(NewsUSA) - Like the title of his book says, the United States education system is in trouble and needs to be fixed!

On the world stage, the U.S. is a middle-of-the-pack performer when it comes to academic performance, says Richard W. Garrett, author of U.S. Education Is in Trouble, Let’s Fix It! 22 Reform Proposals (Rowman & Littlefield). Some of the vital statistics at his disposal are downright scary.  “If you knew what I know, you’d be worried too,” he adds.

In this research-laden analysis, Garrett methodically and intricately shares with readers what he does, in fact, know and why the existing situation is so dire  – and aims to offer solutions to fix it, with 22 specific resolutions.

The author has been engaged in research on educational reform since 2013. This is his second major literary effort, his other being The Kids Are Smart Enough, So What’s the Problem? A Businessman’s Perspective on Educational Reform and the Teacher Crisis. (2017, Rowman and Littlefield)

Garrett has created a list of 22 reform proposals. When implemented, they will produce significant improvements. Here, in order, are the top four areas for reform to reverse the decline of our public school system: parenting issues; irresponsible management by school boards and superintendents; runaway discipline problems; and social promotion (promoting children to the next grade without having them meet the necessary reading requirements).

“Lack of discipline and lack of respect are destroying our education system,” writes Garrett. “It drives teachers out of teaching and makes new candidates afraid to enter the field.” This, along with accelerating resignations, has produced a significant teacher shortage.

Then there’s the matter of boosting a child’s self-esteem – a noble goal but one that Garrett says has been mishandled. Everyone “gets a trophy” and brings home top grades – an artificial reward system not based on achievement. And it masks the real situation, making it harder to fix. What are the consequences for poor work or failure?

Garrett takes a very granular approach to his topic, going into detail about the state of our nation when it comes to learning, student proficiency statistics, the plight of teachers, breakdown of the current school day, how schools should be organized, the all-important discipline issues, and much more.

His analysis is compelling – and frightening.

Garrett’s work is so complete that even though it is loaded with facts, statistics and graphical representations of trends, with a body of 148 pages, it is a swift read for anyone – parent, teacher, administrator, some students and any concerned citizen – looking to be enlightened on this all-too-crucial subject. It’s hard to dispute Garrett’s arguments, and it’s encouraging to hear his remedies.

In his final chapter, the author lists “22 reform proposals” that can shape but not necessarily fix our broken system. Some of his ideas involve recurring themes while others are out of the box.

Anyone who cares about our youth and cares about our country should add this this title to their must-read list.

“This book is a champion for children who want to learn and for teachers who want to teach,” says Garrett. “The goal is an education system that will educate more children, educate them well, and put the United States in the top tier worldwide.”

(NewsUSA) - November is here, and that means it’s the kickoff of the Marine Toys for Tots annual Holiday Campaign, now in its 76th year of bringing joy and hope to children in need across the Nation.

Between November 1 and December 25, 2023, U.S. Marines and dedicated volunteers will conduct more than 850 local toy collection and distribution programs in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Toys for Tots, our Nation’s flagship children’s Christmastime charity and the U.S. Marine Corps’ premiere Community Action Program, provides year-round joy, comfort, and hope to disadvantaged children across the Nation through the gift of a new toy, book, game, or other gift.

It is estimated that 41% of America’s children live at or below the poverty level. The mission of Marine Toys for Tots is to bring the joy of Christmas to these children, with messages of hope that will inspire them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens. The impact that our Program is able to provide through the help of our dedicated supporters is extraordinary.

Marines and volunteers engage with local businesses, media, and individuals within their communities to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute those gifts to disadvantaged children, allowing them to experience the joy of Christmas or any celebrated holiday.

Last year, Toys for Tots set new records, with over 24.4 million toys and books provided to nearly 10 million children in need across the Nation.

“Now, in Toys for Tots’ 76th year, we are asking our supporters to help us achieve another record-breaking year and deliver the magic of the holidays to every family seeking our assistance,” says LtGen James B. Laster, USMC (Ret.), President and CEO of the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.

This year, Toys for Tots will highlight our extraordinary Reserve Marines and community volunteers, as well as showcase the incredible effort from communities across the Nation who have enabled Toys for Tots to support over 291 million economically disadvantaged children since 1947.

“Saving Christmas is no small task. When we hear about families who are struggling financially during the holiday season, our network of Marines and volunteers mobilize and work tirelessly to ensure that no child is forgotten,” LtGen Laster adds.

(NewsUSA) - Paul Reid’s proclivity for pushing the boundaries in the wilderness extends to embracing what technology can do for people with diabetes.

Paul lives life to the fullest—and the highest. An avid outdoor adventurer, climber, and backpacker, Paul has completed a 5-day ascent of Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in the United States, including a grueling 24-hour technical ascent of its notoriously tricky eastern faces. What’s more, he did it while successfully managing his type 1 diabetes.

