concussions. The article discusses the STAR rating system methodology and interviews local coaches who say safety is the top priority when purchasing equipment, but acknowledge challenges in keeping up with advancing helmet technology given budget and resource constraints.
This document is a dissertation submitted by Krystle Marrier d'Unienville for a Masters degree. It investigates teaching styles and how actor training skills could benefit teachers. The dissertation observes 14 teachers over 36 hours to analyze their teaching styles using a performance framework. It finds that teachers would benefit from actor skills like voice, movement, improvisation and role-playing. These skills could help teachers engage learners and develop their teaching persona. The dissertation recommends that teacher training programs incorporate practical modules applying drama and acting techniques. This would allow teachers to confidently develop their instructional strategies before entering the classroom.

El documento habla sobre la inevitabilidad del cambio en la vida y la necesidad de aceptarlo en lugar de tenerle miedo. Afirma que el miedo al cambio es realmente un miedo a vivir y comprometerse con nuevas posibilidades que permiten aprender y crecer. Cita a Nelson Mandela diciendo que las decisiones deben reflejar las esperanzas, no los miedos. Finalmente, compara el cambio con la metamorfosis de una oruga en mariposa.

O documento descreve a morte de um homem chamado Dario na calçada de uma rua movimentada. Ele caiu repentinamente e foi observado por vários pedestres, mas ninguém prestou os primeiros socorros adequadamente ou chamou uma ambulância imediatamente. Seu corpo foi movido para diferentes locais ao longo da rua durante as duas horas que levou para morrer, enquanto uma multidão se aglomerava para observar sem ajudar. Quando a polícia finalmente chegou, seu corpo já havia sido pisoteado várias vezes.

Self-organization is a process where systems acquire and maintain structure without external control. It works through diversity, autonomy, simple rules, constraints, feedback, and goals. The document argues that self-organizing teams are better able to respond to change and that the best architectures and designs emerge from them, as stated in the Agile Manifesto and Scrum Guide. Real-world examples like Morning Star and Svenska Handelsbanken show that self-organization can work well.