More than 37 million Americans are living with some form of diabetes¹, but advances in technology have made it easier for them to live a longer, healthier life.

Many individuals living with diabetes use a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, which invaluably enables round-the-clock insights into their condition. "For example, when I'm backpacking through mountain ranges and it's 5-10 miles until camp, my CGM helps me have a better picture of how much glucose I need to get over the next few hills,” Paul says.

Paul, an animator by profession and a climber and outdoor trail guide by passion, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1986, so he has seen his share of technological advances. However, traditional, short-term CGMs can be cumbersome, especially for an active person like Paul. "With a traditional CGM, I need a bowling ball’s worth of supplies for a two-week hiking trip,” he says.

For Paul, Eversense, the only long-term CGM available, developed by Senseonics and brought to people by Ascensia Diabetes Care, is a game-changer. Two weeks of hiking supplies with Eversense means just a small transmitter charger and a little pack of adhesives, and every inch of space is essential when you are hanging from a rock in a tight, vertical space, Paul says.

The company describes Eversense as “the CGM for real life,” and Paul agrees. “I can take Eversense off for a certain section of the climb, not worry about it being knocked off and my losing another sensor, and then easily put it back on as soon as I’m through².”

“At first, I couldn’t believe that I only needed two sensors a year,” Paul says. “But I can finally say goodbye to endless CGM replacements and supplies.” A sensor is inserted in the upper arm by a trained health care provider, and then you are good to go for up to six months, he says.

The smart transmitter for Eversense is worn over the sensor, and it wirelessly sends glucose data to a mobile device. The Eversense app then displays real-time glucose readings that people with diabetes can use to guide treatment.

“I love being able to remove the transmitter, out on the mountain or just while taking a shower at home²,” says Paul. He also loves the on-body vibratory alerts from the smart transmitter that are unique to Eversense, “getting alerted to glucose trends without looking at my phone is especially valuable when adventuring, but it’s just as helpful if you are out walking the dog.”

Paul continues to inspire others, and routinely leads outdoor adventure trips for individuals with diabetes. An Eversense user since 2019, he shows the world that diabetes doesn’t slow him down.

"With Eversense I don't have to sacrifice other things in my life,” he says.

(NewsUSA) - Too many women and men with painful gut symptoms are ignored and belittled, even though gut-brain disorders affect 40 percent of Americans.

Dr. Douglas Drossman is a world-renowned gastroenterologist and psychiatrist, and Johannah Ruddy is a patient educator and advocate. Together, they are the authors of three books on Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) in which readers will get answers to their own important health questions, learn to take charge of their health, and make positive changes.

Their first book, GUT FEELINGS: Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction and the Patient-Doctor Relationship, details Ruddy’s arduous, 10-year health journey and how she faced disbelief and even mockery by the medical establishment as she desperately sought help. The physician who finally helped Ruddy was Dr. Drossman. This book is also a primer to explain and categorize DGBI and introduce training in communication skills to optimize the patient-provider relationship.

The second book, GUT FEELINGS: The Patient’s Story— Personal Accounts of the Illness Journey takes readers into the patient’s world through their narrative accounts of struggling with their illness experience and messages on how they achieved recovery or adaptation under Dr. Drossman’s care.

The recently released third book in the trilogy, GUT FEELINGS: Doctors and Patient-Centered Care, contains the stories of providers. It gives the narratives of 14 caregivers who are experts in delivering patient-centered, compassionate care for patients with DGBI.

This new book GUT FEELINGS: Doctors and Patient-Centered Care, builds upon our understanding of DGBIs, how these disorders affect real people, and what doctors can do to truly help these patients. And it all begins with educated patients and empathetic doctors willing to partner in the care.

“It takes a special kind of person to ‘swim upstream’ and work in a discipline not fully understood and even disparaged by teachers and peers in medicine and gastroenterology,” says Dr. Drossman. “We need to understand those individuals. Accordingly, we have selected 14 scientists and providers in neurogastroenterology that excel in providing compassionate care to patients with DGBI and even enjoy working with them. The authors we selected are leaders in this emerging field.”

The GUT FEELINGS trilogy is an expertly sourced exploration of the little-known relationship between the brain and the gut. Each volume of GUT FEELINGS stands on its own, but reading all three delivers the greatest impact for understanding these disorders and learning how to care for these patients. It also explores how to improve medicine in general by raising awareness of the mind-body connection and the advantages of making this holistic viewpoint part of the national health conversation.

“Hope is something that is very difficult to come by when you are plagued with a chronic illness for which no test results seem to confirm a diagnosis, and DGBIs fall into this category,” writes Don W. Powell, MD, Professor Emeritus Internal Medicine/Gastroenterology, University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, in the book’s Foreword. “Patients with DGBIs are frequently misdiagnosed or, worse, dismissed entirely by doctors. That’s why GUT FEELINGS was literally a life-changing experience for me. Like millions of Americans, for many years I have been suffering from what turned out to be a DGBI. The book put me on a path toward managing my illness.”

(NewsUSA) - In the ongoing battle against COVID-19, vaccines have been successful in helping to reduce illness and contributing to the declining numbers of infections in the U.S. and around the world. But COVID-19 is not gone, and it remains a significant threat. Those with weakened immune systems, chronic illnesses and other risk factors are particularly vulnerable to severe illness from the virus.

While vaccines are still the best first defense against COVID-19, antiviral treatments have emerged as another powerful tool to help fight the virus and protect those who face greater risk of severe illness and hospitalization from COVID-19.

Who’s at Risk?

Millions of Americans face a higher risk of developing severe COVID-19, and many may not even know it. Being age 50 or over, or having a host of common health conditions including cancer, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, and weakened immune systems can make someone more likely to experience severe COVID-19 symptoms.

Treatments Are Available

The good news is that, for many of those at high risk who become infected with COVID-19 and have mild to moderate symptoms, antivirals can be a safe and effective treatment option. Antivirals work by helping to stop the virus from making copies of itself. This can help limit the spread of the virus inside the body — minimizing the severity of symptoms and the duration of the illness.

The need for speed is a fundamental principle underlying antiviral treatments for COVID-19. When someone at high risk becomes infected with COVID-19, the virus can spread rapidly within their body, which can cause severe respiratory problems and complications. This is where antiviral treatments may be able to help. Treatment with COVID-19 antivirals is most effective if it starts within the first five to seven days that the first COVID-19 symptoms appear.

But antivirals are not for everyone. They are not recommended for people who are younger, healthy and not at high risk of getting severely ill due to COVID-19, and there are certain health conditions and medications that are known to cause adverse reactions with antiviral treatments. Talk with a healthcare provider to know if an antiviral treatment is an option.

Plan Ahead

For anyone at high risk for severe COVID-19, acting quickly when infection happens, and planning ahead will be key to getting the treatment they may need. Begin by planning:

• Making a list of current medications,
• Talking with a healthcare provider to understand the risk for severe COVID-19 and discuss potential treatment options, and
• Creating a plan to get tested and begin treatment at the first sign of a COVID-19 infection and before the 5–7-day window of opportunity closes.

Why Speed Matters

• Stop the Virus from Multiplying: The earlier someone starts antiviral treatment, the better chance they have to lower the level of virus in their body, which can make a difference in their recovery.
• Minimize Severe Symptoms: Quick action can help prevent mild symptoms from turning severe – potentially preventing a hospital stay.
• Limit the Impact of COVID-19 on Your Life: Speedy treatment can shorten the time you are sick, easing the burden of the virus on your life and getting you back to usual.
• Helping to Protect Others: High-risk individuals not only face danger themselves but can also unknowingly spread the virus to others. Rapid treatment helps break the chain of transmission.

Remember, timing matters in reducing the risks of COVID-19 and planning ahead can make the difference in the lives of those most vulnerable.

(NewsUSA) - En la batalla en curso contra COVID-19 las vacunas han tenido éxito en ayudar a reducir la enfermedad y contribuir a la disminución del número de infecciones en los EE. UU. y alrededor del mundo. Pero COVID-19 no se ha ido, y sigue siendo una amenaza significativa. Aquellos con sistemas inmunológicos debilitados, enfermedades crónicas y otros factores de riesgo son particularmente vulnerables a enfermedades graves por el virus.

Si bien las vacunas siguen siendo la mejor primera defensa contra COVID-19, los tratamientos antivirales han surgido como otra herramienta poderosa para ayudar a combatir el virus y proteger a aquellos que enfrentan un mayor riesgo de enfermedad grave y hospitalización por COVID-19.

¿Quién está en riesgo?

Millones de estadounidenses enfrentan un mayor riesgo de desarrollar COVID-19 severo, y muchos ni siquiera lo saben. Tener 50 años o más, o tener una serie de condiciones de salud comunes, incluyendo cáncer, asma, diabetes, enfermedades del corazón y sistemas inmunológicos debilitados pueden hacer que alguien sea más propenso a experimentar síntomas graves de COVID-19.

Los tratamientos están disponibles
La buena noticia es que, para muchos de aquellos en alto riesgo que se infectan con COVID-19 y tienen síntomas leves a moderados, los antivirales pueden ser una opción de tratamiento segura y efectiva. Los antivirales funcionan ayudando a detener la replicación del virus. Esto puede ayudar a limitar la propagación del virus dentro del cuerpo, minimizando la gravedad de los síntomas y la duración de la enfermedad.

La importancia de la rapidez es un principio fundamental subyacente en los tratamientos antivirales para COVID-19. Cuando alguien con alto riesgo se infecta con COVID-19, el virus puede propagarse rápidamente dentro de su cuerpo, lo que puede causar problemas respiratorios graves y complicaciones. Aquí es donde los tratamientos antivirales pueden ser capaces de ayudar. El tratamiento con antivirales para COVID-19 es más efectivo si comienza dentro de los primeros cinco a siete días desde que aparecen los primeros síntomas de COVID-19.

Pero los antivirales no son para todos. No se recomiendan para personas que son jóvenes, saludables y no corren un alto riesgo de enfermarse gravemente debido a COVID-19, y hay ciertas condiciones de salud y medicamentos que se sabe que causan reacciones adversas con los tratamientos antivirales. Hable con un proveedor de atención médica para saber si un tratamiento antiviral es una opción.

Planificar con anticipación

Para cualquiera que tenga un alto riesgo de COVID-19 grave, actuar rápidamente cuando ocurra una infección y planificar con anticipación será clave para obtener el tratamiento que pueda necesitar. Comience por planificar:

• Hacer una lista de medicamentos actuales
• Hablar con un proveedor de atención médica para entender el riesgo de COVID-19 grave y discutir las posibles opciones de tratamiento
• Crear un plan para hacerse la prueba y comenzar el tratamiento al primer signo de una infección por COVID-19 y antes de que se cierre la ventana de oportunidad de 5 a 7 días

Por qué importa la rapidez

• Detener la multiplicación del virus: Cuanto antes alguien comienza el tratamiento antiviral, mejor oportunidad tendrá de reducir el nivel del virus en su cuerpo, lo cual puede marcar una diferencia en su recuperación.
• Minimizar los síntomas graves: La acción rápida puede ayudar a prevenir que los síntomas leves se vuelvan graves, potencialmente evitando una estancia hospitalaria.
• Limitar el impacto del COVID-19 en su vida: El tratamiento rápido puede acortar el tiempo que esté enfermo, aliviando la carga del virus en su vida y permitiéndole volver a la normalidad.
• Ayudar a proteger a otros: Las personas con alto riesgo no sólo enfrentan peligro ellos mismos sino que también pueden propagar el virus sin saberlo a otros. El tratamiento rápido ayuda a romper la cadena de transmisión.

Recuerde, el tiempo importa en la reducción de los riesgos del COVID-19 y planificar con anticipación puede marcar la diferencia en las vidas de los más vulnerables.

(NewsUSA) - Interest rates have soared dramatically, raising the cost of buying anything on credit. For example, over the past two years, mortgage rates have more than doubled, adding hundreds or thousands of dollars to monthly payments. At the same time, high interest rates offer new opportunities for earning an attractive return on savings. With rates expected to stay high, now is the time to consult a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^™ professional who can help you find ways to earn more interest while paying less.

The Basics: What Are Interest Rates?

Nobody lends money without wanting all of the principal back — and more. The “more” is the interest rate you pay. It’s the price of money, and it can add up quickly. For example, if you have $10,000 in credit card debt and you take five years to pay it off with a 20% interest rate, you’ll pay $5,896 in interest. On the other hand, if you paid off the credit card with a five-year, 10% personal loan, you’d pay only $2,748 in interest — a savings of $3,148. That’s just one strategy among many that a CFP^® professional can customize to your particular financial situation.

Earn More Interest With These Three Letters: APY

The annual percentage yield (APY) is used to compare the rates paid on savings accounts and some checking accounts. Look at the APY number, not the interest rate number. Two banks may have the same posted interest rate but pay different amounts of interest. Here’s how: Bank No. 1 pays interest everyday on your principal and the interest you earned previously. That’s called daily compound interest. Bank No. 2 compounds interest only monthly. The financial institution that pays compound interest daily will have a higher APY.  

Is your money sitting in a bank earning an interest rate of one-tenth of 1%? Many people are making that mistake. Would you like to earn far more interest? A CFP^® professional can help you review options.

Make Smart Money Moves With a CFP^® Professional

Some interest payments are tax deductible while others are not. A CFP^® professional can figure out whether it makes sense to shift some of your borrowings to the tax-deductible category and save you money.

The Impact of Interest Rates on Investing

High interest rates affect stocks, bonds, real estate and other investment markets, and some investments are more resilient than others in high-interest rate environments. That is where the insights of your CFP^® professional can improve your portfolio’s performance.

Whether you want to pay less interest or earn more, a CFP^® professional can guide you to better outcomes during a time of high interest rates. Find your CFP^® professional today.
